Bugatti Veyron Comes With Matching Transport Truck
February 19, 2010
Most people who drive a Bugatti Veyron use it for special moments and not for a two-minute trip down to the shops.
That certainly must have been what this Dutch owner was thinking when he bough a Mercedes truck to carry around his beloved. After all, you wouldn’t want it getting grubby or using up precious miles just as it bumbled along to where you wanted to play with it. Read more
Peugeot SR1 Concept revealed
January 9, 2010
Peugeot are redefining themselves as the ‘Sporty’ part of the PSA partnership, leaving Citroen to go the ‘Luxury’ route. And so far they’re making a pretty credible job of things if the Peugeot RCZ is anything to go by. But the Peugeot SR1 Concept they’ve just revealed takes them on a big leap, no mistake.
The SR1 Concept is a 2+1 Roadster destined to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March. And from this writers point of view it’s drop-dead gorgeous. More than a hint of Aston Martin going on with the long nose and squat rear-end – and praise doesn’t come much higher than that.
We all know that a ‘Concept’ car indulges in flights of design fantasy, and the SR1 is no different. The interior is full of bits that will never make it in to production, but no matter – it looks good. The 2+1 seating will probably never happen and the ‘Crystal Tube’ instruments are too off the wall for a production car. There’s black nickel and chrome; wood and leather inlays and a Bell & Ross Clock. Read more

December 11, 2009

Veritas RS III Roadster
November 23, 2009
After a long drawn-out publicity campaign that lasted a year, boutique automaker of luxury premium sportscars Vermot AG announced that its Veritas RS III Roadster is heading for series production.
But “series production” is a relative word for the 15-man team from Grafschaft-Gelsdorf, Germany, who will hand-build each of the 30 Veritas RS III (scaled down from the previously announced 50) in the series – a job that will require eight weeks, with three cars concurrently built at one time.
Five of these classic 1+1 roadsters have already found buyers in Monaco, Australia, the U.K., Spain and Switzerland, while the company says they have received eight more reservations and over 100 enquiries.
With a BMW-sourced 5.0-liter V10 paired with a choice of 7-speed SMG transmission or a 6-speed manual, the Veritas RS III sprints to 100 mph under 3.2 seconds, and has a top speed of 215.6 mph.
The supercar has already done the laps around Nürburgring Nordschleiffe, and underwent further extensive testing at the Brands Hatch racetrack in England. Its five new owners will no doubt be eagerly awaiting their turns around the track come January 2010.

LAMBORGHINI REVENTON ROADSTER
September 30, 2009
Lamborghini will be revealing yet another boast-worthy super car at the Frankfurt Auto Show coming up this month. This Lambo will be sporting the same stealth fighter-inspired angular bodywork as the standard Reventón that was unveiled two years ago at the Frankfurt auto show.
The new topless Lambo will reportedly make use of its all-wheel drive system to help the run to 60 in just 3.4 seconds. Top speed is expected to be well over 200 miles per hour, as you’d expect from an Italian supercar with a mid-mounted 650-horsepower V12 powerplant. The car, as a coupe model, redefines style and elegance with alcantara upholstery, carbon fiber trim and body panels and aggressive 18-inch wheels. As well as unique aviation-themed LCD instrumentation.
There will only be 20 of these made at this time, making this an ultra exclusive car. WOW.

Raring To Go – Ferrari’s New 458 Italia
August 13, 2009
After five years in production, Ferrari are preparing to retire their F430 line, replacing it with their all-new mid-engined model – the 458 Italia. Set to be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, the latest model to roll out of Maranello packs the same high performance into a fresh, head-turning design.
The two-seater berlinetta has benefitted from the expertise of the best and the brightest in the industry, with its Pininfarina-designed aerodynamic aluminum chassis, the latest technological innovations from the Formula One track, and input from race legend Michael Schumacher himself.
With its 4.5-liter V8 pushing out 570 bhp, the 458 Italia sprints to 60 mph (100 km/h) in under 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h), making it the first Ferrari V8 to break the 200 mph speed barrier. Other improvements over its predecessor include a more direct steering ratio, more advanced traction control and ABS, and reduced emissions and fuel consumption.
Ferrari Storms the Nürburgring with First Store
July 23, 2009
With Ferrari’s name so intricately tied to Formula One racing, you would have expected Germany’s infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit to already sport one of the Prancing Horse’s souvenir shops.
But just last weekend, Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Räikkönen took some time off Sunday’s Grand Prix to officiate Ferrari’s first-ever store in Germany, overlooking Nordschleife.
The 240 sq m Ferrari store is developed by Studio Iosa Ghini, and is a shrine to all things Ferrari. And the store is just a piece of the jigsaw to expand the Nürburgring complex into a Ferrari wonderland, with hotels, shopping centers, lounges and even conference and events centers in the pipeline.
Plans are also afoot to bring the number of Ferrari stores to more than 40 over the next three years, with several lined up for China and Southeast Asia.
