I have one request....make it! 

101EX - Rolls Royce's new Concept

 


Just like the 100EX except with a roof.. so not exactly sure just how creative and exciting this is but it looks good so I'll let them off. I hope they make this as its about time that platform gets a work out. The Phantom has been a succes albeit a slow one.. 

Lamborghini Mucrielago P640

 

What did they think they were doing…its so achingly cool and I can’t afford one!.. maybe its just the flat grey paint work..or the alloys but I seriously want one of these in my garage… more so than when the big Lambo first graced the pages of automobile glossies. I don’t know why but its just so bang upto date.. There hasn’t been much of an update externally so I think I will put my drooling down to the colour / alloys combo.. However Lambo have upped the engine to a whopping 6.5 ltr which now explodes 640hp down the drive shafts..all 4 of them…. When Audi bought Lamborghini all those years ago we all thought..oh dear Audi was going to rape the brand and Lambos were going to lose that Diablo touch.. but I have to say they have been doing an amazing job.. First the Muchie then the Gallardo.. now we are seeing interesting concepts of the Muira… what next?... something to go up against the Aston V8?.... Who knows.. If a big fan.. 

Evolution...

 


It takes a photo like this one to realise the true faith shown by Porsche in the original concept... respect! 

Porsche 997 GT3

 


GT3... Porsche has only used these three letters on two previous models, both based on the 996 model, both were an outstanding success. Following on from the RS models the GT3 carries forward the purest form of 911 to the race enthusiast, wealthy trackday and privateer GT teams across the globe. The current 997 GT3 has been racing for almost a year now, no doubt collecting test millage for the road going version so its no surprise that the figures have increased...dramaticaly!

The engine in the last model was known for its flexability, its strength and power, all from a relatively small block, 3.6 ltr delivering 380 bhp was not to be sniffed at and as such has held a position as one of the best power plants in the business. So to the 997 engine more of the same I guess...yup much more , the 997 GT3 uses the same 3.6 ltr flat 6 NA but 414bhp is now delivered.. this has to be one of the highest outputs / cyclinder NA of any road going engine, if not the highest..???

Vsually the 997 GT3 is slightly bolder than the outgoing model with some sportier detailing around its rump and nose, this bodes well as there were far to many 996 C2's running the areo kit to look like a GT3.. this however and thankfully is more difficult now.

I can't wait to see this car go through its paces, I have a feeling that Porsche wants to blast the F430 CS into next week when it comes to a head to head.. I honestly feel this is why the bhp has been upped by quite a margin..

Role on the FIA GT3 championship where we will see customer race versions battle it out with its exotic competitors and lets see it hammer those Italians on the test tracks of Top Gear and Autobild..

I'll take mine in orange please with heavy black strippes by the way.. 

Porsche finally launches the 997 Turbo

 

So much expectancy rests on the shoulders of this car.. it’s predecessor was the ultimate all rounder and has led the pack confidently in the face of steep competition from both Ferrari and Lamborghini. The new breeds from Italy, the F430 and Gallardo offer a phenomenal package but those who appreciate the less flashy business end of the supercar market know the Turbo is king.

The 997 Turbo ups the tempo with an increase in bhp, some further technical editions and an aggressive stance... is the Turbo still King?...
