With Polyphony Digital featuring this eagerly anticipated car in the latest of the Gran Turismo franchise, the release of the BMW M4 in the summer of 2014 is also getting people talking, with new pictures now being seen across the web. However, if you want to test drive one today, you can, as long as you have a copy of GT6.!
The Lamborghini Jalpa is a sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Lamborghini from 1981 to 1988. The Jalpa was a development of the earlier Silhouette intended to fill a role as a more “affordable” Lamborghini, being much less expensive than the flagship Countach and being also designed by Bertone. Compared to the Countach, the Jalpa was much easier to drive, having better visibility and being more tractable in heavy traffic and at slow speeds.
The name Jalpa Kandachia came from a famous breed of fighting bulls, a tradition later followed with the Gallardo.
The Ferrari Mythos, based on the Testarossa chassis was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989 it certainly got the world talking. Visually different from the norm the Mythos breaks of the traditional linked panels. The designers attempted to merge the front and back into a single flowing shell. The Mythos is a sporty compact 2 seater ‘Barchetta’. A Coupe, targa and speedster bodies were all considered but the latter was chosen because of the racing connection. That meant neither a roof or side windows had to be dealt with when designing. The aggresive stance is partly due to the rear being more than 8 inches wider than the front. To help with downforce the rear wing can lift nearly a foot, the front lip was also retractable. Like the exterior the 2-seater interior was upholstered in red leather and was intended to recapture the spirit of racing ‘Barchettas’ of the 1960s.
Bentley. Luxury and style with 6 litres of twin turbocharged power all bundled up in a W12 engine. However, not a rare car by any means and if you want to see one in the next 10 mins, just put MTV on.
The new McLaren P1 hypercar.. It’s certainly got the wow factor, 3.8 litre twin turbo V8 which will hit 60mph in under 3 seconds and go on to over 200mph. Packed full of F1 technology including KERS, this can’t be anything less than a winner.
Just check out those vents and exhausts..! Originally TVR had endurance racing in mind, hence all the cooling help. It’s a car that makes a statement and with a 4 litre TVR Speed 6 engine (straight 6) it could put out 380bhp, 0-60 came in at around 3.7 seconds and could stomp on to 185mph.
Stunning looking car from Morgan, keeping their curvy sweeping wings that run alongside that huge front end.
Launched at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance show in California, it shares the chassis of the Aeromax Supersports, but uses an elongated body. The car also has a 302 brake horsepower twin-turbo straight six, making the car Euro 6-emissions compliant.The car’s official press release noted it is expected to achieve 40 mpg. It will be offered with a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission, and rear wheel drive only. With aluminum body panels, Morgan expects the car to weigh 1,250 kilograms (2,760 lb). Along with these specifications it is speculated the Eva GT will reach 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 170 miles per hour.
This is without a doubt one of my favourite Ferraris. It looks exactly what a Ferrari should look like, sleek, powerful and loads of character. A twin turbo charged V8 could catapult the GTO from 0-60 of around the 5 second mark and could go on to 190mph.
Ford’s answer to beat Ferrari back in the late 60’s for long distance racing and one of my cars of choice in Gran Turismo 5, the GT40 certainly done that, winning 4 times in a row at Le Mans from 1966, ’67, ’68 and ’69. The car was named the GT (for Grand Touring) with the 40 representing its overall height of 40 inches (1.02 m, measured at the windshield) as required by the rules. Large displacement Ford V8 engines (4.2 litre, 4.7 litre and 7 litre) were used, compared with the Ferrari V12 which displaced 3.0 litres or 4.0 litres.
Ok, I can’t help myself get a little excited when I see the Lamborghini Nemo (as my youngest would say), with it’s over-the-top styling and super aggressive look, it’s definitely not got the smooth lines of an Aston, but that’s why I love these Lambos. This will turn heads if you’re lucky enough to see one of the three produced and I can understand why some people will hate this, but personally, I love it.
