Porsche to debut new Boxster Spyder at Los Angeles Auto Show in December

Porsche announced yesterday that they would debut a light-weight version of their famous Boxster, one of the companies more popular Porsche variants, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in December.

Porsche claim the car will be the “purist form of the Porsche sports car – light, powerful and consistently open, and very efficient.” The car will weight in at a mere 2,811 lbs making it the lightest model throughout the entire Porsche range and features a 3.4 L six-cylinder engine with Direct Fuel Injection. The engine sits in front of the rear axle for optimal weight distribution and will deliver a hefty 320bhp, 10 more than the formidable Boxster S.

0-100kph will arrive in around 4.8 seconds where fitted with Porsche’s in house PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe transmission and the Sports Chrono Package with Launch Control. The car will reach – with the roof open – 166mph.

Porsche modeled the car on their 1953 550 Spyder, where most of the Boxster’s took their inspiration from. However, the latest incarnation is an attempt to remain truer to that earlier driving experience, hence the increased power to weight ratio and the enhanced suspension which sharpens the handling.

The whole car looks more aggressive and will undoubtedly have significant popular appeal here in the U.S. given the relatively low cost for a sports car of this nature. While the car will be debut in December, Porsche are not mucking about with production and it will be on sale here in February of 2010. The car's recommended retail price is a smidge over $61,000. http://www.porsche.com/usa/

The news about the Boxter comes hot on the heels of Porsche's Golden Steering Wheel award for the Panamera. The Panamera was voted by a panel of experts as Best New Car of the Year in the Luxury Performance Class.

A Porsche press release informs that the Panamera was granted the award after extensive test driving of the Panamera and other contenders by a "50-man jury made up of racing drivers, engineers, celebrities and the senior editors of the Auto Bild Magazine Group". The award confirms Porsche as being deservedly among the ranks of the premium automotive manufacturers in the world.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport.

MY mission today is to offer my clear-eyed take on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. But the price keeps getting in the way.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport

This removable-roof version of the Veyron coupe costs 1.4 million euros, or roughly $2.1 million. I say roughly, because the Bugatti’s price can fluctuate about $14,000 a day simply from one-cent adjustments in exchange rates.

For that price, a rare species of car owner gets a rocket that gleams across the planet’s surface faster than any true production automobile that has come before. The Bugatti shifts occupants around like a Star Trek transporter: from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds, to 125 m.p.h. in just over 7 seconds and on to a top speed of 253 m.p.h. — though 401 kilometers per hour has a better bullet-train ring to it.

Particulars include 1,001 horsepower, 16 cylinders, 8 liters of engine displacement, 4 turbochargers, all-wheel drive and a dual-clutch automatic transmission. Only 150 Grand Sports will be built, tacked onto 300 editions of the Veyron coupe, making the Bugatti the automotive equivalent of a Fabergé egg. A $450,000 deposit gets that egg rolling at Bugatti’s atelier in Molsheim, France.

As a fast-car fanboy, this is where I should need a squeegee to wipe the drool off the page. But while the Saudi sheiks who’ll buy the Grand Sport want my advice as much as they want electric cars, the Bugatti ultimately doesn’t do it for me.

Though I generally test cars for a week, I was granted barely an hour’s audience with the Bugatti. But as with my previous test of the coupe, my impression was of a car so overqualified for public roads that even the ultra-rich would be better off with a more approachable sports car.

Bugatti’s main achievement was making a car that weighs nearly 4,400 pounds — 1,100 more than a Corvette or Porsche 911 — accelerate and handle so well. The second achievement, and no small feat, is how a midengine exotic with more power than a Formula One racer manages to feel comfortable and pliable even in city traffic. With just a little instruction, your grandmother could drive this car at 150 m.p.h. while knitting a Nomex racing suit.

Press the gas pedal, thwack the paddle shifters and the next thing you know the aero wing emerges from the rear deck — a sign that you’ve already crested 137 m.p.h.

MANSORY Stallone The Super Sports Car Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Supercharging powertrain V12 Engine

MANSORY Stallone – an exquisite power pack based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

As a specialist for customisation of Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce automobiles, MANSORY has long been an institution. Now, the company from Brand in Bavaria has tackled the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. With luxurious as well as sporty modifications, MANSORY proves that the company also has a clear understanding of customising Italian super sports cars. Especially light body components made of carbon, a powerful increase to the engine performance and an interior covered with the finest ostrich leather fulfil the car desires of the exclusive clientele.MANSORY Stallone Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

More Bounce for the Italian Stallion
MANSORY pays special attention to performance optimisation with which the car from Maranello made the sprint from zero to 100 kph two tenths faster than the series version (3.7 seconds). The propulsion is only over at 340 kph. Thus the modification, called the Stallone, impressively fills the gap to the fast, 350 kph sports car brother, the Enzo. The engine components newly developed by the MANSORY technicians are responsible for this. The performance kit includes high-performance compressors and custom made intercooling. The supercharging of the V12 power train is supported by a sport air filter with higher air throughput as well as modified control electronics. This increases the performance of the large 6.0 litre twelve cylinder engine from 620 to 720 HP. The torque increased by an additional 92 Nm. The sport rear muffler made of stainless steel underscores the sporty appearance of the MANSORY Stallone with its impressive sound.

Perfect Symbiosis: the MANSORY forged turbine-wheel and the Dunlop Sport Maxx
In order to accommodate the increased performance, the company developed especially light forged wheels with a 9 x 20 inch size for the front axle and 11.5 x 21 inch for the back axle.
11.5 x 21 inch for the back axle. At only 13 kg for one of the front axle rims, the MANSORY wheel is one of the absolute lightweights. By using weight-saving aluminium alloys and with the resulting reduction of the unsprung mass, the acceleration, breaking distance as well as the handling are improved considerably. The SP Sport Maxx model of Dunlop high-performance tyres developed together with MANSORY are a perfect match. The front tyres are 255/30 and the back ones are 325/30. The suspension spring also creates a sporty flair, which lowers the centre of gravity of the super sports car by 30 millimetres and moreover emphasises the wheel/tyre combination even more.
The most exquisite materials, processed with the greatest traditional craftsmanship distinguish the interior of the MANSORY Stallone. The leather used by MANSORY for the interior is particularly durable but still extremely soft. The unique grain of the unusual leather combined with the stylish ornamental seams and the exposed carbon appliqués convey both elegance as well as sportiness in the interior. Masterful handiwork, individual styling, and the highest quality is found wherever one chooses to look. The pedals made of aluminium, the illuminated door entry strips and the ergonomically redesigned sport steering wheel create additional optical highlights.
