MERCEDES-BENZ FUTURE BUS

Posted on July 20, 2016

When you think of your ordinary city bus, the last thing you think of is sexy. Well, this isn’t your ordinary bus. Leave it to Mercedes Benz to completely flip the script on the bus industry and bring the world ‘Future Bus’: a modern, sleek, safe, efficient, and beautifully designed piece of modern transportation.

But of course, this type of efficiency won’t be seen in the States any time soon. Future Bus will make its first appearance in the Netherlands, a common jump-off point for new technology that isn’t strapped by, um, big business and politics.

2017 FORD GT ’66 HERITAGE EDITION

Posted on July 19, 2016

Ford came to this year’s Le Mans with some serious ammunition in the form of this tribute to a previous award-winning model. The 2017 GT ’66 Heritage Edition salutes the historic 1966 GT40 Mark II, driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon. It was an historic time for Ford, whose other GT40s managed to follow suit in 2nd and 3rd place.

To celebrate, Ford made sure to give this ride the proper paint job. In this case, that happened to be their Shadow Black paint, available in a matte or glossy finish, complemented by silver stripes and exposed carbon fiber. It rides on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels featuring a gold satin finish and ebony leather covers the carbon fiber seats in the interior. Ford plans on releasing this model for 2017 only. And with a limited quantity set to roll out, you’d better be quick to reserve one of these beauties soon.

PAUL NEWMAN’S 1979 PORSCHE 935 LE MANS RACER

Posted on July 11, 2016

Step right up and start your bidding! Up for auction is one legendary Porsche: PAUL NEWMAN’S 1979 PORSCHE 935 LE MANS RACER.

The Porsche 935, a car with a dominating legacy of over 150 worldwide race wins through 1984, is one of the most important models in Porsche history. The car presented here, chassis 009 0030, offered legendary actor and racer Paul Newman his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut on June 10, 1979, alongside co-drivers Dick Barbour (team owner) and Rolf Stommelen. The Dick Barbour team did not disappoint with a strong second-place finish overall in front of the largest crowd in Le Mans’ history to date drawn by the 54-year-old Newman. During the 1980 campaign, the car was sponsored by Apple Computers and remains the only racecar the tech company has ever supported. The Porsche 935 continued its racing success winning first overall at the 1981 24 Hours of Daytona with drivers Bobby Rahal, Brian Redman and Bob Garretson, as well as first overall at the 1983 12 Hours of Sebring with drivers Wayne Baker, Jim Mullen and Kees Nierop. This car was restored in 2006 by Porsche specialist Paul Willison to its 1979 Le Mans “Hawaiian Tropic” livery and went on to win Best in Class at the 2007 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Gooding & Company is proud to present this historic car, which is a perfect candidate for the Porsche Rennsport Reunion and other events.

2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport

Posted on May 3, 2016

Via/High Consumption

Here’s a sneak peak at the new 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport. And by the looks of things, this is their sleekest model yet. On the exterior, small adjustments were made to the outward appearance of the Discovery. However, since adding that extra style and grace is always a must for any luxury SUV owner, interested buyers should check out the Dynamic Design Package for the HSE and HSE LUX trims.

Included in these packages are subtle adjustments to the front and rear bumpers, integrated tailpipes in the rear, glossed black 20-inch wheels and black exterior trim all around. The interior receives a nice dose of contrasted stitching and metal pedal covers for a more racing-centric vibe. All versions though come equipped with Land Rover’s new InControl Touch Pro program that uses a 10.2-inch widescreen display for the vehicles infotainment system. It now boasts optional safety aids such as Driver Condition Monitor the check up on tired drivers. Also, for those with a lead foot, Land Rover offers an Intelligent Speed Limiter that uses existing traffic sign recognition to keep your speed in check, even slowing the vehicle down if the driver allows. Lane Keep Assist is also integrated into the program. Models go on sale in August of this year, with a surprisingly affordable window sticker price of $38,690.

2017 BUGATTI CHIRON

Posted on March 16, 2016

I woke up in my Bugatti….

If you’re looking to trade-up your Veyron this year, and step into something a bit more insane, have a look at the 2016 Bugatti Chiron.

This beast of a street machine is by far the fastest and most powerful street legal car in the world. Sporting all-wheel drive, the Chiron rocks out with a 8.0-liter turbo W16 engine that spits roughly 1,478 horses through a 7-speed gearbox. With all this power and muscle, you’re looking at a 0-60 in an eye-blinking 2.5 seconds, pushing top speeds of 261 mph.

As I said, if you’re looking to trade UP, this is the ride. Keep in mind that they’ll only be 500 Bugatti Chirons hitting the market, and they’ll have a price tag of $2.6 million – so there’s that too.
