The Naturally Aspirated 6.0-liter




Ginetta has pulled the wraps off its new supercar ahead of its public premiere at the Geneva Motor Show. The Ginetta supercar adopts a front-mid engine layout wrapped in a pretty aggressive carbon fiber bodywork that鈥檚 designed to provide huge levels of downforce. The chassis utilizes a bespoke carbon-fiber tub and power comes by an in-house designed V8. The naturally aspirated 6.0-liter, dry-sumped 90-degree V8 is built from a single aluminum billet block with forged inners, featuring Ginetta鈥檚 own design of throttle bodies. Power is said to be over 600 hp and 700 Nm of torque. The engine is paired to a bespoke six-speed sequential transmission with carbon propshaft and paddle shifters that not only delivers lightning quick gear changes, but allegedly also provides a racecar-like soundtrack. Ginetta claims the dry weight of its new supercar is just 1,150 kg, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 545 hp per tonne - and that鈥檚 despite featuring a FIA-spec rollover structure as standard.





The new British supercar鈥檚 design has been inspired by Ginetta鈥檚 LMP1 cars, which somehow explains the looks and the race-car levels of downforce (376 kg at 160 km/h). Weight distribution is a near-perfect 49:51 front to rear, while the chassis sports adjustable pushrod double wishbones in all four corners. Although the company didn鈥檛 release any pictures of the interior apart from a single shot of the molded seats, they have divulged that it will feature plenty of Alcantara, carbon fiber and billet aluminum. Despite its hardcore credentials, Ginetta鈥檚 new supercar will also come with ABS, traction control, a reverse camera, automatic headlights, park sensors, air conditioning, heated screens front and rear, wireless phone charging and more. Ginetta will produce just 20 examples of its supercar in 2020, and 12 of them are already sold. 532,000 in current exchange rates, which means it will have to do battle with a number of models of exotic rivals by the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini et al.





Powered by a 3.8L 6-Cylinder engine producing 385hp/310lb-ft of torque and backed by a 6-speed manual transmission. Only 10,492 pampered miles from new. The Cayman concept. A sports car that seeks out the curve like no other and then takes full advantage. A concept so intimate with the road that it can hardly be improved. The GT4s have caused quite a stir among motorsport enthusiasts both on and off the track. They stand for even greater power and an even sportier specification. Revisited and intensified, the GT4 is an all-new Cayman - from the styling to the engine. This Porsche Cayman GT4 Coupe features a 3.8L 6-Cylinder engine that's backed by a proper 6-Speed Manual transmission. The 3.8-liter flat-six engine with direct fuel injection and VarioCam Plus delivers 385 hp. With the 6-speed manual gearbox the Cayman GT4 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The smooth and precise 6-speed manual gearbox is optimally adapted to the high power output of the engine. Shift throws are short and the gear lever is easy to operate. The sound of the Cayman GT4 is particularly resonant and distinct. Always On Site, Nobody Has What We Have!





Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show. Concept showcases the Japanese marque's AI-derived autonomous driving technology. One of the AI鈥檚 autonomous features is Highway Teammate that has the ability to drive on the motorway from slip road to exit in fully autonomous mode without any input from the driver. This feature is an addition to the already autonomous-filled production LS set to go on sale in 2018, which will gain from features such as automated merging, lane changing and lane keeping on motorways. Concept, software updates can be downloaded directly to the car so the driver can benefit from all-new features such as information on surrounding areas. This helps grow the car鈥檚 brain so to speak and makes driving become less of a chore. Tron-style lighting on either side of the front grille underneath the headlights to distinguish it from the standard LS saloon, as well as bigger and more dramatic wheels. One bar LED taillights is another unique design feature.
