John Travolta stopped by the local Jaguar dealership yesterday in Santa Monica, presumably covering some business regarding a new ride. Unfortunately, while in the dealer for only 10 minutes or so, his classic 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL was stolen while parked on the street. John has filed a police report. No word on if the classic Benz has been found yet. Definitely not how you want to finish out your weekend. [Source: TMZ]
[/caption] Though not giving us the production version on the Frankfurt stage that many of us expected, Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann took a moment while introducing the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale to confirm the Sesto Elemento is indeed headed for production. “The excellent feedback and the numerous requests we’ve had from our customers have really convinced us to embark on the challenge of producing a vehicle with unique characteristics. We are proud that what a year ago was just a ‘technology demonstrator’ of future super sports cars, even though in working…
[/caption] Yes, it’s true. The production version of the Sesto Elemento is not Lamborghini’s big Frankfurt surprise. Instead, Sant’Agata is still trying to massage some life out of the Gallardo before it’s replaced and has instead brought the lightest, fastest and most hardcore baby Lambo yet to come out of the factory. This Gallardo swan song (unless they end up needing a couple more) is based on Lamborghini’s series racers and will be limited to 150 units. Despite clearly being built with track days in mind, the Super Trofeo Stradale is indeed…

[/caption] Jaguar has opened the floodgates on their long-teased and gorgeous new C-X16 concept. And it is a looker! Unlike the C-X75 and aimed for the world’s elite, the C-X16 has been designed to take dead aim at Porsche’s venerable 911. It is a hybrid, but have no fear. This baby Jag (which is in fact shorter than the new 911) boasts some impressive performance figures. The new coupe tops out at 186 mph with a 0-62 mph time of 4.4 seconds. Most impressive, however, is the C-X16′s ability to go from 50-75 mph in just…
[/caption] As you well know, this is a Ferrari Enzo. One of only 399 built for the public and it’s rotting beneath Dubai’s desert sun. While this wouldn’t be the first time the area’s rich treat one of the world’s rarest and most treasured vehicles with utter disregard, word is that most of these examples are now occurring not just out of laziness, but after owners have fled the country due to failed business ventures. The good news is that this particular exotic was spotted in a police impound lot and can therefore be saved…
[/caption] So, it’s that time again. Porsche has unveiled the all-new 911 and is sending it to Frankfurt for its first appearance in a couple weeks. Codenamed the 991, the new model is 3.9″ longer, sits a bit wider, and has dropped 100 pounds. Both the base Carrera and the Carrera S produce more horsepower (350 and 400) yet consume less fuel than their outgoing counterparts. The interior has also been shifted to be more in line with that of the Panamera. With 48 years of what occurs like the most minimal design evolution…

Well, this just sucks! A Shelby Cobra, ’47 Studebaker pickup, ’66 Pontiac GTO, several mid-’50s Chevrolets as well as a dozen Corvettes have been destroyed by the wildfires sweeping across Texas, and all were owned by one man. John Chapman, 70, had his entire 175 classic car collection reduced to ashes. Despite the loss, John says his house and family are safe and continues on to say you can either laugh or cry. He’s chosen to laugh. I’d be crying.

Excerpt: Sure, Ferrari has had the thorn of Lamborghini in its side since the late ’60s, but with the powerhouse that is Porsche, it is a bit mind boggling the only real competition the German automaker has ever put up against the Prancing Horse was back with the Carrera GT and way back with the 959. While hinted at before, Porsche boss Matthais Mueller has now confirmed the company will be adding a new model into the mix slotting in between the 911 GT2 and forthcoming 918 Spyder to give Ferrari a run for its money. MSRP for the Ferrari-fighter is expected…
