[/caption] After seemingly endless spyshots and video of prototypes lapping the Nürburbring, the latest incarnation of BMW’s M5 has finally been officially unveiled. After ceasing production of the last generation’s V10, the new model gets a 4.4 liter twin-scroll twin-turbocharged V8 producing an immense 560 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque. Direct injection and the company’s VALVETRONIC variable valve timing is also present. Despite these goodies, fuel consumption and emissions have been cut due to the introduction of regenerative braking and (don’t scream) stop-start ignition. Top speed is 190 mph with the M Driver’s Package or 155…
[/caption] We all know that color – Qatar’s Royal Family is at it again with the family’s traditional turquoise color adorning yet another of their supercars. First it was the one-off Pagani Uno, then it was the Lamborghini Murcielago and Koenigsegg CCXR disobeying the parking laws outside Harrods (which they happen to own), and now it’s this reportedly 1,000 hp Ferrari 599. Regardless of how dimwitted they may be for driving around like this on such public and congested streets, at least these gorgeous machines (even in turquoise) are indeed out and…
[/caption] BMW’s limited edition M3s are getting less, or more, special depending on your perspective. With those already out exclusively for the Chinese market, the Australian Pure, the standard CSL-type GTS and the Frozen Gray editions to mention a few, BMW is now adding the Frozen Black. The good news is that the 2011 Frozen Black Edition M3 Coupe IS for the US, but is capped at 20 units (with one being held onto by BMW North America). Priced at approximately $80k, all 20 are fully optioned out with the Competition Package, GTS…
[/caption] Get your orders in now (or wait for the inevitable special edition swan songs). Autoblog has been informed that Lotus will discontinue building the North American version of their Elise and Exige models this August. What may seem like a sudden announcement, this has actually been cooking for awhile. Yes, Toyota is discontinuing the 4 pot Lotus uses for these vehicles, but the real headache is the US government – The exemption Lotus received back in 2004 for lacking ‘smart’ airbags on these particular models is expiring. So, until the new Elise comes in 2015, safety…
[/caption] The odds of you NOT knowing about Ralph Lauren’s exquisite automotive collection is slim. Previously, your odds at getting to see any of them in person was even slimmer. Now, 17 of his most prized vehicles are on display at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. These 17 vehicles are not just some of the best in his collection, but are examples of some of the most important vehicles of the last century. The collection is highlighted by the 1990 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Best of Show winner and one of only…
[/caption] Whether you’re actually looking to park one of these gorgeous machines in your spacious garage or just daydreaming, now’s the time to play with AMG’s configurator Visualizer now live for the new 2012 SLS Roadster. Though we imagine many wealthy individuals will somehow get their cars ordered (or re-done after the fact) in some non-traditional hues, from the looks of AMG’s choices most of the SLS Roadsters we’ll see around will undoubtedly be a shade of silver. More than half of the colors available are a shade of silver. Protecting these cars…
[/caption] Each year Father’s Day brings us the incredible Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance. This year’s event celebrated ‘The Art of Italian Motoring’ with FIAT as the honorary marque. While FIAT celebrates the classic 500 alongside its US launch of the new 500 interpretation, the added excuse to honor all Italian motors and designers comes with this year also marking the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification (as we’ve mentioned before with the Pagani and Lamborghini Tricolor models). Though literally every vehicle at this event is uniquely special and selectively invited each year,…
