My mission was to drive it some 550 miles to Cleveland, OH where it would be picked up and driven back to Bentley’s North American headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI.

Written by admin on May 17, 2008 – 3:18 am -
The forged, black-laquered rims shown on the vehicle above are called EDITION RACE and weigh less than the stock wheels, though HAMANN offers many aftermarket wheels from which to choose. Finally, the new M3 is set off with a new front spoiler, side skirts, rear apron and roof spoiler that all work together to actually reduce lift as well as look pretty. The interior, of course, has also been spruced up with aluminum and leather. At the end of the day, HAMANN has made an M3 that’s better than it was before, so apparently there is some wiggle room to make the best even more better. (NOTE: grammer mistakes intended)

Written by admin on May 17, 2008 – 2:20 am -
Created by Jon Sibal, the car is an LF-A with some “Nagata san flavor,” customized graphics, and a hunger for the 400 km/hr mark. We’ll take it standing still. We don’t know how many more people will need to nudge Toyota before the company will give us a sports car again. But if Toyota asked itself “What kind of bada** statement can we make to get back into the sports car game?”, this kind of car could the answer. Toyota? Anyone?
Thanks for the tip, Michael!
