In terms of value for money, the Porsche 911 GT3 is unquestionably the car to buy among the 911 range. It offers Enzo-like acceleration yet still maintains an overall propensity for handling. See for yourselves!

Porsche 959 at the 2014 Scarsdale Concours
When anyone wants to find the origin of where modern supercars came from, the Porsche 959 is not just a great place to start looking. It is the only place to start looking. In 1985, when Porsche put the 959 on the market, most of its technical equipment wouldn’t have been out of place 25 years later. All-wheel drive, traction control, adjustable ride height, and twin-turbocharged propulsion were all on the standard features list, and almost all of those features can be found on today’s 911 in some way, shape, or form. It was a groundbreaking car not only for Porsche, but for the entire automobile industry–and it was so good that Porsche didn’t lend the NHTSA examples for crash testing, so the Reagan administration disallowed its legal sale in the United States. Luckily for us, it’s been 25 years since then, and the 959 is now fully legal on our shores without having to go through the Show and Display Act proceedings of years prior. Only 337 of these were made, and I’ve seen 3 or 4 of them since 2011, although this was the first one I’ve seen in silver in some time. In the sunlight of Scarsdale, NY, this 959’s time had come to shine for the public. Enjoy the photos. Continue reading Porsche 959 at the 2014 Scarsdale Concours

Ford GT Spotted in Carmel, CA
Even amongst other exotic machines, the Ford GT is special. Ford did a fantastic job bringing the classic lines of the GT40 into the 21st century, and it really sets it apart on the street, even amongst droves of Ferraris and Lambos. Such is the epic automotive extravaganza that is Monterey Car Week!

McLaren F1 Spotted in Monterey, CA
One of our more insane spots out on the streets during Monterey Car Week this year was this immaculate white McLaren F1. A very rare car indeed, just 65 F1 road cars were produced, and this is one of only a handful fitted with the “High Downforce Kit.” There were not many white McLaren F1s built, and two of the three F1s we saw over the course of the week were white. The other white one was up for auction, where it failed to sell at a bid of $10.5 million. So taking a number like that into account, this is quite a good spot. One has to wonder, in the photo above, what is worth more money, the car or the building behind it?

1993 Ferrari F40 LM at Bonhams Auction
We toured the Bonhams auction at the Quail Lodge during Monterey Car Week, and we found this monstrous Ferrari F40 LM sitting in all of its red glory. One of just 19 F40 LMs produced, this example was basically untouched with delivery miles and no track use to date. I’m not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but someone wound up forking out $2.2 million for it.
The Ferrari F40 is an all-time favorite among most car enthusiasts, and getting to see a rare LM up close is always spectacular. Enjoy the photos!
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti spotted in Carmel, CA
We saw this blacked-out Ferrari 612 Scaglietti looking seriously sinister in Carmel, California during the festivities of Monterey Car Week. Ferrari GT cars are always classy, but those wheels made this one look especially sharp. Enjoy!

The demise of Lotus?
A few weeks back I was at a cruise night event in Hopewell, NJ and I was perusing around the Lotus dealer in the middle of town. There was free beer and a great spread to go with the sexy cars they had on display. I made my way over to a gorgeous dark red Lotus Evora S, remembering well my drive in one a few years back at Pebble Beach. It was an extremely entertaining car to drive, a sort of mini-supercar by today’s standards. 345hp may not sound astronomical at this point, but the Evora isn’t all that heavy at under 3000lbs. It has plenty of punch, and when you mix that with the Evora’s sublime handling you definitely wind up with a huge grin on your face. The Evora is a wonderful car, and quite a looker as well, but then I made the mistake of looking at the price tag…
$94,000!?!?! And I thought Porsche’s were a overpriced!
