    porsche cayenne 928

    This is the car the world was waiting for - the 5.0 liter 32-valve 928 Series 4. Boasting 316HP, redesigned front and rear fascia’s (it takes a very sharp eye to see the rear section was elongated slightly to improve airflow) , as well as updated interior trim, the 928 S4 was the fastest 928 yet. Numerous other aerodynamic subtilizes were employed to lower the body's coefficient of drag - the front spoiler was redesigned to allow air to pass smoothly under the car with the aid of a new aero belly pan; a set of grill flaps opened and closed depending upon speed and drive line temp. Radiator cooling was serviced by a dual, infinitely adjustable electric fan set. Porsche created controversy again with the S4's foldable matte-black rear wing spoiler. On later cars the spoiler was fixed in place. Astute observers will note the S4 features wider rear rims than before measuring 16 x 8.

    The S4 drive line was upgraded with a larger-diameter single disc clutch replacing the sometimes-problematic twin-disc unit of the 928 and 928 S. The 928 S4 also featured upgraded brakes using four-piston Brembo calipers, even larger rotors and pads, as well as ABS. One ride in an S4 and you'll see the need for such massive stoppers!

    As testament to the S4's super car status, Al Holbert set two FIA world land speed records of 171+mph in a stock, catalytic converter equipped 928 at Bonneville - the same car which could be bought at any Porsche authorized dealer!

    The S4 is an excellent starting point for the serious 928 enthusiast - 32v big HP engine, matching S4 'big-brakes', ABS, etc. The original list price of over $60k+ this car is a great value in today’s marketplace.

    ferrari 360 spider

    With the introduction of the 360 Spider, Ferrari's range of models on sale around the world becomes a total of four. The new soft-top will go on sale during the summer alongside the 360 Modena that was launched this time last year also at Geneva.

    The two 8-cylinder cars join the two 12-cylinder models - the 550 Maranello that marked Ferrari's return to the front-engine, rear-wheel drive set-up for its high performance GTs, and the 456M GT and GTA (the latter the automatic version) which caters for the traditionally popular demand for 2+2s.

    The 360 Spider marks new heights of technical excellence for Ferrari's convertible models, and sets standards that have never been achieved by similar models from any other manufacturer.

    The all-aluminium chassis features for the 360 Spider’s structural sections are in extruded aluminium with cast nodes which are made in the same foundry as the alloy components for Ferrari's F1 cars. The chassis boasts the highest torsional and flexional rigidity figures in the world - 850 DAN in/deg. and 420 DAN/mm respectively.

    This gives the 360 Spider exactly the same performance (road holding, driveability, acceleration and top speed) as the 360 Modena berlinetta. This is in part due to the car's highly efficient aerodynamics, with its completely flat underbody and two rear Venturis. The Spider is very efficient with its Cd only marginally higher at 0.36 compared to the Coupé's 0.33.

    Class-leading performance capabilities are equalled by the Spider's comfort levels and ease of use, especially with the F1 transmission version where the gearbox's steering wheel-mounted paddle change makes even driving in traffic at slow speed a most pleasant task.

    The 360 Spider's hood is available in four colours and its seven hydraulic actuators fold it automatically beneath the rear cover. This flush-fitting system ensures optimum aerodynamics even when driving with the top down. The hood takes exactly the same time - 28 seconds - to open and close. The rear roll bars feature a mesh screen which prevents wind buffeting. Passive safety is further heightened by a reinforced windscreen surround which can take the full weight of the car in the event of a roll.

    The 360 Spider's running gear is identical to that of the berlinetta and the competition version used in the Ferrari Challenge; with V8 engine of 3569, it produces 400 bhp at 8500 rpm and maximum torque of 38 kgm at 4750 rpm.

    porsche 911

    After 35 years, a new breed of Porsche 911 have taken over. The old look was replaced by a new, more aerodynamic body and more technological advances were incorporated in this car than in any other 911, ever. Yet even, with the flashy makeover, the new 911 will never be mistaken for anything else. The new 911 offers a new water-cooled flat-six that offers more efficiency, while still boasting the most power ever available in a Carrera. The interior is much bigger, thanks to its new frame, yet the ride is as crisp and agile as any Porsche ever built. This new breed of 911's still has the old ones bark.

    bmw m coupe

    Once upon a time, well actually not that many years ago my partner Ian Fraser and I published a rather upmarket magazine- Supercar Classics. There was no place in this magazine for anything that wasn't very special and new cars rarely made an appearance. Ferrari GTOs, Lambo Miuras, Lancia Delta Integrales, it was that kind of a magazine. Alas, Ian and I are no longer partners-FF Publishing is just something rather nice and nostalgic to look back upon-but one thing is certain- the BMW M Coupe would have walked straight into the pages of the magazine as a great automobile. Not maybe, not one day, no. On day one. It is that kind of a very special car-designed by true enthusiasts for true enthusiasts.

    It was also the only car- apart from the new VW Beetle that stopped the traffic and made shopping trips in Northern California rather longer than expected- everybody wanted to look at it, sit in it, talk about it. Yes, there were people who did not like the styling but they were in a minority. They also did not understand that for the sort of handling the boys in Munich had in mind huge overhangs were out of the question. They designed the nearest thing to a go-kart that would take two people and their golf clubs (!) from one end of Europe or California for that matter to the other indecently quickly and in total comfort. There are no compromises, no mini-seats for one year olds. No, this car is for two people who appreciate the journey in an outstanding automobile rather then travel from A to B. There is, believe me, a huge difference.
