Crashed: Cadillac CTS-V Coupé

564 bhp in a coupe, the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series doesn't even have so much power. It isn't always easy to control 564 bhp and that is proved by this spot. ErikG_NL spotted a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe in Dubai. That is already a pretty rare car, but to spot this car crashed makes this spot even more special.

Event: pedal to the metal on an airfield

Recently, a spectacular trackday on an airfield was organized in Germany. There were not only cars like a Porsche 997 Carrera S present on this event. There were also supercars like the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari and the Lamborghini LP700-4. This private event was the perfect opportunity for the owners to let themselves go and not risking a ticket. Photographer Philipp Lücke was there and made the following pictures.

Spyspot: Mercedes-Benz GL 63 AMG

The section on Autogespot with spyspots sometimes contains spots that are new for the whole car world. That is exactly what we wanted to achieve, to attract the scoops to our website. AMG seems to be sure that they will produce an AMG version of the GL-class. This means you can launch yourself with this typical American SUV to 100 km/h in about five seconds. Recently, this new AMG has been spotted in Stuttgart!

Daredevil: with your Ferrari F40 to the Nürburgring

Courage, a lot of courage. That is what the owner of the upcoming Ferrari F40 has. It is probably the most spotted F40 on the website. Each summer this copy is spotted a few times. The place where this car feels comfortable but where you don’t expect to see it, is the Nordschleife. With your rare and expensive Ferrari F40 cruising the Nürburgring is not something all F40-owners would think of. Whether the owner has done this as well is unknown to us, but the fact that he travels to the ring with this hardcore supercar is already great!

Spotted: beautiful blue colour on a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren!

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is one of the most famous supercars from the last decade. Even nowadays this car looks very modern despite the car is in production since 2004. With its 626 bhp and 780 Nm of torque, you have a car of which you dont have to be ashamed. What stands out on this SLR McLaren is the fact that it is often spotted in a very boring colour. Black and grey are the most common colours in our database. But sometimes we see something special, like this car which was recently spotted in Abu Dhabi.

Spotted: historical livery on a Ferrari 599 GTO

We have seen some historic livery’s on the Ferrari 599 GTO before. These creations were often very stylish and is wasn’t necessary to know the background story of it to like it. But this is necessary with the following livery, because the colours are not very common. Luckily spotter xdefxx showed us a Ferrari 250 GTO with the same livery.

The straight-six engine returns in the BMW M3 F30!

It only lasted one generation. The mighty V8 from the BMW M3 will be downsized. We already saw this coming after the M5 and M6 lost two cylinders, but eventually it is a bummer. The sound will definitely change. The rumble will disappear and the characteristics of the engine will change. Lovers of the older M3 series will only be happy with the return of the straight-six engine and we can also understand that.

Beautiful: Vorsteiner GTS-V 1M Coupe

Vörsteiner is an American tuner which tunes cars on a different way as Americans usually do. No gigantic wheels, black taillights and other American tuning components. With a beautiful and clean bodykit for the BMW 1 Series M Coupe they make the car much more sporty, but still businesslike.

Gumball 2012: Daily report 2

The second day in New York is all about getting used to the time difference. Some members of our team were out of bed at 5 am already, just because their biological clock isn’t used to the time difference in New York. So we all stood up early, went into the city and talked through the latest plans. It will all start Thursday morning. Stickering the car and registering the participants. These are just a few things of what we have to do on Thursday.

Number thirteen: Bentley LE MANSory

A few weeks ago, twelve of the total twenty four copies of the Bentley LE MANSory were in our database and recently, number thirteen was uploaded. As we all expected, this spot comes from Dubai, the Walhalla of tuned Bentleys, Aston Martins, Ferraris and everything else. This thirteenth copie of the Bentley LE MANSory is spotted in stylish white. This comes in handy with the very high temperatures in Dubai. In summer it can be even 40 degrees Celsius. Than you can better have a white Bentley!

A bit too much? Porsche 930 Gemballa Avalanche

You wanted to stand out in the 80s with your Porsche? Then you had to go to Uwe Gemballa. He does not only tune the exterior of your car, but he also upgrades the engine. The Porsche 930 Gemballa Avalance is one of the most bizarre creations of Gemballa ever. Just look at the back of the car. It is very chaotic and has up to six exhaust pipes. Maybe a little too much, but in Monaco it is never too much!

Beautiful colours on a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé

Brown is a beautiful colour for a car. It is a dark and not very outstanding colour but it is very chic. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé is a very stylish convertible, which was recently spotted in a very chic colour. The paint is dark brown and the roof is beige. We haven’t seen this before and this got us surprised by this colour combination, it is very stylish!
