Special: our first date with the Jaguar F-Type

‘’The car sells itself’’. These are the words we’ve heard from several salesmen about the new Jaguar F-Type. This beautiful roadster is the highlight of the reincarnation of the brand Jaguar, they’ve finally thrown away all of their discomfiture. Cool, elegant, and sporty at the same time. This is the ideal Jaguar to make the image of the company look younger and give it a big boost. During our first date with the Jaguar F-Type, it were the jabs of pleasure and adrenaline which made us fall in love with the car surreptitiously. Read more

Report: Europe's most powerful Manhart MH5S!

A wolf in sheeps clothes, that’s what fast cars which have more power than you expected at first are called. The BMW M5 is the ultimate of this right from its beginning, it has always been a superfast saloon with great daily usage abilities. The newest generation was boosted up to 560 bhp and has got a V8 under the bonnet. The story stops here for BMW, but it’s just the beginning for Manhart Racing. The company can say proudly that they’ve built the fastest M5 F10 in Europe, and possibly even the fastest in the World. This was a good reason for us to explore this sport limousine which eats a Porsche for breakfast and Ferrari’s for lunch. Read more

Special: meet Inessa Tushkanova

”Hey dude, where’s the information about Inessa?” That’s what I asked Misha a couple of weeks ago. “Ask it herself” is what he answered, “she’s visiting the Netherlands to drive Time Attack with my car.” And indeed, a couple of days later, Facebook was full of the news that Inessa Tushkanova, a Playboy model and also Playmate of the year, would drive the 700 hp Impreza of Misha on Time Attack on the track of Zandvoort. Is this a good choice? She may look cute but can she really drive? It’s time to meet the Russian girl which got quite famous in a short period of time. Read more

From a photo shoot to a rendezvous with old friends

While I was browsing the web, I came across a very interesting Nissan GT-R. Without hesitating, I had called the seller who seemed to be a new tuning atelier of Moscow named GHH Automotive & Lifestyle and arranged a meeting to have a look at it. Once arrived, I was welcomed by –to my own surprise- a familiar face for Autogespot . While the car was being prepared for the photo shoot, I was offered tea and biscuits and got a tour through the company. The management also told me about their other projects, such as Aston Martin DB9, but this whole information will be kept apart for our next article, so let’s move on to our main character of today: the Nissan GT-R.

Special: an expedition through the world of Brabus

Last week, you could all read about the history of Brabus. Now we’ve told that, so it’s time to go on with a second special about the company, where we will show how Brabus makes their products. We start the walkaround in the showroom. Several Brabusses are shown there, with a Porsche 997 Speedster in between, which is a small reference to the history, where Bodo Buschmann drove a Porsche himself. In the center of the showroom we see a Mercedes-Benz Brabus 800 V12 Biturbo Limousine, a widened S-Class with an extreme amount of power and torque. This car is a perfect example of the principals of Brabus: Brutal power and a luxurious, exclusive image. We could also find a new Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG, but this car only had four new wheels and brakes. The price of this all: 20.000 Euros. On the other side of the showroom we saw a new G 65 AMG and a Mercedes-Benz Brabus E B63, a hooligan based on the Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG W212. We think it is clear for you now: it’s all about power at Brabus. Read more
