The new Ford GT is a driving computer
Jul 19, 2017, 4:44 PM The Ford GT features more than 25 computing systems. They gather the data provided by the sensors or microprocessors to analyze the information of the car. More than 10-million lines of computer code, or 300MB of data is being processed every second. There are 50 sensors that gather information about the performance of the car, the driver position and the external environment. And all these sensors combined produce a whopping 100GB of data every single hour. In other words, the new GT is a driving computer!

Ferrari 812 Superfast surprises London
Jul 18, 2017, 3:14 PM Here it finally is! The first "customer ordered" Ferrari 812 Superfast. We have seen the camouflaged test cars and a factory car in Monaco, but now we have a spot of the car that was delivered to the dealer in London in the Ferrari red finish. Yes, we are still big fans of the F12tdf and like many, we still have to warm up for the 812 Superfast. But we are happy to see the first spot of this car and hope that many will follow soon!

Spotted: The one and only black Maserati MC12
Jul 17, 2017, 5:55 PM We have known about this car for many years and it has changed hands over its existence. It was sold back in 2015 for $1.57 million at Mecum Auctions and then it became very quiet, until this week when it was spotted by the Kartographer in Beverly Hills, California. Of the 50 MC12s produced, this is the only one that was finished in Metallic Black. Even after 12 years this car continues to amaze us.

Gran Turismo Polonia 2017: back to the roots
Jul 17, 2017, 11:25 AM At its rather humble beginning back in 2005, Gran Turismo Polonia was meant to be a low-key meeting for a bunch of friends simply willing to enjoy some racetrack driving. Over the years, it gained loads of popularity to become by far the greatest trackday event in this part of Europe and a headliner for the entire series of Gran Turismo Events. Now, how about the 2017 edition? To make a long story short: it was the best of both worlds.

McLaren 720S looks stunning in red!
Jul 13, 2017, 2:39 PM It is truly amazing how many copies of the McLaren 720S have been spotted all around the world, especially when we compare it to Ferrari and how slow their production and the deliveries have been of the F12berlinetta successor, the 812 Superfast. It looks like McLaren is doing all the right things and setting new benchmarks for the exotic car industry. The red finish on the McLaren 720S looks stunning, as is the the performance of this car.

Spotted: Liberty Walk Audi R8 V10
Jul 13, 2017, 11:07 AM What do you do when you own 1 of only 10 Limited Edition Imola Yellow Audi R8 V10 delivered in North America? You give the car to Kato-san to make the car even more exclusive. This is the first Audi R8 V10 to receive the kit from Liberty Walk and once you hand the keys to LB Performance there is no way back. As they say at LB Performance, “Don’t let the rules prevent you from enjoying your free movement”. The result is amazing and it is another custom masterpiece by Kato-san.

News from Gaydon: Aston Martin Valkyrie
Jul 12, 2017, 4:04 PM A few weeks ago Aston Martin released yet an other facelift of the Vantage and I can’t say any of us lost sleep in excitement. Aston Martin is known for making cars that are, to put it politely, not really in the top of their class performance wise or quality wise, for that matter. They are, however, strong in the looks-department and price department. The new DB11 challenged this stereotype but if there is one car that will make those born before 1960 interested in the British brand it will be the new Aston Martin Valkyrie.

Lewis Hamilton and Justin Bieber driving around in Monaco
Jul 10, 2017, 11:45 PM Lewis Hamilton and Justin Bieber are close friends. We noticed that last year during the Grand Prix of Monaco. Wherever Lewis was, we could see Justin Bieber. Even at the podium ceremony we spotted Justin Bieber in the front row. Last week the duo was spotted driving around in Monaco in Lewis' Pagani Zonda 760 LH.

Movie: Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 attacks the Ring
Jul 10, 2017, 6:52 PM The new Corvette C7 ZR1 is attacking the Ring at full speed and with a loud V8.
