They went supercar crazy this week -
new BMW v10 700bhp
z9 concept
240bhp Opel Astra VXR (GM's Focus rival)
9ff tuned Porsche 911 with 828bhp sets a new registered car speed record of 241.1mph.
New Lexus/Toyota SC500-based 500bhp porsche-beating LF-A concept
New 450bhp Skyline.
TVR Tuscan2 driven to Moscow.
New Super Enzo - better looking bigger engine, possibly up to 6.8litres, a LOT more power regardless, Macca F1 central style seating.
F430 spider and a 575m replacement.
A trip to the Millau bridge in a Ferrari 612
An article on 10 beautiful older Ferrari's and their owners.
One of the writers goes racing in the Peugeot Diesel RC Cup.
Most of Ireland's only F1 team (Jordan) sold to some Canadian businessman
And a hilarious suggestion from a reader to get people interested in F1 again - inverted sections of track - seeing that f1 cars produce more downforce than they weigh over 100mph, technically it would be possible.
Also there was an interesting bit on the new mini - a load of drawings from BMW DesignworksUSA of the new cooper and some open back targa types etc.
