A new Porsche 911 is always intriguing because it’s exciting to see how after more than 40 years of improvement the Porsche team still manages to bring changes and advancements to this iconic model.

The new 997 blends the sleek contemporary appearance of the 996 series with the popular retro styling of the older 911′s. The front end is finished with round lights and separate parking/fog/indicator lights. This change, combined with wider hips resembles the last of the air-cooled 911′s, the 993. Other changes in the body shell are the new door handles, wing mirrors and the stylish cut of the rear wings into the bumper/lights.

Even if the 997 looks a lot like the preceding model, the 996, the new car is in point of fact 38mm wider which makes for a more forceful look. With each new model brought out, Porsche has tried to reduce the drag co-efficient helping the 911 glide through the air more efficiently thereby aiding performance. The same thing has been done with the new car, and if we compare the 993 Cd of 0.34 to the 997`s 0.28, we can see how far the aerodynamic game has moved on. The latest body shell and rear wing combine with new under body paneling to also offer increased levels of down force for this latest evolution of Porsche’s best.  Read more...

The automobile is almost a necessity for modern life, there are a handful of non-drivers in the country but on the whole, people drive cars and although the type of cars we drive might be set to change in the near future because of the damage they currently do to the Earths atmosphere, it looks like now we’ve become accustomed to driving, that’s the way its staying.

Cars have become such a big part of modern life that quite often, people tend to judge the success of another person based on the car they drive. If someone drives a car that’s over ten years old and a bit rusty etc then that person is deemed to be financially unsuccessful, whereas someone who drives a brand new expensive car is deemed to be more successful and immediately seems to warrant more respect. Whether this respect is justified or not, obviously depends on the individual.

There is however, a rare type of car that few people will ever have the pleasure of being inside of, let alone driving or even owning. These kinds of cars are put under the label of exotic or luxury.  Read more...

If you are thinking about a hybrid car, you may be hearing quite a bit of “talk”. Some people think the hybrid car is the best thing on the market. Some people say it’ll just pass.

When you are inadvertently caught committing a motoring offence, it is vital that you seek professional advice as soon as you can. The problem with this is that you will quite often have to pay a consultation fee in order to have access to the best advice.

This doesn’t have to be the case as there is a lot of high quality, free information available online. Occasionally we all find that we have strayed over the speed limit and with the busy world of today, it can be difficult not too as many people have a lot on their minds. It is not uncommon for people to commit minor offences through a momentary lapse of concentration and then be faced with points on their licence, fines or even a driving ban.

Unless you are very familiar with the intricacies of motoring law you will either plead guilty or try to fight your case if you feel that you have been unjustly prosecuted. It is very important that you seek advice as the law is very specific on the terms of each and every prosecution. If all of the correct procedures have not been fulfilled then your case may even be thrown out of court.  Read more...

BMW, in the 1970′s wanted to create a super car that would be on a parallel with Ferrari and Porsche. To do this they needed to design and construct a vehicle which would fit in the Group 5 race series.

Homologation rules stated that BMW would also have to build 400 of these cars for road use and so the BMW M1 was born. Sadly however, the BMW M1 race car had a troubled gestation period and its story is now regarded by many as an important lesson on how not to build a supercar.

BMW approached Lamborghini to help in the design of the M1. They asked the company to help build the racer. The product of this union was a lustrous, low riding, mid engine vehicle. The bodywork was done by Ital Design. The engine was a 3.5 litre creation with turbocharger allowing for 850 horse power. The engine fit the Group 5 racing specifications.

Lamborghini was experiencing some financial setbacks during this time. They proved detrimental to the project since there were several delays and then the project was moved to Baur Germany. Still BMW motorsport department plodded on releasing the M1 in 1978, two years later than the project was supposed to be. This provided another problem because the Group 5 racing rules were modified and the M1 didn’t fit in with the new standards.  Read more...
