Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS

This is the new 911 Carrera 4 GTS. Offered in both coupe and cabriolet form, the Carrera 4 GTS takes Porsche's Carrera GTS, and adds four-wheel drive.

Hang on, wasn't the 911 Carrera GTS a 911 Carrera 4S without four-wheel drive?

Not exactly. The 911 Carrera GTS was a parts-bin special, taking the 911 Carrera S drivetrain, adding the optional Powerkit and tweaked bodykit to the wider Carrera 4S body shell. Now Porsche hasadded four-wheel drive. So the latest addition to the burgeoning 911 catalogue is effectively a Carrera 4S with additional performance parts.

So what does the 911 completist get when they but a 911 Carrera 4 GTS?

An extra 23bhp for starters, taking power up to 405bhp. 0-62mph nudges down to 4.6sec manual, 4.4sec for the optional PDK in the Carrera 4 GTS coupe. Similar 0.1 second trimming has taken place to the Cabriolet's 0-62 times. You get to keep the standard C4S's CO2 and MPG figures, as befits a Porsche special edition these days.

Outside, Porsche spotters will note the rear reflector strip which links the tail-lights, but are stymied in showing off their knowledge by the 'Carrera 4 GTS' logos on the bootlid and doors which give the game away for casual viewers. GTS-specific RS Syder wheels in black along with the two-wheel drive GTS's tweaked front bumper and aero parts finish the exterior differentiation.

Inside it's Carrera 4 GTS sill plates, alcantara trim and the PCM touchscreen infotainment screen in the centre console.

Resistance is futile...

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

1947 - 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith

SPECIFICATIONS: year: 1947 - 1959 make: Rolls-Royce Model: Wraith Engine: Inline-6 Transmission: 4-Speed Manual Horsepower @ RPM: 135 Displacement: 4880 L The Silver Wraith, launched in 1947, was an evolution of the pre-war Wraith and was offered in the traditional chassis form ready for the fitting of Bespoke coachwork. The 4,257cc overhead-inlet, side-exhaust engine developed before the war was used, as well as a modified coil and wishbone independent front suspension. Hydraulic brakes were used for the first time on a Rolls-Royce with hydraulic brakes. Following their pre-war tradition of manufacturing a rolling-chassis only, Rolls-Royce delivered these cars to be bodied by independent coachbuilders. Some rationalization however was apparent because the sister model Bentley Mark VI incorporated into a 7 inches shorter frame the same major technical components. The Silver Wraith outlived the Mark VI and in fact survived until 1959 having been modernised step by step with vit...
