BMW M3 GTS: Yes, That is a Roll-Cage


Though not exactly new news (it was unveiled late last year), we finally have the official stats. Even better, we have video. And not just any video, it’s official video from the official officials at Bimmer. Plus, it’s shot at the Nurburgring, the official track for proving your manliness.

On to the stats: the new BMW M3 GTS boasts 444 hp, comes in upchuck orange, has a roll cage and a wing, and your kids are not invited (no rear seats).

 

Blackjack, the Legal Drinking Age and the McLaren F1

mclaren-blackjack

With a pinch over 100 units made, there is no doubt that the McLaren F1 is one of the most desirable super cars to ever grace a rich guy’s x-mas list. With run-of-the-mill road models going for $2.5 million and up and rarer LM models going for $10 million, these coveted penis extenders usually end up in museums and private collections—so seeing one in real life a pretty rare occurrence.

But what about seeing 2, or 5, or 10 in one place—impossible you say? We thought so too, until we saw this: 21 real-deal McLaren F1s gathered together at the McLaren Headquarters. That’s better than 20% of every McLaren ever made. Blackjack!

A Caterham 7 in Lambretta Clothing

the-who

Everyone knows that the best track-car bang-for-your-buck comes from the legendary Caterham 7. And, everyone knows that a proper mod machine is a Lambretta scooter. But, what would one get if the two were combined?

Caterham-Lambretta-Special-Edition

Well, wonder no longer, because it is here, the Caterham Lambretta Special Edition. Looking like a cross between a retro roadster and the cover of The Kids are All Right by the Who, Caterham teamed up with Lambretta Clothing to drape the famous roadster in Union Jack livery. Reminds us of "The Punk and the Godfather” (Quadrophenia, side one, track five).

Check out the full pictorial, most fittingly posted by our friends across the pond at evo magazine.

   

Spy Shots: BMW M1, Caught on Mobile Phone

BMW M135i? from MrBTG on Vimeo.

Today, a bit of irony. Last week we ran a story about famed auto spy Brenda Priddy (thank you Brenda for commenting and confirming our existence!). To get her famous spy shots, Brenda uses the best camera gear (super-expensive), employs a crew, and roams around the Mojave Desert for months on end. Well, some guy caught this week’s story on his mobile phone—go figure.

On to the story.

As you know, we’ve been keeping tabs on the highly anticipated BMW M1 production model. Well, it looks like the boys at Bimmer have taken one step closer to releasing another “M”onster onto the unsuspecting streets. This video, shot on that damn mobile phone, catches the new mini “M” in motion on the legendary Nurburgring.

   

Who is Brenda Priddy?

Who-is-Brenda-Priddy

Who’s Brenda Priddy? Ninja assassin? No. CIA operative? Nope. MI6 agent? Wrong again. But let’s be clear, if Brenda Priddy was any of these things, and you were on her bad side—you’d be dead right now. That’s right, Brenda Priddy, wife and mother of two is the world’s greatest automotive spy photographer.

   

Calling Vanilla Ice: The 5.0 Mustang is Back!

2011 Ford Mustang GT

Hooray, the 2011 Ford Mustang GT finally has its heart and soul back, in the form of a howling 5.0 liter V8. How much howling you ask? How about 412 mustang’s worth—yeah, they don’t call this new engine the “Coyote” for nuttin’.

With 8 cylinders, 5 liters, 32 valves, and a whole lotta horsepower, the Camaro crew better be looking over their shoulder. The GT boasts all kinds of electronic-timing-advanced-retard mumbo jumbo, but according to early road tests, this ‘Stang beats the Camaro SS in any straight line. And as usual, expect a stable full of 2011 Ford Mustang Accessories to come galloping in its wake.

Looks like you don’t even have to roll the top down to let your hair blow with this pony.
