I'm nuts about '50 and '60 Cadis but this one looks like MadMax3.

Classic style rulz, modern plastic sh&@#$%*** etc.
 
No bad idea at all: New US BMW M3 55.000$, drop state tax : +/-7% discount -> Ship to Europe for +/- 1000$ -> Import in your country (not the Netherlands cause they think cars are cows that need to be milked, completely - notice difference new carprice BE<->NL beneath)

For Belgium this would be: 55.000$ - 7% = 52.150€ + 1000 transportcosts
= 53.150€ -> Convert to Euro's (here's the profit: 1 EUR = 1.55651 USD) -> 34.160Euro
Import: + 11%(BE ImportTax) -> 37917Euro -> Tax (for BE Tax on importTax) 21%

Total: 46000 euros for a brand new BMW M3 (newprice in BE: 70.000 euros NL: 105.000 euro)
 
2010 Nissan GT-R Spec-V

Details about the 2010 Nissan GT-R Spec-V, the GT-R's err "performance variant," have leaked out. The new, Mega-Godzilla will get 520 HP, lose 200 pounds, and lap the 'ring faster than the 2009 Corvette ZR-1 , putting it firmly in Porsche 911 GT2 territory. How fast?
Rumors peg the Nurburgring lap time at a scarcely comprehendable 7:25. That's epically quick, and clearly requires some sacrifice in interior appointments. In order to drop the weight, Nissan ditched the GT-R's rear seats, bringing the car down to a still-portly 3,615 lb. The maximum power output of 520 HP is now achieved at 6,500 RPM, while the 440 ft-lb of torque peaks all the way from 3,200-5,200 RPM. In the best Q-ship fashion, the Spec-V looks near identical to the regular GT-R and will allegedly set you back around $130,000, nearly double the GT-R's $69,850 price tag.

I dont agree with the price, it seems absolutely ludicrous. For and extra 4 or 5 secs on the ring it costs 70k, hmmm. Unless the tech in the car will navigate the ring like Horst von Sauma would then maybe, but then the car already loses what little soul it has.

I love this car for what it is, an engineering marvel. It is superlative in every aspect and it puts cars 4 times the price to utter shame. However given the choice between this and say a GT3 RS I'll take the beettle all day long.

Grats to nissan, I think this car will actuall go below 7:23 it looks amazing planted in whatever setting it finds itself in.
 
It might be a little bit expensive, but they already have all been sold.

Seat is going to be building only 55 of them, so a very rare sight.

is going to be hard to find when i'm looking for a Cupra R substitute :becky:
 
Nissan Nismo 350 Z

The Nissan 350Z has been around for over four years now, and you know what that means. . . time for a new special edition! For those unfamiliar with the NISMO name, the acronym is short for NISsan MOtorsports, the brand's in-house aftermarket tuner. The name has been seen on a special off-road edition Frontier over the past few years here in the States, and NISMO performance parts are available around the world. Like the NISMO Frontier, the NISMO 350Z will top the model range, but it's obviously meant for race tracks rather than two-tracks.
For onlookers, the most obvious cues for the NISMO will be the new front and rear fascias, side skirts, and functional rear diffuser and wing, along with the NISMO-branded Ray's Engineering wheels. Painted in gunmetal grey, they measure eighteen inches in diameter at the front while nineteens squeeze under the car's rear. All will be shod with Bridgestone RE050A tires.
For drivers and passengers, the familiar NISMO badges will adorn new black and red cloth seats with red stitching, along with new white and gray gauges. Each NISMO 350Z will have a serialized aluminum plaque on the center console, just to make owners feel even more special.
While the car does get new suspension tuning, Brembo brakes, and NISMO exhaust, the 350Z's 3.5-liter V-6 sits unmodified at 306 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. The stock car's six-speed manual transmission and viscous limited-slip differential also go unchanged. Production will most likely be quite limited, and deliveries begin in July of 2007.

Sounds promising!
Just don't really like the hard contures on the back compared to the round front bumper - but I'm pretty sure that this car will deliver some good performance.
 
I was really excited to find this

As a soon to be father, I was suprised and happy to see that I can strap my child into a Recaro right from the start. :becky:
