It’s so beautiful that you have to look at it carefully before you get on board, perhaps from all angles, to enjoy even the smallest details. I usually think of collectors who buy two of a kind – one to ride and one to display somewhere on their vast property – but in this case I understand them. This is the second speedboat built with love and passion by Paul Brace and the boys at Eagle, and this Superleggera version is even more beautiful than the first. The changes are minimal, but they make a big difference in terms of appearance. For example, there are now two gutters, a central one instead of four, and around the headlights, silver replaces black. Inside, the leather is smooth, not quilted,…

Used Sports Cars - Audi RS4 4.2 V8 - Sports Cars The second seriesAudi RS4 was born in a time of plenty: in 2006, the war on emissions had not yet really begun, and manufacturers (especially German ones) were competing to put the biggest engine under the hood of their sedans. Audi decided that the 2,7 V6 biturbo engine for the RS4 was too small: a V8 was needed. So the RS4 B7 (as it is called) is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.2 FSI V8 engine capable of 420 hp and 430 Nm of torque, shots from 0 to 100 km / h in 4,8 seconds and reaches me 250 km / h autolimitati. When new, in 2006, it cost 76.000 euros, now you can find it for 20.000). ...

Heel toe - Sports Driving Glossary - Sports Cars Il heel - in English "heel and toe" - is a technique used in sports driving during the climbing phase. It is called so because during the maneuver you need to press the gas pedal and brake with your right foot at the same time, and to do this you need to use the tip and the heel. This is only possible in cars equipped with a manual transmission, and mainly serves to smooth downshifts and keep the car stable under braking (especially in the case of rear-wheel drive cars). Go si effettua The toe-heel maneuver is performed during braking: While braking with your right foot, you press the clutch with your left and prepare to shift into…

The track is one of the best places to express your desire to run, along with Mottarone and the roads of Wales. However, considering that about 99% of the world's population does not live in Wales or at the foot of Mottarone, it is better to choose the first option. Although modern sports cars have enormous power and very powerful brakes, not all of them are suitable for intensive use on the track. When driving at the limit of the car's capabilities on the track, the forces acting are such that they can put even the most extreme car to the test. Even supercars of the caliber of McLaren, Lamborghini and Ferrari suffer from problems when whipping. Electronics, in fact, easily send the car into "protection", forcing it to go through the game very quickly. So the brakes and tires, no matter how effective they are ...

Two supercars that make your heart beat faster and make you drive hard. In comparison. Which is better? In an increasingly hectic world, there are fewer and fewer moments when time seems to slow down as we get caught up in everyday life that quickly slips away. For those who write, watching a supercar parade has always represented a small moment of escape from the incessant and fast flow and rhythms imposed by modern society. A few moments when it seems that time almost stands still, a few moments of anticipation - hoping to hear the magical sound of the engine as it passes. In the paddockAutodromo Nazionale di MonzaDirectly in front of me is parked a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster LP 700-4 and a Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4. For the layman, these are about two of the best…

La Bugatti Veyron is an exercise in amazing mechanics, a car that is difficult to think of and even more difficult to build, put into the hands of people who could not, especially from an economic point of view, carry out such an ambitious project, which, fortunately, was realized within the wing Volkswagen concern. A car with big numbers The difficulties in developing the Veyron were enormous, starting with overheating. In fact, to reach the promised speed of over 400 km / h, an unusual engine is required. Il heart of Bugatti has sixteen cylinders, 64 valves, four turbines, ten radiators and one thousand and one horsepower. There Veyron so it reaches a top speed of 407 km / h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km /…

Sports cars — De Tomaso Guarà — Sports cars It has been in production for almost ten years: the Tomaso Guarà supercar, a daughter of the 90s. The Modenese manufacturer presented it in 1993 as the heir to the De Tomaso Pantera, a sports car designed for competition. The Guarà was not created for this, but it remains a pure and sophisticated car. Its appearance is special: the long nose with hidden headlights resembles the nose of a Mazda Rx-7 while the rear, full of horizontal lines, has something of a Bugatti EB110. In real life it is even lower and “squarer” than it looks in the picture: with 4,2 meters long, 2 meters wide and only 1,2 meters high., the Guarà has a really nice presence. Inside…

THERE ARE MACHINES that seem to improve over the years, like fine wine. It's not technically obvious, but over time we realize that there was something pure about them, an old-school philosophy, an easy analogy that, in this increasingly technological and often aseptic age, we can only regret. And the beauty of these cars is that today they can often be taken home at prices that are certainly not a gift, but still affordable. Twenty years ago, without the Internet, it was more difficult: if you wanted a particular model, you had to hope to find it at your dealer or at a flea market after a long and careful search. However, now with one click you can find any car on ...

Lamborghini: all models in the price list - Sports cars Let's take a closer look at the models in the price list of the House of Sant'Agata Bolognese. Ferruccio LamborghiniI made his dream come true: to build a sports car with his name. In the 50s, he built only tractors (Lamborghini tractors still exist today), but after buying one Ferrari - a 250 GT - he became disillusioned and decided to start building sports cars. Since 1963, Lamborghini has produced dozens of magnificent cars, iconic models such as the Miura, Espada and Countach, as well as homologated racing cars such as the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Today, the brand belongs to Audi, but the cars are still built in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Let's take a look at the current models in the price list. Lamborghini Aventador L 'Aventador is the flagship of Lamborghini, the largest, most powerful, most expensive.…

Ford Mustang Bullitt 5.0 V8 460 CV - Sports Car We drove a special Mustang Bullitt on one of the most beautiful roads in Europe. The Ford Mustang has always been an icon of the sixties, a symbol of freedom, a bit of life 'wild' and a bit of rebellion. In addition, it was one of the most iconic cars of Hollywood, the most famous of the divas: the Mustang of Lieutenant Bullitt, played by the legendary Steve McQueen. Few remember the film, but no one has forgotten the ten-minute chase on the streets of San Francisco, where McQueen, on board his Mustang GT390 from '68 green 'Highland Green', chases Bill Hackman in his black Dodge Charger. Today I'm here to take on the 2018 Ford Mustang Bullitt, a remake of that 'diva' from fifty years ago that is bound to be something…

Saleen S7 - Sports Cars - Sports Cars Bad, fast and aggressive: one of the most exotic American supercars ever built Saleen S7: a monster made in the USA that in 2001, the year of its birth, scared its rivals in the FIA ​​GT Championship, most notably Porsche and Ferrari. Ma Steve Saleen, the man who has long worked on carefully crafted versions of the Ford Mustang, has created not only racing S7s, but also road models. The Saleen S7 (7 liters, like its monstrous V8) is what a supercar should be: two meters wide, one (or slightly more) high, the look of a serial killer and with a multitude of air intakes that would make a colander jealous. It has all the spirit of a racing car…

2016 was a great year for sports cars. Compact sports cars reached incredible levels of performance, as did supercars, which now exceed 600 hp, how laughable. But which sports cars are the best of 2016? It's hard to decide. We talked for a long time and had to turn down many, but in the end we all agree. The five cars that are better in terms of looks, performance, driving pleasure and technology. But above all, they give Emozioni more. 5 - Ford Focus RS Fifth place goes to the Blue Oval House super hatch: the new Ford Focus RS shocked everyone with its return to all-wheel drive, and what traction it has. Any all-wheel drive car with a "drift" mode deserves an award, but the Focus…

HOW HOT is a hot hatch? The EVO's yardstick - and I'm sure you'll agree - has always been about the overall driving experience, not the numbers. In practice, the smile they put on your face is more than a tenth of a second away from your knees. Which doesn't sit well with the numbers-obsessed households. But we're still of the opinion that, as important as performance is, performance alone isn't enough to make a proper car for driving enthusiasts. Perhaps Volkswagen got the hint, because it's unveiled a car that's a new Golf GTI, decidedly less powerful than its rivals, although a Performance Pack is an option that increases output by 10bhp (bringing the total to 230bhp) and also includes…

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio – Sports cars The sun is shining on the Venetian hills: I am in a beautiful place, all Byblos Art Hotel (Villa Amistà), an art gallery that is more than a hotel. I am here for the first stop of “Stellate Star”, a culinary journey created by Alfa Romeo that this year includes six stages that pass through the most beautiful villas of the eighteenth century in the company of six-figure chefs. A nice day, no doubt, but I am not here just to eat and learn about contemporary art: I am here to drive. I have already tried the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, but not as much as I would have liked, although I have never tried a Stelvio, not even in diesel version.…

BMW: Sports Cars Price List, All Models — Sports Cars M cars have always represented the best of BMW sportiness. Let's take a look at the most popular Bavarian models together. BMW is not only a luxury brand, but also has roots in motorsport. Many BMW sports models have become true icons, coveted by collectors. Cars like the BMW Z3, ​​the M3 and the M5 have instead become the benchmark for all manufacturers who have ever built sports cars. Rear-wheel drive and driving pleasure are the main components of BMW sports models, but today the range also includes many all-wheel drive models with the characteristics of a real "M". Let's take a look at BMW sports models - derivatives of the standard versions -…

SOMETIMES THAT THE WORLD IS LOOKING CRAZY. Electric cars that work wonders, traditional cars that have too much technology (do we need speed nove marce?)… This means that the automotive landscape is rapidly changing and a little confusing in some cases. But today is a new day, a day that brings with it a comforting sense of closeness. In fact, we have a BMW 435i M Sport (okay, the name is new, but the basic idea is always the same) and the Audi S5. Both have a traditional fire engine that burns gasoline with an unpleasant odor. As always, BMW has front-engine and rear-wheel drive, while Audi combines front-engine and all-wheel drive. And, as always, we are doing them...
