During last year’s FIA GT championship Maserati drove their competitors into the ground with the MC12 GT1 (which already spawned the MC12). On the occasion of the overall victory, Maserati introduced the limited edition (12 units) MC12 Corsa.
The Über-Maserati weighs nearly 400 kg (880 lbs) less than the base MC12 (1,150 instead of 1,531 kg ). This corresponds to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.5 kg / hp (3.36 lb / hp). With 755 hp and 740 Nm (546 ft-lb) of torque, the Corsa will run circles aro

The Bentley Continental GTC is One of the most beautiful ways to drive "topless". Nevertheless, Motorentechnik Mayer has a number of tuning measures up its sleeve which accentuate its strenghts without distorting its character. For example, besides a compact attachment at the rear, no measures are implemented that might detract from the elegant appearance of the Continental GTC. MTM was not looking to alter the characteristic and unmistakable shape. To add the finishing touch, the Bavarian tuning specialist equips

I look at her and the only thing that comes to my mind is a song by Freddie Mercury – “I am in love with my car”. Fabulous curves, 19” rims in the back and 265/35/19 semi slick tires on the rear axle. Definitely a good start of the day. To be honest, I could just stare for hours and enjoy this engineering masterpiece.
However, there are far better things to do with more than 300 rwd horse power. Put yourself in the bucket seat. The two tone buckets embrace you in a firm manner to make sure yo

HAMANN thought wherever a V8 engine can fit, a V10 can fit in as well and look, voilá it fits! The BMW 3-Series coupe comes with a whole array of series-produced engines. The most powerful series-made of these is the M3. When it rolls off the assembly line, it has a 4-litre engine, 420 hp and 400 Nm torque.
Whoever wants to top these performance characteristics, receives from HAMANN not only the “normal“ V10 out of the BMW M-program, but an advanced performance version with 560 hp /412 kW (
