With the new Porsche Turbo, Sportec has taken a racer under its wing which is already in its standard version a quite agile machine.
The engine, exhaust and chassis components newly tuned by Sportec quicken the Porsche in a way to allow a peak speed of 338 km/h while the gained performance excites the appetite to literally devour the tarmac during spontaneous bursts of speed.

Andrew Frankel of The Sunday Times has been lucky enough to drive the beautiful Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. He doesn’t seem too overawed by it though…
“If you want a new SLR, a Roadster it must be. Is it worth £350,000? Not even close. Do I want one? Not much. Will it at last achieve the one thing the SLR coupé never managed and prove a success in the showroom? I expect so.”

We spotted this unfinished project while scouring the ‘bay this morning. It takes someone with a good imagination to call it a VW Golf, as the owner has decided to ditch the original 1.8L powerplant for a more substantial 3.5L V8 unit. The new engine is accompanied by the AWD system and pretty much everything else from a 1986 Range Rover. Home made Rallye Golf - on steroids…
Grab yourself a bargain, here!

Here’s a few shots of Audi’s forthcoming Q5. Likely engines will include a direct-injection 2.0L four cylinder unit and a 3.2L V6. There could also be a 4.2L V8 S-line version. The Q5’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system has a 40/60 percent front/rear torque bias. Changes occur thanks to a seven-speed DSG or six-speed manual. It’s expected to be here by 2008.
Looks like someone’s shrunken their Q7 after taking it through the car wash a few too many times…
