Yep, you read that right. One of our friends over on the Edition38 forums is building the type of Lupo that Satan would drive. Not content with implanting a V6 powerplant in the car’s original engine bay, Tas opted to add an extra six cylinders - where the rear seats used to be! Not long until it’s finished. Crazy…

Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany, is to expand its mid-engine coupé model range with the launch, in November 2007, of the Cayman S “Porsche Design Edition 1â€, a limited-edition special series.
Porsche has incorporated various design disciplines into this very special mid-engine coupé: the black exterior emphasizes the purist nature of the 295-bhp sports car and, at the same time, is a nod to Porsche Design and the famous Chronograph 1s designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche precisely 35 years previously.

The final sprint in the American Le Mans Series starts with two races within one week. On Sunday (26 August), the world’s fastest sportscars start at Mosport close to Toronto (Canada). ‘Motor City’ Detroit (Michigan state) hosts the popular sportscar racing series the following Saturday.
Audi has excellent chances of clinching the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ titles early at either Mosport or Detroit. The Audi R10 TDI, which produces almost 650 hp, is still unbeaten in its class and, with eight wins and seven second-places this year, the most successful car in the American Le Mans Series, followed by the Chevrolet Corvette (eight wins, six second-places) and the Porsche RS Spyder (seven wins, six second-places). For Audi, it would be the eighth successive title in America and the second with TDI Power.

We really don’t know what to say here, except: “Next time you’re thinking of crushing a Porsche, you can swap it for our Golf - first. Thanks”

After a fierce inter-team battle, Dindo Capello/Allan McNish (Italy/Scotland) beat their team-mates Emanuele Pirro/Marco Werner (Italy/Germany) by just 0.796 seconds.

Jeremy Clarkson has had his hands on the mighty 517bhp Mercedes-Benz CL 600, and he seems to love it.
“Being overtaken in this is like being overtaken by a ghost. You sense a blur and you feel the air move. But that’s it.
I absolutely adored driving this car. It was a new experience – power without sound – but the thing I loved most of all was the way it looked.”
