Reblogged from sportscarsofthe1980s:

The BMW E30 is arguably on of the best sports cars of the 1980s. It competed in DTM motor sports in Germany against rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz 190E. Some BMW enthusiasts believe that this first generation was the best of all the M3 models due to it being built specifically to homologate the model for racing. The BMW M3 would start a frenzy of German compact sports sedans from other manufactures such as the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 evolution models and Audi S4. Other manufactures around the …

Tribute to a great machine!

The new BMW F10 M5 has gained much media love and coverage over the past year or so and we’ve all seen the production versions since its debut sometime in June.  BMW Blog has done much coverage on this and there are lots of great articles by BMW Blog on the F10 M5.  But not much is known of its (faster) sibling to come; the M6.  The above picture is a render or an artist’s impression of the M6, but we believe it will be close to the actual model that will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 2012.

Here is what we can speculate:

Engine: bi-turbo V8 4395cc producing 552bhp and 501lb ft of torque that stretches from 1500-5750 rpm (very flat!!)  from the F10 M5.  the F10 M5 has a 0-60 mph of 4.4sec. we expect the M6 will do slightly faster.

Body: 2-door coupe but could see a 4-door Gran Coupe version (don’t know if that is good or bad…). With BMW ///M boasting new composite manufacturing skills, we should see lighter body and more Carbon Fiber use, especially on the roof.

Brake: Carbon brakes with “Blue” calipers (the new BMW ///M Signature?)

Using the very potent bi-turbo V8 from the F10 M5 brother mated with the seven speed M-DCT and the active Differential, the M6 will be blistering fast and styling doesn’t look too shaby!  I am just wondering if a Gran Coupe version wouldn’t cannibalize on the F10 M5 or is there enough demand for both. We can only wait.

Reblogged from It's about motoring, what did you expect?:

You can now buy this Butch Army 4×4 and go anywhere By Shahzad Sheikh I was first introduced the Sherpa about two years ago (see my video below) and was amazed by it’s astounding ability. This thing could out-H1 a Hummer and now you can actually buy one – without needing to be a four-star general or something. …

It doesn’t look too Parking-friendly but should give hummer a scare.

It is all about Performance and with so much power to the rear wheels, I am not sure that this is the best Utility that you’d take to your next ski trip. But, it sure is a mean machine to blast through town and have enough room for that trip to grocery store that you promised your wife/girlfriend about.

Vorsteiner took on themselves to bring some character to the X6M.  They added an aggressive front lip and an all new vented hood (in carbon fiber; of course) and finished up the rear end with a new deck lid spoiler and a full carbon fiber diffuser to match the 4-tip exhaust that will scream “power” at the blip of the throttle.

Here is a video of the BMW X6M by Vorsteiner

This pictures perfectly captures the lines that make the 911 and perhaps I’d go as far as saying it has made “Porsche” what it is today.

This is one amazing build! If I had only seen the second last picture, I would have thought total FAIL of a paint job Ina Porsche.

The only thing it doesn’t do is probably haul a half-dozen of your best friends around town. Now, LimoBroker of the UK decided that this shouldn’t be the case and they have cooked up (or in the middle of cooking up) a stretched R8 V10 with 8 gullwing doors and 8 bucket seats. I should be surprised but this isn’t the first time as they have done this before with the Ferrari 360 Modena.

Looks more like something that Honda/Acura should have made?!

Hybrid or not, this should stir up some souls.
