1993 - 1994 Ferrari 348 GTS


Ferrari 348 GTS

In 1993, in the same time with the coupe version, Ferrari unveiled the 348 GTS - a model that replaced the 348 TS. Like its coupe brother, the 348 GTS remained into production for only one year.

This two-seater convertible offered the same specifications as the 348 GTB, with the choice of open or closed-top motoring and a layout that had by now become a Ferrari classic: as on the outgoing TS, the hard top was stowed away in the space behind the seats.

The GTS retained the stiff, stress-bearing chassis (featuring various section tubular front and rear sub-frames) of the coupe version while the styling, which remained unmistakably Ferrari, married elegance with excellent aerodynamics.

SLS Panamericana body kit


SLS Panamericana body kit

Priced at over a quarter of a Million dollars, if you are part of the crowd that can afford the new AMG SLS then you are part of an elite group of gull wing enthusiasts that will go from 0 to 60 MPH in 3.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 196 MPH thanks to a very special version of the AMG hand built 6.2 Liter V8. In order to further separate your new super car from the rest of the SLS owner’s registry an owner could leave the amazing German engineered internals alone and focus on the new retro Benz’s appearance. How would a modern day Gullwing with even more styling cues from the original sound. If that sounds like your cup of tea then you might be interested in knowing about the automotive re stylers Gullwing-America.

Their latest creation is called the SLS Panamerica, a seven piece body kit made from Hybrid Aluminum and carbon fiber that emphasizes the classic car’s signature side vents with a wider stance and include a few chrome details emphasizing accents like the grill frame. The new Gullwing rides on a set of staggered wheels measuring 19 inches up front and 20 inches out back. On the inside, Gullwing-America added Alcantara inserts into the sport buckets that resembles the original car’s plaid upholstery which is offset by modern touches like a set of illuminated brushed Aluminum door sills. What would be better than pulling up to a Silver Arrow car show in a truly retro 2010 Gullwing.

1993 - 1995 Ferrari 348 Spider


Ferrari 348 Spider

The spiders built by Ferrari have always been a perfect expression of their sporting heritage. It was this very heritage that inspired Pininfarina stylists as they set about designing the spider to clothe the refined 348 series chassis. The result was a car that offered the same impressive performance as the berlinetta, with a remarkably flex-free chassis, as well as the possibility of true top-down motoring.

Revealed in 1993, the 348 Spider represented the first fully open Ferrari in over 20 years. It came to replace the Mondial Cabriolet.

1994 Ferrari 348 GT Competizione


Ferrari 348 GT Competizione

In 1993 at the Turin motor show Ferrari unveiled the special edition 348 GT Competizione. Produced into the middle of 1994, only 56 units were made, eight of which were right-hand drive. Also known as the 348 GTC, it was Ferrari’s last 348 road car and featured the hottest specification of all.

In order to differentiate it from the other 348 models, for the Competizione the doors, sills and bumpers were made from a mixture of super lightweight Kevlar and carbon fibre composite. The car sat on polished 17-inch split rim Speedline wheels.

On the interior Ferrari added Kevlar sill panels, lightweight door trim and cloth-trimmed Kevlar racing seats. All the carpeting was removed from the passenger wells in order to make the car as light as possible. There were also drilled aluminum pedals and a steering wheel inscribed with each cars serial number.

Rides Genesis Coupe


Rides Genesis Coupe

Don’t count out the imports at the 2009 SEMA Show just yet, because Hyundai is bringing another one of its customized sports coupes to Las Vegas. The Rides Magazine creation is one hot tamale and look like it will contend well with the V8 powered sleeper from RMR and Greddy’s tuner Genesis Coupe.

This two door rear wheel drive Genesis will be wearing a Sarona Design body kit and is painted in Porsche 911 GT3 RS orange. The Genesis Coupe’s interior will feature a pair of racing buckets to keep the passengers riding up front in place on the twisties and a Memphis Car Audio sound system to keep thos e in the back entertained. If you pop the hood of the Rides Magazine Genesis Coupe you will find a 2.0 Liter four banger being fed pressurized air from a Turbonetics turbocharger that is cooled by a Spearco intercooler and then spit out the bakc through a GReddy full turbo back exhaust. Just like the HKS Genesis Coupe that we finally got to see up close, this bright orange Genesis Coupe should look better in person than we ever expected. We can’t wait to get to Las Vegas.





Hertz announces pricing for rental Lotus Elise and Exige models


Hertz announces pricing for rental Lotus Elise and Exige models

Remember when Hertz announced that it was adding the Lotus Elise and the Lotus Exige to their fleet of rental cars? Well, now we know just how much it’s going to cost us to sit behind one of these bad boys for a day.

The rental car agency announced that the two Lotus models can be rented out for the princely sum of €458.54 per day in Italy and around $600 per day in the US. Unfortunately, that price doesn’t include insurance packages, which you’ll probably need if you do rent out one an Elise or an Exige.

It’s a lot more expensive than any of us previously thought, but then again, the thinking goes that if you can afford to pay that amount for a chance to blast off into the sunset with an Elise or an Exige, then it should be well worth every penny.

In addition to announcing the rental price for the two Lotuses, Hertz also announced that they are now offering a rental BMW Z4 sDrive 23i and a Fiat 500 Barbie edition. The Z4 will be available in selected dealerships in Spain with prices starting at €121 per day, while the Fiat 500 Roso will be available in The Netherlands for just €35 a day.

Audi releases special edition TT TFSI Coupe in Japan to celebrate its 100th year

For most car brands, celebrating an anniversary – be it ten years or 100 years – is one of those times that warrant a special commemorative car. It’s happened a ton of times and for as long as someone is blowing out candles, it’s bound to happen again.

This year, one of the car brands that is celebrating its centennial year is Audi and as you can expect, celebrations aren’t complete without a special edition version of the Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Coupe where it will be exclusively launched in Japan.

1994 - 1999 Ferrari F355 GTS


Ferrari F355 GTS

In 1994 Ferrari unveiled the F355 - a model that remained into production until 1999 and with 11,273 units produced it became the most successful Ferrari in history. The F355 was the first model to be produced under the new leadership of Luca di Montezemolo.

New for the F355 has been the nomenclature: engine capacity plus number of valves per cylinder: 355 = 3.5 liters engine capacity and 5 valves per cylinder (until now it was engine capacity + cylinder number).

The F355 GTS (along with the Berlinetta) was the first model in the series, with a Spider version following in 1995. It featured a hard top that could be stowed away behind the seats. The F355 GTS featured a stress-bearing semi-monocoque steel chassis with variable-section, tubular front and rear sub-frames and electronically controlled suspension. The V8 engine produced a specific power of 109 bhp per liter and, mated to a close-ratio 6-speed gearbox, ensured very high performance.

Ford Focus RS by Wolf Racing


Ford Focus RS by Wolf Racing

The Ford Focus RS is one of the most coveted cars in all the land, after all there is nothing like a turbocharged sport compact that will smoke most modified rides in real world situations and plus it looks like the World Rally Car you see on TV. Even if the Focus RS is the most fun to drive blue oval branded vehicle on the planet, as is in the world of tuning there is no such thing as enough. So the team of engineers at WolfRacing feel that they can do the hot hatch one better with a few simple yet effective modifications tho the engine, drive train and suspension.

Starting out with a revised engine management program for the 2.5 Liter five cylinder engine that boosts engine output from the stock 305 HP and 324.5 lb-ft of torque up to a maximum of 360 HP and 412 lb-ft of moving force. WolfRacing’s tried and trusted competition experience has led them to understand that a well rounded car is about more then just big power figures. A locking differential makes the front wheel drive demon behave in a more civilized manor, giving the driver full use of the turbocharged engine’s power no matter whether you are accelerating full throttle or one wheel up on the rumble strip deep into a turn. Speaking of hitting apexes, WolfRacing also ensures that their version of the Focus RS will get more grip with a fully adjustable coil over suspension. Catering to the tastes of every automotive enthusiast. For the show car winners WolfRacing makes a set of 20 inch wheels to fill out the RS’s wide fenders and for the racing chaps, lightweight 18 and 19 inch forged alloys.
