McLaren F1 – World’s Fastest Car

How the McLaren F1 Became the World’s Fastest Car

In the 1990’s, everyone knew about and loved the McLaren F1. Why? Because it was the most insane car ever, at the time.

It all started when the F1 hit a speed of 231 mph in 1993 at the Nardo Ring in Italy. This rate of speed was unheard of at the time and it blew everyone away. However, in 1998, McLaren upped the ante.

With Le Man driver Andy Wallace behind the wheel of an F1 and the instruction to “go fast,” he ripped down Volkswagen’s 5.4-mile straight at Ehra-Lessien proving grounds. After a few tries and some white knuckles, he managed to hit a speed of 391 kmh. After averaging out the top speed of multiple runs, McLaren recorded an average top speed of 240.1 mph. This top speed would make it the fastest production car of its time and cement the model in automotive history.

McLaren has just uploaded a video that shows just how this record was set, with commentary from Wallace himself. Check it out by clicking play below.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS – Ultimate 911

If you like going fast without forced induction, Porsche has a car for you. Every year we see naturally aspirated engines fall by the wayside as turbochargers become more popular. Even the base model 911 could not resist the urge for boost. But many enthusiasts have cried foul after driving the latest examples of turbocharged cars. So Porsche engineers decided to push engine design beyond what we thought possible. Six cylinders that only displace 4.0 liters are making 500 hp. The 911 GT3 RS is the polar opposite of the 911 Turbo S. Both are in the same price range and offer incredible acceleration, but that is where the similarities end.

Doug DeMuro knows a thing or two about the brand, as he was head of allocations for Porsche North America. If you haven’t had a chance to experience a new GT3 RS in person you might not understand how or why Stuttgart put such effort into going against the grain. From the reverse pattern shifter to carbon fiber body panels, any aspect that hurt performance was revised. We had an orange example downstairs for most of 2016 along with a Turbo S Cabriolet, and guess which one stopped people in their tracks? Allow Doug to explain the finer points and check out the listings from our dealers below.

2018 Bentley Continental Supersports

Often times we are asked: “Of all the cars you have driven, which one would you choose for a daily driver?” My response is always the Bentley Continental Supersports. The response often causes people to remember the short lived model and wonder why I love it. Bentley have been building the Continental in roughly the same shape and configuration since 2003. Comfortable and classy, the easily recognizable design won’t provoke the same reactions as a flashy supercar. A Continental is a polite and unassuming way to pay a little more for a much better automobile.

Starting on the inside, every surface or control is substantial. Machined metal and hand stitched leather are not only built to last, they are relaxing after a long day. The coupe is a real hardtop with no pillar between the front windows and the quarter glass. Federal side impact and rollover standard have nearly eliminated this body style because it requires much more reinforcement in the quarter panels and doors. With all four windows down, it almost feels like a convertible. If you are looking for a drop-top the GTC is worthy of consideration.

Back to why I would daily drive a Bentley: Supersports. Built from 2009 to 2013, the ultimate sleeper delivers 621 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque….Sent to a Torsen center differential, the AWD beast launches with the force of an ACME rocket. Built before turbos handed over all their functions to computers, brake-boosting the Bentley results in a jump to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. Acceleration out of the hole is one thing, but even from a rolling start above legal speeds it will scare you. Built in limited numbers, they originally had an MSRP close to $300,000. Many have wondered why the model was discontinued, but it will be making a return in the near future.

Bentley has released the specs and images of the 2018 Continental Supersports, and it is almost unbelievable. Turbo technology has made great advances since 2013, so the new W12 engine produces 700 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque. Zero to sixty has been shaved to 3.4 seconds as long as you have race fuel (above 98 octane) and sticky tires. Extensive use of carbon fiber has trimmed around 200 lbs of weight from the body, so the gross vehicle rating of only 6,063 lbs. But if you don’t want to wait for the new model, our dealers have amazing deals on the first generation cars. Stay with us for all your Bentley news and check out the listings in the link below.

Skiing and Snowboarding Behind a Lamborghini

When the snow comes down, sometimes it’s hard to take your Lamborghini out. You know, with the roads being all slippery and visibility being low, it can be a drag. But, that didn’t stop TheStradman from having what looks like one heck of a good time.

(Also Check Out – Snowboarding on Sand Dunes With A Mini Race Car)

Upon the mountains, TheStradman attached a rope to his ski storage that’s mounted onto his Lamborghini Gallardo. He and his friends then got behind the Italian supercar on skiis, tubes and a snowboard, and were pulled down the mountain. They even took some time to build a jump that they could launch off of.

Am I jealous? For sure. But being in Florida, snow is hard to come by.

Koenigsegg Regera Super Car

Bordeaux Koenigsegg Regera is a Tall Glass of Wine

Koenigsegg has started a new series of Facebook posts that shows how their employees would customize their own Regera hypercar. The second Regera in this series was created by Johan B., Koenigsegg’s Sales Director for Continental Europe and Nordic countries.

(Purple Koenigsegg Regera Pays Homage to Prince)

For Johan’s Regera, he chose for the exterior to don a Bordeaux-tinted carbon fiber finish. This deep red carbon fiber exterior is separated by a naked carbon fiber stripe running down the center, as well as gold leaf striping. The Facebook post for this car notes: “Johan has French roots and the deep red finish will be like driving around in a glass of fine French red wine (with no blood-alcohol content, of course!!).”

Inside, this Regera has a creamy interior made of a cappuccino/coffee color combination. So, on the outside you have a deep exterior that resembles a glass of wine, while the interior resembles a cup of coffee. Are you thirsty yet?
