Sebring 1958.

Just a little silent film reel of the 1958 Sebring sports car race.

Audi R8 LMS, V10+RWD.

We can has homologation special?

599XX Has Pipes Like Ethel Merman, Can Probably Belt Out A Tune.

I Don't Know About The Batteries.

The electric power-train isn't really very interesting to me (though if it's something you like that's your business), but I do wonder if Ruf can do this ultra-hip soft-window Targa conversion on any 997 Porsche.

Other Things I'm Missing In Geneva.

Wow, I'm not sure how the rest of the internet managed to miss out on this Koenigsegg, and the Zonda Cinque, but Ultimatecarpage has got a 280 shot gallery from Geneva, and I've grabbed some choice bits.

Pagani Zonda R:


Koenigsegg CCX and Semi-Auto Transaxle:


Gumpert Apollo Speed: Fewer spoilers and a terrible paint scheme don't a better looking Gumpert make.


Spyker C8 Aileron: Just a couple more shots.


SLR Sterling Moss:


Ruf CTR-3: There was of course, the electric Ruf there too, but it's really not this blog's theme. It did however sport a very cool soft-window Targa option.


Lamborghini Murielago LP670-4 SV:


Pagani Zonda Cinque: The script on the engine lid is reminiscent of the Lamborghini 350 GTV prototype's signed hood.


We'll have more on some of these cars as soon as I get through drooling over them.

I Know, It's Been A Little Quiet In Here Lately.

Not that you've probably noticed, but a couple of this week's updates have been pushed back. That's been because A: I'm very, very busy at work with deadlines of someone else's making, and B: I'm getting sick. So it seems that I may have to forego a couple of regular features, and instead, you'll have to be content with a few pictures I've stolen from around the internet, taken by people lucky enough to be in Geneva this week, and not seventeen years ago, which was the last time I was there (and still didn't get to go to the show). It's a pretty good crop of super cars this year, which is gratifying, because I can't see quite the like of them coming along in the future. Sure, we'll probably have ways of moving fast across the ground, but for some of us, this may be the last, best Geneva show. Enjoy.

Ferrari 559XX:


Lamborghini LP670-4 SV: Incidentally, Lambo had one of the hottest "booth professionals" at the show, but Jalopnik won't let me steal a picture of her because they're mean. Here's the link.


Porsche 997 G3:


Spyker C8 Aileron:


Aston Martin One-77: That's one hell of a chassis!


Well, what can I say, check back next week.
