BMW Avia Streamliner

2011-06-26T00:41:00.000-07:00

The 1956 BMW badged Avia Streamliner Mk III

Czech company Avia, built two-stroke, two-cylinder cars in the 1950s that were converted to race cars.

In 1956, Miroslav Jurca built this streamliner with steel frames and an aluminum and magnesium skin, powered by a BMW 750 cc 4 stroke, opposed piston motorcycle engine.

It has a fully-independent front suspension with unequal-length A-arms, coil springs, telescopic hydraulic shocks and torsion bars; an independent rear suspension with coil springs and hydraulic-telescopic shocks; a transaxle gearbox and lightweight alloy-magnesium rack and pinion steering.

Porsche is taking orders for the 918 Spyder

2011-03-18T08:34:00.000-07:00

Porsche is taking orders for the 918 Spyder hybrid super sportscar, with production to start on 9-18-2013 and a limited run of 918 units. As the most expensive production car ever made in Germany, the price is set at 768,026 euros or around $845,000 US dollars.

Built around a lightweight plastic monocoque reinforced with carbon fibre, the 918 Spyder is powered by a 563 hp V8 racing engine supported by two electric motors providing another 218 hp, giving it a top speed of 320 km/h. Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h is in 3.1 seconds.

A liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack gives the car a zero emission electric range of 25 kilometres at a speed of 150 km/h. Porsche lists the consumption at only three litres per 100 kilometres but that would depend much on how the car is driven.

Sacramento area drivers win at the 49th annual running of Rolex 24 at Daytona

2011-02-10T00:45:00.000-08:00

The Rolex 24 at Daytona is an annual 24-hour endurance race run in Florida on a 3.56 mile combined road course. It is the first major automobile race in the USA each year.

On January 30, 2011, Sacramento area drivers Scott Pruett and Joey Hand, along with co-drivers Memo Rojas and Graham Rahal captured the 49th Rolex 24 title and the much coveted stainless steel Rolex Daytona Cosmograph trophy watches. Scott Pruett drove the final leg in the #01 Target-TELMEX and held off Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon in the #02 TELMEX-Target, both Daytona Prototypes are BMW powered riding on Riley chassis. Dario Franchitti, Juan Pablo Montoya and Jamie McMurray shared driving duties in the #02 car. After a dramatic 2,560 miles at sprint pace, the gap between the 2 Ganassi cars at the end of the 24-hour race was a mere 2.07 seconds.

Adding to the 1-2 podium finish, Chip Ganassi became the only car owner to win the 4 biggest races in the USA during a 12-month period: the 2010 Daytona 500, the 2010 Indy 500, the 2010 Brickyard 400 and the 2011 Daytona 24.

Lexus LFA USD $375,000+

2010-10-22T20:20:00.000-07:00

Following the ISF, the LFA is Lexus' 2nd performance model. Production of a projected run of 500 vehicles has already begun with 150 slated for the North American market. With a base price of USD $375,000 it will be sold through a 2 year lease program to prevent owners from reselling the vehicle for a profit. Owners will also be selected by an application process that reviews their geographic location, other cars they currently own, and entertainment habits.

The LFA is powered by a 9,000 rpm 552 horsepower 72 degree 4.8 liter V-10 with a front mid-engine placement. The V-10 is rumored to weigh less than Lexus's own performance V-6. Like the ISF, Yamaha co-developed the engine cylinder heads and with 10 individual throttle bodies and high revs, it is tuned to sound like a Formula 1 engine. The frame and body is made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) with aluminum front and rear sub-frames.

On BBC's Top Gear program, the Stig lapped the LFA around the test track at 1:22.8 in the wet. That time slots somewhere between Porsche Carrera GT's 1:19.8 and Porsche Boxster Spyder's 1:24.9. For a sum of $375,000, I might order the following Porsches instead: a GT3 track toy, a Carrera GTS daily driver, and a Panamera Turbo family car. I will, however, miss that Formula 1 like sound...

McLaren F1

2010-10-12T23:18:00.000-07:00

McLaren F1 - still the fastest (naturally aspirated) production car in the world... record holder for more than 12 years!

The McLaren F1 was designed by Gordon Murray and manufactured by McLaren Automotive. It was the first production road car to use a complete carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque chassis structure. Between 1993 and 1998, only 106 examples were manufactured, of which 64 were the street version with a 1998 price tag of USD $970,000.

On March 31, 1998, the McLaren F1 set the record for the fastest production car in the world at 240 mph using a custom 627 hp 6.1 liter V-12 BMW engine. For a decade, it remained one of the fastest production cars ever made and only succeeded by the Koenigsegg CCR, Bugatti Veyron and the SCC Ultimate Aero TT. Those other cars, however, use forced induction to reach their top speeds. The McLaren F1 still remains as the fastest naturally aspirated production car in the world.

A unique feature of the F1 is its central driving position. The driver's seat is located in the middle of the car with a passenger seat slightly behind on either side of the driver. Few F1s were imported to the United States and even more rare to find one registered in California.

At the Gooding & Company 2010 Pebble Beach Auctions, this 1995 classic magnesium silver McLaren F1 chassis #62 sold for USD $3,575,000. It was purchased new by Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle for $1.4 million 15 years ago when Oracle was one of the sponsors of the McLaren's race team.

The Alfa Romeo Pandion Bertone at Pebble Beach

2010-10-02T09:13:00.000-07:00

Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A. was founded as A.L.F.A. on June 24, 1910 in Milan, Italy. Since February 2007, it has become part of Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. Celebrating Alfa’s 100 year anniversary, the Pandion Bertone is a tribute car based on the 8C Competizione designed by Stile Bertone. The Pandion Bertone shown at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance was one of 3 coachbuilt vehicles. The name Pandion is in reference to the genus, Pandion, the sole member of the family of Pandionidae. The name was given by Marie Jules Cesar Savigny, and is taken from a mythical Greek king Pandion.

The most eye catching feature of the Pandion Bertone is its doors, they open by rotating backwards to a full 90 degree upward, the whole side of the car is open from front fender to the rear fender.

Lamborghini Miura – the first M/R layout road car

2010-09-26T20:03:00.000-07:00

The Lamborghini Miura was styled by Bertone and produced between 1966 and 1972. Featuring a transversely mounted mid-engine, it was the first road car that started the trend of the mid-engine / rear drive layout for sports cars. The mid-engine layout has favorable weight distribution because the heaviest component is near the center of the vehicle which makes it easier and faster to turn the vehicle in a new direction. Vehicle stability and traction are naturally improved in a M/R layout car when turning, braking and accelerating.

At the Gooding & Company 2010 Pebble Beach Auctions, a 1971 Miura S sold for USD $535,500.

Jaguar XKSS

2010-09-24T16:44:00.000-07:00

The Jaguar XKSS was the road version of the Jaguar D-Type racing car with a 2010 value between USD $4 to $5 million. A dozen of the 16 surviving XKSS gathered at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to celebrate Jaguar's 75th birthday. The XKSS reunion was the first of its kind since their departure from the Browns Lane factory in Coventry, England in 1957.

Among the dozen was "The Green Rat", purchased in 1959 by Steve McQueen. The forest green XKSS had a customized interior by Kenny Howard, aka Von Dutch. Steve sold "The Green Rat" in 1969 but repurchased it in 1977 and had the car in his collection until his death in 1980. It now sits in the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

Valentino Balboni is "Mr. Lamborghini"

2010-09-22T17:41:00.000-07:00

At the age of 19, Valentino Balboni started working as a mechanic's apprentice for Lamborghini in the small township of Sant 'Agata Bolognese on April 21, 1968. Ferruccio Lamborghini, founder of the then 5 year old grand touring car company, eventually asked Valentino to test drive newly built cars and prototypes. Together with Bob Wallace, they were the test driving team of Lamborghini since 1973. Having witnessed it all and driven about 80% of all Lamborghinis ever built, Valentino is the most faithful and hard working company test driver Lamborghini will ever have in its history. After 40 years at Lamborghini, Valentino was forced into retirement in 2008 under Italian government work regulations. Although now officially retired as chief test driver, Valentino signed a 2 year contract with Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. as a consultant. Known as "Mr. Lamborghini" to aficionados, Valentino is the brand's ambassador and often appears at unveiling of new Lamborghini models and automotive events.

In July 2009, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. announced a special "Valentino Balboni edition" run of 250 Gallardos to pay tribute to Valentino in occasion of his retirement. Since Valentino preferred the balance and dynamics of a rear wheel drive vehicle, Gallardo's standard all wheel drive system was removed and a "2" instead of a "4" appears at the end of the model name. Along with other modifications, the "Valentino Balboni edition" LP550-2 beats the standard all wheel drive Gallardo in power to weight ratio by 0.4 lbs per horsepower.

On August 13, 2010, at the 25th Annual Concorso Italiano, the key to the city of Monterey, California was presented to Valentino by mayor Chuck Della Sala. Tom McDowell, President of Concorso Italiano said, “...we wanted to recognize Valentino's support of the city of Monterey and the many enthusiast events he attends as a Lamborghini brand representative with a special gift and unique honor.” Valentino joked upon receiving the key, "will this key get me out of jail for speeding?" Mayor Della Sala quickly responded, "not likely." Contrasting to the flamboyant nature of the company's products and his status as one of Italy's national icons, Valentino Balboni is a very humble and sincere individual.

Spyker Cars

2010-09-17T19:00:00.000-07:00

The original Spyker company was founded by brothers Jacobus and Hendrik-Jan Spijker in 1898. To better market the brand in foreign countries, in 1903 the 'ij' was changed into 'y'. Some Spyker innovations in 1903 worth mentioning include: the first car with a 6 cylinder engine, permanent four wheel drive, four wheel brakes, and a chassis fitted with a streamlined under tray that prevented the car from making dust on unpaved roads.

In 1999, Victor Muller and Maarten de Bruijn gave birth to the new Spyker family with the C8. On February 23, 2010, Spyker Cars closed the US$400 million deal to buy Saab Automobile from General Motors. Spyker and Saab now operate under the parent company Spyker Cars N.V.

Since 2005, the C8 has been for sale in the US market powered by Audi V8 engines with the following variations:

C8 Spyder
C8 Spyder T
C8 Spyder SWB
C8 Laviolette
C8 Laviolette LM85
C8 Double 12S
C8 Double 12R
C8 Spyder GT2-R
C8 Aileron
C8 Aileron Spyder

Movie trivia: in "War", Rouge (a character played by Jet Li) drove a C8 Spyder.

60th Annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

2010-09-05T09:16:00.000-07:00

Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2010.

Alfa Romeo, Pierce-Arrow, and Jaguar were the featured marques for the event which took place on Sunday, August 15, 2010 at the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links.

The Alfa Romeo Pandion concept car mesmerized thousands of people as it demonstrated the opening and closing of its 12 foot tall rear hinged doors which run down the entire side of the car. Designed by Stile Bertone, the Pandion is a tribute to Alfa Romeo’s 100 year anniversary.

12 of the 16 Jaguar XKSS ever produced reunited to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Jaguar. The XKSS was the road version of the D-Type and one of the 12 on display belonged to Steve McQueen.

Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Supercar at Pebble Beach

2010-08-22T12:28:00.000-07:00

On the 60th Anniversary of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Porsche surprised spectators by driving the 918 Spyder on Cypress Drive down to The Lodge at Pebble Beach, all on its own power.

After a glimpse of the hybrid supercar as it cruised by and dived into a massive sea of media and Porsche fans, all your other senses shut down automatically to better hear the glorious exhaust note of the V8. The unsuspecting would have concluded that a Le Mans prototype race car was among their midst, however, according 918 Spyder’s project leader, Dr. Gernot Döllner, the engine is a 3.4-liter V8 derived from the Audi parts bin. Add to that ingredient, not one but three electric motors totaling a combined 718 hp for a better power to weight ratio than the Carrera GT predecessor.

And you can plug it in to achieve an estimated 78 mpg!
