Weighing only 972 kg and with 700 hp on tap from its V8, it’s very possible that it will be fun to drive the Brabham BT62. Only 70 will be produced, and at a price of £1 million, very few will be able to confirm that.
Head over to Petroliciuos for more pics and facts.

Il Maestro drives the Alfa Romeo 158/159 “Alfetta”, one of the most gorgeous vintage F1 cars. Honestly, if F1 cars nowadays looked as good as this I would watch a race or two…
So far I’m not a great fan of electric cars, but I confess this looks really good:
According to Mercedes-Benz, the Silver Arrow EQ is a homage to the 1938 W125 Stromlinie. However, in my eyes it looks a LOT like Mercedes’ arch-rival at the time, the Auto Union Typ C Stromlinienwagon. Independent of which car is the homage for, the fact is the car looks great.
Without a doubt, I’m here today because of Steve McQueen’s “Le Mans”. I think I first watched it in 1976 or 77, and the film really marked me. It’s the sole reason why I love so much the 917K and why I like Porsches in general. And the same reason why Ferrari will never be my favorite brand – the 512S was not the “hero car” .
Mostly filmed during the 1970 Le Mans race and released in 1971, you just can’t compare the quality of the film to something modern. But back then, Michael Delaney’s crash really impressed the kid that I was:
Now I know that my beloved 917K was not harmed, since they used a Lola T70 GT Mk. III disguised as Delaney’s Porsche. Seems like even back then a 917K was much more expensive then a T70. But that film was what got me interested in race cars and Le Mans in general.
I don’t like gold cars. Heck, I don’t like gold in general. I always thought gold stuff looked tacky. So a golden 911? Heck no! Never!
Until I saw this…
Porsche created a brand new 993 Turbo S, with air-cooled boxer and all (it’s called Project Gold). It’ll be the only one, and I have to say it looks g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. Goldy gorgeous. Now let’s just hope Spark or Minichamps recreate it in 1:43.
Looks like it’s revelations day… Bugatti just revealed the Divo, their new hypercar. Based on the Chiron, it’s basically a stealth fighter with wings. And ice cool.
