Mercedes released details about SL 550

The new SL 550 doesn't cover any radical new ground, with the German company instead preferring to upgrade the engine and and a minor facelift. In fact if they aren't side by side, you can't really tell the difference. This should help prevent the major slide in values that Mercedes vehicles typically have with the launch of a new body style.
The new vehicle shares its drivetrain with the all new S class. Its 5.5 liter powerplant jumps 80 horsepower, to 382, and now has 391 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 52. Power is transferred to the rear wheels through their 7G-tronic 7-speed automatic transmission.

New Lotus Esprit info released

Autocar.com posted the following information:

This image shows how the next Esprit may look. The MSC (Mid-Engined Supercar) is undergoing crash testing and will be launched in early 2008. Engineering of the next Esprit is 'racing forward at speed' according to Lotus. Russell Carr, chief designer at Lotus, believes that the Esprit's footprint will be 'much more compact than that of the Lambo [the Gallardo] or the Ferrari [F430]'.Power is expected to come from a V8, perhaps sourced from BMW and equipped with twin turbos. This will probably be linked to a six-speed sequential transmission.The production estimate is 2500 cars a year of the aluminium or composite skinned car, which is crucial to Lotus, which is currently running its Hethel operation on a three-day week.

12 Hours of Sebring

The 2006 12 Hours of Sebring are further proof that Audi/Volkswagen is the greatest automobile engineering company in the world. They put their diesel LMP racecars on the pole and finished with one of the cars in the top podium spot. The only thing that would have made it perfect is that they had the other one in the garage at the checkered flag.

Corvette won its class against a daunting challenge by the Aston Martin DBR9s that bumped the second Vette from the podium in the final minutes of the race.

Porsche has to head back to the endurance drawing board, as the top spot in GT2 was stolen by the Panoz Esperante, which gave Panoz its first win, with the Ferrari 430 Challenge car finishing third. It was an emotional victory for the brand created by Dan Panoz, after years of near misses in the LMP category.

One of the greatest personal experiences for me was meeting both Don Panoz and Dan Panoz at the conclusion of the race. Also fun to hang out with some of the DuPont Registry "Cars and Coffee" crowd, as well.

My Ride in the Bugatti Veyron / Amelia Concours

Entire Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance was incredible. But greatest event for me was riding in 1005 Horsepower Bugatti Veyron. With a seasoned F1 driver at the wheel, we launched 0 to 110 to 0 MPH in less than a city block. What a rush...what a car...what an experience overall. The car is friendly enough that my wife could easily drive it, and so incredible that it carries the title of "fastest car in the world". Photos coming soon.

Ferrari 599 Fiorano launched - By Tom LaPointe

Ferrari launched its latest production vehicle at the 2006 Geneva Auto Show, the 599 GTB Fiorano. While the 612 was the target of a lot of design criticism, the replacement for the 575 Maranello is sleeker and has more balanced proportions. The newest horse in Ferrari’s stable makes copious use of aluminum, which keeps weight down and gives it a rigid body structure.

The Fiorano is powered by a 6.0 liter V12 derived from the Enzo supercar. The engine pumps out 620 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque through its rear wheels—Ferrari’s most powerful V12 of all time. Front and rear tire sizes are 19 and 20 inches, respectively, and the car will feature Ferrari’s full compliment of technological driving aids. Penned by Pininfarina, it is the latest in the line of front-engine V12 berlinettas that began with the 250 GT.

Expect a top speed of 190-ish, based on my estimates, and figure on pricing in the $300k range. Some of the design elements look somewhat Corvette-ish (or does the Vette emulate Maranello?), but the design is stunning.
