Ford finally came to the conclusion that it was necessary to launch a new version of the Ford GT. With the war of the supercars, the desire to regain the 24h of Le Mans and the technological advances of the American manufacturer, it was inevitable! It was this morning in Detroit that the veil was raised on the beast under the astonished glances of all the amateurs of the mythical model.

Aggressive silhouette, a few hereditary lines from its predecessor, a lot (a lot) of carbon fiber make the new Ford GT an improved model compared to the previous model. The engine: a V6 bi-turbo EcoBoost of 600hp. The purists will say that the V6 is a bottom check (that, and the transmission double clutch with 7 reports) and others will say that it is part of the evolution of the supercars.

The interior is modern. In 2005, it tried to recreate the entire interior of the original GT 40. In 2016, nothing will be kept. A more modern cockpit has been designed with the F1 style steering wheel controls. Production and price information is not yet available, but we believe the new GT will arrive in dealerships by mid-2016.

It goes without saying that Ferrari should be on his guard!

For 50 years of the Cobra 427, Shelby will produce 50 copies of a limited edition of the legendary roadster. It was in 1965 that Carroll Shelby produced the very first Shelby Cobra 427. According to Shelby American, Carroll Shelby would have approved the project (and some iterations) before his death in 2012. The first car will be auctioned by Barrett- Jackson on January 13th!

This limited edition will be available in two versions. A version with fiberglass body, Guardsman blue color with white strips and a version with brushed aluminum body (available with or without bands).

If you would like to get a copy of this emblem from American automotive history, prices start at $ 119,995 for the blue fiberglass model or $ 179,995 for the brushed aluminum body. The engine is sold separately!

You’ve probably seen Toyota advertisements claiming that Camry owners are “impulsive” people? And you are not quite convinced? Neither do I. Indeed, the chariot of “matante” par excellence has nothing to charm the impulsive people, and this, since always.

However, Toyota had a little surprise for the performance enthusiasts at the SEMA Show that was taking place in Las Vegas this week. A Camry acceleration of 850ch! And unlike the other cars of this famous exhibition, the creation of the Japanese manufacturer shows nothing in appearance to let appear his performances out of the ordinary. A “sleeper” in good and due form. Impulsivity comes from within. Played well Toyota!
