DCM TOYOTA GT4586 – TOYOTARI FEATURETTE
“Slightly upgraded!” Instead of GT86, it is now called Toyota GT4586 – a combination of the names of both models. The car was exhibited at the SEMA 2016 tuning show in Las Vegas – without the bonnet, because logically it no longer fits. The 4.5-litre flat-plane V8 with 570 hp is significantly higher than the original 2.0-litre four-cylinder boxer (200 hp). Formula Drift driver Ryan Tuerck and his sponsor, the American additive and engine oil manufacturer Gumout, equipped a Toyota GT86 with a Ferrari V8 in 2017. Formula Drift, or Formula D for short, is a US-based motorsport drift series that has been held annually between April and October at…

Pop Race Singer Porsche – A reimagined FEATURETTE
Everything has its price! Certainly, $900,000 is not a special offer by definition. You have to put it in the appropriate context, and that context is here: Singer Porsche. Now we don’t know exactly how expensive it is to place an order at Singer itself. Judging by the fact that you have to go there first to describe your idea and risk rejection, it can’t be that cheap. There are rumours of prices beyond the millions. Even though the number of tuners of classic 911 models has risen steadily in recent years, Singer Vehicle Design from Los Angeles is still one of the big names on the scene. The Americans…

CMS, MiniGT, Tarmacworks, Kyosho Lancia Delta – A Racing Myth FEATURETTE
How it all started… The Lancia Delta S4 is one of the rare rally cars of the so-called Group B – and was even one of its most sophisticated examples. Although the era of Group B was extremely short, from 1982 to 1986, these four years were enough to anchor it forever in the annals of rallying. The reason is simple: the federations relaxed the regulations, suddenly almost everything was technically possible – and instead of 400 production cars, only 200 race cars were needed to be admitted to the WRC. For an evolution stage, i.e. an improvement of the car, you even needed only 20 production kits. CM Model…

CM Model McLaren P1 GTR – Tracktool FEATURETTE
Return of the GTR after 20 years… The first McLaren with the GTR designation was the McLaren F1 GTR, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995.

The GTR version of the McLaren P1 is not road legal, but it doesn’t need to be. All the better, you don’t have to worry about road legality with a 1:64 scale CM model! An absolute unique silhouette of the McLaren P1 GTR Owners of the McLaren…
