MiniGT Honda S2000 – The REV-Monster FEATURETTE
Rev King from the Far East… With the Honda S2000 AP2, the Japanese manufacturer had a two-seater roadster with rear-wheel drive and plenty of racing technology on board in its range between 1999 and 2009. The Honda S2000 was a roadster with a classic design. The engine was housed under a long bonnet at the front. A narrow fabric hood protected the passengers from the weather when necessary but generally, the great sound of the engine was an invitation to drive with the top down. Very clean looking S2000 in so called “Laguna Blue Pearl” The Honda S2000 was powered by a two-litre in-line four-cylinder engine, which (thanks to the…

MiniGT Lancia Stratos HF Group 4 – A dominator FEATURETTE
When passion meets ambition… The Lancia Stratos HF is probably one of the most fascinating cars in automotive history. Its glass cockpit which could literally have been taken out of an aeroplane as well as its driving characteristics made the Stratos THE dominant rally monster of its time. By the regulations of the FIA, manufacturers were forced to produce several hundred road versions of their rally adaptation. Such a road legal homologation often took second priority for a car brand since they were only interested for victories in prestigious races. The limitation of the vehicles was thus also a value factor that was to pay off later… More than legendary…

LCD Pagani Huayra Roadster BC – Italy’s finest FEATURETTE
Champions League: 802 hp, over 1000 Nm of torque and a price tag of 3.2 million euros plus taxes: That’s the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, a piece of art which is limited to 40 units only! The Italian small-series manufacturer has been relying on AMG engines since 1999 and was celebrating a very special anniversary in 2019. The Zonda became 20 years old and has achieved cult status meanwhile. Prices for used Zonda now range somewhere between two and 15 million euros. (Provided an owner wants to part with it at all). Back in 2011 Pagani celebrated the launch of the second model, the Huayra. 100 coupés were built and…

Tarmacworks Pagani Zonda R / Revolucion – A piece of art FEATURETTE
Craftsmanship in absolute perfection: A perfect definition that seems to have been created for the Pagani car brand from Italy, but which certainly applies to the true-to-scale version by Tarmacworks. Both know their craft like no other. Since hardly any “normal mortal person” can afford the sinfully expensive original Pagani in his garage with its adjoining wine cellar, it makes sense to resort to the very detailed 1/64th scale reproductions from Tarmacworks. The now legendary non-street legal Pagani Zonda R is one of them. A true poem on four wheels, a masterpiece of engineering and mechanical finesse! The Pagani Zonda R Special Edition with full carbon body Loud, brute and…

Hot Wheels 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP500S – A MILESTONE FEATURETTE
Countach…a shout of excitement! An appropriate interpretation for the name of the Lamborghini Miura successor! The Countach broke all traditions with its aggressive and very angular design and was at the same time a symbolic design language figure of the 80ies! The hot outfit of the gull-winged flounder matched the driving performance even better: Even the very first LP400 model (1974-78) sprinted to 100 km/h in astonishing 5.4 seconds. A total number of 375 hp from a 4 litre V12 were absolute top values at that time! In 16 years of production, several model variations and performance upgrades were made until the final model called “25th Anniversary” has ended an…
