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…

MiniGT Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport – A ROCKETSHIP FEATURETTE
A star was born! In early summer 2016, the car company based in Molsheim, France, left fans and supercar enthusiasts speechless with a very special announcement! Bugatti is launching a successor to the Veyron, which will eclipse everything with even more incredible performance data: 1500 hp, 440 km/h top speed and just over 2 seconds from zero to 100! Around 450 units were to be produced within three years. Its modernised 8-litre 16-cylinder W engine produced around 300 hp more than the aforementioned now legendary Chiron, which already broke records in its day. At that time at 2016, the basic price was over 2.65 million euros to place an order…

ERA CAR Nissan GTR R35 Simola – A Hillclimb Beast FEATURETTE
When Godzilla conquered South Africa… His appearance was announced with a lot of noise, dust and smoke: Godzilla, probably the most famous creature from the land of the rising sun! The one and only who came (this time) for a visit to South Africa for a certain mission: one last ultimate hunt! Not for fresh meat as you might expect at first glance, but rather to be on top of the timing sheet and become declared as „King of the Hill“. Nissan’s sharpest weapon has been nicknamed „Godzilla“ for quite some time now, due to the seemingly endless series of successes in circuit races in the 1990s with the legendary…

Tarmacworks Ferrari 488 GT3 BPGT Series 2018 – Special Edition FEATURETTE
A toast to its exclusivity! „It’s shiny, it’s special, it’s fast: Of course because it’s a Ferrari!“, a typical statement when it comes to evaluating the cars from Maranello in the heart of Italy. Except for the fast part as mentioned before, we can fully agree! The Ferrari 488 GT3 shone more with its eye-catching Singha livery than with victories on the race track during the Blancpain GT Series 2018. The strikingly beautiful yellow-blue-white Singha beer livery of the team TP 12 – Kessel Racing was the ideal reason for Tarmacworks (teamed up with IXO-models) to take up the cause and give this special model a try. The Special Edition…
