Tarmacworks Pagani Huayra R – A revolutionary FEATURETTE
Beyond the limits! Another Pagani which is exclusively developed for the race track: With the Huayra R, the Italian sports car brand presents, in its own words, the “most extreme Pagani of all time”. Just like the Zonda R shown in 2009, the hardcore version of the Huayra is built only for the race track and comes with a completely newly developed engine, the Pagani V12-R. 850 hp and 750 Nm of maximum torque at a top speed while 9000 rpm meet a kerb weight of only 1050 kilos. The only components that have been taken over from the “normal” road-going Huayra are the exterior mirrors. Compared to the Huayra…

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…

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…
