New Aston Martin Zagato special to be unveiled at Villa d’Este

Zagato has been known for creating beautiful cars, and once again the partnership between Zagato and Aston Martin comes together again. The first collaboration between the two companies started 40 years ago, starting with the DB4 GT, then the V8 Vantage Zagato, following with the DB7 Zagato and DB-AR1. Not much details were released, but without doubt it will be a spotlight star at Vila d’Este.

Car of the Day: Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0

Car of the Day: Scion FRS

Just released a few hours ago, the all new concept from Scion. Personally I would think that Scion would dilute the design from the other FT’s but turns out to be much better than anticipated. Can’t wait for the production version, hopefully at least 80% of the design from here will be carried over!

Now, the automaker Radical has unveiled the SR3 RS to celebrate its 10th anniversary. . Its list of features include a spares package for spares of normal and rain tires, trackday exhaust silencer (helpful when going to tracks with strict noise pollution regulations), gigantic vented disc brakes behind center-lock wheels, newly developed and highly aerodynamic diffuser, special gelcoat paint in red, yellow or orange , along with matte-black graphics for the “competition” look.

Godzilla of the 90’s: Nissan R34 GTR.

Often noted as the “Porsche Killer” and has set standards of aftermarket tuning pinnacle for years, as such proved from manufacturers such as HKS and Mine’s.

Car of the Day: BMW M3

I’ve always had a soft spot for M3’s, and the E46 is no exception. I love how the looks aren’t too bizzare but still intimidating, hinting from the front splitter, side grilles, rear diffuser, and other small details.

Finally, BMW has released the concept of the upcoming M5. Although the looks are slightly subtle in terms of the overall appearance, the small details such as the the shapely front bumper, the side grilles, and the integrated rear diffuser make it look queitly menacing, and the paintjob looks fantastic!
