Cars of the Week

Bentley Brooklands

Only 550 Brooklands will be build worldwide and I just happened to catch the tail-end of an Antique Gold example rolling down Hamilton Ave. At nearly twice the price of a Flying Spur, this is Bentley's top-of-the-line. This is the Bentley to have. Too bad they're all sold out.

Vitals:

Base Price: $348,085
Engine: 530 hp twin-turbo V8

Weight: 5,270 lbs

Lenght: 17 feet 9 inches
Top Speed: 184 mph

0-60: 5.0 seconds

1967 and 2007 Shelby GT500's

I'm not the biggest Mustang fan in the world, but put 500 horses under the hood it's suddenly become a very serious car. And a special one too. The Shelby GT500 was first introduce in 1967 and then resurected in 2007. I was lucky enough to see one of each in the same day, both white with blue La Mans stripes, just like in the pictures.

Lotus Elise

In my nine-minute walk back from Whole Foods, I happend to come across three seperate Lotus Elilses. What's their tagline? "The world's most affordable supercar."? Regardless, they will always be head-turners, especially when painted in blinding Solar Yellow. The other two were light and dark shades of silver.
