The best that happened this week involved a lot of Ford Mustangs and more importantly the revived Shelby Cobra Daytona. We also saw some great looking cars and special one-off tunings. A fast recapitulation will give you a glimpse of the most exclusive vehicles that were revealed for this five day long period.
Starting with Monday, we saw the birth of the new Lexus EX line-up and the most exclusive Lexus ES 300h hybrid. We always put an emphasis on the ecological side because it is important for us to contribute in these terms.
There you go: 2016 Lexus ES 300h that has joined a range of six Lexus hybrid models. For the 2016, Lexus ES 300h gets one-piece spindle grille framed by satin chrome. The car also receives standard LEDs, 17-inch alloys and L-shaped taillights. There are four exterior colors added to the palette, including Autumn Shimmer, Nightfall Mica, Caviar and Eminent White Pearl. Lexus Hybrid Drive system is what powers the car. It combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine with an electric motor and as a result it produces a combined power of 200 horses.
Tuesday was characterized with impressive debuts, but the most important one is this of Toyota 86 GT Yellow Limited. The car will be produced for the Japanese market only. The exterior of the Toyota 86 GT Yellow Limited has been made so exuberant due to the application of the special Sunrise Yellow exterior color. It has been contrasted with black mirrors and black 17-inch alloys. The interior was also decided in those two contrasting colors. However, the black here is the main one, used for the Alcantara upholstery, while the Ashirai yellow was utilized for the stitching. The special edition vehicle also receives two versatile packs, which make it even more distinguishable.
Did you saw McLaren’s 675LT dynamic debut on Wednesday? If you didn’t now it is time to do it, because it was spectacular! The exhilarating performance of the car is due to the powerful 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine producing 675PS. It is also responsible for the mighty sound you hear in the video. Well, here also helps the titanium crossover exhaust.
Thursday was so abundant of Ford Mustangs, that we actually wonder which one to feature here. The most important however, is probably the Ford Apollo Edition Mustang, which will be sold via auction at the Gathering of Eagles charity event on July 23. The proceeds will be invested in EAA youth education programs, that since 1992 provided free flights for almost 2 million young people. This means, that about 2 million people were living their own dreams of flying. How cool is that? And it is a nice way for Ford to contribute for this cause.
At last, yesterday was the day we saw the rebirth of Shelby Cobra Daytona Anniversary Edition. The limited edition series is a continuation of Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupes. They will be produced in only 50 examples. To build them the experts will use either aluminum or fiberglass. The cars will have its premiere in August at Gordon McCall’s Motorworks Revival. Then they will be on display at Rolex Motorsports Reunion inside Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca. An aluminum variant will be available for the sights of the visitors at Goodwood Revival in the United Kingdom as well.
Scion and what should we expect in 2016
BMW 3 320d ED Sport will be offered with two trim levels and numerous optional goodies
2016 Mazda CX-3 is the latest vehicle segment, that the well-known brand unveiled. As you know, these kind vehicles don’t come so often, so Mazda took the chance to show its latest subcompact crossover vehicle, especially created to deliver pleasurable and safe driving. So, let’s check it out.
Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe Series is going to be produced in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Shelby’s FIA World Championship. The limited edition series is a continuation of Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupes. They will be produced in only 50 examples. To build them the experts will use either aluminum or fiberglass. Both will make an official world premiere in California this August.
Loder1899 Ford Mustang is here to show how good things don’t need a lot to become even better. Unlike Kahn’s Land Rover Defender, the pony car received only minor modifications. In fact, there is a lot of work currently going on this project, but I will discuss this a little bit later. Now, take a look at the pictures below and find out what has happened to this beautiful Mustang. Then come back and check out what the experts have done.
Kahn Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cab Pick Up is this week’s offer by the famous British tuning company. The beautiful Defender is dressed in stylish Corris Grey exterior color and features a lot of styling tweaks that capture the attention. Abundantly modified, this Land Rover is an example for a good improvement when it comes to tuning.
2015 Ford F-150 is definitely one of our favorite light-duty trucks. And now it comes with even more upgrades, especially made to bring even more aerodynamic features. Ford incorporated a special air curtain technology, which first was shown with the latest Ford Mustang. The technology itself allows air to flow through a special vent underneath the headlamps and go out around the wheels. This will help some smoother air movement and will improve the driving experience. Or at least it is expected to do it.
BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition was released back in October last year. If you remember well, then you should also know that this car was released to pay tribute to the DTM Champion Marco Wittmann. The car was released in 23 units only, which number isn’t coincidental but inspired by the number 23 on Marco’s championship winning racecar.
Ford Mustang can now be seen by multiple angles with a special interactive video, that enable everyone to experience what it is to drive such a vehicle around the legendary Silverstone track in UK. The vide is shot with a Mustang fastback vehicle, geared with 5.0-liter V8 engine. But the interesting part is that viewers can rotate the camera in order to find that sweet spot for getting unmatched feeling of the vehicle in action. And maybe one of the coolest features is that, you can switch to helicopter view and front bumper view. How cool is that?
Hamann BMW M6 F13 Mirr6r by fostla.de is a project which involves not one but two tuning companies. This may sound a little bit flamboyant to you, but just take a look at the pictures in our gallery and you will find out how beautiful this car looks. Not to repeat that this is a BMW M6.
Ford Motor Company, for the eight straight year created one of a kind, aviation-inspired Ford Mustang vehicle to help the Experimental Aircraft Association youth education programs, that also include the Young Eagles. The vehicle is called Apollo Edition Mustang (you didn’t expect that, did you?) and will be sold via auction at the Gathering of Eagles charity event on July 23. And the collected sum will be invested in EAA youth education programs, that since 1992 provided free flights for almost 2 million young people. This means, that about 2 million people were living their own dreams of flying. How cool is that?
