It looks like Alfa Romeo are close to launching both the Alfa MiTo GTA and the Alfa Romeo 8C GTA as a celebration of their centenary. Through the early part of last year we were convinced Alfa Romeo were going to launch a halo version of that cracking little car the MiTo, and bring the GTA badge […]

New Porsche Cayenne – the Lumma CLR 550 GT version
Lumma has revealed the new Porsche Cayenne-based CLR 550 GT, offering extreme body modifications, huge wheels but no extra power. There’s something about the Porsche Cayenne that attracts the tuners and modders to lose the plot.
