Radical SR8LM Nurburgring Record
Here we go again. Yesterday we reported on the Nurburgring record claimed by Gumpert for the Apollo S, an extremely impressive 7:11.5. But we did mention – or rather said we’d better not mention – Radical’s time of 6:55 set a few years ago. Well, Radical have rather rubbed Gumpert’s face in it by turning […]
Gumpert Apollo S sets Nurburgring record +video
Every car maker on the planet seems to obsessed with breaking a Nurburgring record. And who can blame them. Every time a new claim comes in people like us write about it, and that gives them publicity that would cost a fortune to buy. Probably the biggest spat this year has been over the Nissan […]

The news from Nissan lately has been on the Nissan 370Z Yellow and on how two guys managed to buy the £60,000 Nissan GT-R using the UK Scrappage Scheme. But as we’ve reported on several occasions, Nissan has been storming the Nurburgring with its budget Supercar – the Nissan GT-R. And finally, that record breaking […]
Citroen GT (GTbyCitroen Concept) – in the flesh
At last year’s Motor Show in Paris, Citroen revealed the GTbyCitroen Concept – a futuristic looking Supercar Concept designed for the Gran Turismo 5 Video game. But such was the reaction to the Citroen GT Concept that within a short space of time Citroen had committed to a limited run production of the car. Which […]
