Halli Hello, I had already written a contribution to the R8 and informed myself a little bit. I have been playing a sports car for a long time with the idea to buy me a sports car. Now the question is in the room which brand? And which model? Well I had chosen 3 sports cars (each of 3 different brands). Once the Mclaren 570s, a Ferrari 458, or an Audi R8 V10 coupé. I would consider a financing with a down payment. I know in about wv of the R8 in the maintenance cost t. Now I ask you what the Ferrari and Mclaren costs. I prefer the Mclaren. Although I have the money, I would logically plan the purchase and the maintenance costs as sparingly as possible. I know that each of these vehicles has its own contras and pros, nevertheless I would be interested in what would be the cheapest in purchasing and handling in terms of maintenance. Would I be happy about tips and own experiences. I would like to thank sc. Honmal in advance MfG. Snoopy

Hello guys, I’m looking for a Lotus Super Seven as a replica !! As a replica for the reason that I want to install another engine sometime and I don’t want to “sacrifice” an original Seven I came across a Dutch dealer who offers three replicas under 6,000€. With the English V5C papers. This is the English vehicle letter or ? If the vehicle comes without or with repaired problems by the TÜV what costs me such a registration ? Get I would have the option since my friend’s stepfather is a Dutchman who registers the vehicle. Is that possible that he registers a vehicle with English papers in Holland and I drive it:-D ?

According to Wikipedia probably not. One can call the compact athletes, then it fits here to the forum. A work colleague is then always quite aggressive and refers to that the car of his son (GT86) is a sports car, but no hot-hatches can be called as such. Long-dynamic and IMHO even after lap times some hot-hatches should drive away this. Is there on motor talk a more suitable general forum for exchanging hot-hatches/compact athletes? BTW: Porsche Cayman S was a Tra up until the moment I sat in there. I was visiting the gym several times a week to get in there and push up. Luggage compartment and loading possibility anyway… Another 10 years and I land at Audi QS(2,3, 5) or Cupra Atteca & Co.

As soon as the old Montezemolo is gone, Marchionne clears up. The end of the legendary V8 and V12-acids has been decided. All future engines are forced to breathe by turbo or by electric-engine to become hybrids. See California T or La.http://blog.caranddriver.com/…/ Do you like it?

Hello together, I am currently looking for a vehicle for the track with ceramic brake system and I have stopped at the moment with these two, because these are also used in price in reasonable orders of magnitude. I have not yet driven the F-Type – especially as SVR with ceramic brake – on the race track and can of course only test it on public roads during a test drive. I know the AMG GT as S and R on the race track. An approx. 2-year-old SVR Cou Pé with ceramic brake system and ~15tkm you get for about 90,000,- Euro. For about the same money (+/- 5k) you get also a 4-year-old GT S coupé with ~25tkm and also the obligatory brake system. I do myself with the decision for one of these vehicles just a little difficult and therefore would like to get some input from the forum. Pro Jaguar – Younger car – With 575 hp more power than the GT S – 2 years warranty on the used (at Jaguar)Con Jaguar – Presumably height rer value loss than the AMGPro AMG – Presumably the better track vehicle thanks to excellent weight distribution and low center of gravity – optical for my taste more beautiful than the SVR and also looks fresher – if possible less value loss than the Jag – Identical 0-100 values for the Jag, but I have found the much more important elasticity values only for the AMG (https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/)Con AMG – Significantly older than the Jaguar – Early/first generation, possibly even children I plan to move the vehicle about 10-15x per year on the track, with a few sets of tires, of course, but at best I can keep the brake discs up to the next sale. When this will be exactly is difficult to estimate at the moment. I would expect something about 3-4 years of holding time but that ultimately depends on whether I can manage the car so regularly to b what is your opinion, what would you do? Thanks & VG Nico

I want to participate in Trackdays this year with my vehicle on the following race tracks.

Come from the area Pforzheim. So far I have only found the Pistenclub e.V.. Thank you in advance !

I spotted YouTube sports car legendary Shmee150 on the A6 near Mannheim – drove his AMG GT R Renntech and brought the green 911 GT3 in the formation flight https://youtu.be/VJR2Gwycc9I

Moin dear car friends, I’ve been looking at various sports cars since last year. I finally decided on a Huracan LP610. My question now is: What do you think will develop in value? I’m ready to spend about 190,000 € for a good used one. I think it will be the last production of Lamborghini that has a suction engine. I doubt that it will increase in value too. My question, however, is how it will develop in value. Wi e will be high about the loss of value after 3 years. Greetings!

In November 2014 I bought my F 355 with 512 TR engine conversion. It has the Fghnr. ZFFXR41B000108671 and was delivered on 6.5.1997 at Zender. Color: Rosso, upholstery: nero Equipment: ABS, El. window lifter, El. immobilizer, light metal rims, checkbook maintained, power steering, central locking, anti-lock system, sports suspension, immobilizer, power steering despite 512TR motor, central locking, no air conditioning! Complete conversion with 12 cylinder Testarossa 512TR motor and 5 Ga ng 512TR transmission at 55,182 Km stand from the company Dirk Küster Fahrzeugtechnik Düsseldorf, rear axle and braking system, adapted, control units and electronics adapted, modification cable harness and cockpit, sports exhaust system modified, everything entered in the papers!!! Service – and board folder original and complete! German vehicle with delivery at Maranello Motors GmbH in Cologne. A true masterpiece that only exists once in the world!” On 3.7.1998 was at 10,723km the 10,000km inspection at Maranello Motors in Cologne. Already on 15.9.1998 at 31.028km was the 30,000km inspection at Becker in Düsseldorf. Funny so many km in only 2.3 months….. On 30.10.1998 there was at 31.700km a new engine at Auto-Becker!!!! 2000-2001 the conversion took place at Dirk Küster in Düsseldorf. The 355 was widened at the rear by about 13cm very nice and conversion tank lid. The whole auxiliary frame with suspensions was rebuilt and adapted. The engine hood had to be completely changed and is a real work of art. Unfortunately, the stability is no longer there, because normal shock absorbers cannot be installed. Heating adjustment Warm/cold is only possible by hand at the front. So far no other solution in sight! Up to now the Ferrari had no handbrake and still Tüv…. The handbrake was retrofitted, the Mot or resealed and large inspection with timing belts etc., front grill after equipped and much more…. The client of the conversion was an older architect from Neuss. Conversion costs approx. 200,000€. He simply wanted a Ferrari where no one else has. Dirk Küster is supposed to live in South Africa by now. That sounds like a real 12 cylinder…https://www.youtube.com/watch?…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5TgFaNqpjA Current problems: Headlights despite cleaning the lenses and conversion on Philips x treme vision, the lamps are still too dark for me! I’m still worried about an engine jerking in the warm state. Maybe just a lambda probe or like my Ferrari screwdriver meant to be old fuel in the tank! With the current shell seats I don’t get a new tuv. I had my car transport trailer widened in the back that my F512GTB now fits and can be transported forward. I have now finally found a few small ramps in order to get there without The mounted Good Year Eagle F1 tires I would like to renew despite good profile, since from 2008. Which tires can you recommend me? LG Tim

Now I have been able to call many cars my own. With over the years more and more performance Civic (75hp) -> CRX (160hp) -> S2000 (241hp) -> 3er (306hp, then tuning on 360hp) -> 5er (321hp) -> Shelby (671hp) -> Shelby ( Tuning on 730hp). It’s always the same thing. I’m always excited about the extra performance. I have fun and joy at the increase in performance. The new car is really in a mood. But after 2-3 months it seems like I’ve been looking forward to the performance. Somehow there’s no thrill anymore and I want more performance again, because the car doesn’t seem to me as fast as I had it new anymore. Is it possible for you? Can you get used to performance and it gets boring then???? From when is enough performance sometimes permanent enough???
