Lotus Motorsport presents the track-only Elise S Cup R

Track-only Lotus Elise S Cup R
Track-only Lotus Elise S Cup R

Hey Guys

Evolving from the 1.6 litre Elise platform, this is the first time the supercharged Elise S’ mid-mounted, transverse, 1.8 litre 2ZR-FE engine has been used in a Cup variant. Priced at £39,125 + VAT and boasting bespoke livery and aerodynamic body kit, the Elise S Cup R showcases the marriage of form and function perfectly so that performance is optimised yet retains its stylish and iconic aesthetic.

Performance is enhanced over the road-going Elise S thanks to a motorsport-specific engine control module (ECM) and a CFD proved aero pack comprising; front splitter, barge boards, winglets, rear diffuser, floor extensions and rear wing. Despite the extra body kit and race-ready additions, Lotus Motorsport manages to maintain the road car’s light weight of just 924 kg. These modifications and the clever manipulation of air-flow to create extra downforce, combined with adjustable damper and springs, reduces lap times by 4 seconds on a 5 km lap over the standard Elise S.

Drive Woman, Drive in Saudi Arabia! #SaudiWomantoDrive

Saudi Woman to Drive
Saudi Woman to Drive !

Hey Guys

For me as a female Car Addict I could never imagine that it wouldn't be "allowed" to have an interest in Cars and drive them by myself. Since Years and all over the World Woman are fighting for their rights and the "PRO equal pay"-debates here in Germany, Europe, .. seem so childish when it's about the human right to drive.

Did you know that Woman are not allowed to drive a car by themselves in Saudi Arabia, in 2013?

Hey Guys

An early Morning in the Fields between Germany and France with nothing than a Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 and a Camera. Having the Windows down and the volume up with "weird" Music, the smell of morning dew plays around my nose while my eyes are more and more awake. My foot pushes the pedal further and further down, always in search of the perfect photo location and the beautiful morning light. Endless Roads, the wind ruffled my hair and this kind of "Freedom"-Feeling which totally removes the chains from the mind. After about one hour and after a short sleep in the back I finally found the perfect Location, somewhere in the cross of the Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate and France.. Bonjour CLA!

How the future Audi RS3 Sedan might look like

Audi RS3 Sedan
Audi RS3 Sedan
Hey Guys

On autofilou.at I found some Renderings of an Audi RS3 Sedan this morning. But the Question is, does the already sporty-looking Audi A3 Sedan / Audi S3 Sedan really need an RS-version?

In my Opinion this Rendering bei Theophilius Chin looks like a mixture of the Audi A1 Clubsport and, for sure, a brave A3 Sedan. The Rims look anyway very sexy but the rear spoiler, well the rear spoiler seems a bit miss-placed but as Spoilers are normally used for a reason it hopefully fulfills the purpose.

Gallery: Mercedes-Benz B 250


Hey Guys

Can you remember, the former A- and B-Class have always had a certain "Granny"-Image but not just since the new A-Class and the new B-Class this Image is nearly gone. Also young Families start to find the B-Class attractive and so the B-Class now really is - attractive for young People.
With it's most powerful available engine the Mercedes-Benz B 250 features 211 hp - any more questions? Find my full review here soon ;)

#ADAMMilano - Opel ADAM Showroom in Milan


Hey Guys

Actually I wanted to create a post with some cool Pictures from #ADAMMilano, the temporarily Opel ADAM Showroom in Milan, Italy.

So I went to tagboard.com and searched for the Hashtag Opel told me ... and guess what ... I found NO SINGLE POST! Seriously?!

So I thought the Page would be probably not working as I'm accessing it with my slowed-down smartphone-hotspot ... So I sent out a Tweet with the Hashtag. WOHOOOO, Tagboard is working, so my #ADAMmilano Tweet is the only one. Awesome.

Then I went on Instagram to search for the #ADAMmilano Hashtag ... "no tags found" ... okay, maybe the ADAM is not that popular in Italy ...


And, at the end, can you imagine how I discovered the #ADAMmilano Showroom? Through Foursquare! Cool, eh!? Opel was posting a Tip to discover their showroom. And seems like no one did.

As I have no possibility to go to Milan just to search for this Showroom, is anyone out there in Milan and has already discovered it?
And took a Picture?
Would you be so kind to upload it anywhere you want with the Hashtag #ADAMmilano?

The ADAM & Milano Showroom is at Corso Garibaldi 51A ;-)
