Porsche 918 Spyder Fulfills Road Test Expectations

---

The first road tests of the Porsche`s new performance hybrid have proved fruitful. Being one digit on from the iconic Porsche 917 racing car means that it has some huge shoes to fill. Not only did the 917 manage a consecutive victory at Le Mans in 1970 and 1971 but it is also considered by many as the greatest racing car in history. Built in its image, the prototype 918 Spyder (which is due to go on sale in September 2013) has made a great first impression while out in its test mule-clothing and Porsche reckons that it can uphold statistical claims. Housing a 4.6-litre V8 with a whopping 570bhp and an additional 170bhp from two electric motors gives it combined power of 770bhp. Thanks to the hybrid technology it can also return 78mpg.

Say It With Gold: Mercedes AMG Fleet At Cannes Film Festival

---

The most prestigious offering at Cannes Film Festival used to be the golden palm award but we think that directors might be wanting to take one of these gold-coloured Mercedes AMG models home with them as well. To further tease the issue AMG will be offering guests a `Driving Performance experience and various models will be available to text drive along the French Riviera. Another PR opportunity which also boosts awareness for a good cause will be the launch of their gold SL 65 AMG 45th Anniversary Edition at the Cinema Against AIDS Gala on May 24th.

Mini Rocketman Refuses To Die

---

Despite Mini saying it will not build the miniature Rocketman due to finacial reasons they are still keeping the idea of it very much alive. Recently the Rocketman was spied in London doing a video shoot and was painted in patriotic red, white and blue. Now we know parent company, BMW are sponsoring the 2012 London Olympics so maybe they have a surprise announcement awaiting us? Perhaps they will officially launch the Rocketman and commit to build it in limited numbers after all? The concept already has the British Union Jack illuminated on its full-surface glass roof and the light weight four-seater which measures about 3.419 meters in length would be an ideal mode of transport to zip in and out of busy traffic.

MX-5 Twins For Mazda and Alfa Romeo

---

Mazda and Alfa Romeo will be the new proud parents of a new generation of light weight rear-wheel drive roadsters based upon the MX-5. The two brands will be using the same embryo (so to speak) but will develop models with their own identity and style; they will also use different engines and gearboxes. Alfa Romeo promise to keep the bloodline of their breed prominent but feel that teaming up with the leader in the RWD compact market will boost profits and appeal. Both twins will be built at Mazda’s facility in Hiroshima, Japan but the next generation Mazda MX-5 will go on sale in 2014 and Alfa Romeo`s version a year later.

Amari Supercars Present Their Non-Wide Arch Range Rover Sport Windsor Edition

---

If you were smitten by last year`s Amari Range Rover Sport Windsor Edition but thought the wide wheel arches were a little too imposing then this one`s for you. Amari`s adjustments include a revised front bumper with wider facia, new rear bumper with deep diffuser, a larger rear spoiler, Daytime Running Lights and custom exhaust tips. We wonder whether the Queen will be treating herself to one for her Jubilee celebrations? The gold detailing would work very well with the crown, don`t you think, Ma`am?

Renault Dezir Becomes Alpine Sports Car: Leaked Images

---

Renault`s sub-brand `Alpine` has been dormant for almost twenty years but now it seems it could be revived. This leaked image appears to be the manufacturers own shot but Renault were not yet ready to announce the details and occasion that has brought it about. Much of the speculation points to the Alpine Sports car marking the 50th anniversary of the Alpine A110 which won the first World Rally Championship held in 1973. Five years later and the Renault-powered Alpine won the Le Mans 24 hour race. Two years ago the Renault Dezir concept surfaced and now the Alpine Sports Car concept is taking on its identity. The mid-engined 3.5-litre V6 with 400bhp and a kerb weight of 400bhp is due to be unveiled at the Monaco GP next Friday.

K-Tec Racing Add Performance To RenaultSport Clio 197 and 200 Models

---

The objective for these Renault tuning specialists was to give 197 and 200 owners additional low and mid-range engine performance from the Clio’s F4R 830 engine. The need for more torque and tractability are especially important to track-day enthusiasts who can now enjoy an extra 12lb ft of torque at 3600rpm and an additional 10 lb ft on between 5200-7500rpm. An extra 10bhp is also available at 5200rpm, and a 15bhp increase at 7000rpm. The rev limit is also raised to 7500rpm. Included in the £1366.80 price is a set of Cat Cam 402 high performance billet steel camshafts, a genuine Renault cam timing belt, a set of genuine Renault camshaft caps, installation by K-Tec Racing’s technicians and bespoke K-Tec Racing OBDII ECU remap. The performance package is also covered by the firm’s recently introduced 12 month / 30,000 mile supplementary warranty policy.
