Hi Clive
Sounds good but some us have to work[
]
I did see a certain Chris Evans coming out of an Aston service centre next to my office yesterday (thought he is a Fezza man?)_perhaps he is preparing for the Goodwood Revival this weekend, I'll see if I can spot him there .
Did see a rather stunning black new model Bugatti Veyron is being unveiled at Frankfurt-your challenge is to blag adrive in that[][]

Travelling to Germany tomorrow for a look over the Frankfurt Motor Show on Friday,
Got VIP invitations onto the Fezza and Porsche displays, but nothing from Aston Martin, so won't be buying one of those anytime soon! [
Anyone else there on Friday? [
Regards,
Clive.
Please can you find out the exact colour of the GT3 on the stand? The pictures look fantastic but i still can't work out if it is GT Silver or Rhodium Silver!!
Cheers
Sidicks
This Turbo 'S' looked pretty impressive on the restricted access stand (it wasn't down on the floor where the hoi polloi could appreciate it [])
Have to agree with Alex though, the black plastic air scoops and vents do nothing to improve the ambiance, but that nice man from Porsche told me they're working on that! [8|]

Aston Martin did eventually come up trumps with their stand pass and we spent a very pleasant ½ hour with a knowledgeable guy there with the latest Vantage S looking to be one most likely to interest Porsche fans.
Thought the Ferrari 458 Speciale impressive and will be wonderful to drive, but rather lacked the breath-taking first impressions created by its elder brother the 430 Scuderia, but with over 600 BHP, I wouldn't say no though if you were buying! []
However, the star for me was this:-
Carbon tub (just like the McLaren MP4 -12C), mid-mounted 240bhp 1.75-litre turbo petrol engine developing 350Nm of torque connected to Alfa's TCT twin-clutch gearbox and rear wheel drive. All for around £45K. Sounds like a whole lotta fun without parting with too much money. [8D]

I hear 895kg as well. What a car!!
The Cayman better watch out? - Think the 911 needs to watch it too.
4.5 secs to 60 and with a small engine road tax will be cheaper, stunning looking, and all for 45K, the only problem I can see is that its an Alfa - which means it will break down a lot, the electrics wont work and the car will be lighter at the end of each journey as it sheds parts whilst moving.
Great design though

If it helps, it is built by Maserati at their Modena factory. OK OK, I know what you're going to say

I doubt it will trouble the 911 though. There's a lot more to car choice than 0 to 60 times.
However, there are rumours that Maserati will produce their own version of the 4C; more powerful, possibly bigger, and intended as a 911 rival[:-]

How is it possible to make a CF tub at that price level? Astonishing (unless it's a loss leader for some other soon to be announced cheaper model?)
