Nurburgring: Das Movie

Posted 3 months ago in German, Supercar News

The Nurburgring is a big, epic circuit. Therefore any attempt to convert its bigness and epicness onto the silver screen must be equally big and epic. On the evidence of this trailer, it looks like the upcoming movie Titan, by French director Stephane Benini, might get rather close to conveying that bigness and epicness.

Posted 3 months ago in German, Supercar News

Things you need to know about the new GT3 RS. First, the gap between it and the cooking ‘997.2’ GT3 on which it is based is much bigger than it was between the first-generation 997 GT3 and GT3 RS. I’ve tried to think of a simpler way of saying that, but I can’t.

September Supercar Winner

Posted 4 months ago

Mr. Phillipe Becci-de-la-Riviere was the lucky winner of our September Supercar competition, and William Hindmarch, MD has just been over to Paris to hand him the keys. There was understandably considerable deliberation over which car he should choose, and initially he had set his heart on the Ferrari California. However, when it came to the crunch (we think Mrs Becci may have intervened!), he opted to take the stunning Bentley Continental GT instead.

William met him at the Bentley dealership in Neuilly, Paris where he picked up the 550 bhp supercar (anthracite with beluga interior), and its fair to say there were smiles all round! All at Best of the Best wish Mr. Becci every success with his amazing new Bentley!
