McLaren 650S crashed at 186 MPH. Driver survived
In Germany there are no speed limits on certain roadways. A guy and apparently his girlfriend went out on one of the No Speed Limit highways in his father’s McLaren 650S. He informed the Police that he had been driving at 186 MPH (in the left lane where there is no speed limit). He then lost control, swerving into the right lane and then into a crash barrier. His passenger was thrown out of the vehicle as her seatbelt snapped off. The driver survived. There was no mention of the Driver being severely injured.
Aside from the very sad of the loss of a life, this speaks well of the construction of the Mclaren 650S. The driver survived the 186 MPH crash. I highly doubt that would be the case with most regular cars out on the road even crashing at half the speed at which the McLaren had crashed.
I’m also rather amazed that the tires on the McLaren held up at such a high speed.
Click on this link to visit the Yahoo page to read the new article titled: “‘Millionaire’s son’ kills friend, 18, after crashing £257,000 McLaren supercar at 186mph“.
BTW, I am in no way suggesting that it is OK to drive any car on a public highway at such insanely high speeds. What if they had come upon a slower driving Porsche which was driving at say 100 Mph? The braking distance needed at 186 MPH would likely cause a high speed rear end crash. Try hammering on the brakes while traveling at 186MPH and controlling the car and praying that the tires do not melt or burst into flames.

$12.8 Million U.S. Dollar Bespoke Sweptail Rolls-Royce, could set a new World Record for the Most Expensive New Automobile
Video is courtesy of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars YouTube channel
I could wax eloquent about the new Rolls-Royce Bespoke Sweptail Motor Car. The custom built Rolls-Royce Bespoke Cars Sweptail apparently sold for 10 Million British Pounds or about 12.8 Million U.S. Dollars, which could set a new world record as being the Most Expensive New Automobile.

ROLLS-ROYCE ‘SWEPTAIL’ – THE REALISATION OF ONE CUSTOMER’S COACHBUILT DREAM
27 May 2017, Villa d’Este
When, approximately one year ago, Rolls-Royce presented 103EX to the world, it invoked its coachbuilding heritage to inspire its future clientele. This Vision Vehicle envisaged a world of completely personal luxury mobility where new technologies would allow every Rolls-Royce to be designed in their owners’ image, should they wish. Such a Rolls-Royce would represent the truest meaning of luxury – a personal, Bespoke motor car like no other for each individual commissioning patron.
The mere idea of a modern coachbuilt Rolls-Royce was not enough for one Rolls-Royce connoisseur however. This individual approached the marque with his own idea of a two-seat Rolls-Royce that he wanted to be created in the here and now. That motor car is here, now and is christened ‘Sweptail’. In a nod to the swept-tail of certain Rolls-Royces from the 1920s, admired by the client so much, he asked Rolls-Royce to reimagine this feature on his one-off motor car.
Photo of the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is courtesy of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
Presenting the car to the media at the Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este on Saturday 27th May 2017, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said, “Sweptail is a truly magnificent car. It exudes the romance of travel for its own sake, and immediately places ‘Sweptail’ in the pantheon of the world’s great intercontinental tourers. Rolls-Royce’s history as the world’s leading coachbuilder is at the very core of its identity as the world’s leading luxury brand. The arrival of 103EX shone a light on the future of Rolls-Royce in this field, and ‘Sweptail’ is proof, today, that Rolls-Royce is at the pinnacle of coachbuilding. We are listening carefully to our most special customers and assessing their interest in investing in similar, completely exclusive coachbuilt masterpieces. At the same time we are looking into the resources which will allow us to offer this unique service to these discerning patrons of luxury.”
Through this commission, Rolls-Royce has proven once again to be the world’s leading luxury goods provider.
Exotic Car Cruise gets impounded and towed away by the OPP near Barrie Ontario
Posted by Vincent Banial

About a dozen very expensive Exotic cars were traveling north of Toronto, along Highway 400 today (Sun April 02). The Exotic Car Cruise may have gotten competitive. People driving beat up normal cars called the Ontario Provincial Police via their Cell phones. The Police pulled the Exotic cars off the highway.
About 12 Exotic were impounded and hauled away, including models by Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari and also a Rolls Royce. The drivers were apparently charged with stunt driving and their Driver’s Licenses were suspended.
A few years back I shot the Gumball 3000 Rally when they made a rare visit to Yorkville, in Toronto. When they left town to get to Niagara, a number of Exotic Cars were apparently also impounded for seven days. Apparently, the drivers may have had a heavy foot. With no other cars in front of them, instinct I assume kicked in. Hard to complete the Gumball Rally when your car has been towed away. The Gumball 3000 Rally has stayed out of Canada since then.

Reignwood Hamilton Scotts apartments have an en-suite sky garage for his and hers Exotic cars
When you paid more than a couple of Million Dollars for your new Bugatti Veyron, the last thing that you want to do is leave it parked in an underground garage.
The following is not unheard of:
Thieves arriving with a Tow Truck, meticulous looking paperwork and even a fake Police escort, to Tow your new Exotic car away. They have a buyer, in some foreign country, for your specific Exotic car.
It’s nothing personal, they just want to steal your new Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.
The Reignwood Hamilton Scotts apartment building in Singapore has solved such a problem. Select units in the building have “en-suite sky garage space” for two Exotic cars.
The sky garage is right next to your living room. The wall separating the two areas is glass, so that you and your guests can admire your extremely expensive and rare Exotic cars. There is space for two autos – his and hers.
A special separate elevator brings your automobile up to your specific apartment unit.
Can’t wait for builders in Toronto, to incorporate this feature into their new Apartment High Rises.

Photos of the Auto Exotica which will be at the Canadian International AutoShow
This post is a continuation of the prior post. Two smaller posts load faster than one huge post.
Auto Exotica, a fan favourite attraction returns to the Canadian International AutoShow.
The world’s most exclusive automotive brands in the world have made Auto Exotica, presented by Castrol, one of the most popular attractions at the Canadian International AutoShow.
Pfaff Motors
1996 McLaren F1 GTR
Making its debut at a Canadian auto show, this car is a piece of motorsports history. It is the racing version of the McLaren F1 road car, which was for more than 20 years the world’s fastest production car and the first street car with a full carbon fibre chassis. Powered by a spectacular BMW V12, a shade more than 100 McLaren F1s were made. The most recent McLaren F1 sold at auction was a road car that fetched more than $13 million, making this the most expensive car at the 2016 AutoShow. The F1 GTR won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, and the car coming to Toronto placed third in the endurance race in 1995.
McLaren 570S
The first time a McLaren 570S has been seen at a Canadian auto show, it is at the top of the range. It is the ultimate sports car experience, with unique body styling, including the Sport Aero Pack with new rear diffuser, front splitter and side skirts and an even more driver-focused chassis.
McLaren 650S
Uncompromised design, luxury interior and innovative engineering, the McLaren 650S has pin-up poster looks to match its breathtaking performance. With a 3,400 cc twin turbo V8, it will reach a top speed of 333 kilometres per hour, and will crack 100 km/h in three seconds.
Grand Touring Autos
Bentley GT Speed Convertible
As the fastest Bentley convertible, the new Continental GT speed convertible is a worthy successor. Drive it with the hood down and a new dimension is revealed. You’re no longer an observer of the passing landscape but a part of it, with every aspect of your journey amplified in the open air.
Rolls Royce Wraith
Power, performance, prestige. Wraith is not only the most technologically advanced Rolls-Royce ever built, it is also the most powerful. This is a car for the curious, the confident and the bold. Outstanding performance is married with exuberant luxury, all delivered in a style that exudes a sense of glamour and poise. Every aspect of the car’s purposeful design creates an alluring sense of the noir and earns the enigmatic name, Wraith.
Rolls Royce Dawn
Inspired by the iconic Silver Dawn of the 1950s, the DAWN provides the perfect blend of sophistication and true freedom. Infused with a youthful spirit and vivacious energy, this inspiring motor car harnesses an exacting balance of power and possibility that heralds a brand new beginning. The strikingly elegant design of DAWN can transform perfectly to complement its environment. A single touch reveals expansive vistas and a world of infinite opportunities. Awaken your senses and experience what automotive writers worldwide have heralded as the “sexiest Rolls-Royce ever built.” The Dawn will only be at the AutoShow for Media Preview Day on February 11th.
Aston Martin DB9 GT
The Aston Martin DB9 GT is the most elegant expression of a sports gran touerer. Its DNA echoes the iconic DB GT models of its lineage. Enhanced power and subtle new touches highlight its famously seductive styling, making the DB9 GT the ultimate incarnation of DB9. It is the embodiment of faultless form and formidable function, the beating heart of Aston Martin.
Lamborghini Huracan Coupe
In this car, every detail in terms of technology innovation was designed to achieve one, single goal: to make you experience the real fun in driving. Specific driving mode calibration, developed to deliver the most entertaining driving experience. Dedicated steering setup, specific for improved agility.
Range Rover Sport SVR
Range Rover Sport truly justifies the ‘S’ in SUV. Taking the marque to another level, it is the most agile, dynamic and responsive Land Rover ever. Designed and engineered to meet the needs of today, it is equally at home in the city, the back of beyond or powering down to autobahn.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe R
The F-Type offers a range of supercharged engines to suit even the most power hungry. And now, for true sport car purists, an optional manual transmission that gives you more control than ever. Careful, all this power may go to your head.
Maserati
Ghibli S Q4
The exterior of the Maserati Ghibli S Q4 was envisioned to offer a unique marriage of elegance and sportscar verve, drawing on the best Maserati design tradition. The starting point for its sleek silhouette is the distinctive front end, defined by the prominent Maserati grille with concave vertical fillets. Powered by a 3.0L V6 that pumps out 404 horsepower, this sleek sports sedan is sure to turn heads.
Quattroporte S Q4
An automobile of extreme beauty, the Maserati Quattroporte S Q4 is an all-wheel drive beauty that possesses sleek and dynamic lines. The traditional Maserati grille, with its vertical slats, is a modern take on the GranTurismo’s front grille and those of other Maserati classics from the past. The eye is drawn over the imposing engine hood and new LED daytime-running lights, aesthetic details that reflect an elegant and forward-thinking design. This Quattroporte features exclusive Ermenegildo Zegna specially fashioned interior trim package. Designed in collaboration with the legendary Italian fashion brand, these silk interiors are specially outfitted and woven, much like a fine Italian suit.
GranTurismo MC
The refined design of the Maserati GranTurismo MC represents the ideal synthesis of aerodynamics and style. The marque’s distinctive radiator grill, prominently positioned between two distinctive headlamps, is topped by the long, carbon fiber engine hood with its aggressive central air intake and two side air vents, derived from those used on the race-track prepared GranTurismo MC Trofeo.
Pagani Huayra
Nicknamed “Ella”, the bright blue Pagani Huayra boasts a 730-horsepower hand-built AMG twin turbo V12, but also has the most exquisite custom luggage you will ever see. You may have seen this beauty in the Pfaff Motors cinema commercial, it features all of the latest updates including a new front splitter design.
Porsche 911
This classic Porsche is a Canadian auto show premier of a vehicle restored by Singer Vehicle Design. The Singer brand is a celebration of Porsche’s genius and each restoration begins with a customer’s car and repatriates the 911 chassis of the early ‘90’s with the most beautiful Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche coachwork from 1964. The goal is to preserve a moment in time for the owner and capture a snapshot of the air-cooled period of the Porsche 911. The final restoration, a work of pure craftsmanship, takes more than 4,000 hours to complete.
Tesla
Model S
Tesla’s advanced electric powertrain delivers exhilarating performance. Unlike a gasoline internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts, Tesla electric motors have only one moving piece: the rotor. As a result, Model S acceleration is instantaneous, silent and smooth. Step on the accelerator and in as little as 3.0 seconds Model S is traveling 100 km per hour, without hesitation, and without a drop of gasoline. Model S is an evolution in automobile engineering.
Ferrari
2016 Ferrari California T
The California T, while a masterful modernization of the 2008 California also retains every essence of the legendary Ferrari DNA. The new turbocharged Ferrari V8 engine, a result of painstaking craft and cutting edge innovation is now back at the heart of our latest piece of artistry. Capable of razor sharp responsiveness, blistering performance with an exhilarating soundtrack, backed by turbo technology, it is in every respect a classic Ferrari engine. The re-innovated California T is a car worthy of any automobile aficionado or a discerning client seeking a majestically comfortable daily drive.
1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS
The Dino 246 GT was an evolution of the Dino 206 GT, with a larger V6 engine and a wheelbase lengthened by 60 mm. With the sales of the Dino 246 GT stable, Ferrari looked to increase its popularity still further by introducing an open version. The 246 GTS made its debut at the 1972 Geneva Motor Show and reactions were immediately very positive. The styling retained the individual, attractive lines of the 264 GT, with the added advantage of a practical targa top for open-air driving.
Auto Exotica returns to the Canadian International AutoShow
Live the Dream with Auto Exotica
Fan favourite attraction returns to Canadian International AutoShow

DeLorean Motor Company is back
Low Volume Production of DeLorean Cars
For nearly five decades, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not distinguished between a company producing millions of cars and a small business making a few custom cars. NHTSA’s one-size-fits-all approach meant that these small companies were subject to the same regulations and paperwork burdens as the large automakers that mass-produce vehicles.
Photo of an original DeLorean DMC 12 Photo credit Vincent Banial
In December 2015, the language from the “Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act” (H.R. 2675) – which creates a reasonable regulatory structure allowing small companies to produce a limited number of completed replica motor vehicles that resemble the appearance of cars produced 25 years ago or more. – was inserted to the federal highway bill (H.R. 22) and signed into law.
The new law provides common-sense regulatory relief for small businesses that would otherwise be treated as if they were producing millions of cars. The companies are required to register with NHTSA and EPA, and file annual production reports. The replica vehicles will be subject to equipment standards, recalls and remedies.

The vehicles must meet current Clean Air Act standards for the model year in which they are produced. The new law allows the low volume vehicle manufacturer to meet the standards by installing an engine and emissions equipment produced by another automaker (GM, Ford, etc.) for a similar EPA-certified vehicle configuration or a crate engine that has been granted a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO). This reasonable regulatory reform will also spur innovation, including advances in alternative-fuel and green vehicle technologies.
In anticipation of this legislation, DeLorean Motor Company has been working for some time to identify a supplier for engines and other parts that must be reproduced to facilitate this production for 2017. A number of hurdles exist before production can begin, and we’re still early on in this process of determining the feasibility of moving forward.
Click on this line to sign up to the DeLorean Motor Company Mailing List. That way you will keep informed on this new exciting Exotic Car as production begins “again” on DeLoreans.
We would like to take a moment now, to welcome the DeLorean Motor Company “Back from the Future”. We wish you much success…

1,000 hp Supercar. Faraday Future presented their “FF ZERO1” all Electric Beauty to the world at CES 2016
Video is courtesy of the CNNMoney YouTube channel.
A 1,000 hp Electric Supercar is not something new, but it is very rare.
Rimac has a 1088hp Supercar which they have run on a track. It’s liquid cooled battery pack can get the Rimac Supercar to go from 0-to-60 mph in about 2.8 seconds. Precious few Exotic cars can do 0-to-60 mph in under 3 seconds. At normal highway speeds the Rimac can also cover a bit over 350 miles on a single charge. At the 190 Mph top speed your distance travel would be a fraction of that. At 190 mph I’d more concerned about having a tire blowout-melt from overheating that traveling a long distance.
Faraday Future made big splash at the 2016 CES show in Las Vegas. They unveiled their FFZERO1 “Concept” car. All Electric powered. Body and frame made from Carbon Fibre and composites. 1,000 hp from it’s four motors – one at each wheel. Racing Suspension. Drive by wire design. Room for one, the driver.
The FF ZERO1 is said to do 0-to-60 mph in under 3 seconds.
Faraday Future is positioning itself to compete with Tesla Motors. So far they have approx 400 very highly skilled employees. Essentially they are at the Design House stage. Creating and making a Production Electric Vehicle, is another story and a very expensive one.
