If you wanted the fastest accelerating production car in the world in 1985, your first port of call was Newport Pagnell.

This V8 volante is a fully functioning, ex..
The Maserati GranTurismo, and its convertible cousin the GranCabrio, entered production in 2007. Powered initially by the 4.2 litre Ferrari-derived V8 engine sitting in the Quattroporte V platform, the GranTurismo was famously developed in just nine months, a record that remains unbeaten to this day. The reason for this furious pace was that Ferrar..
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen, (or cross-country vehicle) uses two fully locking differentials and represents one of the few vehicles to have such a feature.

The sixth generation of the Porsche 911 was dubbed the 997 and introduced in 2005. It retained the previous model’s basic profile but drew on the 993 for detailing. In addition, the new headlights reverted to the original bug-eye design. The interior was similarly revised, with strong links to the earlier 911 interiors while at the same time looki..
