Lamborghini LM002 Special by Salvatore Diomante - 10 pictures

First up are a few pics of the silver/grey LM002 that, after Brunei and the UK, is now in Germany. For the first time we can have a good look at the passenger compartment. This Lamborghini seats no less than 7 people! Or 4 grown ups with 6 childeren. And all of that with the luxury of leather and walnut, colour tv, phone and bar.

Then there are three (official) photo's of a white LM002. This one is pretty much the same as the grey one, except for a raised roof. This time Diomante was asked to make an LM002 Estate in wich a person 170 cm tall can stand upright.

Lamborghini Diablo SE30 - 4 pictures

One of my favourite Lamborghini's in a fantastic white colour. The interior is of blue alcantara suede and a purple roof.

Aston Martin V8 Zagato - 3 pictures

The Italian coachbuilder created one of the greatest and truly most beautiful cars of all time with the DB4GT Zagato back in 1960. They say that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. But the lightning bolt that is Zagato, struck Newport Pagnell for a second time in 1986 with the brutal Vantage Zagato. Announced a year previously at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show, the eventual unveiling a year later and every one of the 50 production cars had been pre-sold to customers placing a £15,000 deposit for the £87,000 machine. The standard Vantage was at the time one of, if not the fastest cars in the world; by reducing the wheelbase, loosing the rear seats, tweaking the engine and fitting a new slippery body with flush fitting glass, the Zagato became the ultimate Aston.

Unfortunately, many were not overly impressed by the final styling of the new Zagato. One of the most controversial aspects of the design was the 'power bulge' which was so necessary to house the airbox for the massive Weber 48 IDA carbs bored out to 50mm. Although a flat bonnet was originally intended with a fuel injection system underneath, this would probably not have produced sufficient power to achieve the promised 300 kph top speed.

Text from: http://www.astonmartins.com/v8/v8_vantage_zagato.htm

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante - 1 picture

This is the 1986 Birmingham Motor Show car. What a stunner

With a maximum speed in excess of 160 mph, these were the fastest four seater convertible cars of their time. Indeed even a mid 90's Virage Volante couldn't keep up with one of these - although a 6.3 Volante would come close.

Aston Martin V8 Zagato Volante - 3 pictures

A Volante version made its debut at the 1987 Geneva Auto Show and was offered at an even more limited run of only 25, although a total of 37 were eventually made due to high demand. This is that 1987 Geneva Motorshow car. Interesting about this car is that it was in fact a conversion of a coupe and was built to full Vantage specification (so that means the 432 BHP 580X engine then).

Aston Martin Virage - 5 pictures

Aston Martin Virage Volante Special - 2 pictures

A black one next to the 6,3 Virage Volante. But I don't think it's just any Volante. The front end is special, almost like a 6,3 conversion front end, except for the lip. But the rear doesn't match that of a regular 6.3, nor the wheels or hood. The hood looks kinda like the Works coachbuilt Lightweight. :c

Aston Martin Virage Volante 6,3 - 15 pictures

Showing three different Virage Volante with the Works Service 6.3 upgrade: one blue one and two greenish cars.

Kingsley Riding-Felce, Service Division Director, said every effort had been made throughout not to lose the the standard Virage's flexibility and practicality. "We did not wish to end up with a massively-powerful and unsocial car which would be unsuitable for anything but motorways," he said. "With the 6.3 we have achieved our objective of a high-performance and yet still classic sports car which is eminently suitable for everyday use and a great pleasure to drive. Its handling and road holding are also of the highest order, yet here too the driver's and passenger's comfort has been important".

Suspension modifications include different spring and shock absorber ratings and revised roll bars and wishbone mountings, and 285 / 45 ZR Goodyear Eagle tyres are on special 18in alloy wheels. Bodywork changes include flared wheel arches and revised front spoiler, with a boot-lid spoiler option. The vented and drilled disc brakes are the largest fitted to a production car, and the calipers are Group C racing developed.

Aston Martin V8 Volante LWB Convertible - 2 pictures

Later Volante convertibles were built to the V8 Coupe's improved specification, and then in 1998 a further variation on the theme became available. Premiered at the London Motor Show in October, this was a long-wheelbase version of the Volante benefiting from a 200mm stretch that increased rear passenger leg room and luggage space. By the time production of Aston Martin's long running V8 finally ceased in 2000, just 64 of these last-of-the-line Volantes had been built compared with 234 of the standard shorter-wheelbase version.

Oke, there isn't such a thing, but it sounded nice for my first post in a rather long time. Two cars from the nineties and two from the new millenium, all black and all incredibly awesome.

Ferrari Enzo - 1 picture

I've been looking for this one for some years now and finally it has been captured on photo

If I'm correct this Enzo has, like three other cars from this update, a flat black paintjob.

It's hard to tell from the pics, if not impossible, but I've been told this MC12 is flat black as well. I don't think matte black, but just a non-metallic black.

Wow, the black MC12

It says also in the internet, that this MC12 is owned by Jay Kay? Don't know, what's the truth.

- AM update -

These photo's have been a long time coming. Most of them kindly provided by GTI WR6 some time ago and now finally in the gallery.

I don't have new information to post, but there are about two or three updates in this thread allready with info.

Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster - 10 pictures

Some better photo's of the one and only RHD Roadster. I still dig the colours :c

Mercedes-Benz S73 T AMG - 4 pictures

About 12 years old, but I prefer it over the SW's of today. This coachbuilt car by AMG looks good from every angle. The C140 nose fits it so well

Mercedes-Benz 600 HWA Landaulet - 2 pictures

One shot of it on jacks (AM is maintaining these cars ) and one under covers.

Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR SS - 6 pictures

These are the photo's from the official shoot. These will be the last shots of this car that I will add to the gallery for now, because there are so many of it in it's current state and location allready. The same goes for the other cars in this update. Allthough I'm still extremely interested in new photo's (esp. of the S73 T and the Roadster), the gallery is getting to full with alot of the same shots

For the people maintaining a registry: I can get the chassis and engine numbers of the coupe.. We've had a registry here once, but I think it's dead now

Sultan von Brunei in Paris, Plaza Athenee, MB S 600

[Shabooboo]

Ein Artikel auf der Seite von Auto Motor Sport --> KLICK

[schirmi]

"Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Al-Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Almarhum Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien"

Mich würde ja mal interessieren ob er seinen kompletten Namen auswendig kann

Aber ca 5000 Autos... das muss man sich erstmal verdeutlichen. Habe mal ein bisschen rumgerechnet:

Wenn er jeden Tag ein anderes Auto fährt braucht er 13,7 Jahre, bis er jedes seiner Fahrzeuge mal gefahren hat.

Oder anders gesehen müsste er jeden Tag 13,7 verschieden Autos fahren um sie alle einmal im Jahr bewegt zu haben.

Wollte er alle Autos an einem Tag bewegen dürfte er mit jedem nur gut 17 Sekunden fahren (vorrausgesetzt er schafft den Wechsel zwischen den Fahrzeugen in t=0 )

Gehen wir mal von einem Durchschnittspreis der Fahrzeuge von 100.000€ aus (dürfte vermutlich noch höher liegen), dann wären das bei 5000 Fahrzeugen eine halbe Milliarde Euro... in Dollar fast eine dreiviertel... wenn das denn mal langt.

Gehen wir bei den Autos mal von einer Durchschnittshöhe von 1,5m aus... dann hätten wir - übereinandergestapelt - einen Berg von 7500m Höhe... immerhin rund 2,5mal so hoch wie die Zugspitze.

Geht man von einem Durchschnittsgewicht von 1,5t pro Fahrzeug aus wären das insgesamt 7500t...

Wollte man das ganze in Güterwaggons (16m Standart, 60t Zuladung) verladen bräuchte man 125 Waggons... der Zug hätte also ohne Zugmaschine eine Länge von ziemlich genau 2km.

Das würde aber nur funktionieren, wenn man die Autos irgendwie da reinpresst (was ein Verbrechen ohnesgleichen wäre); denn geht man von einer durchschnittlichen Länge von 4,6m pro Fahrzeug aus käme man - aneinandergereiht - auf eine Fahrzeugschlange von 23km... was ungefähr der Strecke vom Münchner Marienplatz bis zum nördlichen Ende von Dachau entspricht.

Ferner könnte man mit den Autos sämtliche der rund 5000 Parkplätze in der kreisfreien Stadt Ansbach belegen...

Joa... ihr merkt vielleicht, dass mir grad n bisschen langweilig ist

Was ihn aber wohl regelmäßig zur Verzweiflung bringen dürfte sind die Tankstops...

Ich habe schon Probleme mir bei unseren 5 Autos zu merken welches den Tankdeckel auf welcher Seite hat... bei 5000 dürfte wohl jedesmal ein prüfender Blick aus dem Seitenfenster von nöten sein... und dann muss er noch drauf achten ob es denn jetzt ein Diesel oder ein Benziner ist.

[Forex CO]

Gehen wir bei den Autos mal von einer Durchschnittshöhe von 1,5m aus... dann hätten wir - übereinandergestapelt - einen Berg von 7500m Höhe... immerhin rund 2,5mal so hoch wie die Zugspitze.

Coole Berechnungen! Allerdings sprechen wir hier doch grossteils von Sportwagen, insofern denke ich, dass wir uns (ohne nachgerechnet zu haben) mit dem Matterhorn zufrieden geben müssen..

[gecko911 CO]

Witzige Rechnung.

Allerdings wird der Kamerad seine Autos sicher nicht selbst tanken müssen.

[Rodemarc]

Was in der Berechnung ebenfalls fehlt ist der Unterhalt wie Wartung und Versicherung.

Dürfte auch nicht gerade unerheblich sein.

[eikman]

Traurige und lieblose Bilderzusammenstellung von AMS!

Viele werden doppelt angezeigt (z.B Mythos oder Maroder).

Dann ein Mischmasch aus bekannten Pressefotos (ist ja noch in Ordnung), langweiligen Abbildungen aus Uraltautokatalogen und Fotos aus den Originalbrochüren der Hersteller.

Vielleicht bin ich etwas überempfindlich aber das "Durchklicken" der Bilder hat mich echt genervt. Ich kannte den Bericht zwar schon, habe ihn aber wahrscheinlich nicht ohne Grund wieder vergessen.Diese einmalige Zusammenstellung von herrlichen Fahrzeugen und besonderen Einzelanfertigungen verdient ein wenig mehr Zeit der Bilderrecherche und nicht diese lustlose Auflistung!

So, jetzt geht es mir besser !

Gruß
