And remember: This car is no good without a Samsonite Mclaren-Powered Luggage set.

My goodness, this is a fantastic looking car!

I must admit that over the past years I’ve become quite the Lamborghini fan, but this new 458 Italia could sway me…

Just look at it! Do it again…

One more time! Phew!

Oh my word, what a car!

And here they are, the first images and details about the new Noble M600 supercar…

Boasting generic supercar styling, the M600 is powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter Volvo V8. While it’s odd hearing “Volvo” and “supercar” in the same sentence, the M600 is anything but Volvo-like. Packing 650 bhp, the car accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.0 seconds, 0-100 mph in around 6.5 seconds, and tops out at 225 mph.

In order to get these insane performance figures, Noble had to build the M600 as light as possible. Weighing 1275 kg (2811 lbs), the car uses carbon-fiber body panels and a steel tube chassis.

Speaking of the chassis, the M600 has a 40/60 rear weight distribution for sporty handling. Other interesting touches include fixed-rate dampers, Alcon brakes (with iron discs and minimal servo assistance), and a fixed steering ratio.

“Designed to provide a pure and uncorrupted driving experience,” the M600 lacks typical safety features such as ESP and ABS brakes. While a traction control system is part of the package, it can be defeated by flicking a missile launch switch (from a Tornado fighter bomber) off.

The £200,000 (roughly R2.5m) M600 will go into production this fall, with deliveries set to begin in November. Take a look at our awesome Noble M600 Photo Gallery

It’s impossible for me to pass up any new Lamborghini, especially a rare rear wheel drive version! This upcoming Lambo supplies all of its 550 horses directly to the rear wheels, and should be a tad lighter thanks to the lack of a complicated all-wheel-drive system. And it’s gorgeous…

It has a beautiful gated shifter and typical Lamborghini dash-work is supplied, with alcantara throughout the interior. This special edition baby bull is officially named the Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni; for those unaware, Balboni is the fabled automaker’s greatest and most tenured testdriver and longtime confidant of Furruccio Lamborghini himself. A limited run of 250 will be produced.

I’m pretty sure Chris would upgrade his choice if this baby was available at the time of the SA Blog Boys and Their Dream Toys article.

If you missed the teaser and the photo gallery, then skip right ahead to this short and sweet video exposing the new one-77 up close! I think this is possibly the most beautiful car on earth (besides the lamborghini over here)

Spotted on A Cape Town Blog

Aston Martin says that the One-77 is “the ultimate creative interpretation of the renowned British marque.” With a price-tag said to be around the £1 million mark, the hand-built supercar is said to be very special. Special??? You could feed a small country for two weeks with a price tag like that.

Right and left-hand drive versions will be available, which means we’ll likely see Lolly Jackson or a random empowerment partner cruising the streets of Sandton very soon.
