Land Rover DC100 Sport (2011) at Frankfurt motor show

Bring a Trailer exclusive: 1970 BMW 2800CS

There's nothing like a little vintage kink courtesy of Herr Hofmeister to make Thursday a little brighter, particularly when it's blended with the low beltline and tall greenhouse of a gorgeous 1970 BMW 2800CS.

Tunnels get F1 ace Räikkönen buzzing

FERRARI's Formula One aces Fernando Alonso and Kimi Räikkönen put pleasure before business at the Belgian Grand Prix weekend, taking to a specially-made track in a hyper-exclusive 458 Speciale in a test of driving excitement. The stars travelled down the road from the famous Spa circuit to an event hosted by Shell, Ferrari's fuels and lubricants partner, where a 1.2km circuit built for excitement had been put together, featuring a tunnel full of laser lighting, a simulated winter corner with authentic whirling snow, and an F1-style starting grid. The tunnel flicked Kimi's switch more than any other part of the track, with the telemetry showing a spike in excitement levels as he hit the power through the multi-coloured lasers and smoke.
