One Lap of the Web: Happy (belated) birthday, Sir Jack Brabham

-- At the upcoming World's Greatest Sports Coupes exhibit, which opens April 10, the Petersen asked some well-known celebrities to pick their finest "two-seat, fixed-roof high performance car of all time," many of which they happen to own. Personally, we would have gone with the 1979 Ford Mustang, the Toyota Hilux Surf SSR Limited, or the Deathmobile from "Animal House." -- Quick, name a Japanese car that was designed by Italians. OK, the Isuzu Piazza.

Noble M600 arrives

Noble has released details of the 650bhp Noble M600 I think this is what is called ‘Going up-market’. The M600 is going to cost in the region of £200,00, which is a rather large chunk of change more than you’ve had to pay for any Noble to date. Which does tend to suggest that either Noble has lost its marbles, or the M600 offers rather more than previous Nobles.

Gemballa Mirage GT Matt

The Gemballa Mirage GT Matt I’ve said it before, but there has to come a point when Gemballa run out of Porsche Carrera GTs to play with. Only 1270 Carrera GTs were ever made, and I swear Uwe Gemballa and his team have built that many different versions! The Gemballa Mirage GT comes in Matt finish paint – Black with Silver detail.
