First Z/28 crushes new Mustang at Barrett-Jackson auction

The Scottsdale auctions are full of high-rollers making high-profile bids on classic and modern cars. As such, there was a ton of buzz circling the first retail 2015 Mustang and what it would ultimately sell for -- it ended up crossing the block at $350,000. But it was the first retail 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 that proved to be the dark horse at Barrett-Jackson.

VW Beetle GSR Limited Edition gets 207bhp

Volkswagen are launching a limited edition of the Beetle – the VW Beetle GSR – with yellow and black paint job and 207bhp. The Beetle GSR stays relatively faithful to the paint job on its granddad with the bonnet and boot of the GSR in black, as are the roof and mirrors, and there are yellow and black stripes with ‘GSR’ lettering on the sides, all setting off the yellow paint job and 19″ alloys completing the exterior. Oddly, despite the GSR paying tribute to its 1970s predecessor, you can also order your GSR in Platinum Grey or Black. Inside, the new GSR gets R-Line racing track sports seats with cloth upholstery and yellow stitching )although our Colonial cousins get full leather) and a leather steering wheel with the build number – 1 to 3,500 – on a badge on the wheel, R-Line dash, GSR gear stick, leather handbrake cover and black mats with yellow trim.

After all, it’s the size of the Albert Hall and not the most dynamic SUV on the planet.
