cars & life blogI managed to spot the legendary and very rare McLaren P1 GTR at Autosport International 2016 (NEC, Birmingham). I will not talk too much.
Before the photos here are some facts; McLaren P1 GTR can be bought only by the existing P1 owners, both P1 and P1 GTR are sold out, P1 GTR generate 1000 HP, ERS-style push-to-pass system and it is fast, really fast!
In case you missed the Autosport International 2016, here is what you have missed. The models at the Silverstone stand. The good old Silverstone circuit is still the best place in UK to enjoy the motorsports. So, don’t miss it.
Few minutes ago Autosport International 2016 finished at NEC Birmingham. This year was my fifth year at the Autosport International, so I decided to give a sneak preview of what happens when the show ends on Sunday night (High heels in the air)!
Standing (Walking + Running) on the stiletto heels for four days end up like this. Despite the long hour, glamour never ends!
Model? Lauren Ritchie. Heels? Kurt Geiger 6-inch heeled peep toes.

Autosport International 2016Â started today in NEC, Birmingham. I will directly jump to the subjects! This is what you will be missing, in case you skip this year’s show. Formula 1 cars! I don’t like to share links on my blog but in case you wish to click;
Ginetta Cars were at the Autosport International 2015 with two of their racing cars, G40 and G55, and models! The exciting aspect of the Ginetta is weight to power ratio. G40 and G55 are using the engines from different manufacturers and they do necessary revisions for the racing conditions. In addition, Ginetta cars are really really low weighted, consequently the acceleration figures are way beyond your expectations.
Also, this Ginetta revealed their fashion line. If you are not interested on their cars, you might be interested on their fashion line!
Porsche revealed the 911 Carrera GTS model during the Autosport International 2015. GTS is a proper driver’s car. You experience the Porsche 911 without any unnecessary extras and also, it is not extremely hard-core, so you spine will stay on piece. Personally, I really love any Porsche 911. But I appreciate the relatively hard-core models more! That’s why I was really excited with the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS during the Autosport International.
This Carrera 4 GTS was featuring the iconic 7-speed manual gearbox. As I don’t like manual gearboxes, I wasn’t excited that much. But offering 7-speed is an epic experience to see. That’s why you will see some artistic photos! Unfortunately, 7-speed manual gearbox makes the Carrera 4 GTS 0.2 (4.2) slower to reach 100 km/h. The double clutch one only needs 4 seconds to reach 100 km/h.
So go for the double clutch, because it matches the performance of the Carrera 4 GTS! GTS’s engine produces 430 HP from its 3.8-lt boxer engine with 440 nm of torque. and the top speed is 302 km/h for double clutch gearbox, just 2 km/h slower.
