What Makes the 1966 Shelby Cobra a True Muscle Car?
Many people who know about the 1966 Shelby Cobra learned it from the movie "Gone in Sixty Seconds," about a man, played by Nicolas Cage, who had to steal several collector cars in a 24 hour period, or be killed by a ruthless gangster.

Brilliant, immediate unstoppable traction in mud, also known as good horse sense, and farmer magic

Mansory Cormeum based on Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Tuner wraps the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in a new carbon shell that drops 90 kg in weight from the raging sports coupe
This is the Mansory Cormeum based on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
Designed and named by the tuner's owner and head designer Kourosh Mansory, the SLS gets wrapped in a complete carbon shell for a 90 kg weight-saving diet and a substantially revised look.
The body kit includes a new lightweight roof and wing doors, front skirt with large air inlets, widening fenders that extend the SLS by 66 mm at the front axle and 84 mm at the rear axle, as well as side skirts that make the sport coupe appear lower. At the back is a rear spoiler with carbon flaps and a race diffuser for additional downforce.
Engine tuning consists of increasing output to 660 PS (485 kW / 651 bhp) while a performance upgrade to 800 PS (588 kW / 789 bhp) is also in the works.
For the wheels are 9 x 20 inch rims at the front with 265/30R20 Michelin tires and 11 x 21 inchers at the back wrapped in 295/25R20 Michelins.
New springs and dampers lower the SLS AMG by 20 mm too.
On the inside Mansory does its luxuriating thing with a hand fitted soft leather finish with decorative stitching, carbon trim, of course, a newly designed center console and other touches such as the aluminum pedals and sport steering wheel with a full-sized airbag.
The name, Cormeum, comes from an operatic aria called Vide Cor meum composed by Patrick Cassidy and based on a sonnet in Dante's "La Vita Nuova".

Geneva 2011: 1,115bhp Koenigsegg Agera R
What makes a loud, shouty and obscenely powerful hypercar even better? Simples: make it louder, shoutier and even more obscenely powerful. This is the Agera ‘R'.
The one you see pictured above is a customer car (production number 83, since you asked), ready to make its debut at the Geneva motor show.
The car will sit alongside the production version of the ‘standard' Agera on Koenigsegg's stand, and sports a 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine chucking out around 1,115bhp when supping on bio-fuel. It weighs in at just 1,330kg, a Fat Man more than a Ford Fiesta.
This ‘R' version is liveried in a ‘Speed Racer' theme, special Michelin tyres and a Thule Roof Box.
We'll bring you more from Geneva as it drops, but for now, clickety click...
Want more Agera? Of course you do. Click below to find out what happened when TG met the new Swedish sensation...
Bug catcher: Koenigsegg Agera
Wiesmann Spyder Concept caught on Geneva show room floor
Following up from their previous prime catch, the sure-footed crew at Autogespot.com have also uncovered the Wiesmann Spyder Concept.
As previously announced the Wiesmann Spyder Concept is a feasibility study. If the responses is favorable the roadster could go into production as early as 2012.
Smaller than the MF4 Roadster, the Spyder concept attempts to be a traditional lightweight roadster, but while maintaining that retro Wiesmann look. It has no doors, roof or windscreen.
Stay tuned as further details will be released in less than 48 hours.
Video: Ferrari Four gets slidey
Official moving pictures of Ferrari’s latest V12 weapon taking on the elements…
The new Ferrari Four - or FF - laughs in the face of Mother Nature.
Snow, sun, sand or rain: nothing can penetrate the four-wheel-drive, four-seat shooting brake Fezza.
New footage of the FF doing its slidey thing in a variety of climes shows just how beautiful this thing actually looks away from studio images and in something called ‘World'.
There is some drifty oversteer goodness, together with the roar of a 6.2-litre, 660bhp V12. Enjoy.
Once you have enjoyed, click here for more pictures of the FF, and here to read TG's inside scoop.

Designer reimagines the E-Type Jag
Remodelling the E-Type Jag is like remodelling Joanna Lumley.
Yet somehow, Swedish designer Bo Zolland has risked blasphemy, a spell in the Tower and probably the Ghost of Enzo Ferrari to create the ‘Growler': how an E-Type Jaaaaag might look today. And it looks spiffing.
It's apparently based on an XKR complete with a 5.0-litre V8 tuned to produce around 600bhp. Then there's that bodystyle...mmmm.
Sure, it could do with a better name, but you have to admit, it's quite a design, no?
