    Ultimatecarpage.com update (12-11-06)

    Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

    For the last four years now Bonham's Gstaad Ferrari auction has been our annual Christmas special and this year will be no exception. There is however a rather fundamental change for this years auction; for the first time in its history it will also include Maseratis. As a preview for the always breathtaking auction, we would like to take a look at the Maserati Tipo 63 Birdcage, which was raced by Briggs Cunningham's team at Le Mans in 1961. Like several of the other exceptionally rare Maserati racing cars included in the sale, it was part of the impressive Rosso Bianco Collection. This will be the first time any of them are available for many, many years.
    In recent years, Porsche has become a bigger player in the car market mainly due to the success of the Cayenne SUV. Next year a new generation of the Cayenne will be introduced. In good Porsche tradition, the design changes are minimal, but the complete engine range has received attention and the featured Turbo model now packs a 500 bhp engine. For purists, Porsche's entrance into this lucrative market is still a difficult subject and for them we have taken a closer look at the beautiful Porsche 908 Coupe prototype racer. Porsche's Cayman is also more to the purists liking and Techart have shoe-horned the 911's 380 bhp engine into the tight mid-engine layout to create the Cayman Widebody, which should give any naturally aspirated 911 a run for its money.
    Aston Martin and Touring's relationship in the early 1960s is a great example of how British engineering and Italian styling could complement each other very well. In today's update we have a much rarer, but even more stunning example in the form of the Ghia-bodied Jaguar XK120 Supersonic.
    At the NAIAS early next month two Japanese manufacturers will unveil some four door sedans; the latest generation of the Honda Accord and the Mitsubishi Lancer.

    Well there were only 3 made, so if one ever went for sale I'm sure its price would be very high indeed.

    Maserati Birdcage- My new favorite vintage racer, next to the Ferrari 250.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
