Now that the dust from Geneva has almost settled, it is time to look ahead at the coming weekend's auctions at Amelia Island. In particular the sale hosted by Gooding & Co., which once again includes some stellar machines. Our eye was particularly caught by the Toyota Eagle GTP Mk II, which is also referred to as the HF89. Designed by Dan Gurney's All American Racers ahead of the 1989 IMSA season, it replaced the production-inspired Celicas previously raced by AAR. It took some time for the team to adjust but eventually, the GTP racer proved a winner in the hands of Juan Manuel Fangio II. Late in 1991, it was replaced by the all-conquering GTP Mk III we featured late last year. The Toyota Eagle on offer this weekend is the most successful of the bunch.
An altogether different machine to cross the Gooding block is this Fiat 8V Vignale Coupe. One of just nine Coupe bodies built by Vignale for the lovely 8V chassis, chassis 000051 has been a class winner at Pebble Beach, beating seven other 8Vs.
As mentioned above, the dust has not quite settled and we continue our Geneva International Motor Show coverage we a renewed look at a few cars we had already featured before the show. Among them is the Ferrari 488 GTB. It is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine, which gives the 'baby Ferrari' the performance previously only reserved for limited production supercars. Another highly anticipated sports car was the Porsche Cayman GT4. With a 911-sourced engine mounted ahead of the front axle, the compact machine should be spectacular to drive as is also suggested by the first journalists to sample the GT4. Not surprisingly, a 'GT4' racing version will also be available to Porsche' customers in the near future.
