Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

Today Porsche announced the most powerful production 911 to date; the 530 bhp 997 GT2. With its twin-turbo engine, carbon-ceramic brakes and a Nurburgring developed chassis, there are few cars that can rival the GT2. The German company has come a long way since they introduced turbo-charging over thirty years ago. There is no doubt that racing has greatly helped in developing the forced induction 911s and this week we take a look at one of these early racers; the 935/78. The featured example was the first twin-turbo 935 available for customers and served the likes of Toine Hezemans and John Fitzpatrick very well, scoring several World Championship victories in 1978, including the Daytona 24 Hours race. Late last week news hit our desk about an American version of the familiar Noble: the Rossion Q1. Powered by a 450 bhp twin-turbo V6 engine, it should hit the showrooms later this year.
One of the most amazing cars to hit the tracks in the last decade was no doubt the Toyota GT-One TS020, which was raced at Le Mans at 1998 and 1999. Although it never won a race, its ground breaking design by Andre de Cortanze has inspired every sports racing car designer since.
In the formative years of motoring, the various royal families in Europe were among the most prominent customers of luxurious vehicles. One of them was King Alphonso XIII of Spain, after whom Hispona Suiza even named a model after. He also owned the featured H6 Duvivier Tourer, which was the very first of the legendary Hispano Suiza H6 model delivered to a customer.
