Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

Later this week the doors of the Javits Center in Manhattan will open its doors for the New York International Auto Show. Although the media day is still a few days away, we have received previews of various manufacturers over the weekend. In recent years the Big Apple show has hosted the introduction of a special edition Mustang and this year is no exception with the 540 bhp GT500KR. The limited to 1000 special edition model celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the original 'King of the Road', launched in New York in 1967. Big rival Chevrolet will focus on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with the introduction of now fewer than three global mini-car concepts. Customers can vote on a special internet site which one they want to see produced. One of these is the Trax Concept. Nissan and Inifiti look set to grab headlines with three major releases. The most interesting is no doubt the Infiniti G37 Coupe. As it names suggests it packs a 3.7 litre version of the familiar V6 engine and insiders except the highly anticipated Nissan Skyline to be based off the G37. Still using the 3.5 litre V6 is the updated 350Z of which the top of the line Nismo model will debut in New York. Joining the G37 on the Infiniti stand will be the EX Concept.
At last week's Paul Ricard tests many new cars made their first public and miles and today we would like to look at two of them. First up is the Courage LC70 AER, which will be used by the Works team. This year's 24 Hours of Le Mans race will be Courage's 25th and there is a good chance that the team will once again be among the top runners. A completely new addition to the endurance racing field was the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT2, prepared by the Danish Markland Racing team. It looks absolutely fabulous, but will need some more work to really be competitive against the seasoned machines.
