Bugatti headed for auction and latest news ...
One of the early consignments of the Bonhams Les Grandes Marques a Monaco sale is this Bugatti Type 35B. Originally sold to a lawyer in The Netherlands, it has been in the same ownership for the last 47 years. The truly unique opportunity to acquire chassis 4888 should set you back €2 - €3 million.
Last week, Toyota Gazoo Racing unveiled the mighty GR Corolla. To a certain extent, it is the highly acclaimed GR Yaris in a Corolla suit. Power comes from a turbocharged, three-cylinder engine that is good for 300 hp. All this is fed to all four wheels. Sadly, the GR Corolla seems to be an American-market model only.
The R232 SL now has an entry-level model with the Mercedes-AMG SL 43. It is powered by a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine that produces a hefty 381 hp thanks to a F1-inspired electric turbocharger. Unlike the V8-engined versions, the SL 43 is rear-wheel drive only.
Just to build up further anticipation, Ferrari have released a further a sketch of the upcoming 296 GT3 competition car.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
