Rare Group B Porsche 911 headed for auction and latest news ...
Headlining this weekend's Broad Arrow Auctions Chattanooga Auction is this very rare Porsche 911 SC/RS. Built to compete in the Group B rally class, it was based on the 911 SC road car. Just 21 examples were produced to meet the homologation requirements for an evolution version of a production road car. It was 300 kg lighter and considerably more powerful than the road, the Group B version of the 911 was campaigned by the works-backed Prodrive team and also by several privateers. The consigned example was sold to a privateer and raced in the 1984 Tour de Corse. It was the car's only outing and accordingly, it has survived in highly original condition. Consigned by only its second private owner, '021' should sell for over $2.5 million.
This week, Rolls-Royce unveiled an evolution of the current generation Ghost. Known as the Series II, the V12-engined luxury limousine boasts a plethora of improvements. From the launch, it is also available in the Extended Wheelbase and Black Badge versions.
Starting with an Enyaq Coupe vRS production road car, Škoda Motorsport has created an all-electric racing car. Dubbed the Enyaq RS Race, it is a full 300 kg lighter and slightly lower than the road car but uses the same electric drivetrain. It was built to the regulations of the Rally2 category in which Škoda Motorsport currently competes with the Fabia Rally2.

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.
