Longtime Ferrari competition partner Michelotto's first major foray with the Italian manufacturer was the conversion of the 308 GTB into a Group 4 rally car. It was quite successful and so not surprisingly customers asked the specialist company to follow up with a 308 GTB that complied with the new Group B regulations. Only four examples of this relatively standard machine were constructed based on existing fibreglass bodied 308 GTB road cars. Although rarely seen in international rallies, the Group B 308 GTB proved very useful in national events, winning the Sicilian and Spanish rally championships. Of the four examples we captured one at the two most recent Tour Autos, while a sister car will be offered at auction by Bonhams at this weekend's Spa Classic sale. Both are featured in our 28-shot gallery.
Audi will debut all-new laser high beam headlights at the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans and to mark the occasion will also produce the limited edition R8 LMX road car. Powered by a 560 hp version of the familiar V10 engine, it also features the laser high beam lights that will be used at Le Mans. Just 99 examples will be produced and in Germany the Audi R8 LMX has a price tag of EUR 210,000.
This weekend, we roamed around Monaco for the biennial Historic Grand Prix and are now hard at work to create an all encompassing report and gallery. It should be ready on Wednesday, so keep an eye on the Ultimatecarpage.com main page.
