ZA Car

Lamborghini’s latest ultra-mad all-about-the-numbers hypercar is a real hit. Despite a name we’ve poked fun at, it really is a mad piece of design – the way supercars should be. It’s also the car that was requested by ZA Car Show Twitter fan matt_stretch91, who qualified his request with “most insane tail pipes you’ll see in a while!”. We agree. So here, have a selection of badass photos from Flickr’s best photographers, of the 700hp, 8500RPM raging bull.

It was probably one of the most exciting weeks in the past year, not only because the Geneva Auto Salon was on, but because it was so full of exciting cars. Something which has been rather rare for the past two years. We discuss some of the cars that will get loads of airtime and some of those that wont…

• Lamborghini Aventador
• Rolls-Royce 102EX – silent as… er… well… an electric car.
• Fiat 500 Zagato Coupe.
• Alfa Romeo 4C.
• Toyota FT86 – the long awaited return of the ‘fun’ Toyota.
• Nürburgring Edition Lexus LFA.
• Schnitzer Z4 – a powerful diesel coupe that emits less carbon dioxide than the car it shares an engine with while still being more powerful.
• Brabus Widestar G-Wagon. Lunacy in a 39 year old off-roader.

(Choc) 99 is the name of the ice cream with the Cadbury’s Flake in it, but it’s also the number for the last episode before ZA Car Show hits the ton. ZA Car Show has been around for a little over two years now, having kicked off in September 2008 and it has culminated into what we have here. There is a lot more in-store for you with ZA Car Show 101, which will launch in 2011 refreshed with a new website and huge amounts of insight into the industry, car reviews and awesome stories that are not just regurgitated press releases.

This episode though, we had the pleasure of hosting Marc Webb from Langston Motorsports the official importers of Akrapovic automotive exhausts in South Africa; provided our kidneys were not pickled, we’d certainly be happy to give one up for one of these titanium beauties.

The episode also covers the new BMW 6-series and the  new Lamborghini V12 engine…

Alfa Romeo’s Giulietta

… and finally Patrick and Christo review Ford’s mean, green and manic Focus RS. Is it worth the half-bar asking price?
