just beautiful..... the ruby red roadster looks especially sweet.

They look even better in the magazine with the glossy finish ;) EVO really should publish all their photos they take or make posters of them.

Thanks TT....this is for sure one of the best issues of Evo ever. I haven't read any of the articles yet but I'm sure they'll be great. :D

[TT]

nd there is the F550 LM at Le Mans part still to com ;)

[dingo]

I´ll never get tired admiring the desing of that amazing machines although the rear end is a bit outrageous.

I like that article so much i just went out and bought the magazine.. :)

Ok, so which car is it that has killed 200?

"A certain performance icon from the 1980s has so far killed over 200 drivers and passengers as a result of its explosive power delivery and propensity to spin off into the scenery at high speed."

I'm guessing it comes from stuttgart and has the engine in the wrong end. What else could it be?? :?

Wondering the same thing as the guy above me...

Thanks for the great scan.

What a nice pictures!! :o Only a magazine like Evo could have pictures like this :wink:

This car has some details that I don't like, but has others that I simply love :o I think I don't like this car very much in silver, but in blue I love it. Too bad a big part are silver :?

I´m also guessing what car could be. I thinking in something more popular than a 911.
It would be the Renault 5 GTT? Or may be the Opel Kadett GSi 16V.

Wonderful article. Seems like a dream come true. Two fantastic cars pacing through Italy's beautiful mountain scenery :D

THX for the scans TT :D

Hmmm.. they don't really have a reputation for spinning though, thats the problem.

DAmn it, what are you thinking? I cannot believe that you are even suggesting those cars.... I really dont understand your logic....

Rob was on the right track. In fact, I think it was a reference to the Porsche Turbo 3.0 and especially the 3.3.
These where one of the earliest supercars to adopt turbo technology. Back then turbos did not gradually unfold their power, instead at a certain rev, they would kick in, like a mule. Unleashing its full potential instantly... Now imagine what the consequence was when this (the turbo kicking in)happened during a turn on a slippery/wet country road....
