Prodrive has developed a new way to design competition cars, and according to them it can drop development costs by 50 per cent. You should go to the HQ. We did, and it’s great. Then buy a car. And do massive jumps in it. 

Ferrari has just unveiled its display for the annual Royal Institute of British Architect’s Regent Street Windows Project. That’s posh talk for doing up the shop front. Although we reckon it should just bung Steve McQueen’s 275 GTB4 in there instead.

Messer’s new Turbo-Fan wheels. Coming soon to a curb near you.

Earlier this week, we showed you a 1976 Broadspeed Jaguar XJ12 for sale. Here’s another. WARNING may cause involuntary noises. 

RM Auctions is selling this 1941 Chrysler Newport Indianapolis 500 Pacemaker by LeBaron on April 27 in Texas. Someone should buy it. It’s only $1m.
