CARS:

Take a Look at the Five Wildest Porsche Spoilers and Rear Wings

                             
After showing us the top five rarest Porsche factory models, the German automaker returns with a “Top 5 Series” episode on the five wildest spoilers and rear wings, essential to the aerodynamics and downforce on any car, but especially a sports car. Shot in the wind tunnel at the Development Center in Weissach, former race director Norbert Singer presents some of the most fascinating and iconic spoilers and rear wings to don the Porsche crest. Watch a Cayman GT4, 959, 911 Carrera RS 2.7, Panamera Turbo, and 935 Moby Dick get put through the paces in the tunnel above.

Aston Martin Unveils a Red Bull Racing Edition of the Vantage
While auto aficionados eagerly await more info on Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing’s potentially record-breaking hypercar, the two outfits have introduced a little something to tide fans over in the meantime: a special Red Bull Racing Edition of the Vantage. Available for both the V8 Vantage and V12 Vantage S from Aston Martin’s Q division, the customizable options include glossy or matte Mariana Blue and glossy Tungsten Silver colorways along with either red or yellow accents and carbon fiber applications throughout. Inside, the Red Bull Racing logo is embroidered on the headrest of each black leather seat while red contrast stitching pops across the interior. Buyers can even choose to have Red Bull Racing’s Daniel Ricciardo or Max Verstappen sign the vehicle’s inspection plaques. Finally, tech specs remain the same as usual as the cars come powered by either a 430-horsepower 4.7-liter V8 or a 565-horsepower 5.9-liter V12.

The engine, also found in a Lamborghini Huracan, brings the car from 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph. Customers will be offered a full bespoke experience.
CTO Antonio Casu said that “the development of the one-off was based on the know-how achieved in the designing of hundreds of cars in our 49-years history. To reach the timing target we applied the latest CAx and Simulation Technologies. Styling has been integrated since the very beginning with early engineering and production processes. All this allowed us to produce a state-of-the-art car in terms of performance and safety.”
