Very Lime Green F10 BMW M5 Looks Great

What we all think of the hot BMW M5 wrapped in this insanely bright green? It is very similar to the McLaren 650S in Mantis Green I showed you earlier and once again I love it. Think you may have noticed by now that I have a slight addiction to lime green/mantis green/verde ithaca. The BMW badge has also been given the green touch and I think the carbon rear diffuser looks properly good. Give the owner of this machine a follow on Instagram for more pics @theboomguy.

BMW M2 May Push 380HP And Be As Fast As Big Brothers M3 and M4

The most potent version of the new BMW 2-Series is the M235i which pushes out 322hp from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre engine but with the inevitable arrival of the M2, we can assume that this little monster will be packing close to 380hp. The new BMW M3 and M4 deliver 431hp and seeing that the 2-series is a lot smaller it may be just as fast, if not faster. Do not hold your breath though because a launch before 2016 is not likely.

Jaguar Announces Partnership With David Beckham

Top dog, David Bechkahm, has joined Jaguar as their brand ambassador the the Chinese Market. Jaguar feel this move will help support their forthcoming product launches in the Chinese market and I think this is a very good move. The partnership will entail Beckham featuring in some TV commercials and print adverts in China and I am quite sure he will be given a car (or two).

“I've always been an admirer of Jaguar – from the styling and design to the feel and roar of the engine, every element feels uniquely British. It’s an honour to support a brand with such an amazing heritage.” - Beckham

McLaren Cease 12C Production To Focus On New 650S

McLaren insisted that the new 650S would join their lineup in tandem with the 12C and will not be a replacement but now that we have seen the new McLaren 650S Coupe and Spider unveiled, I feel this is not true. Reports coming from the UK indicate that McLaren will continue to offer the older 12C to customers who order it, the company has actually already stopped production to get ready for the arrival of the new 650S. While this is not 100% confirmed, I am pretty confident that this is what has happened.

Rendering: Audi TTS Shooting Brake

This will not happen but the team over at X-Tomi Design thought it would be fun to see how it would look. To be honest it just looks like a Scirocco R?

Yellow Porsche 911 Carrera Stinger by TopCar Is Yes

This Stinger Package by TopCar is just the right amount of tuning in my opinion. At the front the bright yellow Porsche 991 Carrera gets a new bumper incorporating air intakes and a very sleek black splitter. It also gets new wing mirrors, aggressive side skirts and at the rear it gets a sexy new wing, diffuser and a new bumper with quad exhausts. Completing the transformation are some epic ADV.1 wheels and an overall ride lowering turns the understated looking sportscar into a tarmac hungry machine.

Epic Mantis Green McLaren 650S Spotted in Geneva

Did not take long for the brand new McLaren 650S to be spotted in the wild in an even wilder colour. This green (which is similar to Lamborghini's Verde Ithaca) is called Mantis Green and I think it looks absolutely awesome on this car. You will either love it or hate it. What you all think?

Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 Crashed Into Cliff in Hong Kong

I knew this day was coming but I was wishing it didn't. The first incident involving the epic Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50th Anniversario has occurred in Hong Kong and it hurts to look at the pictures. This bright yellow example lost control on a narrow road which caused it to crash into a cliff. The impact was significant enough to deploy the airbags but the damage does not look too bad. It will be a whack on the pocket to repair but this one is likely to make it back on to the road soon. To compound matters, it seems the car was delivered so recently that the passenger seat still had its protective plastic cover on!

Seat Leon Cupra 280 Is Faster Than E92 M3 Around 'The Ring'

Now this was a big surprise for me. Seat quietly set the records straight after smashing the Renault Megane RS Trophy's Ring time of 8:07.97 with an astonishing lap time of just 7:58.4. This not only makes it the fastest FWD production car around Nürburgring but it actually beats the epic V8 powered E92 BMW M3. They have managed to drop below the 8 minute barrier without fancy aero kits and this for me is astonishing. They made the announcement at the Geneva Motor Show where the president of Seat stated "Our ultimate expression of the successful Leon formula is the all new Leon Cupra. It is the fastest and the most powerful car we have ever built and yet is a comfortable family car. The Cupra is our new icon.”

You have the choice between three and five door models and if you opt for the Leon Cupra 280, you get a shopping 276 horses capable of hurtling you to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds. If you want to watch the record-setting lap then take a look at the video clip below.

Farewell #CarAndGirl

I have decided to pull the plug on the extension of Zero2Turbo known as #CarAndGirl for the following reasons;

• More time to focus on the real passion - CARS
• The direction I want Zero2Turbo to head does not include ladies posing with cars
• It was not generating the amount of traffic I thought it would

I know some of you will be disappointed but the reason you are following the website is because of the cars. Most of you who I have spoken to will agree that this is the best idea and I am happy with the decision that I have made. For those who still love seeing pics of gorgeous women posing with hot cars then go and follow us on Instagram @Zero2Turbo where I will still post pictures of #carandgirl
