Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

Leading London classic car retailer Hexagon is proud to offer for sale an ultra-rare Porsche 911 ‘993’ RS Clubsport

  • Leading London classic car retailer Hexagon is proud to offer for sale an ultra-rare Porsche 911 ‘993’ RS Clubsport
  • The RS Clubsport is perhaps the purest version of the 993-generation Porsche 911, and with just 227 built it’s extremely rare, too
  • This pristine 1995 model year example is finished in Speed Yellow, with 18-inch ‘Speedline’ alloy wheels and black interior
  • For more information, please visit http://hexagonclassics.com/
Christmas has come early at leading London classic car retailer, Hexagon Classics, with the arrival of a very rare Porsche ‘993’ RS Clubsport. The immaculately presented 1995 model year car represents one of the most focused versions of perhaps the most desirable 911 of the last 20 years.
Not only does it feature an engine bored out to 3.8 litres – producing 300hp – but comforts such as rear seats, carpets, radio and power windows were removed to save weight. 

In their place were large aerodynamic wings, a welded roll cage and special racing seats, creating a roadgoing 911 bearing a striking resemblance to those normally found on a race track.
Finished in Speed Yellow with three-piece 18-inch ‘Speedline’ aluminium wheels this 1995 34,700-mile left-hand drive Clubsport features completely unblemished bodywork and a pristine black leather interior. The Speed Yellow theme continues into the interior, with the painted roll cage and matching seatbacks. For added comfort, air-conditioning and a radio were fitted, despite being deleted as standard.
Only 227 993 RS Clubsports were produced globally – Porsche made 1,014 examples of the 993 RS in total – and the Hexagon Classics example stands out as one of the finest. A much sought-after model produced for the German market, Hexagon Classics’ Clubsport has a full service history and will be sold with a fresh MoT and a 12-month warranty. 
Hexagon Classics Chairman Paul Michaels said: “The 911 RS models are the pinnacle of performance, and extremely sought-after by those in the know. This 993 Clubsport is an evolution of everything that RS stands for; more focused, more thrilling and more of the very essence of the Porsche 911. We’re privileged to have such a low-mileage example in stock, and there’s no doubting it could make quite the Christmas present for Porsche 911 collectors.”
Priced at £399,995, the Porsche 911 ‘993’ RS Clubsport is available to view now at Hexagon Classics’ flagship showroom in north London.

BMW adds a host of new colours to broaden the range of the BMW i8 Hybrid sports car.

  • Wide range of new and exciting BMW Individual paintwork colours now offered on the BMW i8
  • New addition of Black W-Spoke alloy wheels available as part of the programme
  • Available in the UK only
  • Priced from £5,495 and available at all BMW i Agents
BMW UK is extending its program of exterior paint finishes for the BMW i8 model with an extensive array of new colours. As part of the BMW Individual collection, customers will be able to choose from a multitude of extraordinary paint finishes which not only complements the BMW i8s styling but also reflects the personal style of the customer. 

The new colours include: Java Green, Speed Yellow, Solar Orange, Twilight Purple Pearl, Frozen Grey, Frozen Black, San Marino Blue and Grigio Telesto Pearl to name just a few.


A variety of finishes are available including non-metallic, metallic or Xirallic, which uses a mixture of synthetic mica or aluminium flakes to produce scintillating effects.


Even more striking is the matt finish of the frozen paintwork which has a unique shimmer, making the contours of the BMW i8 even more striking and underlining the sculptural character of the vehicle. The addition of the new BMW Individual paint programme for the BMW i8 follows the success of the early orders for the Protonic Red limited edition and is bespoke to the UK.

Commenting on the i8 BMW Individual Exterior Paint Programme, Richard Hudson, Sales Director for BMW UK, said: “The BMW i8 embodies the accomplished vision of a modern and sustainable sports car. The new paintwork colours not only complement the BMW i8s emotive styling and design, they also work harmoniously with the BMW i brand and provide customers with exclusive personalised options.”

With over 1,400 BMW i8s sold in the UK since the launch in 2014, the BMW i8 has gone from strength to strength, picking up many accolades along the way including Top Gear Car of the year in 2014, 2015 UK Car of the Year and World Green Car Award to name a few.

With its clever hybrid drivetrain, the i8 boasts an output of 362hp and can also cover up to 23 miles in electric only mode. It also takes BMW’s EfficientDynamics philosophy to a new high, posting emissions of just 49g/km and a combined consumption figure of 134.5mpg in the process.
