Altitude Dream Cars

A recent addition to the motorworks world is Devon Motorworks. Their design is something extraordinary and the engineering is superb. The attention to modern detail is extremely well thought out.

Enter, the Devon GTX Supercar. The GTX is about as cool as it gets. Some may not like the styling, some may not like the color scheme, but it’s one Viper killer and a whole lot better looking. For me, the jury is out, but this video convinced me I loved the sound. With a V-10 and a killer interior, it’s definately going to give the “Modern” American Muscle Car a run for their money.

Jay Leno and Justin, the head of the Devon Racing team looks the car over pointing out some of the features. My first impression was luke warm, but once they fired it up and Jay sits in it, my interest grew. Interior wise, it’s massive like the Viper and Vette, but a little more refined and the instrument panel concept is unique. Not finished, but you can see where they’re going.

I’m sure it’ll be a new addition to Jays garage, some day.

Looking at the specs on this car will blow anyone away. At some point, I’m going to drive one of these and see for myself. The Ariel has been around for a few years and they’re building them better and faster. Right now, they look to be in their third generation of production and build them to each owners specs … and, yes, this thing can be driven on the street, legally, well except for your speed, that’s a different form of legality.

Overview Specs:
Weight – less than 1,400
HP – 245
0 to 60 – less than 3 seconds (That’s wicked fast)

Go find a local rental company and see if they have it available to drive. I know I am!

This is one sick car. As an owner of a Lotus and having had the privilege of driving a Gallardo in recent years, I have to say, this looks a little like a Gallardo and Exige slammed together. You be the judge, but either love it or hate it, you have to admit, it’s one sick exotic car that will be getting some attention.

If-or-when I come into my next “Million Dollar Windfall”, I’ll be looking at something like this for sure. Since the Gallardo is a favorite and of course owning a Lotus, it would be awesome to have something this exotic in the garage. I even like the yellow color. My wife of course would beg to differ as it’d get too much attention, but it is a great looking color. Orange, Green and/or black are more favorites this might look good sporting.

Saleen S5S Raptor

In the market for a new supercar? Peep the Saleen S5S Raptor ($185,000). Just unveiled at the New York Auto Show, the supercharged Raptor drinks E85 ethanol and delivers 650 horsepower, a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds, and a top speed of over 200 mph. Choose from a 6-speed manual or paddle shifting.

As soon as it’s for sale, look out!!!

Okay, this is pretty cool. I just got an email with the opportunity to drive the new Audi models July 31st through August 2nd AND you might want to watch some boat racing to boot. To participate, you have to go out to Lake Dillon up in Summit County. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday or Sunday. See you there.

BTW… I am not affiliated or know anyone at Prestige, I just thought this was cool. If interested, here’s the information:
