I can’t think of a better way to kick the February winter blues than to hop on a plane this afternoon and head down to Miami for the weekend to take part and cover the 2010 Supercar Experience (SCX)! We were present last year and you can checkout our Supercar Weekend 2009 Review as well as all the photos 2009 Supercar Weekend Pictures to get an idea of what this event is all about. Among all the sick cars and the sunshine we get to bask in, we are also super excited to visit with Brett David and Felicia Vaccaro at Lamborghini Miami, after the red carpet treatment they provided us last year during our visit at Lamborghini Palm Beach Supercar Weekend! Check back Sunday for the pictures, exclusive coverage and naturally more Supercar Weekend 2009 Girls

Porsche has just released a new top of the line sports car, 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S. The new Turbo S will be equipped exclusively with the 7 speed PDK transmission (which I think is crap after driving the Porsche Panamera), has 530bhp (30hp more than the current 911 Turbo) and 516ft-lbs of Torque delivering 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 195mph!

Standard features on the 2011 911 Turbo S include launch control (Sport Chrono Package Option on other models), Porsche ceramic composite brakes (PCCB), Dynamic Bending Lights, 19 Inch RS Spyder wheels with a central locking nut, and all options from the current Porsche 911 Turbo 997. Rest assured you can feel good about your 530hp monster as it sips the same amount of fuel (26.8 mpg average) as the 911 Turbo.

The 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S will be available in May in Europe as coupe & convertible and then arrive in the U.S. during the fall 162010.

Got this cool Pininfarina storage drive at Christmas thanks to a secret Santa in the office. I didn’t know that Pininfarina extended it’s design (or name) to anything other than vehicles. Either way it’s pretty cool looking. Drive is sold by Simpletech.

Sometime in late November, Posh Spice (aka Victoria Beckham) bought a grey Bentley Continental Supersports for her husband David Beckham after his LA Galaxy team lost a US Cup Final. The Bentley GT Speed can do 0-60 in 3.7 luxurious seconds thanks to it’s W12 which delivers 621bhp and 590ft lb of torque (attainable at 2000-45000rpm).

Bentley Motors denotes: “The Continental Supersports represents a perfect relationship between engineering and design with the enhanced iconic GT looks reflecting and heightening the supercar performance.”

Wowza! Last week was the week of multi Lamborghini Concepts matched by a pretty cool looking one-off Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta! First we saw the Lamborghini Toro Concept, then the Lamborghini Madura and now the Lamborghini Ankonian Concept! The Ankonian is by far my favorite even if it’s only a outrageously murdered out looking Lamborghini Concept (for now). I definitely think it’s far sexier than the Lamborghini Reventon.

For the past year, Halton Region motorists have been speculating whether or not rumors around town of a undercover Police Taxi was real or not. As you can see in the photo above, a police car in Georgetown with a taxi-style light on the roof reading POLICE 878-5511. It sure isn’t as sexy as the Lamborghini Taxi!

In order to catch speeders and aggressive drivers in Milton and Halton Hills, Police have been putting taxi-style top lights on unmarked cars. Very sneaky indeed!

Just before the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Arabian Business magazine published the salaries of several current drivers. MSN has an article listing the salaries, along with an interesting Points Per Million Dollars Spent Ratio. So which team got the best bang for their buck in terms of dollars spent on driver versus points earned in 2009? See the table below:

F1 Breaking News! Kimi Raikkonen’s manager Steve Robertson announced late on Tuesday November 18, 2009 to Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat that Kimi will not be racing Formula 1 in 2010.

“The only option for F1 next season was McLaren or nothing,” Robertson said. “Kimi and McLaren were unable to reach an agreement, so he will not drive at F1 level, at least not next year.”

Raikkonen and McLaren failed to come to terms based on salary, sponsor duties and Kimi’s freedom to rally race. Turun Sanomat speculated that 2011 Raikkonen could most likely return to Formula 1 Grand Prix with Red Bull Racing.

Keep in mind that Kimi’s severance deal with Ferrari will net him more money by taking a year off in 2010, than if he would have raced the year!

Next year, he is likely to be active in rally cars and possibly the Le Mans 24 Hours, the newspaper added.
