Ferrari Since 1947
Maarten Memorial 2010
One of the first cars to arive at Ahoy, Rotterdam, was this beautiful Noble.
These cars are very exclusive and rare here in Holland so I was pleased to see my first one.
In person, I think, this car looks very impressive and elegant, and it sounded very nice.
Some of my shots are used in an article on this event on Autogespot.
In 2000, the Noble M12 GTO threatened to turn the established supercar market on its head. With its mix of scorching performance, race-bred dynamics and immaculate build quality, the Noble could be bought for a fraction of the cost of most of its rivals, but gave away nothing to them on the road and track. The press raved about it and demand rapidly grew as buyers saw this British-designed car as a credible alternative to cars costing more than twice the price.
The Noble M12 GTO is fitted with a 2.5-litre V6 engine using twin turbochargers and produces 310bhp (314PS) – enough for it to accelerate from 0-60mph (0-97kph) in 3.9 seconds and 100mph (160kph) in 9.4 seconds (figures from Autocar magazine).
The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO)(Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987 in Ferrari's Maranello factory, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata (homologated in Italian).
Some of the GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Auto Salon. The 288 GTO had started out as a modified version of the 308/328 to hold down costs and to build the car quickly, but little of the 308/328 was left when the 288 GTO was finished.
Easily noticeable differences were the GTOs bulging fender flares, larger front/rear spoilers, large "flag-style" outside mirrors and four driving lights at the far sides of the grille. Retained from the original 250 GTO were slanted air vents, put in the GTO's rear fenders to cool the brakes, as well as the rear wing's design, borrowed from the 250 GTO's original wing. The GTO also had wider body panels than the 308's because they had to cover much larger Goodyear tires mounted on racing wheels.
The GTO was based on the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB, which has a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8. The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine as it used a de-bored by 1 mm (0.04 in) with IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 2.85 litre engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO an equivalent engine capacity of 3,997 cc (4.0 L; 243.9 cu in), just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.
Unlike the 308's 2,927 cc (2.9 L; 178.6 cu in) engine, the GTO's 2,855 cc (2.9 L; 174.2 cu in) V8 was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear trunk space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers. The racing transmission was mounted to the rear of the longitudinal engine, moving the rear differential and wheels aft. The arrangement also let the GTO use a more conventional race-car engine/transmission layout for such things as quick gear-ratio changes for various tracks. As a result, the wheelbase was 110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96.5 in).
"I've been working on this guy for a while," Andrew commented. "The brakes are shot." I peered into the interior. "Looks lovely," I said.

1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible, at the Hennepin, Illinois Car Show, July 4, 2015. Nice to find one with the hood down, for a change!
(Second posting edited.)
This is a 1964 Pontiac GTO post car. 325 H.P., 428 Ft. lbs. torque, all numbers match, Muncie 4 speed transmission, Hurst shifter, Factory air, and 15 inch American Racing Torque-Thrust Wheels. Complete frame off restoration. The car was completed in August, 2003.
Photographic information:
Originally the photo was going to made on the other side of the boat launch. Then I got this bright idea to move the car to the other side to catch the sun. When I saw the reflection, I had the car positioned as close to the water as I could without it falling in. The time of the shoot was late afternoon.
The photo was cropped, some areas in the background (fence) were cloned out.
Light HDR was used.
Borders and graphics were added.

My neighbour here in Florida has this really cool 1970 GTO. I asked him if he would mind if I took a few photos. Here they are. Hope you like them Marko. Best viewed Large On Black.
This was "Photo of the Day" on the General Motors blog GMFYI on February 17, 2009.
One of the finest classic muscle cars I've seen, this beauty has been given some love with tons of high performance upgrades - no wonder it won first place at the Muscle Car Classic, and was featured in a 2003 edition of Car Craft magazine (Dyno proven engine combos).
Take a peek at the specs (and more photos and video) of this beautiful 1968 Pontiac GTO.
Approaching 200k this; showing 173k at last mot. It looked in good condition too.

Ferrari Since 1947
Location: Berlin
This 599 GTO is one of the nicest ones across the globe. The 599 GTO is hyper cool itself, being one of the best-sounding V12 Ferraris out there, having a very aggressive but also stylish appearance and being limited to only 599 cars.
This particular one is extremely bespoke. It features brown accents across the car. The middle-strip is brown, all of the carbon fibre parts are colored dark-brown with a golden sparkling effect, this also includes the wheels and Ferrari badges.
It's one of the nicest vehicles to have existed in Berlin, especially when looking at it in 2021.
