History can repeat itself. It can also top itself. It is more than the next 911. It is an articulation, from the ground up, of our vision for the future of the sports car. As evidenced by even more power from even less fuel. 350 immensely powerful horses from a 3.4 liter engine in the Carrera. A longer wheelbase for added stability. And a new elevated center console that reinforces our focus on the driver. Proving once again that despite over 60 years of making history, it's making history. And it all starts with a test drive.

The next Porsche 911. Forever the sports car.

Fisker Karma

Fisker Karma: Luxury leads the way for the driver – and the environment – with the world’s first ecochic cars created in equally eco-friendly facilities. The Karma’s dramatic proportions and sumptuous design offer unparalleled performance. And the interior lets four adults and luggage travel in comfort. With zero emissions. Zero compromise. And a cleaner conscience than ever before. 2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante: The Aston Martin Virage Volante is a lesson in the elemental pleasure of open-top driving. With all the dynamism and refinement you would expect of a V12 Aston Martin sports car coupled with the comforts of a true luxury GT, the Virage Volante takes you to another dimension of pleasure. Serial Number 1 Corvette Collection: The 1955 Corvette is the last of the early C1 body style and the first to offer a high performance 265 ci 195 hp V8 engine. In 1956, Corvette received its first redesign with the cove body style that has become one of the most famous designs in American automotive history. Finally, 1957 Corvettes marked the last year for the single headlights and are known for their performance. 2012 Porsche 911 GT2 RS: The target could hardly have been set any higher: the 911 GT2. The aim: to surpass it. The method: Porsche Intelligent Performance. The result: the new 911 GT2 RS. Not a muscle too few. Not a ounce too much. Our engineers experienced just one feeling: awe. Before they started. And definitely after they had finished. A feeling that goes with you. Every foot, every second. Ferrari 458 Spider: The new 458 Spider joins the 458 Italia, widening the range of Ferrari’s mid-rear engined V8s and offering the same uncompromising technological solutions, handling and performance in a refined open-top configuration. It is equipped with a Ferrari patented, fully retractable hard top, a world first for a sports car with this lay-out. Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4: With the Aventador LP 700-4, Automobili Lamborghini is redefining the very pinnacle of the world super sports car market – brutal power, outstanding lightweight engineering and phenomenal handling precision are combined with peerless design and the very finest equipment to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

Ferrari 458 italia 1923 Cadillac 61 Victoria Coupe: Very rare Car and a true classic as recognized by the Classic Car Club of America. Only 3 known to exist.This car sold new in 1923 for $3875 (equal to the price of 7 model T’s in 1923). Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport combines state-of-the-art technology and the beauty of a convertible. Extreme precision and meticulous care for detail – those were the governing principles followed by the designers and engineers as they created the Grand Sport. 2012 Maserati GranTurismo Sport: Bolstered by the success of a model that brought the entire concept of the Grand Tourer up to date, the new GranTurismo Sport stands out from the crowd thanks to thorough restyling and a host of new technical features that further enhance its sporty nature in terms of performance and design – inside and out. Backdraft Roadster: The Backdraft Roadster has been extensively developed and refined over many years as a proven, high-technology, superior quality sports car. It provides the ultimate in authentic replication, quality finishing, advanced ergonomics and passenger comfort in a roomy interior. 1958 Chrysler Imperial Convertible: 1 of 15 known to exist. Extremely fast for its day with a 0-60 time of 8.4 seconds and a top speed of 135 MPH. An amazing example of a very rare and true American Classic. The Geisha Bike: This bike is built on a modified Yamaha Road Star frame and power train. The frame has been stretched and raked and the swing arm widened to accommodate the 300 rear tire. The paint job alone took over 6 months to complete but the detail is phenomenal. This bike belongs to Will Robertson and is his latest pride and joy. Ferrari 458 Italia: The F430’s successor, Ferrari’s 458 Italia is an aluminum stunner with a 4.5L V8 good for 562 hp and 398 lb-ft; it also features a 7-speed dual clutch shifter and a 0-60 of 3.4s.
