V8 Cayman S

On one of the local TV stations they had an hour show on the LA Car show. They had a segment introducing the 911 Targa and talked about the introduction of Cayman last year and stated it had a 4.5 V8 with 345 HP. HMMMM I didn't that option.

410 HP Cayman at LA Auto Show

For all those folks in Southern CA this week, Farnbacher Loles Cayman-based GTR is making its West Coast debut as one of the featured vehicles in the Yokohama Tire booth. Parked right next to the radical Tesla electric sportscar, the GTR is drawing lots of attention. While the display car is the prototype, it sports all the production goodies including the same 3.8 liter X-51 engine featuring a unique REVO-tuned adjustable performance feature: easily switch from 390 daily-driver HP (on pump gas) to 410 HP (on 100 octane race fuel) for track days!

In addition to the awesome acceleration, the car is a handling champ and recently was put through its paces driven by German Porsche ace (and Daytona 24 Champ) Dominik Farnbacher who couldn't stop smiling after piloting the car around the winding backroads of Western Connecticut. As Dominik's co-pilot during the drive, all I can say is YEEEHAAAAAA!

The GTR is now in production and the prototype can be seen at the show through December 10th. Make sure you stop by and say hi to the Yokohama folks who have been great partners in the development of the car. All GTRs wear the outstanding Yokohama ADVAN Sport tires.

Yokohama booth

The Yokohama booth is located at the entrance to West Hall. If you walk from the Ferrari exhibit toward the Porsche exhibit, it will be on your right. Enjoy the show.

I went to the show this evening after work.
Saw the Cayman at the Yokohama booth, looks nice.

First GT3 I've seen in person, looks awesome.
The V8 Vantage was beautiful.
I really like the new Volvo Hatchback C30.
Rim sizes are getting ridiculous, saw a Hummer I think with 30"
I sat in an M Coupe, the car looks much much better in person, it looks awesome in person, pictures don't do it justice. Too bad the interior is so bad, just something about it just rubbed me the wrong way. I think it looked bad and the quality just felt awful, just felt like cheap plastic all over.
