White Car World
Because White is the new Black

If I had £80k to spend on a sports car it would be a tough choice between the Audi R8 and the Maserati GranTurismo S. Both look absolutely fantastic in white too, what would you choose?

This is the new Volkswagen Scirocco due to launch later this year. As you can see from these official pictures it really suits the “Candy White” colour that it will be available in at launch. Very nice!

Germany’s edo competition have done their tuning magic again. This time they’ve turned their attention on the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. Full details are below from the official press release is below, but for now just sit back and gaze adoringly at it. beautiful!

it doesn’t get any faster …

With the modified Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera edo competition Motorsport has now added a second high-profile Italian racer to its tuning program after the Murciélago LP 640. Like its bigger brother, this sports car with the bull in its logo excels through its highlighted racing genes and more aggressive appearance after being modified at edo competition.

The most remarkable feature is the sensational acceleration. edo competition achieves these figures thanks to the installation of a massive air box, high flow catalytic converters which are a completely new design and a recalibration of the engine electronics. All components together raise the power output to 560 hp (411 kW) at 8,250 rpm. The power increase of 30 hp / 22 kW boosts the top speed by about 6 km/h (4 mph) to 320 km/h (199 mph).
Another highlight: The sound volume of the modified exhaust system can be adjusted via remote.

The sporty concept of the edo Gallardo Superleggera is rounded off with 19″ three-piece racing wheels with an artificially-aged cast center-section, hand-polished outer rims and 39 stainless steel screws.

The front wheels are shod in stock-sized or (on request) 245/35 ZR 19 rubber while 305/30 ZR 19 Dunlop Sport Maxx tires are used on the rear axle. With this solution edo competition enables its customers to reuse the factory tires on their new wheels.

edo competition treats the masculine stance of the Gallardo Superleggera to an additional testosterone injection by lowering the suspension by a good 15 mm and through the use of corner-weighting. With these upgrades, the Lambo sticks to the road so firmly and unflappably that it would take an earthquake to upset its poise.

Verdict from the July 2008 Autobild comparison test „Edo Gallardo / MTM R8″:
„The edo Gallardo Superleggera is the more harmonic and better balanced car. Very quick, great to control and of the finest quality in all aspects”!

This is the one-off Volkswagen Polo GTI Cabriolet by Karmann. It’s just a concept for now, but if there’s enough interest it could be made into production.

It seems that Land Rover agree that their cars look fantastic in white as these spy shots courtesy of MotorAuthority show.

They were taken at the Nurburgring in Germany and show the facelifted Range Rover Sport being put through it’s paces. As you can see from these images the new car has a revised front end, bumper and side vents. Expect it to reach showrooms later this year.

We can’t wait for the Camero to get its full launch, as you can see by the prototype above it’s retro styling looks fantastic in white.

What is it about Audi’s that they look so fine in white? We’ve yet to see an Audi that doesn’t suit it.

BMW’s entry level model suits white paryicularly well, much more so than some of the bigger cars in their lineup. Ever seen an X5 in white? You don’t want to!
