This is what I'm talking about!!
BBR reveals 268bhp Mazda MX-5.
Mazda MX-5 tuner BBR has revealed its latest high-performance version of the sports car, with 268bhp.
The latest BBR-tuned MX-5, designated GT270, is capable of covering the 0-60mph sprint in 4.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of 150mph.
BBR has modified the MY2013 Mazda MX-5 Sport Tech roadster coupé's 2.0-litre petrol engine, fitting a new turbocharger that increases power by 110bhp over the standard car to 268bhp, and torque to 227lb ft.
The tuner has also fitted a number of electronic upgrades, including a new launch-control system with four driver-selectable ECU modes as well as full-throttle shift and auto-throttle blip functions. The chassis has also been re-tuned, which BBR says makes "dramatic" changes to the handling dynamics of the MX-5.
The car weighs in at 1190kg, 71kg less than the standard car, and has a power-to-weight ratio of 225bhp per tonne.
The car will be built in a strictly limited run of 100 numbered units, and is priced at £29,995.
BBR has already set a performance precedent for the MX-5, releasing its 285bhp BBR GTI version of the car earlier this year.

1951 Bentley Mark VI Concours Restoration Handmade Best of the Best No Reserve
This car was restored by a marque expert 30 years ago at a cost of $65,000. The car was rust free and low mileage. There are a few minor flaws in the paint that need to be touched up to return the paint job to show quality. The leather and wood are still immaculate. Absolutely everything operates on the car as intended. Excellent mechanically. Completely roadworthy. This is probably the best Mark VI on the planet. Amazing specimen! Being sold to settle estate.
Enjoy it while it appreciates!

Shot from March 9-11 2012 in Amelia Island at the 17th annual Concours d'Elegance.
Truly the car lover's/photographer's paradise, beautiful grounds, sunshine and accommodating owners willing to chat, share history and rides.
I love the old Rollers and Duesies, but this weekend was really about the Ferrari GTO.
