New Maserati GranCabrio Debuts

IN Cabriolet, Convertible, Features iconic design, GranCabrio, Maserati, Maserati GranCabrio, New, Open-top elegance, Spyder

GranCabrio, Maserati’s new spyder, features iconic design and open-top elegance.


This open-top beauty is the ultimate counterpart to the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, and let me tell you, it's a force to be reckoned with. Under the hood of the 718 Spyder RS lies a six-cylinder boxer engine that pumps out 493bhp and 450Nm of torque. This powertrain, which also propels the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racing car, is equipped with a lightweight stainless steel sports exhaust system that delivers an exhilarating soundtrack. Plus, you get to hear it even more, now that the roof is gone.

Lamborghini is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a limited edition run of the Huracán STO, Huracán Tecnica and Huracán EVO Spyder. Only 60 units of each car will be produced, and all were unveiled on April 21 during an exclusive event as part of Milan Design Week. Each model is available in two different configurations, each redefining Lamborghini’s heritage of creating fresh, trendsetting colours. Dedicated liveries are also included as part of the package. To highlight the uniqueness of these special series, each car is embellished with a “1 of 60” carbon fibre plate and a “60th” logo painted on the doors and embroidered on the seats. STO

Premiering at the Milan Design Week, a trio of Huracán STO, Tecnica and EVO Spyder 60th Anniversary Editions took centre stage.


“The R8 V10 RWS is made for purists; a limited-edition special model for customers with an appreciation for essential driving enjoyment,” says Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Audi Sport GmbH. Indeed, as the R8 V10 RWS Coupé weighs 50 kg less than the regular all-wheel drive R8 V10 Coupé coupled together with chassis and handling tuning adapted for rear-wheel drive, provides for incredibly fun driving.

So why this and not a Lamborghini then? Well we asked the same question too and found that it would have been an impossible question to answer unless you’ve driven both - and we have. Well we’ve driven the Huracan Coupe at least, both on the road and on the track.

Audi R8 Spyder V10 | Blue Thunder

Like the 80s’ movie featuring a high-tech helicopter, the new R8 Spyder is an advanced assault machine so similar to ‘Blue Thunder’.


One key difference between the Coupe and Spyder R8 models is of course the lightweight, fully automated cloth hood, which can be activated at speeds of up to 50 km/h, and is slickly concealed beneath the sculpted integral cover - it takes just 20 seconds for the roof to be activated. The rear window can also be retracted and extended at the touch of a button.

According to Porsche, the Boxster Spyder is engineered to be a ‘radical return’ to the roots of the roadster. It is meant to be ‘purist, unfiltered and evocative’, to go back to a time when few choices were available. Whatever it is, us here at Burnpavement find it both stylish and svelte; at the same time, sophisticated too. Imagine showing up at exclusive events in this…

New Huracan Spyder Drops In At The Second Home Of The Bulls

IN Lamborghini, Huracan, Spyder, Roadster, V10, Singapore, Eurosports Auto, Launch

Lamborghini’s latest drop-top is unveiled at a brand new satellite showroom in Suntec City.


Designers drew inspiration from vintage roadsters. The MX-5 Spyder features a 'bikini top', Mercury Silver exterior, carbon fibre aero kit and grille intake, lightweight 17-inch Yokohama Advan Racing RS II wheels and a Spinneybeck Prima natural full-grain leather interior. The MX-5 Speedster, meanwhile, pares the roadster back to the bare essentials — it even has a deflector in place of the windscreen — for an old school wind-in-the-hair sports car experience. Mazda took its weight-cutting passion to extremes with for example carbon fibre doors and seats as well as custom 16-inch Rays 57 Extreme Gram Lights wheels. The Speedster tips the scales at only 943 kg, and is also 30 mm lower than the production MX-5 thanks to an adjustable coilover suspension.

Although shaded in terms of drama by the theatrics of the folding roof, the heart of the Huracan Spyder is still a highlight. The naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 is carried over unchanged from the Coupe, producing 610hp and 560Nm of torque. Although top speed is still the same at 324km/h, the extra weight brought on by the need to stiffen the chassis drops the 0-100km/h time from 3.2 to 3.4 seconds. Not exactly what you'd call a slouch, mind.

That combination of the sleek body and that powertrain means that the century sprint is dealt with in just 2.9 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 338 km/h. However, should you decide to run this car as a pure electric vehicle, you wouldn’t be too disappointed either; the onboard electric motors can propel the car up to 151 km/h, which, in any case, is a lot faster than can be legally achieved on the road.
