Talk about waiting for the right buyer. In 2019, it's estimated that 92 million new vehicles were built. That's an astounding number, and you know that not every new car immediately finds a new owner. We've covered numerous studies over the years talking about new cars that sell quickly versus those that sit on dealership lots. In the case of this Lotus Evora, it sat for a very long time. According to Car and Driver, it actually sat for seven years before finally finding a home.We hear about such things every now and then. In early 2020 we talked about Lexus selling three new LFA supercars despite the car having been out of production since 2012. Niche vehicles don't always have gobs of buyers waiting in the wings with cash in hand, especially ones that are on the pricey side. With a base MSRP of approximately $80,000 the 2014 Evora S 2+2 certainly fits that category, but this particular model at Secor Lotus in Connecticut was allegedly more like $90,000. The … [Read more...] about This New 2014 Lotus Evora Finally Sold After Seven Years On Dealer Lot

The experienced pit reporter split with Supercars Media late last year, ahead of a new broadcast deal for the touring car series.She's now set to spend 2021 covering two-wheel motor racing, Crehan joining the ASBK TV team alongside Steve Martin, Phil Harlum and Mark Bracks.“I’m thrilled to be joining the ASBK team in 2021,” said Crehan. “For the last 10 or so years I’ve been involved in motorsport, mostly running up and down the pitlane with the Supercars, but now it’s time to have some fun with two wheels and the ASBK paddock. "I’ve been a fan of two-wheels for a long time. I’ve known a few of the guys and girls in the ASBK paddock for a long time including Wayne Maxwell who is friends with my husband [Will Davison], and Troy Herfoss, who I have followed closely due to his off-track training. It’s great to see Brent Stephens join the paddock as a mechanic, as I’ve known him for a long time and it’s great to have some … [Read more...] about Crehan makes Superbikes TV switch

The Boost Mobile boss has been a long-time backer of Courtney, but upped his support of the 2010 champion during a difficult 2020 campaign. That included the short-lived Team Sydney adventure , as well as the lifeline deal mid-way through the season to grab the fourth seat at Tickford Racing . Despite not testing the Tickford Mustang once before his first race, and effectively learning on the fly across the remainder of the season, Courtney was able to bank 12 Top 10 finishes, including a second at Hidden Valley. While impressive given the circumstances, Adderton is expecting more this time around given Courtney will have a full pre-season under his belt. "We really didn't have a lot of chance to prepare [in 2020]," Adderton said. "I think JC's got a better chance this year. He knows the car. His first test day [last year] was a race, which is always hard. "You want to test the car and get to learn it, but he built up speed. "But it's a big year, and … [Read more...] about Courtney expected to ‘step up’ in second Tickford season

If a tree falls in the woods, will Rolls-Royce turn it into a picnic table? Jack Boyd Smith, Jr. is a billionaire. But unlike so many of his class, his tastes skew not purely toward extravagance but also to the stories behind extravagant things. Two such items are a 1934 Packard Twelve Coupe and a family heirloom – a rocking chair made of koa wood – which serve as the inspiration for the latest member of Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke collection : the Koa Wood Phantom Extended . Designed with input from Smith, this unique long-wheelbase Phantom wears Packard Blue paint, matched to the 1934 Twelve Coupe. Rolls-Royce formulated the shade after Smith, Jr. shipped a fender from his prized pre-war two-door to the Bespoke team in Goodwood. But getting the rich hue on the slab-sided Phantom wasn’t as easy as filling the painting robots at the factory and letting em’ rip. Rolls-Royce went through 40 separate test surfaces before finding a paint formula that … [Read more...] about Bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom Is Part 1934 Packard, Part Rare Tree
