Porsche Design Edition 2


If you read the Porsche Cayman S Sport press release, you will have noticed that the German sports car maker also released a second limited production model simultaneously.

Dubbed “Porsche Design Edition 2”, this limited edition model is based on the Boxster S and shares the same 223 kW 3.4-litre boxer engine with its hardtop sibling. The Boxster S Design Edition 2 features a 'Carrara White' production colour - a long time Porsche favourite - three central grey stripes, exclusive 'star-spoke' 19-inch SportDesign alloy wheels and the side air intakes, the centre console and the dials on the three round instruments are also finished in white. The white theme is complemented by the stone grey roof and the black leather interior.

Porsche Design Edition 2


This is the second limited edition of the current generation Boxster after the release of last year's Boxster RS 60 Spyder which has completely sold out.

Production of the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 is even more exclusive than its hardtop brother with a strictly limited total of just 500 units worldwide - Australian sales are yet to be confirmed.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport


Prestige car maker Bugatti has unveiled the name, the first set of official images and details of the roadster/targa version of the Veyron 16.4.

Officially named the 'Grand Sport', this particular Veyron 16.4 features a unique fabric roof for open top driving when so desired. This comes at the expense of top speed which has been 'limited' to 350 km/h but who cares when you the engine and exhaust note of a quad-turbocharged W16 engine banging against your ear-drums. Despite this,
the Grand Sport is still set to be the world’s fastest roadster. Its 8.0-litre, 16-cylinder, double V engine generates 1,001 bhp and is capable of propelling the car from 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds.

Bugatti has said that only limited numbers of the Grand Sport will be built and will carry a price tag that sits well over AU$2,000,000.

The Grand Sport will make its public debut at the Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance on August 17 with the first vehicle (chassis number 001) to be auctioned off to the highest bidder at the event.
