Joined the masses heading to the Autosport Show on Thursday. It’s technically trade day, but there were plenty of punters there anyway. Lots to see as always, including the Ginetta G40 – see blog of 30 November – but what caught my eye was Porsche’s new 911 GT3 R track car (above). How sexy is that? Delivered to customers in ready-to-race guise, it’s powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder enginer delivering 480bhp. Anti-lock brakes, traction control and an electronic throttle with ‘blip’ function on down-changes, it’s ideal for the ambitious amateur racer rather than more experienced professionals. You won’t be surprising to learn that Porsche isn’t exactly giving them away. Yours for £288,000. Be quick, though; most of the 2010 production run has already sold.
