The development of the Carrera GT can be traced back to the 911 GT1 and LMP1-98 racing cars. Due in part to the FIA and ACO rule changes in 1998, both designs had ended. Porsche at the time had planned on a new Le Mans prototype for 1999. The car was initially intended to use a turbocharged flat-6, but was later redesigned to use a new V10 engine, pushing the project back to planned completion in 2000. The V10 was a unit secretly built by Porsche for the Footwork Formula One team in 1992, but later shelved. The engine was resurrected for the Le Mans prototype and increased in size to 5.7 litres. Unfortunately the project was canceled after two days of testing for the first car, in mid-1999, mostly due to Porsche’s wish to build the Cayenne SUV with involvement from Volkswagen and Audi, thus requiring engineering expertise to be pulled from the motorsports division. It was also speculated that VW-Audi chairman Ferdinand Piëch wanted Audi’s new Le Mans Prototype, the Audi R8 not to face competition from Porsche in 2004.

This guy couldn’t see himself headed to the slopes without his Lambo so he decided to retrofit his his matte black Lamborghini Murcielago with a storage container up top. And while it may have seemed like a good idea at first, spectators at the slope said that a mishap with a huge pothole resulted in a torn and pulled fender. Now that’s at least a $15,000 mistake that he won’t forget for quite some time.

I’ve never really been a fan of the Porsche 928 GTS but after seeing these pics it make me want one. How’s that for customization and originality? LOL.

In the past few years there’s been plenty of controversy in regards to “chrome” cars in the Middle East. Some say they’re “chrome” while others claim to be made of “pure silver” but the reality of it all is that it is all done with a special paint which mimics the looks and reflectivity of “chrome.”

Here’s a few more shots of alleged “chrome cars” but again, they’re painted silver. So how do we know this? It’s simple….some of them are our customers of SBT Rides. Enjoy and stay tuned for more updates.

Our good friend and customer, Prinz Marcus has just completed his first rally (which he personally put together) and it’s called the Royal Run.

Here’s a few photos from the event….

This was the “Team SBT” Rolls Royce Drophead but due to some busines our CEO, Rami Khoury was unable to make it out.
