My Friend's New PAGANI HUAYRA BC!


It’s collection time for @gregb.23’s new Pagani Huayra BC so we head to the factory for the handover from Horacio Pagani himself!

I cannot thank Greg enough for the opportunity not only to join him for this special day after two years of waiting, but to have a chance to briefly jump behind the wheel myself for a little drive. This particular Huayra is one of just 20 BCs, and is completely bespoke throughout in Greg’s custom dark green carbon with orange highlights, it is undoubtedly one of a kind.

Please give Greg a follow at http://instagram.com/Gregb.23 – it’s amazing to be able to share this with you.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Camilo Pardo And His Ford GT Go Full Circle


This week we take a ride in artist Camilo Pardo’s 2005 Ford GT. If you’re unfamiliar with the man, you best strap in: Camilo Pardo was the lead designer on the Ford GT program.

Born in New York, Camilo and his family resettled in Detroit when he was 10 years of age. Already a fan of automobiles, the shift to Motor City only further enamored Camilo to the Domestic machines of the 1960s and 1970s. “I was on a mission to be an automotive designer,” says Camilo, and after graduating from the Center for Creative Studies in 1985, he was promptly hired by Ford for his evident talents.

By 2005, Camilo was leading the SVT Studio Ford GT production design team. In response to working on such a special project, Camlio says, “You dive into it. You put all of your emotion into it, your heart. You wake up faster, you get into your car quicker, you drive to work, you’re a little earlier. It changes your life.”

But despite his ecstatic enthusiasm in playing such a vital role in Ford Motor Company heritage, Camilo admits the project had its hardships. “As we approached the auto show, they cancelled the production car. It was disappointing. My goal was to do a concept vehicle that really looked like a production car, could maybe some way talk everybody to put it back on for production.”

The rest is history. Camilo and his design team’s Ford GT concept proved to be such a hit, Ford announced the car would be produced at the unveiling. Since 2005, Camilo has owned five previous GT with this custom liveried silver, black, and orange example being his sixth and latest example.

From dreaming of classics as a youngster in Detroit, making his way through design school, and landing a key studio position at Ford, Camilo Pardo’s career hasn’t come without its challenges, but it’s been one hell of a ride. “I’ve spent a lot years designing cars and it doesn’t always come full circle. It is an automotive designers goal and dream.”

Tesla Model S P100D – 2.39s to 60mph with LUDICROUS PLUS!


Tesla have raised the stakes with the Model S with the new P100D that now features Ludicrous Plus Mode. To you and I that means 0-62mph/100kmh in 2.39 seconds….

That’s faster than supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder, Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 and basically anything else you can think of. Along the way it has also received a number of updates, both physically in terms of the appearance with a cleaner front end as well as over-the-air software updates to the functionality too. I wanted to return to take the car out and show you through the inside and out during a test drive.

Thanks for watching, Tim

The Mercedes CL class is a two-door, pillarless coupe version of the S-Class sedan. This CL600 has a twin-turbo V12 Engine, and as opposed to the CL63 we drove recently, is tuned towards effortless luxury and speed rather than muscle car anger and sporting intentions.
