Top 10 Turn-On Cars: #2
Top 10 Turn-On Cars: #2
2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
There is something transcendent about the wind-in-your-hair motoring that only a convertible (or the back of a pickup truck) can provide. We don’t recommend riding in the back of a pickup truck, but we do recommend slipping behind the thick, sensuous wheel of the all-new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. When you lower the soft-top and step on the gas of this lusciously shaped piece of machinery, the exhilaration is palpable. With the top folded, the heater cutting through the evening’s chill and your favorite tunes blasting from the Camaro’s sound system, you will achieve the automotive equivalent of a perfect experience.

Top 10 Turn-on Cars for Valentines Day
Posted 2/8/2011 1:27 PM
We have to admit that in the rather staid world of Kelley Blue Book, the term “turn-on” prompted a second-thought or two and maybe even a slight blush. But upon consulting dictionary.com we discovered that the official definition of the hyphenated phrase is “something causing excitement or stimulating interest.” That’s a vehicular attribute that we’re comfortable speaking about even in the context of Valentine’s Day, because we are pretty good at identifying cars that cause excitement and/or stimulate interest. We’re lucky enough to drive cars that do this almost every week. Just what kind of excitement and stimulation they prompt is for you to judge, but we can guarantee that the 10 vehicles we delineate for you here are sure to make your pulse race and your heart skip a beat, just like Cupid and his arrows. So, to paraphrase Dr. Timothy Leary, turn on, tune in and drop into gear. You’re in for a stimulating ride.
2011 Audi R8
When it comes to generating pure passion few cars top the 2011 Audi R8. With a futuristic shape that is as artistic as it is sporting, the R8’s body is specifically sculpted to make the heart beat faster. Yet, it’s only when you slide inside, start the engine and set Audi’s supercar in motion that you realize what this wonder-car is really capable of. In motion, words like fast, visceral and thrilling somehow commingle with words like comfortable, refined and approachable. Simply amazing. While it doesn’t always hold true with people, if you spend a little time with the R8, passion will undoubtedly lead to love.

Hyundai Veloster Rally Car to Land at 2011 Chicago Auto Show
The ROFGO Gulf Collection by Duncan Hamilton is one man's dream of assembling the largest assortment of racing cars ever to compete in the legendary colors of Gulf Oil. The collection comprises 14 of the most prominent Gulf Oil-liveried competition cars and has been created by Duncan Hamilton & Co.’s Chairman, Adrian Hamilton, for an unnamed but obviously passionate and extremely wealthy client.
All 14 cars were tracked down and acquired in just two years. The collection includes a variety of models ranging in age from the 1967 Mirage, which was the first Gulf-liveried car to run at Le Mans, to the 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo that competed in the GT2 Championship.
Commenting on the collection, Adrian Hamilton said: “My career has been punctuated by many remarkable cars – eg the one and only Mercedes-Benz 196 Grand Prix car in private hands, some nine Ferrari 250 GT0s, 20 GT40s, seven Porsche 917s and numerous Jaguar C and D-Types etc – but few projects have been as enjoyable and satisfying as this one. Like all racing enthusiasts I’ve grown up with the Gulf brand and it is a tremendous privilege to be able to build such a unique and lasting tribute to one of the greatest names in our sport. I am extremely indebted to my client for the opportunity.”
A total of 12 cars from the ROFGO Gulf Collection by Duncan Hamilton will get their first public outing for all to see at Retromobile, an annual show of classic road and racing cars, which takes place at Porte de Versailles in Paris, from February 2 to 6.
