Reinventing an icon can’t be easy. The new Porsche 911 is due to be unveiled at this year’s Frankfurt Auto show in September boasting a subtle yet impressive redesign – the third redesign since the first model arrived 48 years ago. Given Porsche’s skill of evolving the 911 without ever losing its magic we’re excited to see something special.
This is a complete redesign of Porsche’s rear-engined sports car and boasts the badge of being the first 911 to be built chiefly from aluminium in an attempt to shave 40kg of weight and improve performance. The familiar 911 silhouette exists in an improved longer, lower and wider form with a 918 Spyder-inspired design and side mirrors swept from the wing and onto the door. The rear wheels have been pushed closer to the engine reducing any effects of rear-biased weight distribution and creating extra space – perhaps space for hybrid technology in the future? Stepping inside, the interior is roomier and has been given a luxurious update with a Panamera-style centre console and high quality leather trim.
Porsche always manages to increase economy by at least 10% for each new model released. Under the hood the new 911 features a 3.4 litre engine which revs higher than its 3.6 litre predecessor resulting in a more economical ride at 33mpg – reducing fuel consumption by 12% whilst delivering increased bhp. Good news for those concerned about the ever-increasing fuel prices.
There will also be available a 3.8 litre Carerra S. Lighter and faster, the new Porsche accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 186mph. Other changes include a shift from hydraulic to electro-mechanical power steering and a new chassis employing stiffer springs and softer damper settings than the previous model.According to Porsche the car laps the Nordschleife circuit in 8:04, and the Carrera S in 7:50, and with “the optimum set-up” the Carrera S has recorded a lap of 7:37. Not bad at all…
More details will be released at the Frankfurt launch in September but if you’re interested in funding one of these vehicles call us on 08450 944 997.
After a wholly positive consumer reaction to the prototype, Aston Martin has confirmed the production of the V12 Vantage Zagato as a road car with first deliveries expected in Summer 2012.
With only 150 examples expected to be built the new model stands as a pinnacle of exclusivity which has been tweaked by Italian styling house Zagato to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first iconic Aston-Zagato project DB4GT.
The price of exclusivity, fastidious craftsmanship and a 98-year history will set you back £396,000 and offers:
• A beautifully handcrafted aluminium carbon fibre body
• Tuned 6.0 litre V12 engine producing 510bhp and 570 Nm of torque
• Expected top speed of 190mph and 0-50 in approximately four seconds
• Six-speed paddleshift ASM transmission
• Larger 120 litre endurance racing fuel tank
• Multimatic racing suspension
The new model has been described by Aston martin’s Chief Executive, Ulrich Bez, as ‘”one of the most highly coveted models in Aston Martin’s 98-year history” which celebrates Aston Martin’s history whilst also looking to the future as the Zagato is vastly different to other Aston Martins currently in production. Costing £200,000 more than a V12 Vantage the new model promises style, exclusivity, a special hand crafted body and a car that will be worth a significant amount more than the Vantage in 20 year’s time – a true investment for those who appreciate exclusive English beauty.
Orders are being taken on a strictly first come first served basis so get in touch today if you’re interested in funding an exclusive British creation: 08450 944 997
The 2012 Range Rover Sport has been revised and refined and is due to go on sale in October 2011 with more power, reduced CO2, 8-speed transmission and improved interior features.
The revisions focus on economy and luxury along with subtle changes to the exterior, enhanced in car entertainment and an additional power boost.
Under the bonnet we can expect to find an upgraded SDV6 3.0 turbo diesel engine with 8 speed automatic transmission delivering 255bhp. Despite the increase in power, CO2 emissions have been slashed from 243g/km to 230g/km with fuel economy increasing from 30.7 to 32.1mpg on the combined cycle. To the rear there is a newly designed powered aluminium tailgate which allows drivers to set their desired lift height.
Significant upgrades have been made to the entertainment system which includes an 825W 17-speaker Harmon Kardon LOGIC 7 audio system with voice command. The 7 inch splitscreen DVD screen has dual view technology allowing the driver to see the satellite navigation whilst the passenger watches TV. Rear seat entertainment is also available and enhanced with WhiteFire wireless technology headphones so that entertainment doesn’t distract the driver. Other luxurious upgrades include new 20 inch alloys and dazzling diamante headlights
John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director said:
“The enhancements to the 2012 Range Rover Sport will ensure this car retains its position as one of the most economical and dynamic high performance SUVs on the market today. With greater levels of diesel engine efficiency, lower fuel emissions and exciting new features, the Range Rover Sport continues to live up to its reputation for power and refinement.”
The new Range Rover Sport will cost you just under £50,000 for the TDV6 or £80,000 for a specced up 5.0.

The new C63 AMG Coupe Black Series saw its official debut July 2011 at the German Gran Prix.
This new version boasts 509bhp from a 6.2 litre V8 with 457lb of torque. Fed through the rear wheels via a seven-speed sports automatic gearbox, the C63 AMG reaches 62mph in just 4.2 seconds which makes it the second fastest accelerating Mercedes after the SLS super car.
Inside, the new AMG Coupe sports a black interior stamped with ‘AMG’ and ‘Black Series’ logos and red highlighting. The rear bench has been removed to save precious weight but there is the option to purchase this model as a full four-seater, including the two front AMG bucket seats. The front TFT display compliments a huge audio setup to overpower the roar of the AMG exhaust.
Drastically different to the C-Class Coupe, the exterior is bold and beautifully crafted for speed and splendour with wider wheel arches, a beefed up body kit, air scoops in the bonnet, quad exhaust pipes, body coloured brake callipers and new 19in alloys.
Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes-AMG said:
“The new C63 AMG Coupé Black Series is the best proof there is for the permanent transfer of technology from the race track to the road.”
Two upgrade packs are available making the C63 even more track focused:
The AMG Track package includes:
• Track spec Dunlop tyres
• Active rear axle transmission cooling system
• Adjustable rear spoiler
• Relocated radiator
The carbon fibre Aerodynamics package includes:
• Side and diffuser inserts
• Cross strut in front apron
• Spoiler Lip
• Light 19in alloys
• Fire extinguisher
The C63 AMG Coupe Black Series goes on sale in 2012 and is expected to cost £110,000 undercutting the £116,000 M3 GTS.

Probably the best car BMW has produced in nearly a decade, well that’s what some experts are saying with the general consesne being that this is a dynamic, charismatic, involving and capable ride.
The steering is meaty, quick and responsive allowing the driver to enjoy the 1M’s perfect 50:50 balance especially when turning into bends. Twinned with a punchy engine, this car involves the driver and offers a pleasurable ride. The 3-litre twin-turbocharged N54 engine already made an appearance in the 135i, 335i, Z4, X5 and X6 producing 332 bhp and 332lb/ft of torque but feels much faster than this based on test drive feedback. The 1M does 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds and is 10 seconds quicker around the Nurburgring than its predecessor.
This model is not like other 1 Series models in that it has all of the best parts of the M3 such as suspension components but carries 100kg less weight. The 1M offers effortless performance through its agility as it can warp distances with little throttle movement placing the 1M as a new benchmark when compared to the M3.
The 1M is not just a track focused machine, but a quick and competent car for all round use lending itself nicely to our winding British roads and as a companion for long motorway journeys.
You can be the proud owner of this fun car which could just be the drive of your life from just £40,020 on the road .

For those looking to purchase their next car with a view to achieving the very best spec they can for their money the buoyant second hand car market is proving a very attractive proposition. Although each car performs in a different way where depreciation is concerned, at Oracle Finance we can help you identify the optimum age to buy the specific model you are looking for, making the whole process much easier and much more cost effective.
How does it work? Well, it’s simple really. Oracle Finance can offer you a 3 month no obligation credit line which means you can start the hunt for your new car with the assurance that the funds are reserved. Often people make the mistake of finding the car and then having to arrange finance afterwards meaning they inevitably opt for dealer finance and potentially a higher finance rate or longer lead times.
As well as Oracle offering a variety of excellent credit options you will also be allocated a dedicated Account Manager who is always on hand to offer advice on the right deal that best suits your needs. Your account manager will also utilise our comprehensive software which calculates the current value of a vehicle and it’s estimated value at various intervals over the forthcoming years. This is perfect for showing current value and residual value and is the essential part of working out the deposit, monthly payments and final balloon payment associated with the car of your choice.
If you are considering a change of vehicle Oracle Finance are happy to chat through any questions you have about financing your next vehicle purchase. What’s more, it could be worthwhile pre-empting the new registration rush and arranging a 3 month (no obligation) credit line to give you the peace of mind that the funds are reserved when you find the perfect car.

I just wanted to take a moment to pass on my appreciation for the service provided to us by Robert Jones. We began thinking about buying a new car more than 6 months ago, when I thought I might buy a used BMW X5. I decided not to do so then, and asked Robert to get back in touch with me in 3 months. He did so, and that lead to Oracle arranging the financing of my wife’s new Range Rover Evoque.
So, the entire process took more than 6 months, and throughout it all, Rob was patient, informed and very helpful in our efforts to obtain competitive financing. Please thank him for his efforts; he is a credit to your firm.
