The Porsche 356 was the company's first production automobile. It was a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engine rear-wheel-drive 2 door sports car available in hardtop and convertible configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated toZuffenhausen, Germany and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its autumn 1963 debut. It is estimated approximately half of the total production of 76,000 356s still survive.

Almost 80 years after its introduction, the Bugatti Type 35 remains one of the most iconic and historically significant cars to have ever raced. Without doubt, the Type 35 was responsible for Bugatti's rise to the heights of 1920s Grand Prix racing and quickly became the most dominant participant of its era.

The Bugatti Type 35 is renowned for its featherweight chassis and low center of gravity. These factors combined made these relatively diminutive GP cars extremely manoeuvrable, especially on short tracks.

The Bugatti 35C was designed to take full advantage of the new 2-liter formula and over the following years proved nearly unbeatable. The small- displacement, 8-cylinder, roller-bearing engine allowed for a much higher redline, the blower provided power throughout the rev range, and the handling was simply phenomenal. Those intimately familiar with Bugattis would argue that the 35C was the ultimate "kit" for a Grand Prix Bugatti, a perfect balance of power, weight and character.

Now, in a Ferrari market that's past its peak, he's hoping to sell a "spare" California spider for less than half that sum. The 43-year-old BBC Radio 2 DJ has placed his metallic green 1959 Ferrari 250GT long-wheelbase California spider with HR Owen Sports Cars of London.

Although the asking price has not been revealed, we understand the Ferrari-mad celebrity is hoping for offers in excess of £2 million. Asked why Evans was selling the car, Owen Rothwell, marketing manager of HR Owen Sports Cars, said: "He has got nine other Ferraris so he might need the garage space if he's thinking of getting into something else."
In May 2008 Evans paid a reported £5.6 million for a 1961 250GT short-wheelbase California spider that once belonged to Hollywood actor James Coburn.

Exactly 110 years after Ferdinand Porsche developed the world's first car with hybrid drive, the Lohner Porsche Semper Vivus, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is once again taking up this visionary drive concept in production-based GT racing: During the Geneva Motor Show, a Porsche 911 GT3 R with innovative hybrid drive is making its debut, opening up a new chapter in the history of Porsche with more than 20,000 wins in 45 years scored by the extremely successful Porsche 911 in racing trim.

The innovative hybrid technology featured in the car has been developed especially for racing, standing out significantly in its configuration and components from conventional hybrid systems. In this case, electrical front axle drive with two electric motors developing 60 kW each supplements the 480-bhp four-litre flat-six at the rear of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. A further significant point is that instead of the usual batteries in a hybrid road car, an electrical flywheel power generator fitted in the interior next to the driver delivers energy to the electric motors.

The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid is a perfect example of the Porsche Intelligent Performance philosophy, a principle to be found in every Porsche: More power on less fuel, more efficiency and lower CO2 emissions - on the track and on the road.
