2014-porsche-cayman-gts-spy-shots_100454047_l

Porsche’s second-generation Cayman only hit the scene in the past year but it’s already about to spawn a new variant. That variant is a hardcore GTS model, and is the focus of our latest spy shots. The Cayman’s convertible cousin, the Boxster, is also set to spawn a GTS variant, and both should sport a similar set of upgrades. Clear differences between this Cayman GTS and the regular Cayman and sporty Cayman S are the new bumpers. At the front there are new intakes and LED daytime running lights, while at the rear there is a new diffuser insert. The wheels also appear to be a new design.

DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR LAMBO SUV YET

2017lamborghiniurus1

We were all expecting the Urus, which seemed almost ready for production, to be a little closer than this, but now we’re hearing that the launch of the Italian super-SUV is three years away. Gives those who have the moolah — oil barons, rappers, pro athletes, etc. — plenty of time to stash some cash before 2017. We just hope this is worth waiting for.

McLaren continues to strengthen its Asian presence and it couldn’t have chosen a more popular place to set up its eighth retail partner in the region. McLaren Bangkok will be run by Niche Cars – one of Thailand’s leading luxury car sellers – whose showroom is in the capital’s Siam Paragon shopping mall. One of the largest shopping centers in Asia, the popular hangout is where the most Instagram photos were taken in 2013.

GOING ONCE…!

Barrett-Jackson bills itself as ‘The world’s greatest collector car auction’ and when it comes to sales volume, attendance, sheer number of events, values of cars, it is indeed the top auction. It had everything, from the 2015 Ford Mustang mentioned in an earlier post, to F1 cars and even this: a batmobile. For sheer fun, it was even displayed complete with a driver dressed in a Batman costume and his sidekick Robin.

APPLE ABOARD!

No other infotainment software makes quite the splash as Apple’s iOS in the Car. Several screen shots of Apple’s iOS in the Car were posted on developer Steven Troughton-Smith’s twitter page, giving us an idea of what the current beta model looks like. As reported by 9To5Mac, iOS in the Car allows users to plug their iOS device into their car’s built-in center console display, giving them access to Apple Maps, text messaging, phone service and iTunes – furthering Apple’s in-dash integration past the current Siri Eyes Free and iPod Out.
