Corvette C6 Black Force One from LOMA Performance

I’ll be honest straight away and say that the main reason for this news article is not to discuss yet another tuned supercar, but instead to indulge ourselves in some of the most impressive carnography pictures we’ve seen in a long time.

I’m not really a fan of the Corvette, but liked them so much that we’ve uploaded them as full-sized 1400 x 875 px wallpapers for you to use as your desktop background.

While we’re at it, I guess we should mention the technical specification of this Corvette C6 Black Force One from German Tuners, LOMA-Performance. It features a 784 bhp V8 engine with twin-turbochargers, which are claimed to propel the C6 BlackforceOne from 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 206 mph.

C6 BlackforceOne production is strictly limited to 25 vehicles and comes with LOMA-Performance’s 12-month guarantee. The prices for a complete vehicle start at ‘just’ 190,000 euros in Germany.

The name C6.BlackforceOne is inspired by the legendary Boeing Air Force One of the United States president, and the C6.BlackforceOne is available in a choice of 3 choices paint colours; Stealth matt black, Eurofighter matt grey and White Storm matt white (although other colours are available on request).

Those who want to experience the C6 BlackforceOne for themselves will find it at the Essen Motor Show from 28 November to 6 December (Hall 6, Stand 215), or by contacting LOMA Performance directly.

Here are the first pictures of the all new Nissan 370Z.

Full details of the car will be released on 19th November, but the pictures suggest that it’s considerably more compact then the 350Z and it has a real aggression about it – although interestingly they’ve resisted the temptation to draw design details from the phenomenal GT-R.

N24 through the lens

It’s been a long night for DR at the N24. Jethro and Richard have been fighting fatigue, fear of the dark, intermitent rain, and the small matter of over 200 other competitors trying to carve their way around the Nordschleife. I however have had to face something much scarier. The thought of dealing with Uwe Alzen bearing down on me with a closing speed of over 100mph is nothing compared to coming face to face with a group of alcohol-fuelled German motorsport fans, who realise you’re preparing to use a video camera (needless to say the footage will be interesting).

I’m pleased however, to tell you I have survived the night, and as you can see from these pictures, so have our two DR cars. Sadly, I can’t say the same for our hungover, German friends. I’m sure both Jethro and Richard will post more updates soon, once they’ve washed the champagne out of their hair.
