A car that has been out of production for a while doesn’t stop the tuners from having fun with the production models. This Porsche Carrera GT has been dubbed the Gemballa Miragae GT Carbon Edition. While they haven’t released many details on the project it has a gorgeous white/black pearl paint job. The performance upgrades for the car are detailed with 670hp and a 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. The top speed of the car clocks in at 208mph and we re hoping that one make a debut here soon to bring your more pictures and more information.

I have seen some obnoxious and overdone Louis Vuitton vehicle collaborations  in my time but this one takes the cake. John Jarasa, the editors of Heavy Hitters Magazine, posted this on his blog. Hopefully a new issue of Heavy Hitters will have some more shots of this Rolls Royce so we can really check out the wrap.

At the end of the month the new Porsche museum will open it’s doors to the public for the first time. Porsche has reffered to this new building at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen it’s “business card.” With just short of 6,000 square meters of exhibit space the building will house 80 histroic racing vehicles special to Porsche and over 200 exhibits about the company.

Porsche built this place anticipating around 200,000 vistors a year and entertain the Porsche community as a whole with vintage vehicles and rich history. The museum’s operating hours are daily from 9:00am to 6:00pm with the exception of Monday’s. Make sure you swing by next time your overseas.

Starting in April if your purchasing a 911 Carrera and Targa 4 you will find a new box to check at the dealership. For $2,500 you can purchase a new quad tip exhaust that is adjustable from within the cabin. The exhaust note will vary between engine load and speed bringing a whole new meaning to the true sound of your exotic car! The great news for you current 911 owners is that the package can be retrofitted onto your Porsche as well.

Yes you have been told your whole life that Imperial Stormtroopers are fictional soldiers from Star Wars. Yes, Stormtroopers are the personal army of the fictional Emperor Palpatine. All these lies the masses have told you when it looks like this is a true stormtrooper in his Lotus Speeder! The Speeder was a motorcycle without wheels in the Star Wars series that Stormtroopers used to get around quickly but it seems since then they have made some modifications courtesy of Lotus. This is just an exceptional moment of time captured by this photographer and we have to commend him for the hours of laughs we will receive from this one.

The Italians think they built and engineered the natural aspirated V12 Ferrari 550 Maranello to perfection but of course the Japanese disagree. Garage Saurus has put it’s own JDM flare on the V12 Ferrari and done it right. They put on a twin turbo setup with a front mount intercooler. The body is mostly converted to carbon (hood,bumper,doors). The back of the 550 has integrated rear oil coolers inside the bumper sitting directly under the diffusers. The car is pushing over 1,000hp and flies around the racetrack!

Our Flickr find of the day is from the Toys Auto Art office which has a gorgeous blue Bentley parked in the middle of the showroom. A gorgeous decor and very high end automotive feel they have going on with the office and a blue Bentley to boot always helps the attention factor.

Here is a quick snap shot of a gorgeous silver Ferrari F-430 sitting on 360 Forged wheels. The shot really brings out some gorgeous lines in the Ferrari. Even though it’s winter the exotic cars are still out in the Miami area with the near perfect weather year round. The aggressive stance of this Ferrari stock and the touch of carbon fiber wheels really makes this thing stand out.
