The Legendary Corrado Shooting Brakes are Up for Sale

The words “shooting” and “brake” are sure to cause tumescence in the car world these days. That’s partly because these sports-cars-cum-wagons are so rarely seen, and partly because they look so good.

Naturally, there’s excitement every time one of these rarities pops its head up, and today we’re excited to say that the extremely rare Magnum G60s have surfaced again and are for up sale.

The Magnum G60 was designed by Marold Automobili GmbH back in the late ’80s at the behest of Volkswagen. The idea was to see if it worked, and then start a limited run of 200 cars.

Unfortunately, it was not to be. Marold only made these two, and Volkswagen never made any more. Maybe they were too beautiful to live, or maybe VW realized that it didn’t really make sense to make a hatchback version of a sports car based on a hatchback.

Either way, these are the only two models in existence, and now they’re being sold by the fine people at LuxSport Motor Group. Since they are the only two in existence, LuxSport is asking for a hefty $50,000 each.

14021996650_e111b35b50_kThat the cars are in America in the first place is thanks to forum user zero9nine and friend-of-the-site Jamie Orr of Orchid Euro.

Zero9nine first bought the cars in Germany, way back in 2007 and a for a long time it looked like they simply couldn’t be imported in the US. In 2014, though, zero9nine met Orr in his home country of the Netherlands, and Orr handled the logistics of getting these cars into the new world.

Thanks to their, frankly, heroic efforts, you too now have the chance to own these historic cars that also happen to be super cool.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
