2009 BMW 7-Series Caught On Roman Holiday

The Italian Stallions over at the Mediterranean version of the blog about autos caught these photos of a disguised 2009 BMW 7-series while cruising down the autostrada.

Caterham To Partner With RS Performance for V8 Seven

Caterham has joined up with speed freaks RS Performance to bring to life a real fire breathing bug killer. RS will be dropping its race proven 40-valve, 2.4 liter RST-V8 into the fully massaged carbon fiber and space frame Seven chassis. That engine will be available in supercharged form up to 500 hp (coming in at 10,000 rpm - wow!). With the whole assembly clocking in at 500 kilos, the Caterham Seven RS will sport a 1000 hp per tonne power to weight ratio - besting the Veyron - all at a price of £115,000. Full raft of details and the spec sheet below the fold.
