Mitsubishi Evolution 6.5 TME

 


The Tommi Mäkinen Edition was a limited edition variant of the Mitsubishi Evolution VI. The Tommi Mäkinen Edition was created to celebrate Finnish rally driver Tommi Mäkinen's four consecutive World Rally Championship driver's titles. Also known as the TME, or Evo 6.5, this limited edition was offered in both RS and GSR trim levels, featured a distinctive front bumper, and was also the only Evo VI variant offered in red paint. While largely mechanically similar to standard Evolutions, TME cars featured lower ride height improved suspension, although the 2.0L turbocharged inline four remained the same. 2500 Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Editions were built, with production ending in 2001.

Nürburgring Track

  History of the Nürburgring How the ring came to be The Nürburgring Nordschleife, in Germany, stands tall with a rich history that makes it arguably one of the most formidable circuits in the world. A RACE TRACK IS BORN In the early 1920s, the German government aimed to create a national circuit to propel the country's auto industry and motorsport scene. A plan was drafted to build a track around the village of Nürburg, in the Eifel region. On the drawing board, the design was ambitious: a 'mountain, racing and test track'. The construction began in 1925, employing some 3000 workers. Two years later, the result was 22.8 kilometers of challenging tarmac known as the Nordschleife ("North Loop") and a separate 7.7 kilometer Südschleife ("South Loop").

The track comprised over 170 corners, a variance in elevation of...

Proton Satria Neo R3 Lotus Racing

  Well, maybe not  this  model per se – the Satria Neo R3 Lotus Racing was a special collaboration that resulted in only 25 models ever being built – but Proton is without a shadow of a doubt the name behind the people’s car of Malaysia. Founded in 1983, the stylized tiger head or crescent moon underlining the 14-point star that makes up Proton’s branding can be seen  everywhere  in this Southeast Asian country. Proton may have started off rebadging Mitsubishi products in the 1980s and ’90s, but around the turn of the millennium they began to invest more in their own products. You can’t drive more than a few blocks in LA without spotting a Prius or a Tesla; and likewise, Protons are  everywhere  in Malaysia. The Proton Satria Neo was always targeted towards young buyers looking for something a little sportier than your average hatchback. Around the time of its release, Proton was sti...
