One of the fastet, most exclusive end expensive cars was just sold again in Marbella. The Bugatti Veyron is with its 8.0 L quad-turbocharged W16 engine and its 1,001 PS the quickest accelerating and decelerating street-legal production car in the world. The price of the Bugatti Veyron is €1,100,000 without taxes and the production is limited to only 300 cars. So it is more than just exclusive. This particular car was sold in Marbella in Bergé Automoción which is selling exclusive cars like Lamborghini, Rolls Royce or Lexus. This car comes in red and black and I am sure it will be nice to see it again on the Costa del Sol passing by with a speed of 400 Km/h.

The Ascari A10 is a car produced by the British company Ascari Cars. It is a road-going evolution of the KZ1-R GT race car currently contesting the Spanish GT Championship, with both cars penned by ex-Formula One designer Paul Brown. The A10 features a 5.0 L BMW V8 engine producing 600 bhp/447 kW. The A10 shares the same basic carbon fibre chassis as the KZ1, with all-new bodywork and racing-derived suspension. Despite the addition of an FIA-spec roll cage and the fire-suppression system, the removal of soundproofing and such luxuries as air conditioning and a stereo system contributes to the A10’s relatively light weight of 1,280 kg. Ascari claims that the A10 is capable of a top speed of 354 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 2.8 seconds. The company plans to hand-assemble 50 A10s at its Banbury, England assembly plant, at a price of approximately 450,000 Euro (£350,000) each. One of this 50 cars was in Puerto Banus last week.

Yesterday was the big opening of the new Ikea store in Malaga and more than 18,000 people made their way to the new store. The set up traffic plans worked well to keep the traffic moving on the local motorway and the traffic was better than everybody thought. Some people took advantage of an extra bus services laid on. The company is more than happy with their first day. They sold 16 complete kitchens and about 5,000 people signed up for the “Ikea Family” card. The first person who walked into the new IKEA store was Lufti Zeton Gómez from Málaga. He waited outside the Ikea stote for 12 and a half hours. But for this he was given a 300 € cheque by the shop managers. This Ikea store is the eleventh on the peninsula. Experts estimate that the new Ikea store will absorb nearly 30% of the furniture market in Málaga. It is expected to attract more than 1.5 million visitors in its first year, with a turnover of around 101 million € forecast for its third year of opening. Nationally the company will turn over more than 1 billion € this year. The whole store near Plaza Mayor cost the company 65 million €, with a sales area covering 20,000 square metres on two floors, and customer car parking for 2,400 vehicles.

A few days ago, on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of july you could see something very ridiculous on the water. A Mini Cooper. Yes, the car. It is a kind of advertising or publicity for Mini. So they took a big Jetski and put the car body of a Mini Cooper on top of it. So it looks like there is a Mini driving on water. I found this photos on the spanish blog motorpasion.com because I havn´t taken any photos by myself. The first photo is taken in the port of Sotogrande (Cádiz), driving around. The second and third are in the port of La Duquesa (Málaga). I have read on another blog that this car is driving along the coast until the end of august. So maybe you can see in some other ports or on the beach. Read more »
