Highsnobiety Feature: DRIVERS

drivers frontpage Highsnobiety Feature: DRIVERS

We present to you the next feature from our most recent print issue. After first having published the Zombie Boy in Acronym spread the other week, we continue today with our ‘DRIVERS’ story.

In our DRIVERS spread we managed to bring together two legends – the Stuck family and the iconic race track Nurburgring in Germany. Hans-Joachim Stuck, father of the family, won the 24 hour race on the track in 1970, as a 19 year old. Throughout his career he competed in many different categories, including the Formula One. His two sons, also featured, today try to step in the shoes of their father and are already competing in the GT3 championship. Having the three of them race on the Nurburgring Nordschleife in the Audi R8 Spyder GT and Lamborghini Superlegera Spyder was a match made in heaven, caught on camera for us by photographer Christian Brecheis.

You can check out the full spread along with behind the scenes video by Alex Schiller (isenseven) in our features section.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Super Sports Car

Ahead of its Geneva Auto Show debut, Bugatti previews the new Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, which will be one of the most powerful street cars to ever be produced.

“With an increase in power up to 1,200 HP, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse has
entered a new dimension of open-top driving. Optically aligned to the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which holds the current world speed record of 431 km/h, the Vitesse also impresses with its dynamic driving characteristics.

Bugatti’s engineers have developed the current Grand Sport, with its 1,001 HP and 1,250 Nm, into an even more powerful vehicle. The Vitesse’s maximum torque is now an impressive 1,500 Nm. The increased power of the new roadster’s 16-cylinder engine is made possible by the four enlarged turbochargers and intercoolers. The chassis has also been modified to support the power increase.”

1200 hp… incredible. Take a further look after the jump.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG Car

After just recently presenting the new Mercedes-Benz SL roadster, the new high performance version of the sports car, the SL 63 AMG, is also ready for the road.

The new version of the high-performance roadster impresses on several counts: lightweight construction, a boost in output and driving dynamics, and 30 percent lower fuel consumption and emissions. Thanks to an all-aluminium bodyshell, similar to that of the SLS AMG super sports car, the SL 63 AMG weight has been reduced by 125 kilograms. With a weight of 1845 kilograms and an output of 537 hp, the new model will no doubt impress. A further boost in performance comes courtesy of a winning combination: enhanced AMG sports suspension based on Active Body Control (ABC), new AMG speed-sensitive sports steering, the AMG high-performance compound brake system and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission.

The new Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG will be launched in May 2012, with prices starting at 160′000 Euros.
