Autogespot no longer accepts 'campingspots' to events

Jan 1, 2019, 12:10 PM A new year and therefore the perfect opportunity to introduce a new spotting rule. Starting January 1st 2019, we will no longer accept so-called 'campingspots'. An example is the many spots we see from Boulogne-sur-Mer (France) where cars cross the English Channel on their way to Le Mans. Spots in Barweiler (close to the Ring in Germany) or the many villages along the route to Goodwood are other examples.

First spot! McLaren 720S Spider

Dec 30, 2018, 9:23 AM Happy New Year! We kick off the year with a 'First Spot' of the McLaren 720S Spider. Those that live around Sitges or Tarragona have the luck that McLaren is testing their new cars on the L'Albornar test track. And when the test driver spend the night in nearby Sitges or Tarragona, you might find one of the latest McLaren parked on the streets.

First spot: Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

Dec 25, 2018, 8:36 AM We have seen a few spy spots of a heavily camouflaged Aventador SVJ, but spotter Star80 found the first customer owned SVJ in Newport Beach, California. The new Aventador SVJ, where SV historically stands for Superveloce - meaning ‘superfast’ - takes the ‘Jota’ suffix, denoting its track and performance superiority: the Aventador SVJ has already claimed its position as the Nürburgring-Nordschleife production car record holder, completing the 20.6 km lap in just 6:44.97 minutes.

Top Spot: Aston Martin Lagonda Taraf

Dec 24, 2018, 2:50 PM This is not the first time that this car has been spotted, but it sure is a rare spot with only 200 copies built of this vehicle, most of them residing in the Middle East. Based on the brand’s almost infinitely flexible VH architecture, the new saloon draws inspiration from the highly sought-after William Towns-designed Lagonda of 1976 and features many of the same cutting-edge engineering techniques seen in modern Aston Martin sports cars.

A wolf in sheep's clothing: AMG E 63S by G-Power

Dec 24, 2018, 12:33 PM If 612 HP and 850 Nm is not enough power in your AMG E 63 S W213, you can always contact G-POWER. They are able to top this by extensively modifying the hardware and software, pushing the engine and road performance into realms otherwise reserved exclusively for super sports cars. The result: 800 HP of power and a maximum torque of a whopping 1,000 Nm, which takes the sedan to from 0-60 mph in only 3.1 seconds.

Ferrari 488 Pista spotted in black

Dec 22, 2018, 10:46 AM Red, white and silver were the colors of the Ferrari 488 Pistas spotted so far. This is the first copy in black, and we love it in this color, although some gold wheels will look even better. Ferrari is once again having a great year so far with sales numbers exceeding the already successful 2017. The first Pista cars are delivered but the majority will be picked up by the lucky owners in 2019, promising another great year for Ferrari.

Spotted: M5 F90 in a gorgeous color finish

Dec 21, 2018, 12:30 PM This blue finish on the M5 is called Atlantis Blue, a color offered by the BMW Individual program, and man it looks great! BMW's Ultimate Driving Machine is fitted with the latest version of the 4.4-liter V8 engine with M Twin Power Turbo Technology. An output of 600 hp and a maximum torque of 750 Nm guarantee supreme propulsion and phenomenal driving performance: the V8 biturbo engine accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.

Top Spot: Aston Martin V8 Shooting Brake

Dec 19, 2018, 9:27 AM The Shooting Brake is not new for Aston Martin. With the arrival of the Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, it will be the second shooting brake by the Britsh brand. The 1996 Aston Martin V8 Sportsman Estate Car, one of only three created, originally converted to its shooting brake format at Aston Martin Works. The rather unique and bespoke Aston Martin exchanged hands in 2017 for an incredible $425,000 (£337,500).

McLaren 720S Spider will be ready for the Summer

Dec 18, 2018, 8:43 PM The news is already a couple of weeks old, but still in time for the Summer! With the Winter officially starting in 2 days, the top will stay down for those living in States and Countries where cold temperatures, snow and salty roads are just around the corner. But for the ones that are looking for an 'open' car for the Summer of 2019, McLaren is expanding its Super Series product family with the introduction the new 720S Spider.

Movie: the story behind the crash on the Ring at 246 km/u (153 mp/h)

Dec 12, 2018, 2:47 PM Sometime ago we noticed a movie online of a Porsche GT3 crashing on the Ring. We were curious to hear and see what the story was behind the driver and the accident. So here is the story told by the driver himself, while he is behind the steering wheel of his other Porsche, a yellow GT3 RS. He describes to us all the details why the accident happened and the aftermath.
