Demo car | Mazda RX-8

IN Mazda, Borla®, Purple, RX-8

New to the Burnpavement garage is a sexy Mazda RX-8. Finished in deep purple, this rotary-powered coupé will double up as a demo car for our Borla® exhaust systems set to arrive in 2 weeks.


Disc brakes are fitted to all wheels, with ventilated discs and Brembo double piston, fixed calipers at the front. Suspension is derived from a tried and tested Abarth configuration with the front provided by independent McPherson struts, while rear suspension is semi-independent with a torsion bar. Abarth has also fitted a larger anti-roll bar together with front springs that are 20% harder than those of a standard suspension system.

IN Mazda, MX5, Roadster, Deep dish, Wheels

Yup, you read that correctly, ZERO offset! The Miata is known to be a 'girly' car, so we decided to add more muscle to the car with these wide wheels.

Edo Competition Ferrari California

German tuner Edo Competition has a dark horse, almost literally, in this manifestation of a black powered-up Ferrari California.


Just 599 cars will be built, each powered by an uprated version of the Enzo-derived 6.0-litre V12 engine. Power is up from 612bhp to 661bhp, while weight tumbles from 1,690kg to 1,605kg, allowing the GTO to sprint from 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds – 0.3 seconds faster than before – and hit a top speed in excess of 208mph.

The Car! Mazda Miata MX-5 1.6M

IN MX-5, Silver, Roadster, Convertible

No car retains its value as well as an MX5. With good reason too - It's superbly fun and satisfying to drive, turns heads with the top up or down, and is painless to maintain. So we bought one.


Even though the 1 series is really like a squashed 3 series - some angles are still rather handsome.
