Finance firm reveals monthly costs for most in-demand supercars

Specialist premium car finance provider JBR Capital has revealed the ten cars from the Geneva International Motor Show for which it has received the most finance enquiries – and the costs for potential buyers.

JBR offers finance to private owners and businesses for classic, prestige and racing cars, lending as much as £10m for the purchase of highly specialised machines. The recent Geneva show included several manufacturers unveiling extremely high-end vehicles, including Nurburgring lap record holders, contenders to be the world's fastest car and limited production racing cars.

The car most enquiries centered on was the Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder. This convertible version of Lamborghini's V10 roadgoing track toy would cost £238,000 if you showed up with cash in hand. JBR's finance calculations showed it could be yours for 48 monthly payments of £2,625.81, with a £23,800 deposit and a final payment of £142,800.

The cheapest car in the top ten was Porsche's 911 GT3 RS. It's no longer the fastest 911 in the stable, but it does have the most powerful non-turbo engine Porsche has ever made, with 513bhp. That would require a payment of £1,561.61 each month for four years, with a £14,200 deposit and £85,200 final payment. It was the third most popular car in JBR's list, just behind the Ferrari 488 Pista, a race-car derived version of the 488 which would cost you £2,485.47 a month.

By far the most expensive on the list is the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro. This is a pure racer – a more hardcore version of the Valkyrie, jointly developed by Aston Martin and the Red Bull Racing F1 team. Using a 1,000bhp Cosworth V12 and hybrid energy recovery systems, each of the 25 AMR Pro cars should hit 225mph, and reach 200mph in under ten seconds. The cash price is £3m, but JBR's finance package is a more reasonable £25,972 each month – or the price of a Toyota GT86 every month for four years.

The most unusual car on the list is the Corbellati Missile. Although ranking fifth in JBR's most enquired about vehicles, it has no list price yet. The 9.0-litre, V8 car is made by an Italian family better known for art and jewellery, but with an estimated top speed of 310mph it could be the fastest car ever made, if it reaches production. With no idea how much it will cost, JBR doesn't give a finance deal just yet.

Porsche workers snap up bonuses of nearly 10,000 euros

Workers at German sports cars maker Porsche are pocketing bonuses of up to nearly 10,000 euros. German luxury carmaker Porsche on Wednesday said it would pay workers a special bonus of up to 9,656 euros ($11,800) each to celebrate a record year, even as the industry grapples with a series of scandals. Porsche said it wanted to reward staff for "the most successful year in the company's history" after it delivered a record 246,000 vehicles in 2017, boosting revenues by five percent to 23.5 billion euros. The payout will consist of a gross bonus of 8,600 euros plus a 700-euro contribution to staff pension schemes, Porsche said. On top of that, workers will receive a one-off payout of 356 euros to mark the 70th anniversary of the Porsche 356 sports car. Some 23,000 of the nearly 30,000 people it employed by the end of last year would be eligible for the bonuses, the company said in a statement. "Porsche employees deserve every cent of the bonus,"...

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Launched

A month after showcasing the MY 2018 Land Cruiser Prado at the Auto Expo, Toyota has silently launched it in India at a price of Rs 92.60 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). For roughly Rs 3.74 lakh more than the outgoing model, the Prado now gets cosmetic updates inside and out, and a whole lot of features and tech. The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado now looks more handsome than before, losing the droopy headlights for simple but smart looking ones that mimic those on the larger LC200. The grille is also petite, as compared to the older car, and has been raised to increase the Pradoâ€™s water wading capability by up to 0.7 metres, claims Toyota. The bonnet slants gently to improve visibility from the inside, while the bumpers are fitted with new LED fog lamps. There are no changes to the sides, even the 18-inch alloy wheels have been carried over. At the back, the taillamps have the same design as the older model but get new LED elements, while the rear bumper design ha...

Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe and cabriolet revealed ahead of New York

Mercedes-Benz has revealed the facelifted C-Class coupé and cabriolet ahead of their planned public debut at next week’s New York motor show. The appearance of the reworked two-door C-Class models follows the unveiling of the facelifted four-door C-Class saloon and estate at the recent Geneva motor show. Along with some predictably subtle exterior styling tweaks and upgraded interior appointments, they have a series of midlife mechanical changes, including a more powerful engine in the four-wheel-drive C43 4Matic. That model retains the same turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine used by the predecessor saloon, estate, coupé and cabriolet models, but gains an additional 23bhp (to 386bhp) while running the same 383lb ft of torque as before. Despite the increase in power for the new C43 4Matic, though, Mercedes-AMG quotes the same 0-62mph and top speed figures as the outgoing model at a respective 4.7sec and limited 155mph. Al...
