Ford Transit special
We don’t tend to concentrate too much on vans here at Smoked Out, however, the Ford Transit makes an exception. Why? Well, it’s right up there in the with the Mini and Volkswagen Beetle as motoring icons, driven by hoodlems, the workforce and plod.For the last 45 years over six million have been sold, over two million of those here in the UK. So to celebrate this motoring load-lugger, Ford has released a special edition version called the 'Sapphire'. It comes equipped with air-conditioning, front fog lights, tinted-windows, electric windows, CD player with MP3 connector and cruise control, while cosmetic changes include a cool paint job, and special bodyside mouldings and wheel covers. Only 1,150 are available in short, medium and long wheelbase models.

R8's been stripped out
We recently brought you news of the hardcore MTM R8 GT-3 from Germany (if you missed it, check out the supercar news round-up with Caroline in the main player). It's basically a stripped-out, hard-core, rear-wheel drive supercar. But now, Audi has officially unveiled a more performance-based version of its R8 supercar (as if it needed more power). Badged the R8 GT, it has shed 100kg from the V10’s kerb-weight. Twin the crash-diet with a 35hp performance boost – now 560hp, and there’s little doubt the GT will go like stink. 0-62mph takes just 3.6 seconds and top speed 199mph, to be precise. It retains the rear-biased four-wheel-drive system though unlike the MTM. Other tweaks include a lower and manually adjustable suspension, plastic rear windows and lighter windscreen glass. It’s very much the case of less is more - less weight, more price. The R8 GT will set you back around £40k more than the standard £143k asking price. Oh, and the UK will only get 33 versions, so if you want one, you’ll have to be quick.

Alfa unveils stunning concept
The concept train, which brought us a glimpse of cars of the future from Mercedes, BMW, Ford and Citroen, has just stopped at the Alfa Romeo station. The Italian carmaker has wowed the crowds at the Villa D’Este concourse show, by unveiling this stunning Zagato TZ3 Corsa concept car. The one-off prototype was commissioned by an Alfa Romeo collector with a penchant for Zagato’s. It’s powered by a 420hp 4.2-litre V8, basically, a tweaked version of the engine that powers the 8C competizione and is good for 0-62mph in under 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 186mph.
