EDITORIAL
This week, we've a glimpse of a couple of new models due for launch over the next few months. You'll have to wait a while for the Porsche Panamera (a car with an elephantine gestation period), but the Mercedes–Benz ConceptFASCINATION will be there for all to see at the Paris Motor Show in just two weeks' time.
It will be a foretaste of the company's forthcoming E–Class styling, and I like it. Returning to the other Stuttgart manufacturer, I find the prospect of a front–engined V8 Porsche, again, an enticing one, having spent last weekend behind the wheel of one of the most surprising cars — similarly powered — on the road.
Watch out for a full report in ClassicInside next week, where we'll also have a complete run–down on this weekend's Goodwood Revival, the world's finest historic race meeting.

This was one of only 4 cars to be built by the factory as DFV cars. Although raced at Le Mans and 1000km races, these cars were also used as sprint and hillclimb cars in Europe which make them ideal for our relatively short events.
