UK radio and television personality Chris Evans is said to have bagged one of the rarest Ferraris ever. A 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, one of only 36 ever built between 1962 and 1963, is said to have finally landed in the DJ’s garage. Apparently he has been searching for one for many years and even came very close to a purchase 15 years ago. Yesterday he posted a photo on Twitter alongside the caption “the new one has arrived”, thus confirming his latest acquisition.
Reports say 44 year-old Evans shelled out a cool £12 million (US$17.7 million) for the classic sports car. What he paid for includes history, an aluminium 3.0-litre V12 engine with 216kW (290bhp/ 294PS) at 8,000 rpm, as well as rear-wheel-drive.
It will probably park alongside other Ferraris the man keeps at his place, including a Nero Black 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder that once belonged to actor James Coburn.

The Subaru Impreza Concept fuses a sleek form that exudes dynamism and elegance with a roomy and rich four-seat interior that expresses a safe and comfortable ride. The car suggests an advanced design for Subaru by using a sporty and lively four-door coupe style.

The front design, seen in combination with the traditional hawk eye-style headlights, this striking, unique design presents a front face instantly recognizable as a Subaru. A fin-shaped fog lamp is also featured in the front bumper. Following on the Subaru wing motif, it gives an even fresher expression of the Subaru identity.
The rear design, the rear lights create a sharp impression, with an edged design that stretches to the body side and joins with the body character line. For the diffusers on the underside of the rear bumper and the rear deck, Subaru has employed a design that capitalizes on aerodynamic characteristics with satisfying environmental friendliness.
The high-luster silver aluminum wheels use a 10-spoke design consisting of five sturdy spokes that evoke the powerful AWD driving experience and five thin spokes that evoke the lightness of the Impreza. Carbon fins garnish the circumference of the spokes, demonstrating their brake-cooling performance. The exterior color is “Sky Silver.” This bluish silver suggests an airplane in flight.
This dynamic shape of Subaru Impreza Concept’s interior brings together the instrument panel with the door trim and armrests, and speaks to the driving pleasure that is expected from Subaru. The roomy platinum-leather four-seat layout enfolds occupants. The leather was chosen to fit in with the interior color motif and give passengers the impression of urbanity and coolness. Dark blue piping and double stitching was used in the interior. The upper part is of a light platinum color, while the lower part is shade darker.
In interior is equipment more features information and entertainment. Three different displays – one each for navigation, car audio and vehicle information. The sporty steering wheel and A monitor in the combination meter displays video from the EyeSight Stereo Camera.
The Subaru Impreza Concept is powered by a next-generation Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine with improved environmental friendliness. The combination of the 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated Boxer engine with a Lineartronic (CVT) represents Subaru’s next-generation powertrain.

Subaru didn’t reveal its version during the Tokyo show but instead leaving all the glory to the Toyota. Subaru’s version is expected to have debut release next year.



It is a proper sports-car platform, though the suspension fundamentals are familiar from the Legacy. The engine is a Subaru boxer 2.0-liter four with a Toyota head unit, normally aspirated to keep the price low but with direct gas injection.
