I know this may not be real life but it makes me smile and I’m willing to bet Ty Burrell (Phil from Modern Family) secretly is a Porsche guy. I’ve got no clue what he really drives but I’d like to find out so that is on my to-do list for the week.
Either way this week he apparently picks up a 964 without talking it over with his wife.
As if she didn’t have enough already, Tamara Ecclestone has also added a brand new white Bentley Continental GT to her collection. Tamara was recently spotted filling up the tank (in 5 inch heels) at a station in Chelsea.
According to Tamara’s twitter account a few days ago (after this photo was taken) her Bentley was actually vandalized. In what way, we don’t really know but this is what she wrote on her Twitter page: “What kind of a sick society do we live in where you can’t park your car on the street because some horrible little b*****d will vandalise it.”
No comment.

Brian Austin Green was recently spotted running around Hollywood in his black Range Rover Sport.
Last weeks Guess Who was Ryan Phillippe walking back to his Lexus LS Hybird.
Our friend Brett Burk from Vanity Fair recently sat down with Victoria Beckham to talk cars, design, life with David, her very first car and more. Since 2010, Victoria has been a creative design executive for Land Rover. Just recently, her Special Edition Range Rover Evoque with Victoria Beckham was finally unveiled. Each car will come with a matte-gray finish with glossy black accents and baseball-stitched leather interior.
This is definitely one Evoque we could get used to! The car even comes with a four-piece black-leather luggage set. Victoria definitely has style.
Here’s a glimpse at the Q&A between Brett and Victoria:
Brett Berk: Why is the Range Rover Evoque the right choice for a Victoria Beckham special edition?
Victoria Beckham: I’ve driven a Range Rover for as long as I can remember, and I have a lot of respect for Range Rover as a brand and for their heritage. So I think it feels very natural. I think that people will look at the car, and they’ll obviously see Range Rover, but they’ll also see me. It looks like me. I joked the other day—I had a matte-black crocodile structured handbag with me, and I looked at the bag and I looked at the car, and I said, “The car looks like a bag on wheels.” It’s very me. It’s very, very me.
Tell me about the rose-gold accents on the car. What inspired you to use that material?
I love rose gold. Where it initially came from was that my husband bought me a rose-gold men’s Rolex for my birthday, and at the same time, I’d used rose gold with some of my accessories for a collection, and I just thought, Hey, let’s just put a little rose-gold element behind the car. And I was adamant—I didn’t want this car to be seen as super-girly. I wanted it to be a car that I want to drive, and I wanted it to be a car that David wants to drive as well. Everything that I do has quite a masculine feel about it. Though the clothes I design are very feminine, they also have a very strong masculine feel about them. I’m feminine, but I wouldn’t say that I’m girly in any way at all.
One of the ways that we can chart the various stages in a person’s life is through their cars. So tell me about your cars. What was your first car?
My first-ever car, my parents bought me a red Fiat Uno. I was 17 and just so happy to have a car, so I was very fortunate that my parents were in a position to get me one—it was a secondhand car, but I was just so happy to have it. And my mum, to make it extra special for me, sprayed the hubcaps red.
Matching accessories.
Absolutely. And definitely an . . . acquired taste.
Scott Disick and his son, Mason were spotted in NYC recently with a Rolls Royce. It looks like Mason already knows how to roll like a stud. We have to wonder if Mason will ever even know what the inside of a minivan looks like.
Rod Stewart waved to the paparazzi as he walked back to his Range Rover. This is definitely one color we don’t see celebrities with very often. Would you buy a Rover in this color?
Jay Leno made a pit stop at an L.A. gas station to fill up his V12 Jaguar XKE this weekend.
Jack Osbourne’s due to be a dad any day now but that didn’t stop him from swinging by the Ferrari dealership to pickup a brand new Ferrari California recently. The California’s nice but it’s sure not as nice as his dad’s 458 Italia.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher, J.C. Romero recently picked up his new BMW X6M from the guys over at Rennen International/Donz Wheels. The ‘Chapo’ wheels are from Donz Monoforged Series and the 22” monoblocks are staggered at 22×10.5 and 22×12. They are finished with a gloss black face, color match BMW red windows and highlighted with BMW center caps. This is one eye catching X6M that’s for sure. The X6M is definitely one of those love it or hate it kind of rides though.
What do you think of Romero’s ride?
Solange Knowles was recently spotted leaving Beyonce and Jay-Z’s NYC apartment and hopping into a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.
Looks like former NFL wide receiver, Hines Ward is doing a little spring cleaning. Ward recently put his house up for sale and now he’s getting rid of his 2009 Aston Martin DBS. Check out the full eBay listing and more photos here
**Update** (thanks to Andrew) Hines is also selling his white Mercedes-Benz S550 (find photo below). We also heard that he recently sold his house so maybe he’s leaving the country? So basically you can just live like Hines and pick up his house, his DBS and his S550. Who knows what else he’s selling…

Hockey star, Teemu Selänne doesn’t just play hockey — he collects cars too. He’s known not only for his talent on the ice but for his love of cars too. It’s been said that he has over 23 cars between here in the states and in Finland. Sadly, we don’t have photos off Selänne’s entire collection but here is a photo of his black Ferrari F430 Scuderia as well as a video (for all our Finnish speaking readers out there). If you don’t know Finnish you can still drool over the car…

Here is the latest evidence that proves that the guys from studio “Vilner” are able to transform everything wheeled into something luxurious and even the rugged Land Rover Defender is no exception with its new facelift. The specialised Bulgarian tuning company has transformed this Land Rover into something special.
The interior of the vehicle has been covered in dark brown and black Nappa and Alcantara leather. The leather features on the doors, the dashboard, the new sport seats, the grips on the headliner and the sun visor. Alacantra even appears on the exterior covering the rear view mirror and the third brake light.
According to Vilner, the direction in which to take the floor, “was an eccentric decision” with wooden floor panels fitted to create a unique feature.
The Vilner Sound System ensures it entertains passengers – a multimedia system with the power of 600w and the installation of 15-inch LCD screens connected to the DVD-player. In order to ensure maximum sound without disturbing other drivers on the road, the car’s cab has been fully soundproofed.

The latest version of the Ferrari California that was launched at the Geneva Motor Show has now been filmed taking a spin out on the hills of Maranello in Italy.
This the very place where Ferrari engineers developed and test drove the new vehicle which is an updated version of the California with a more powerful engine and “new ‘Handling Speciale’ suspension package”.
The video provides a good idea of the “sound of the car’s new V-8 engine, which still displaces 4.3 litres but now develops 490 horsepower and 373 pound-feet of torque. That’s a rise of 30 horsepower and 26 pound-feet over the previous model, courtesy of revised exhaust manifolds and ECU tuning”.
In addition the torque curve is now higher across the engine’s rev range.
In terms of speed, the new engine jumps from 0 – 60mph in just 3.8 seconds, 0.2 seconds less than the previous model’s 4.0 seconds.
As mentioned, the new ‘Handling Speciale’ package includes Magnetorheological dampers controlled by an even faster ECU running patented Ferrari software, stiffer springs for more precise body control and faster turn-in with smaller steering wheel angles.
Ferrari has also made sure that the vehicle looks as good as it handles with even more choices of colours to choose from developed by the Ferrari Styling Center with three-layer paint and two-tone finishes.

Looks like Flo Rida decided to join the celebrity band wagon with this new matte grey Ferrari 458 Italia. The 458 is definitely a hit with lots of celebrities including, Kim Kardashian, Valentino Rossi, Ozzy Osbourne, Simon Cowell, The Dream, Mesut Ozil and many others.
Flo Rida recently posted this photo on his Facebook page. Hopefully he doesn’t get busted by the cops in this one like he did in his Bugatti. What do you think of the matte grey?

Professional motorcycle racer, Valentino Rossi recently received a brand new Ferrari 458 Italia as a gift from Ferrari. Rossi was spotted with the brand new 458 at Monza track in Italy. Guess it really pays off to be a multiple MotoGP World Champion.
Notice the license plate is 046VR for his bike number and his initials.
Sean Penn left his Mustang at home for the day and took his Nissan Titan out instead. Sean was spotted filling up the tank at a gas station in Los Angeles recently. Lets just hope that cigarette isn’t actually lit.
22-year-old fitness entrepreneur, Hamid Castro was recently spotted with his Audi R8 and his Lamborghini Gallardo. We have to wonder what Biggest Loser trainers Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince drive. Better start working on your fitness so you can get an R8 too…
Nissan is beginning a series of videos that will chronicle the step-by-step development of the Deltawing, an experimental racecar project.
The video below, is the first in the series and features the car’s preparations before, during and after its 3000 mile trip to the Windshear wind tunnel facility in Charlotte, North Carolina in the U.S.
The Deltawing is scheduled for its European test to begin next week in preparation for its debut at the Le Mans 24 hour race in June. The vehicle will be competing outside race classifications.
It uses a Nissan sourced 1.6-litre DIG-T (Direct Injection Gasoline – Turbocharged) engine that generates 300hp (224 kW / 304 PS) and will feature technology that will eventually find its way into the brand’s street legal cars.
