BMW offs the M6

BMW M6

At txGarage, we fancy ourselves as driving enthusiasts. Anyone who says that should acknowledge that BMW is one brand that produces some of the best driving cars out there (In their words, the Ultimate Driving Machine). The BMW M3 is an iconic car that has dominated its segment for the past 24 years and has become a benchmark for all pure drivers cars. The BMW M6, reintroduced in 2006, was easily one of our favorite GT cars. With a massive and technically genius engine and great BMW styling, this car really made its mark.
Unfortunately,  not everyone was so enthusiastic about the M6 as we were. It took a lot of criticism for it’s looks and being overly packed with technology. And now with BMW dropping its V10 powerplant in favor of a more “fuel efficient” twin-turbo V8, BMW has decided to drop the M6 all together.
We’ll miss the M6 for sure, but something also tells me that BMW has something new up its sleeve to reinvigorate – with shock and awe – the enthusiasts out there. As a goodbye to the M6, we at txGarage are looking for a generous fan that would let us shoot some video of their iconic car. Any takers?

Hennessey Venom GT

Hennessey Venom GT

Hennessey Venom GT

Our buddies at Hennessy announced a few years ago that they would be building a supercar of their own. Going from a tuning shop to producing your own supercar doesn’t happen overnight and now almost two years after their announcement they are telling us the car will be debuting at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010.

If you have been following the Venom GT you know it was supposed to be powered by the Viper V10, as Hennessey has a good relation with the Viper brand. We also heard that it would be weighing in at 2700 lbs with a 1,000 horsepower ratting. Now we are hearing a little different, but better, story. Hennessey is now saying that the Venom GT will be powered by a “Hennessey V8” the weight is down to 2400 lbs and horsepower is up to 1,200 bhp. This spectacular looking mid-engine supercar will be able to deliver the goods, but will it make a real splash within the supercar world? That we’ll just have to wait and see…

Let us know what you think!
