A bit of a limited edition today with this Lamborghini Huracan Avio presented in Blu Grifo. I obviously did not spot it on the street but at the brand new Lamborghini dealership in Manchester. The Avio serie is limited to only 250 cars and is inspired by fighter jets. The Huracan has a 5.2 V10 which produces 602bhp. 0-62 takes 3.2 seconds and the top speed is 201mph or 323km/h. The Avio Huracan is available in 5 different liveries and having seen a few others, they all look pretty good!

BMW X6M 2016
A bit of a beast today with this BMW X6M. I am not a big fan of SUVs but I must admit that this one looks particularly sporty and aggressive. Under the bonnet, you get a 4.4 V8 engine with 572bhp. This means 0-62 in just 4.2 seconds and of course a limited top speed of 155mph or 250km/h, even if some reckon it could achieve around 300km/h (186mph) without the limiter.

Honda Civic Type-R 2016
A bit of an extravagant boy-racer car today with the brand-new Honda Civic GT Type-R. Huge spoiler at the back, quad-exhausts, aero body-kit and specific rims, you cannot really miss it. What is the new Type-R about? 2.0 four-cylinder VTEC turbo engine which produces 306bhp and catapults the Civic from 0-62 in 5.7 seconds and up to 167mph or 269km/h. Definitely hot-hatch race-ready!

Range Rover Overfinch 2016
The latest Ranger Rover prepared by Overfinch, spotted in Altrincham a couple of weeks ago. This is the 4.4 SDV8 engine which produces 339bhp. 0-62 takes this big 4x4 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 135mph or 217km/h. As usual, Overfinch seems to have focused on the cosmetic appearance of the car more than on the mechanical components.

The brand new Mercedes C63S AMG Coupé today. Spotted in Mercedes Stockport a couple of weeks ago. It has a 4.0 V8 Biturbo engine with 503bhp. 0-62 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed limited as usual to 155mph or 250km/h.

Dodge Challenger 2012
A bit of American muscle today with this Dodge Challenger in orange with huge wheels. I forgot to check the size of these but I'd definitely say 20 inches minimum! I spotted it a couple of weeks ago, nicely parked at the Trafford Centre! I cannot really work out what model this one is but I reckon it is the standard 3.6 V6 engine with 305bhp as the 6.4 Hemi V8 tends to have the SRT-8 badge on the front grill. So if it is the V6, we are looking at a 0-62 in about 5 seconds and a top speed of 170mph or 274km/h.

Mazda 3 MPS 2011
First Mazda on the blog and I know many of you out there will be thinking what on earth is a Mazda doing on a blog about dream cars? Well this Mazda is a bit more interesting than most of the other ones on the road as it is an MPS version of the Mazda 3. And what does that mean? The MPS badge is to a Mazda what the ST badge is to a Ford or the Gti to a Golf. Yes, it is the sporty version of the standard car. Now you do not really see many MPS cars around. The more recent versions are easy to spot because of the big scoop on the bonnet, the spoiler and the two exhaust tips at the back, not to mention bumpers and side skirts. So what is under the bonnet? It is a 2.3 four-cylinder engine which produces 256bhp so it is bound to be a pretty fast hot-hatch. 0-62mph take 6.1 seconds and the top speed is limited to 155mph or 250km/h, so not that bad for a Mazda!
