Rolls Royce's new V12

Rolls Royce is known for their reluctance to talk performance numbers like the usual car manufacturers. I think their rationale is that when you can afford a Rolls, you have transcended way WAY beyond comparing with Mr Jones' ride.

Being Carbon Clad though, we HAVE to tell you the numbers for the gorgeous example above which we seen recently - a twin-turbo V-12 engine displacing 6.6L and making over 500-hp. Torque figures have not been officially revealed but is speculated to be in the vicinity of a garguantuan 533lb-ft.

Oh, the 200ex experimental car housing this new engine is not too shabby as well.

Green With Envy?

Chrome rims on lime green cars usually induce an immediate cringe from me.

But this combination somehow works for this R35, differentiating it from the usual white-paintwork-offset-with-carbonfibre-bits path that most Singapore GTRs seem to go down.

Love my car, love my tee

I'll like to announce with great delight that Singapore's leading business daily, The Business Times has featured our sister site (www.carbonclad.com) today in their Shopping section.

John Tan, my brother, marketing manager and co-founder, was interviewed.

'In the past, car lovers and motoring fans were limited to either low quality bootleg merchandise or paying through their noses for imported shirts... Carbon Clad was started to offer these people an affordable but good quality alternative when looking to buy motoring t-shirts.'

Damn, it's a happy day for us. :)
