			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you see drivers such as Petter Solberg, Mikko Hirvonen and Sebastien Loeb driving their WRC rally cars it looks oh so easy. Very rarely do you get to realise how on the limit they are driving their rally cars, and how small the difference is between winning, and falling off the track.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=273&amp;awinaffid=77871&amp;clickref=RallyDriving&amp;p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buyagift.co.uk%2FCategory%2FId%2F581%2FName%2FRally_driving" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.awin1.com');" title="Rally Driving" target="_blank">Rally driving</a> is an exhilarating driving experience, and you can have a go yourself from less than fifty pounds at one of the specialist arenas. Feel what driving a rally car is really like on a variety of surfaces, understanding how a car feels on the limit and just generally have a laugh in a rally car, rally driving at one of these events is a &#8220;must do&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ferrari are the ultimate automotive brand in modern day culture - with the prestige and history of the cars they make along with the motorsport pedigree from Formula One, the modern day Ferrari has everything. And if you want to experience all of that, then <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/"  title="Ferrari Hire">Ferrari hire</a> is for you! SCR Supercar Hire offer three Ferrari&#8217;s for hire, the <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/ferrari-f430-coupe.html"  title="Ferrari F430 Hire in Red">F430 Coupe in red</a>, the <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/ferrari-f430-coupe-black.html"  title="Ferrari F430 Hire in Black">F430 Coupe in black</a>, and the <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/ferrari-f430-spider.html"  title="Ferrari F430 Spider Hire">F430 Spider in red</a>. All three are fantastic variations of the F430, the car which has evolved from the 355 through the 360 Modena into the technological masterpiece it is today.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/img/ferrarif430med.jpg" title="Ferrari F430" alt="Ferrari F430" align="right" height="126" width="225" />Ferrari&#8217;s have the best exhaust noise around (to my ears anyway, followed closely by the <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/aston-martin-v8vantage-roadster.html"  title="Aston Martin V8 Vantage Hire">Aston Martin V8 Vantage</a>!), so the opportunity to drive any of these is special. If you want to hear that noise even more intensely, then the F430 Spider is the car for you, with the soft top down and the sun (sometimes!) shining on you. If you would rather the coupe version of the F430 we can also cater for that, and in one of two colours. The traditional Ferrari red F430 is always popular as you can imagine, but sometimes you want something which looks different, and for those occasions we can offer an F430 in black.</p>
<p>The F430 looks very menacing in black, also quite &#8220;stealth&#8221;, and it is perfect to make a more discreet initial arrival before people hear the fantastic engine again. With these cars costing upwards of £135k new they are out of the reach of many of <img src="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/img/ferrarif430-detail-small.jpg" title="F430 Wing Mirror" alt="F430 Wing Mirror" align="left" height="96" width="108" />us to purchase, but hiring them for a weekend or a week is affordable. Take a week off work and hire one of these and have more fun than a week in a cheap Spanish hotel! Or maybe you have a wedding to go to and want to make a real impression - then any Ferrari you take is the right choice!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/contact.html"  title="Contact Us">Get in touch with us</a> today for Ferrari Hire and see what we can do for you to make your <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk"  title="Supercar Hire">supercar hire</a> experience the best one possible for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Say it aint so! A supercar cannot and will not be powered by diesel fuel - or so my thought was until recently. The noisy clatter on startup, the black smoke that pours out of the exhausts, the narrow power band and the &#8220;cheapskate&#8221; view meant that it just wouldn&#8217;t fit in the glorious world of supercars. </p>
<p>However, when Audi won at Le Mans using diesel power, the world started to take note that there might be something in this, and that if the misconceptions could be got past that this could be an alternative. And coming later this year, Audi will try to tempt the public with a V12 diesel version of its supercar, the Audi R8. The positives are that you still have a cracking looking supercar, but one that will cost less to run on a day to day basis. But surely that defeats the whole point of having a supercar - the people who can afford to spend 100k on a car aren&#8217;t the sort that are worried about a few MPG here or there. But they also probably didn&#8217;t get to where they are without having some nouse, and if spending less on fuel means you can invest your money elsewhere more usefully then surely that makes sense?</p>
<p>I think we&#8217;re going to have to wait until this hits the road and road tests show how it shapes up against the petrol version of the car. I certainly won&#8217;t be rushing to buy one as I can&#8217;t get past the noise and clatter of a diesel engine right now. In a &#8220;normal&#8221; day to day car they are fine, but leave my supercars alone..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Lamborghini Gallardo has been a very successful car for the Italian company. Squaring off with the Ferrari F430, the input of Audi on the company has meant this is a supercar that can be used every day and it was very good at doing that. However, it has been around since 2003 and it was time for an upgrade, despite the fact that we think the original still looks very very good and up to date! The new look doesn&#8217;t differ too much as you can see in the image below, but it does look &#8220;edgier&#8221; and we like it for that.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00295/gallardo_295739a.jpg" align="middle" height="255" width="385" /></p>
<p>Power has been upped from 513 to 552 bhp, which will give a sub 4 second 0-60 time, going onto a claimed top speed of 202mph - truly stunning. Ok, so it won&#8217;t be cheap at £130,000 especially compared to the <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/audi-r8.html"  title="Audi R8 Hire">Audi R8</a> which comes from essentially the same company, but this will be an amazing car to drive and own!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">Listing every new supercar coming out in 2008 would be a difficult job, but we can try to pick out some of the key things happening and give them to you in bitesize chunks!</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">Aston Martin DBS</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">Ok, so this was actually released in 2007, but this year will probably be the first chance that you get to see these cars on the road. Meaner and edgier looking than the <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/aston-martin-db9.html"  title="Aston Martin DB9 Hire"><span style="text-decoration: underline">DB9</span></a>, the waiting list for one of these is unsurprisingly a couple of years long, but keep an eye out as they do look special!</span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.astonmartin.com/content%5Callsites%5Cimages%5CDBS258_dadbd50d-59be-43a0-933e-23749375c6d4.jpg" height="224" width="492" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">Audi R8 V10</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">A R8 was huge success when it was launched last year, Audi hope to improve on the R8 abilities by slotting in an engine similar to that in the &#8217;sister&#8217; <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/lamborghini-gallardo.html"  title="Gallardo hire">Gallardo</a>. This should help its pure speed, and improve on giving the car the real feel of a supercar. Supercars should either make you feel ten years old again (<a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/lamborghini-murcielago-roadster.html"  title="LP640 Hire"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Murcielago</span></a>), or really special (<a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/aston-martin-db9-volante.html"  title="DB9 Volante Hire"><span style="text-decoration: underline">DB9</span></a>), and the R8 does neither in our opinion. However, give a car real speed and proper handling and it will still give you the feel you need. Also, they have excellent reviews from most of the press and there is no doubt that it is an unbelievable first effort of a supercar by Audi.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB"><strong>Koenigsegg CCXR</strong><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">This car is a real monster, and one I fully expect to beat the record on the TopGear track with the stig at the helm! 1018 bhp, and a lightweight body improve what was already a mightily impressive &#8216;hypercar&#8217;, although not something you will see everyday. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve even seen a &#8216;normal&#8217; CCR on the roads, such is the exclusivity of them. One for the super rich to enjoy and stand out in!</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">Ferrari</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana" lang="EN-GB">You can&#8217;t have a year go by without something impressive coming out of the Fiorano factory, and this year will be no different. They should release the new Ferrari Dino, of which there aren&#8217;t any images of at the moment. The &#8216;base&#8217; Ferrari has got slowly more expensive since the days of the 355, through the <a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/ferrari-f360-spider.html"  title="Ferrari 360 Hire"><span style="text-decoration: underline">360</span></a> to the <span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="http://www.supercarrental.co.uk/ferrari-f430-coupe.html"  title="F430 Coupe">Ferrari 430</a></span>, and this should help redress the balance a little bit. It will go head to head with the Aston Martin V8 Vantage which is a tough ask, but we have little doubt that this will be an absolute scream of a car!</span></p>
<p>The very best of these new cars will of course be available to hire from SCR Supercar Hire!</p>
