Very nice article about V8 grand tourers, including also our Shark, I picked up the magazine yesterday.

I had the pleasure of meeting and talking a decent amount of time over several days with Peter Falk, as part of the Euro 2014 meeting in Germany - which he attended as special guest of honor for all it's days then. Such a gentleman: full of knowledge, while being completely down to earth and very humble.

Great article thanks for sharing, would love to know the issues they discovered during testing and what they did to fix them.

I wish they'd continued the styling shown on the 4th page, middle picture of the silver car.

I like how they swooped inward the rear-hatch giving the car some 'hips' over the rear-wheels shaped similar to the front fenders, making it look much slimmer and trimmer.

The silver car also has more rounded fender wells which I like much better than the current squared ones.

The Lapland photo is really cool, would be nice to get a high-res reprint of the original image.

Yes, a true gentleman. I also talked with him during dinner. I brought along the book "Project 928" and he was kind enough to sign the pages with his picture on it. Leaving me a very happy man as you can see. Later on he also signed my intake cover I brought along in a shopper bag just in case...
