Drifting during Hurricane Sandy

At this time, the feared hurricane Sandy is hitting the american east coast, most of all the city of New York. Meanwhile the population is preparing to face the emergency by leaving the city or barricading in their houses, it's fun to see how certain petrolheads use the empty and wet streets, even more fun to see that the action has been caught on camera during a live news report!

The american tuning company Centro 911 is author of an incredible modification made on a Porsche 997 Carrera S Convertible making it a sort of a german McLaren F1, with the result of a single center seat Porsche 911.

Mansory Aventador spotted



The unique, highly customized Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 by Mansory has been spotted in Middle East (where else?), more precisely at Dubai Mall, in good company of a Ferrari 599 GTO and a Lamborghini LP670-4 SV. The german tuner Mansory has done a incredible tuning work on this supercar, and it looks superb if you ask me.

Remember when I had the opportunity to see it in detail at Geneva Motor Show:

Insane Agera to come!

The following rendering show how a new Koenigsegg Agera will come out the swedish factory. It looks like that the chinese owner wasn't satisfied at all about the 940hp of the standard Agera. Indeed, the 5.0 V8 engine of this custom Agera will produce 1400hp! The incredible power, which makes the most powerful Koenigsegg ever made, it's adapted with an improved aerodynamics. Price and official specs haven't been released yet, but it's sure that they will have both incredible numbers!

F430 vs Veyron



Have you wondered to see a Veyron being driven fast? Most of the owners don't really push it to the limit, which is a pity since it's one of the fastest cars ever made. There's a dutch Bugatti Veyron that is quite often on automotive events and it's driven properly, the following video was taken during the " The Autumn Drive ", an event organised on a closed military to give the opportunity of supercars owners to push their cars (legally) to the limit! The video was taken inside a Ferrari F430 racing against the Veyron. Of course all we know the Veyron can humiliate the Ferrari easily, but how much faster is it with twice the power of the F430?

Veyron Vitesse Grand Sport " Rafale "

Bugatti has showed up for the first time in South America, more precisely in Brazil, the Veyron Grand Sport. To celebrate the event, they have showed up a special edition called Rafale. The car is finished in a light grey paintjob, a chrome line divides the grey from the blue roof, meanwhile the interior, a concentration of blue alcantara and leather, is finished also with blue carbon fibre. Just to refresh your mind, the Veyron Vitesse is the world's fastest convertible ever made, its 8.0L W16 engine produces 1200hp, that's enough to move it from 0 to 60mph in just 2.6s with a top speed of 255mph.

Audi S3 Crashes at Nürburgring

You know, the Nürburgring is one of the most dangerous racetracks in the world. I have driven there and it's an awesome experience, but if you don't have enough driving skills, you have to be very careful. To me, one of the most tricky parts of the track is certainly Brünnchen, where most of the drivers crash because they come too fast and with the understeer they finish against the barriers. This corner this time has claimed a white Audi S3, the accident has been so brutal that the car has been lifted from the ground.

Very Close Call



It doesn't happen often to survive to an high speed crash, but the following video shows how the driver of a racing truck crashes at 118mph, and incredibly, even if with many injuries, he survives. The protagonist of this close call is Diumar Bueno, driver of the Brazilian Formula Truck Series. He was coming at high speed from the main straight when the brakes of the truck stopped to work. He drove into the grass trying to slow the vehicle, but it crashes against the barriers and ends the drive in the vegetation below.

2013 Lamborghini SuperTrofeo revealed

During the  Lamborghini Blancpain SuperTrofeo race held in Navarra, Spain, Lamborghini has showed up the 2013 Lamborghini LP570-4 SuperTrofeo that we will see in the next year's championship.


The car is based on the current SuperTrofeo, but it features important modifications. The first thing you may notice is the look, even the racecar version had a restyling just like the 2013 Gallardo LP560-4 we have seen in Paris a couple of weeks ago. The aerodynamics has been improved and now the SuperTrofeo offers much more grip and downforce.


Even the brakes have been improved, Lamborghini has worked on a new cooling system that offers a +50% of improvement if compared to the old one, that means that now the brakes last more and you can brake more. Last but not least, we find also a slight 10kg of lightening.


The power is unchanged, it features the same 5.2L V10 engine of the LP570-4 Superleggera and produces 570hp.

Double Ferrari Crash

Two Ferraris taking part of a convoy had a massive crash on the wet chinese highway in Northwest China. More precisely, the accident involved a 458 Spider and a California, they collided each other at high speed by causing a lot of damages. Incredible to see how important parts of the cars such as the engine of the 458 and the wheels of the California have been teared away several metres. Luckily, there aren't reports of injuries.

The Alfa 4C is coming!

If there's a car that we are waiting with enthusiasm and impatiente, it's certainly the Alfa Romeo 4C. The concept car has been presented at Geneva Motor Show back in 2011, then the car has been displaied in several motor shows, but we've never heard about testing or official specs. Finally, we see the prototype in the wild for some testing in Turin, Italy. The debut of the final production vehicle should take place in the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, its production will be supported in the Maserati factory in Modena. This little sporty Alfa reminds me the Lotus cars, it will be light (less than 900kg) and with a little but powerful 1.7L turbo engine with 250hp, this car will be a success!


This video was taken in May while car was on display at Concorso d'Eleganza of Villa D'Este.

Terrible GT2 RS Crash

A frightening accident took place in America involving a red Porsche 997 GT2 RS. The car has been crashed at 160mph (250kph) against a truck on public streets just a few hours after the delivery to the new owner. There aren't any other infos about the crash, but it's hard for me to believe that the driver is still alive, the pictures are just shocking to see.

The Edo Competition Ferrari Enzo is loud!

The Ferrari Enzo by Edo Competition is an extreme version that reminds us the Ferrari FXX, but in a street legal version. The power of the 6.3L V12 engine has been raised up to 950hp and it looks like an FXX. If you remember, the car had a bad accident, back in 2011 during the Targa Newfoundland rally, and so the car came back to Germany for a complete fix, now the car is ready and has been spotted in the german autobahn, impossible not to be noticed with an exhaust like that!

Another Rally accident

It's common to see an accident during a rally event, but this one could have ended really badly. During the 2012 Saaremaa Rally held in Estonia, a Mitsubishi EVO driven by Evgeny Rogov lost the traction in the corner at 180kph by going offroad into the crowd. 10 people have been injured, one of those seriously that had to be moved to the hospital with an helicopter.

Petrol vs Electric

The new Tesla Model S has been placed next to a BMW M5 F10, side by side for an interesting drag race? Who's gonna win? The M5 has a 4.4L twin turbo V8 engine that produces 560hp and 500nm, the Model S has an electric engine that produces 416hp and 600nm, but on the contrary of the petrol engine, here you find the maximum power and torque at every revs.

SLS Black Series Test Mule on fire

Recently a testing mule of the upcoming Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series caught on fire at Nürburgring, the main place where nowadays most of the automotive factories test their cars. The accident took place in the main straight during an hard testing session, pretty dangerous location if you consider in that point, there are supercars that can even touch a top speed of 300kph. Luckily the driver and passenger didn't suffered any injuries.

Nascar Demolition Derby

If there's a race series with always a great (and incredible) amount of crashes, that's certainly Nascar. The oval track makes it difficult to avoid a car that is crashing, and quite often multiple Nascar cars are involved in accidents, but this one is really incredible because during the last lap of the race held at Talladega, a car has involved 24 more Nascar cars into a massive accident, that luckily hasn't caused injuries.

The german owner of this yellow Porsche 997 Carrera 4S must have learnt an important lesson after this; never leave your car unattended with the keys inside! While paying inside the gas station, a BMW stopped next to the Porsche, and its passenger went inside the car and drove away with the Porsche, not a very smart move for the thief (the cameras have filmed the scene) and for the unlucky owner of the Porsche.

This is it, the Zonda 764 Passione!

The moment we wanted to avoid, probably has arrived. Back in 2011, when the Pagani Huayra has been shown to the world, Pagani didn't stopped to build special editions of the legendary and noisy Zonda, such as the Uno and the 750LH, but now, we're going to see (for real) the very last Zonda that will come out the factory. It's called 764 Passione, and though the name Passione (that means "passion") could let you think about the car would be finished with a bright colour, even the owner of this Zonda wanted to make it look with a full naked carbon look.

Nissan GT-R Crashes
