It seems that the latest fun in Los Angeles is chasing cars with helicopter. A Lamborghini Gallardo and a Gallardo Spyder are being chased on the Pacific Coast highway. Why? Because they were bad guys!
The guys from AutoCar had the luck to got behind the wheels of the new Ferrari 458 Italia and of course they had all the fun in the world. Check the video to see what do they think about the latest Ferrari.
Short reminder: the 458 Italia is powered by a 4.5 Liter V8 engine that delivers 570 HP at 9000 RPM. Weighing in at only 3042 pounds, the new Ferrari will rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds and won’t stop until it hits a top speed of 202 MPH.
The new Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing has already received high praises from arguably everybody in all corners of the world. We figured that Mercedes didn’t have to do anything anymore to convince anyone that their new supercar isn’t drool-worthy.
But just to be on the safe side – literally and figuratively – Mercedes recently released a new video of the new SLS AMG undergoing a series of crash test in the company’s safety labs.
In the video, the SLS AMG undergoes a series of metal-crunching crashes, including one head-on collision and another after being dropped on its roof. As you can imagine with a car that has the full support of Mercedes, the SLS AMG managed to pass the crash test with flying colors, even after being subjected to some pretty nasty s----and collisions.
We’ve already seen and heard so much about the line-up of Camaros Chevrolet brought with them to SEMA. From the 25th anniversary Hendricks Motorsport Camaro to the Havoc Camaro, Chevy really brought a smorgasbord of Camaros to satiate our wetting appetites for this car.
In this video, the designers for the four Camaros that were shown – the Synergy Camaro, the Camaro Chroma, the Camaro Dusk, and the Jay Leno Camaro – each took turns explaining the rationale behind their creations. It’s a fascinating watch so we highly recommend that you do exactly that.
As you know SEMA is all about customizing and letting your imagination free. But the guys from MotionLite went a bit too far with this! Or maybe not, depends on everyone’s taste no?
Their illumination system lights wheels from the outside, switches between seven colors, and includes strobe and morph functions.
Chevrolet’s special edition Jay Leno Camaro was unquestionably one of the highlights of the SEMA auto show in Las Vegas and rightfully so. As one of the coolest cars to hit SEMA this year, the buzz surrounding the Jay Leno Camaro was more than justified thanks in part because of the added touches Chevrolet put on it. This includes a pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers the 3.6L direct injected V-66 delivering a total of 425 hp, which if you don’t know, is around 40% more powerful than a standard Camaro LS or LT.
Here’s a video of Jay Leno himself taking a closer look at the car Chevrolet named after him.
Don’t you just love it when your car can do something other cars can only dream about doing, like, say, drive underwater?
This particular modified Hummer put its ‘swimming’ skills to the test as it drove head on into a river, completely submerging itself in the process. At one point, you can’t even see the Hummer, except for the exhaust sticking out like a snorkeling tube.
We’re pretty sure that his Hummer will come in pretty handy, especially during the wet weather season when floods begin to occur regularly.
Now if only there was a way to have more cars be able to drive effortlessly underwater.
We can never have enough of supercar rallies. Recently, a gathering of over 100 supercars converged at Wilton House in the UK for a charity supercar show that was attended by over 6,000 people from all walks of life. Among the festivities during the event included a race on a hillclimb course leading up to the gathering at Wilton House.
It’s hard to imagine that it’s been 25 years since the first-ever release of the BMW M5, yet that’s exactly how long it’s been. In celebrating the silver anniversary of BMW Motorsport’s first M5 release, the company took a group of journalists and brought them to the Nurburgrin Nodrschleife for an in-depth look at the long and rich history of the M5, as well as glimpses of what, hopefully, is a sign of things to come.
Among those that BMW featured in their celebration were two fabled M5 cars that came close to being released out on the market, but ended up being shelved for one reason or another: the BMW M5 E34 Cabriolet and the BMW M5 E39 Touring.
In addition to that, the attending journalists were also given a sneak-peek at a one-of-a-kind M5, the E60. As an tweaked up M5, the M5 E60 comes with a boatload of upgrades from its standard-bearer, including a larger engine capacity, as well as a larger horsepower output.
To chronicle the celebration, BMW released a video of the history of the M5, and while the language of the said video leaves a lot to be desired, the footage that you see would be enough for you to understand the illustrious history of the M5.
Remember that outrageous parking mishap that occurred a week ago in Ontario, Canada involving a BMW X5 driving on top of two cars?
It turns out that the surveillance video capturing the whole incident has been a popular video over the Internet with over 1.5 million people having watched the incident. One of the unfortunate victims of the accident was one Todd Jamison, who, if you watch the video again, owns the white Hyundai Elantra that the X5 unceremoniously flattened.
The sad part is, Jamison just finished off paying for the car a month ago so you could imagine his dismay seeing his freshly paid-for Elantra get flattened beyond repair. Fortunately, the folks from Hyundai motors Canada got hold of the video and decided to lift up Mr. Jamison’s spirits by
giving him a brand-new Hyundai Elantra Touring. It’s a pretty nice gesture from Hyundai and – as you can see in the video – something that Todd Jamison didn’t see coming.
As far as the woman responsible for the mishap, we don’t know if she felt guilty and wanted to turn herself in or she was just plain stupid returning to the scene of her crime because the day after the accident, she came back to Extreme Fitness and was identified by one of its employees. From what we’ve gathered, Little Miss Destruction Derby has been charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
