Car Crash: KTM X-Bow

We’ve just received these pictures of a KTM X-Bow that crashed somewhere in the Netherlands. It’s the second KTM that we’ve seen crash. This one appears to have left the road on a test drive where its presumed that the driver lost control at a high rate of speed. The X-Bow apparently flipped three times down [...]

Jaguar XKR ‘Goodwood Special’

Most years Jaguar has something special to show at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed. Last year we managed to catch the Jaguar XFR Test Mule doing a few runs up the infamous hill climb course. This year, Jaguar have opted to present a special edition of the XKR. This car will feature several distinguishing features. Obviously, [...]

Official: Lamborghini LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Edition

It seems all our speculations of the past few days have been more or less spot-on! Lamborghini released the first official information about the LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Edition today. It seems the images we saw yesterday were the same ones that Lamborghini were to use as the official pictures leading us to believe that the [...]

Spyshots: Lamborghini LP550-2?

To follow up the story we posted a couple of days ago. Several websites claim to have spotted a test mule of the LP550-2 undergoing a spot of testing at the Nurburgring in Germany. The speculation centers around several interesting body parts spotted on the car. First up there’s the most obvious difference, this car has [...]

Novitec Rosso Scuderia Spider 16M

When the 430 Scuderia Spider 16M came out, most of us were wondering why Ferrari had even bothered to release such a compromised car. The same horsepower as a hardtop 430 Scuderia with less rigidity, more was lost than gained. However, since it’s come out the 16M has slotted into the market for those who [...]

Video: Onboard Zonda F At The Nürburgring

More glorious sounds from the ‘ring for you today. Marc Basseng pilots the Italian built supercar round Germany’s biggest racing circuit driving the car as it should be driven.

Video: Dodgeball Rally 2009

There’s a wealth of rallies that happen every year in secrecy. You just don’t know that they’re happening until someone leaks a few videos of the starting line up or some pictures happen to get posted in public. Dodgeball Rally seems to be one of those types of events. We don’t know anything about it other [...]

Photo Of The Day: Top Gears’ Stig

This might seem like a strange one considering most of our previous Photo’s Of The Day have had a car in them in some form. However, this was too funny to keep off the frontpage. Last night’s episode of Top Gear featured a challenge to find the best learner car, during which the guys were [...]

Teaser: Audi’s Goodwood Festival Of Speed Centerpiece

This episode also has a challenge which see the boys trying to find the perfect car for someone who’s just passed their driving test. The star in a reasonably priced car is [...]

Overkill: Mercedes G-Class Merged With E-Class

Neither the aging Mercedes G-Class or E-Class are what we would call ‘pretty’ cars. The G-Class resembles something we’d expect to see in some far-out, conflict ridden third world country whereas the E-Class has always lacked a front end that we’d consider to be good looking. Therefore, we can’t imagine the logic this owner used [...]

Video: RR Phantom Drophead Drifting

A car this heavy and this large shouldn’t be able to spin the rear wheels, let alone drift round a parking lot. Which is why this short clip is so extraordinary. Enjoy this rare piece of automotive insanity…

Photo Of The Day: LP670-4 SV In New Colour

Thanks to lautogt.com we can bring you our photo of the day, the new LP670-4 SV in a colour that we haven’t seen before! We’ve got mixed feelings about this one, the matte grey looks a bit like a primer layer. However it is an LP670 SV! Perhaps it was so fast that the paint [...]

Rumours: 2WD Lamborghini Gallardo?

We’re hearing rumours that Lamborghini are working on an LP560 special edition that does away with the 4WD system that fitted to all Lamborghini’s nowadays. The news comes from posters over at lambopower.com where they think that power could also be reduced to 550bhp in the special edition, making it an LP550-2. The new version would [...]

2010 Shelby Super Snake

There’s one tuner that fans of the Ford Mustang wait to hear from after the release of a model, the legendary Shelby. Whilst here in Europe this legendary name doesn’t have too much of an effect on us, we still love to hear of the crazy modifications that companies like this produce. Roll on the [...]

MKB 65/12 BT

Based on the 603bhp Mercedes CL65 AMG, this 751bhp beast might just be one of the fastest Mercedes we’ve ever come across. 0-100kph (62mph) is dealt with in 4.1 seconds, the top speed is claimed to be in excess of 350kph (217mph) - dependent on the rating of the tires. The company, MKB, may be relatively [...]

Spy Shots: Ferrari F450 Mule - Undisguised!

We’re not sure where these photos were shot but they’ve managed to work their way onto the internet, revealing for the first time the F430 replacements close-up shape. The design of the car is pretty much what we saw in earlier spyshots. The shots show a rough looking mule that very clearly in the early stages [...]
