Ferrari 458 Italia vs McLaren MP4-12C at the Track

Hey everyone we are back from vacation and have found a beauty of a video for you all today.  AutoExpress have conducted their own head-to-head test in which they lapped both the 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia and the 2012 McLaren MP4 12C around UK’s Anglesey circuit.

There is denying that either one of these cars would be able to get you home from work every day however this video highlights just how similar these cars are.


Audi e-tron Spyder Crusies Malibu

We have lifted all of the the below text from YouTube.  We mostly did it because now it is really late and we are updating out site for the whole week because right now we’re drinking Rum Punch on the beach.  Sorry Copy Right Laws Fail, Lazyness Win!

YouTube-”The Audi e-tron Spyder features what is without a doubt the most advanced and simultaneously the most consistent evolution of the current Audi design language, while also providing initial hints at the design language of future Audi sports cars. It reinterprets the most important design elements that already characterized the previous e-tron concept vehicles. This also ensures the necessary formal differentiation to the purely electric-powered Audi e-tron shown at the 2010 Detroit Motor Show. The two-seater is equipped with a 300-hp twin-turbo V6 TDI at the rear axle and two electric motors producing a total of 64 kW at the front axle. The Audi e-tron Spyder’s low total weight of 3,196 lbs combined with the high-torque TDI and the two electric motors results in respectable performance. The car accelerates to 60 in less than 4.5 seconds, and top speed is electronically governed at 155 mph.”

The futuristic research vehicle described as an experiment “to study design trend, propulsion systems and other long range developments” has been restored to its former glory as a labour of love by a dedicated group of Holden designers and engineers.

Code named RD 001; the Hurricane is a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, two-seater sports car which incorporates a remarkable array of innovative features and technology, much of it way ahead of its time.

The next Supercar to come out of France

We think that the title is pretty self explanatory.  All CGI and All lovely and with only 15 being built it is more exclusive then a Lamborghini Reventon.

When it comes to presenting their vehicles, most tuning houses are content with a comprehensive set of high quality photos, but not Banbury-based MRC Tuning that has prepared a very cool two-part video showing off its Audi S4 B5 Type.
