In the automotive industry eight years is like forever. And for the first time in forever, the Koenigsegg Agera's production will cease. All boutique supercar makers always head out with a bang. Pagani did it with an obnoxious Zonda HP Barchetta. Bugatti did it with the Veyron La Finale. And so … [Read more...]
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
Yes, I could not think of a much more exciting sounding title. So, there you go. What it is is the last hurrah for the DBS nameplate we teased you about. But to our confusion, it was really teased as the Vanquish Supeleggera - which would've been a much prettier name. Also we reported back then … [Read more...]
Formula 1 is Entertaining Again!
It has been a while since we have done this sort of post. Mainly because Formula 1 has become less dramatic, more politically correct. And thus, boring. No more are the days when there were crashes and flames. Well, some crashes still show up here and there. But from racers I could not be bothered … [Read more...]
Autonomous Vehicle Drives Better Than I Do
Let me just put it out there. Pedestrians, and people in general, are unpredictable. And more often than not, unpredictably stupid. So there I was, driving. Then people start showing up out of nowhere. They cross the road without care. They ignore traffic signs at will. Ooh, someone sent them a … [Read more...]
Another McLaren Bites the Dust
Another Supercar crash! Recently we have posted a video of a teenager stupidly driving a McLaren 720S. He crashed into an Audi R8 sitting perfectly still in traffic. If you haven't seen it, you can view it here. The English car maker seem to be having a lot of its cars crash, recently. However, … [Read more...]
Playoff Season! We Showoff Some of the NBA Superstars’ Cars
Its Playoff season in the NBA! I’m quite excited to see whether the Golden State Warriors will defend their title and hold-off opponents as they await a healthy Stephen Curry to co-lead the pack with Kevin Durant. Or if they will fall to the hands of the strong James Harden and his Houston Rockets. … [Read more...]
Dynamic Force!
It is stated that the First Law of Thermodynamics is to never speak about thermodynamics. Although I may have that wrong, the second law, however, states that 'heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder location to a hotter location.' In lieu of the second law of Thermodynamics, thermal efficiency … [Read more...]
The Problem Ain’t The Car. You Are.
Sometimes your car thinks that it is just too much and decides to take a nap. Or die. In the middle of gridlock traffic, in the middle of nowhere. Or it decides to just stay home. You then need to take your car to the shop. In this story we will tell you tales of horror from real car mechanics. … [Read more...]
The Wheels are Alive with the Sound of Music
Often times, we showcase cars which have burbling engines and howling exhausts. We exhibit how much power and torque they have to make mincemeat of a motorway. These days driving is rarely a bliss with traffic. The beautiful sound coming from your rev-happy engine might be a nauseating drone when … [Read more...]
The Best Four Best 4-pots According to Us
There is quite no replacement for displacement. Except maybe turbochargers. We all know that large capacity engines with more than six cylinders have a) power, b) beautiful engine sounds, and c) power. Case in point, we can list pretty much an endless number of engines using this criteria. For … [Read more...]
Tesla Sales Overtake Mercedes, BMW
"The best or nothing", Mercedes' long standing motto just hit it back dab smack in the face. Because what do you do when some other manufacturer offers more luxury, serenity, and performance -and mileage! - in a car that costs less? You go get one yourself! That is what you ought to … [Read more...]
New Supra Specs Leaked!
The new Nissan GT-R is anything but new. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X has gone bust; the next one will likely not exist. Subaru's "new" WRX STI RA JL FTW OOTD TTYL NBA FIFA has more letters in its name than torque and is also relatively more expensive than a BMW 340i - which has more power and … [Read more...]
Lots of Eights in a V-12
I have been writing a lot of Brabus lately. Well, that's because they keep on getting the headlines. If 888 bhp and 885 lb-ft of twist is not enough to make headlines, I don't know what is. It isn't like the Mercedes-AMG S65 cabrio needed more power. It already churns out 621 bhp and 738 … [Read more...]
Let’s Go Hunt Yetis!
If Goliath is the snow, then David would be this 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD All Mountain Concept. This mountain conquering vehicle lost its tyres and equipped Mattracks as the slingshot of choice. This car, er, truck made its debut in Vail, Colorado. Based on the Sierra 2500HD - what … [Read more...]
Rebellious Eco-mentalist
Brabus has been tuning 'normal' Mercedes-Benz and AMG models since time immemorial. What it does is hyper tune already fast cars and make them rival fighter planes rather than other cars. But what hapens when you take a city slicker in the form of a Smart ForTwo to Brabus? You get the … [Read more...]

Hip-Hop, Lambo-Drop
Since Tupac Shakur, rap videos have been plagued with supercars. First there were black Mercedes-Benz S-Class's, black BMW 7-Series, black Jaguar XJ's and Ferraris. Which were red. Now, though, super car options for music video shoots are as many as there are rap stars. And more colors aside from … [Read more...]
Telorvehc Oramac (Chevrolet Camaro)
Like music and ice cream, petrol heads favor different flavors.There are people who swear by Japanese rice rockets. Drifters. Lovers of big burly pick-up trucks, fans of Monster Jam and Nascar. Americans. Then there are people who start drooling when they see classic muscle cars and hear big V8 … [Read more...]
Hennessey Set Out to Break 0-249-0 mph record
Even though it only has 257 hp, nobody crawls out of a Lotus Exige S and says, "This car is a bit slow." And certainly, nobody would cruise at 250 mph in a Bugatti Veyron and wished it had a bit more go. Nobody. Except John Hennessey. He is the man responsible of the creation of one of the … [Read more...]
“Brand New” Lotus Exige!
Aston Martin has finally unveiled the AMG-powered DB11 Volante and it is otherworldly beautiful. Despite that I can't, for the life of me, figure out why British car makers endlessly rearrange their furniture. Lotus has just unveiled the Exige Cup 430 which looks like the Exige Cup 380 which … [Read more...]
