 Lotus Enters the Hybrid Game With the Evora 414E | |
Jul 03, 2012 - by d4rk | 
There was a time where the hybrids were generally classified as something slow, sluggish and have no characteristic whatsoever to be labeled as something “sporty”. But that is just the past, and now the hybrid technology have already been adopted by a number of auto manufacturers around the world, and coming out with...

To cross or not to cross, that is the question, but whatever it is – to hesitate means opening-up a whole can of pain as well as mangled metal as Finnish rookie driver, Toomas Heikkinen found out as he attempted to jump a 50’ gap in his Ford Fiesta during the 2012 X Games in Los Angeles.
After Heikkinen’s... [Read More] | | | | Renault Twizy is an Electric Drifter! | |

Instant torque, rear-wheel drive and a wet tarmac – the perfect ingredients to have a little side-ways fun, but does it really matter in what you do it in as long as you get it done? Nay we say, any sort of side-ways action would... [Read More] | | | | The Renault Alpine A110-50 Takes a Spin with its Predecessor | |
Jul 03, 2012 - by d4rk | 
The Renault Alpine A110 has been the French auto manufacturer’s shining star back in the days when it swept a great number of titles in rallying back in the late 60s and 70s. It was only until the emergence of the Ferrari-powered Lancia Stratos that the Alpine’s march was brought to a stop, giving way to the focus-built...

Jul 03, 2012 - by Tom | 
Exactly how much Toyota's new 86 love the hill roads (touge)? The only way to find out?, in this case the FR-base 86, is to put it through its paces. A midnight run to be precise, wee-hours in the morning to be spiritually connected to the cult that made the original 86. But we're not delivering tofu this time, I'd prefer to keep the 86 in grip mode with VSC... [Read More] | | | | Audi R8 E-Tron Sets a New World Record at the 'Ring | |
Jul 02, 2012 - by d4rk | 
The record of 8:09.099 minutes around the Nurburgring might not sound that impressive for an Audi R8, especially since the V8 has done it in 8:04, and the V10 with a faster time of 7:44. But besides of those two, what other versions are there? And for that question, comes in the new version of the... [Read More] | | | | Old Drifitng Kiwi Ute Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking! | |
Jul 02, 2012 - by Jay | 
What seems to be a young New Zealander who seems rather keen enough take on the sport of ‘Drifting’, decides to use a banger of a ute - perhaps to achieve his life-long goal of becoming the next Kiwi drift champ ‘Mad’ Mike Whiddett.
Of course this was a recipe for disaster, as he enters the corner at full throttle... [Read More] | | | | Need for Speed Rolling Into the Movies in 2014 | |

Any of you experienced the era where the BMW M3 GTR is the ultimate car and Razor as the nemesis?

Jul 02, 2012 - by Won | 
Certain cars look good in just about any colour. ViperGrün (or ViperGreen in regular English) happens to be the colour of our Scirocco R test car and I’ve got to say, it is looking pretty sweet. No, this is not a colour that just any car can pull off; imagine any other car within the VW family (or any other car for that matter) in this...

Being at the wrong place at the wrong time might be an understatement for this situation; this is more like “Being at the wrong place, at the wrong time, against the wrong guy riding the right machine”. And for the guy on the Honda CBR, this is definitely not one of his lucky days.

He goes by a few names. Commonly referred to as Tandem Assassin or the Prince of Drift. While those names immediately reflect a vicious hunter that spares no room for compromise while going sideways, he is an easy-going guy off the wheel, who is more than willing to share his passion and enthusiasm towards cars and motorsports.

It looked more like a stunt that the three chaps at Top Gear UK would have performed.
