The new Sportback Audi RS3 rages on snow [VIDEO]

Monday, January 24th, 2011

audi rs3968 gloAudi has released their new movie presenting RS3, with 340 horsepower engine with turbo. Video takes place in Canada, and by the half of the video, car drifts on the snow.

Overall, I do not know what Audi was willing to achieve by throwing it to the Internet. The vast majority of cars with rear-wheel drive rides through the snow as well. Nah - even FWD cars could do the same. So, quattro drive equipped RS3 does absolutely nothing outstanding here. (more…)

Gilded Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in the United Arab Emirates [VIDEO]

Monday, January 24th, 2011

fert5rzlot489748 gloHow about golden Ferrari? I met a short video showing such a car. As you probably guessed (like myself), “action” takes place in the United Arab Emirates. These particular 599 GTB Fiorano was able to visit the German tuner - Hamann’s.

Subtle changes make it slightly different from the original one. Added gentle spoilers, new rims and added 53 hp to already impressive 620 hp. Of course, plus a gold-plated body. Price? Unknown. (more…)

Let’s play bowling… with cars! Hard winter in Pittsburgh [VIDEO]

Monday, January 24th, 2011

21095a958b glopitshburg gloThis movie smashes our Polish “ale urwał!”, which can simply leave and never to return. On one of the very steep and very icy roads in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, few cars have crashed badly.

Domino, bowling - you name it. Picture is quite interesting. It’s hard to blame the drivers. Ultimately, they just wanted to pass along this street. On the road like this, without special tires, you can not do absolutely nothing. (more…)

Rover’s 55 mystery revealed after years

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

1997 rover 55 gloPictures of the concealed for the years concept Rover from 1997 appeared over the  Internet. The car was meant to be somewhat smaller than 75, but larger than the models  marked by symbols 25 and 45. Rover has called his project 55, but mainly for financial  reasons car never went into production, although the owner, BMW, associated Rover with  great hopes.

Unfortunately, I do not know anything about the units which were to drive the car. But I  am convinced that if the car was introduced to production, sales results would certainly  be better than Jaguar model 75, whose quality leaves much to be desired, and whose owners  could not afford a Jaguar, and wanted to have something better than Ford Mondeo.

Honda Owner remade it into Toyota, because he wanted a Lexus

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

honda civic lexus  gloEurope and Asia are two distinct visions when it comes to culture, life as well as cars. What the Chinese or Russians consider lofty, for the Europeans will probably be saturated with kitsch. This time we have prepared for you an Asian tuning result from Thailand.

The base model car that you see on your screen above is the latest generation of Honda Civic sedan. Looking at the rear of the car, we have the impression that Civic was Lexus  wannabe, but quick glance at the front, and… bam, the Toyota Crown. The profile of this weird creature, however, gives us another contradictory message that it was not Lexus, not Toyota but Honda Civic sedan, which probably suffered a mental collapse, which is reflected by slightly masked wheels with massive wheel arches.

Saab 9-5 Coupe - an interesting suggestion from fans

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

saab 9 5 c gloNo, the Swedish manufacturer has no plans to  introduce the 9-5 Coupe model, but such a move  would rather not surprise anyone. This idea comes from Saab enthusiasts, and more  specifically from “Saabsunited” readers.

Generally speaking, whole looks at least good. Personally, I would make a few improvements,  such as: longer doors, more aluminum accents  and, the most important, larger alloy rims. (more…)

How to deal with hooligans damaging cars in the streets? [VIDEO]

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

figtstreet3549 gloYou know what I dislike the most? Suckers who  destroy cars. While driving, sometimes there  are “incidents” that require a baseball bat.

Imagine the following situation: You go quietly  by car, and all of a sudden you see a group of  five idiots who are on the street begin to dig  and destroy your car. Probably most people  would drive away, not so much out of fear for  their own teeth, but the legal consequences in  case of confrontation. (more…)

BMW can give you a really good amount of show, but you need to know how to ride it!

Friday, July 30th, 2010

bmwidiot1 gloBMW is the dream of almost every young person, but why especially this brand? As evidenced by the practice and research of American scientists who know the automotive industry as much as the pensioner after 8 beers, Bavarian car is better on women. Just to open our windows and podkrecimy music to the maximum level, and just spend all the pedestrians to pay us more attention.

It does not matter whether it is Poland, England or the USA - BMW is a BMW. Today we present to you two short films as a warning to those who are about to drift without prior training under the guidance of a professional. On the first of these the driver wanted to show how to drift with the open door without wearing a seat belt, the second holder of a fresh Six wanted to try it as it is “to fly sideways,” which ended up worse than miserably. See how things really were! (more…)

True (!) Stars and reasonably priced cars - Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in Top Gear [VIDEO]

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

tgcamtom gloTom Cruise and Cameron Diaz appeared in one of the latest episodes of our favorite program on BBC - Top Gear. Hollywood celebrities compete each other in the “reasonably priced cars” and I must admit that they really went decently.

Tom took the first place, while Cameron got a second time, but the difference between them was no more than a second! It is worth adding that Cruise actually finished the race on two wheels … You just have to see that for yourselves. (more…)
