Alfa Romeo 4C at Balocco
Alfa Romeo has released a new official video regarding the 4C in motion. Although the marketing guys of Alfa Romeo had the brilliant idea to let us hear some music instead of the real noise of the engine, at least we can see the 4C moving quickly and sideways around Fiat's Balocco test track.

2000hp Lamborghini Drag killer!
How much horses can you fit in the bonnet of a Lamborghini? If you take a look at this Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera you may think that's stock, but its V10 engine with the addiction of two turbos now produces 2000hp, nearly three times more than a Lamborghini Aventador! Now that we know how much power this insane Bulls is producing, it's time to see it in action in the drag strip against a couple of tuned supercars such as the GT-R and the Juke-R that a few days ago nearly humiliated a Veyron!

Mazda 787B: rotary epicness from the past
The sound of a rotary engine is just unique, deafening and special, it's something impossible to replicate with a pistons engine. If you are a Le Mans enthusiast you might have already seen this clip, but I know that you won't resist to see it again, an onboard lap in the 1991 Le Mans winner Mazda 787B is just pure pornography and your ears won't stop to say thanks.

This is one very lucky Lotus Exige
Driving into a racetrack involves risks, you have to be careful if you don't want to crash, or a car to crash into you. What you're going to see here is an Honda Civic nearly crashing into a Lotus Exige around Modena racetrack. The Exige tries to overtake the Civic but at the same time it attempts to overtake the Honda Del Sol with an imminent bad scene to watch. Calling this a close call is a bit reductive, it's just incredible at how close the Honda was to the fiberglass body of the Lotus, I think we were all expecting to see a crash from this!
Skip to the minute 5:00 for the action.

BMW M3 Crashes
If you want to learn how to drive and have fun with your sports car in a beautiful and lonely road.. well, this video is not good for you. At the beginning of the video you realize how dumbs are both guys with their BMW M3s, they keep moving in the opposite lane at high speed, their race ends until the dark blue M3 comes too fast in a tight corner and jumps down a cliff. The GoPro is still intact after the hard collision and it's able to show us also what is a bit less intact, the german exotic.

5 people in a Ferrari 458 Spider!
So, you want to take out the whole family for a drive at Dubai Mall but you don't have a proper family car? Sounds like a first world problem... not. A spotter in Dubai has caught this bizarre (and not very safe, let me add) scene, a Ferrari 458 Spider sharing 2 seats with the husband, the wife and their 3 kids! I'm quite sure that he hasn't received yet the invitation from his local Ferrari dealership to see the Ferrari FF.

Bugatti Veyron vs Nissan Juke-R
In Soviet Russia, tuned crossovers shit the pants of Bugattis. That's right, the russian guys at DragTimesInfo made it again with another epic 1 mile drag race featuring a stock Bugatti Veyron and a tuned Nissan Juke-R producing 700hp. Already at the first second you realize how fast is the launch of the Nissan, it's undoubtedly the winner in the 1/4 mile challenge but then the Veyron catches up the Nissan and just at the very last moment the driver of the Bug may breathe a sigh of relief.

Mazda MX-5 beats supercars
What if, a tiny Mazda MX-5 is beats a Lamborghini and other exotics in a 1/4 mile run? I'm not kidding.. well, the MX-5 as proven in this video brought by Mazda, in certain conditions it could be faster than others more powerful and expensive cars. Does the Mazda had a tuned engine on steroids or something like that? Not really.. the winner is of course the first car to across the finish line, but in order to do that, in a simulated thunderstorm you can take off once you have fully raised up the roof!

Chick in a Ferrari 458 races a GT-R
Sophie takes out her Ferrari 458 Italia and races an heavily tuned Nissan GT-R AMS Alpha 12 in a drag strip. I think that you already know the result, since Godzilla on steroids produces an outstanding 1500hp, mean while the stock 458 " just " 570hp.. in any case, it's always good to see a chick pushing the pedal to the metal!

Drunk petrolheads at the Nürburgring
Is there anything better than drinking and watching a parade of fast cars at the Nürburgring? This video reminds a lot our traditional burnouts in the tunnels of Monza after a trackday, and this scene is quite similar, but of course it takes place in Germany, and that involves a lot of BMWs and beer, a good mix if you want to see right now a crowd of drunk petrolheads yelling and stopping every M-Car for some revs and accelerations.

Adrian Newey crashes his Lamborghini SuperTrofeo
As you know, racing is dangerous and it's not hard to see an accident on track but what happened to Red Bull's F1 Team Adrian Newey well.. it's just awkward. The last weekend Newey took part to the Lamborghini SuperTrofeo championship at Silverstone and during the warm-up lap he lost the control of the car and crashed into the wall by marking the end of his race. At least, it's not Grosjean's fault this time.

Yet another terrible crash at Nürburgring
The long awaited summer weather has brought a lot of petrolheads in the last days for a blast at the infamous Nürburgring, and unfortunately several videos of accidents have been uploaded to YouTube. Yesterday you may remember the accident of a rental Toyota GT-86, today's video might shock you since a spectator has caught on camera a frightening accident of an Honda Civic at Fuchsröhre. The car loses the rear at around 160km/h and smashes roughly multiple times against the barriers.

Toyota GT-86 Crashes
Driving at Nürburgring with a rental car might be very risky not just because it's a tricky racetrack, but also because if you crash, you have to pay a lot of money to the company. This rental Toyota GT-86 has definitely seen better days on this track, since this customer arrives too fast and crashes into the barriers at Brünnchen, a very well known corner if you suffer understeer.
