The sound of the new Ford Mustang GT


The new Ford Mustang GT has been shown for the first time when, 10 minutes ago? I know that you can't wait to hear how does this american muscle sounds like, so there you go! On YouTube has already popped up the very first video of the all new GT revving nicely its engine at a Cars and Coffee event in California.

So this is how the 458 Speciale sounds like


Just a few weeks after its debut in Frankfurt, the Ferrari 458 Speciale has been shown on its national debut in Spain during a private Ferrari event, for the first time we get to hear the 4.5L V8 revving up and I have to admit that it sounds better than I thought!

BMW M6 races the Lamborghini LP560-4


In this long straight the new BMW M6 meets the Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder. A V8 twin turbo engine matches a V10 natural aspirated, the competitions sounds very interesting and close since both engines produce 560hp, although the M6 produces 138nm more (678nm in total). So, on which car you bet your money?

Audi R8 Donuts!



4WD means no fun? I don't think so, even if the power goes through 4 wheels you can still do crazy stuff like donuts and drifts, just look at this Audi R8 having some fun in a car park.

Mustang destroys the clutch



Doing a burnout with a powerful RWD car is not so difficult, but it's really awkward when you realize that you're embarassing yourself in front of a crowd ready to film the whole scene. This V8 Mustang tried to show off while leaving a car event, but it fails miserably and smashes the clutch into a thousand pieces the with a very bad noise. Well done, dude!

Best sounding V8 Vantage?



I love the engine note of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, the stock exhaust sounds perfect, but I never expected to see another one with a better sound! A de-cat, mixed with a Tubi exhaust and GT4 pipes is the recipe of a very noisy Aston, maybe it's exaggerated, but you can't deny that under that tunnel it sounds totally awesome!

Continental GT V8 Sound



It's time to dispel the myth: Bentley cars are no more just luxury cars with a massive and silent engine. In recent times the Continental GT W12 has become a good mix (for most football players) of comfort and speed. Many editions came out the factory such as the Speed and Super Sports. The new Continental GT V8 fitted with Bentley's sports exhaust might be the best sounding Bentley, love how it pops and backfires, definitely not a sound that you would expect from a car like this!

2013 starts badly for a Ferrari owner

In Russia, a Ferrari owner has inaugurated the new year with some expensive fireworks, as the flames have erupted from the engine bay of his F430. Witnesses have reported to have heard the sound of an explosion, and it could have been fireworks since it was the New Year's Day, but then out the window they have noticed the Ferrari on fire. The amateur video shows also the firefighters coming to extinguish the expensive fireworks, but as we can see from the pictures and video below, there's not so much to be saved.

Behind the scenes: the new Quattroporte

Maserati has released this very interesting video recorded before the debut of the new Quattroporte, and it shows a night testing session at Balocco Proving Ground. Particularly, the session was focused on testing the top speed and the sound of the car without any camouflage and you can hear chief test driver Fabrizio Galvan talking about how the new Quattroporte is so different, if compared to the previous one.

The new Maserati Quattroporte features a brand new 3.8L twin turbo V8 that produces 530hp, enough to move it from 0 to 100kph in 4.7s and able to accelerate up to 307kph; soon it will be available also with a smaller twin turbo V6 engine with 410hp.

A good way to sell an R8

If you want to promote with success a product that you want to sell, probably the easiest way is to show a girl with it. And that's the idea of an Ebay seller that is selling for 130.000$ a 2008 Audi R8 V8 (GT?), and if you look the pictures of the car, you may notice a sexy girl that is posing in lingerie.. but I'm afraid that she's not included with the car. Indeed, that sexy touch in the auction has attracted over 20.000 visitors in less than a week. The girl is posing on a public place with the R8; if she's the girlfriend of the owner, I hope that the interior of the car gets cleaned for the new one.

Click here for the Ebay auction.

Koenigsegg Agera S



In this video we can see a quick walkaround of the brand new Koenigsegg Agera S, in a famous workshop of Hong Kong. The Koenigsegg Agera S, is the first Agera developed particularly for the markets where the biofuels aren't available. This special fuel provides the best performance for the 5.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. So, the engine of the Agera S has been modified to give its best with premium fuel, such as 93 octane for the USA, 98 or higher for Europe. With premium fuel, the Agera S produces 1030hp and 1100nm.

Lotus Extrema

The Lotus Exige is a fantastic machine; it's light and with a power that goes from the 192hp of the N/A engine to the 260ph of the supercharged version, it has a very good power to weight ratio and it's faster than many other supercars with even twice its power.

But what happens, if you want more? The solution comes from italian tuner Composite Worx, that has realised the Lotus Extrema, a british car realized in the american way, and it's name really promises extreme perfomance.

The tiny 1.6L engine has been replaced with a massive 6.2L LS9 V8 Corvette engine that produces 650hp, and with a weight of just 970kg it goes from 0 to 100kph in just 2.9s, 0 to 160kph in 7s and a top speed of 322kph!
