The clash of the titans, the Porsche Carrera GT races with its 604hp the 806hp Koenigsegg CCR Evo on a air strip. You may understand that the Porsche disadvantaged and its clear who's gonna win this race, however it's still awesome to see two hypercars like these racing side by side, the sound of their engines is absolutely mental.

Koenigsegg CCR vs Nissan GT-R



Once again, this looks like the perfect recipe of happiness: you just need a long runway and two insanely fast cars! This time, the drag race involves a stock Koenigsegg CCR Evo and a Nissan GT-R modified by Switzer. So, we have 806 swedish horses and 800 japanese horses, who's gonna win?

Brutal EVO X crash


During a race held at Pittsburgh International Race Complex, a race-spec Mitsubishi EVO X has been protagonist of a brutal crash, but luckily without serious injuries for the driver. The EVO had a puncture to the front left tire just before an high speed turn resulting a collision at high speed into the barriers with multiple rollovers. The safety equipment such as the race helmet and rollbar cage have really avoided the worse.

Terrible Mitsubishi EVO accident

Racing is always dangerous, and in this case it could have ended really, really bad. During a Speed Day trackday event at Monza held last Sunday, a Mitsubishi EVO 9 has crashed at high speed in the trickiest part of the track, the Ascari chicane. In the car there were two passengers with the driver, they have reported bruises and fractures, we can say a very light result for their wealth, considering that the car has been totally crashed (including the chassis) and none of them were wearing a safety helmet.

Another Rally accident

It's common to see an accident during a rally event, but this one could have ended really badly. During the 2012 Saaremaa Rally held in Estonia, a Mitsubishi EVO driven by Evgeny Rogov lost the traction in the corner at 180kph by going offroad into the crowd. 10 people have been injured, one of those seriously that had to be moved to the hospital with an helicopter.

Charity Auctions for Emilia Romagna

As you remember, back in May of this year, a series of brutal earthquakes have caused a lot of damages and also casualties in the Emilia Romagna region, the place where the magic happens, where you can find some of the best automotive factories such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani.

The weekend of the italian F1 GP, Ferrari has given to Google executive Benjamin Slossag the keys to his brand new Ferrari 599XX sold for an incredible price tag of 1.4m €. The proceeds from this car and other items sold at the charity auction have been donated to the victims of the earthquake.


But it's not over, the funds for this amazing region keep coming through charity car events held all around Italy, and also thanks to Mclaren that has decided to sell on Ebay the racing suits used by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton during the italian F1 GP held at Monza. The proceeds will be donated to an hospital and a school for disabled children. Are you a crazy Mclaren fan and want to make a good deed? Here the links to the auctions:

FXX and MC12 Corsa on the road!



It's very hard to spot on public streets the Ferrari Enzo and the Maserati MC12, just imagine to spot their hardcore (just for track use) versions, the FXX and MC12 Corsa. It's basicly impossible, since they're not street legal, but for the Chelsea Autolegends 2012 auto show, two of them have been showed up with a temporary plate. The very unique scene has been caught on camera by London spotter Munch997.

The 17th and 18th of July, the belgian circuit of SPA Francorchamps has been protagonist of the Ferrari Corse Clienti programmes, an event held by Ferrari that let their rich customers have fun with their expensive toys, such as the Ferrari 599XX EVO, FXX EVO and even the F1! Too bad the weather didn't helped alot, but for the real petrolheads this wasn't a problem, and so here below a video-report from several spotters that had the pleasure to hear these amazing cars.

Let's start with the Ferrari 599XX EVO by spotter Gumbal that shows the massive power of the engine and of the brakes!

Ferrari 599XX and FXX shakedown

A few days ago took place in the temple of speed, Monza, the only italian edition of the 2012 season of the Ferrari Corse Clienti that involved the XX Programmes, featuring the Ferrari 599XX, FXX and their EVO editions. So, I couldn't miss this unique opportunity to see and hear in person these fantastic machines. The day was divided in track sessions followed by telemetry sessions, so after you were on track you were able to check out with Ferrari technicians in pitlane your results and it was an opportunity to improve your skills on the fast italian circuit. Monza is located in a fascinating location, inside a huge park in the city, when the cars were driving it was really possible to hear an unbelievable soundtrack from every point of the track, or even in the city nearby.

Here below you can check out some pics and videos made by me and a friend of mine.

Video: Ferrari 599XX EVO in Action

Back in December, 2011, Ferrari showed to the world in the Bologna Motor Show an improvement package for the extreme Ferrari 599XX. The package is called " Evoluzione " and includes many important modifications. Now it's even more powerful with a total of 750hp / 700NM and a 35kg weight reduction.

The Ferrari 599XX on detail during its world debut.


The package includes also many important aerodinamic modifications and a new huge rear wing which is actuated automatically according to specific parameters which are integrated with the car's other control functions (ESP, ABS, SCM and F1-Trac). The position of the exhaust has been moved on both the sides of the car with an increase of 20hp.

Finally there's a video where it's possible to see the 599XX EVO in action on track, more precisely at the japanese Suzuka racetrack, during a private session of the Ferrari Race Days.
