Russians do street racing with expensive toys
The guys at DragTimes have organized a street race with four beasty and tuned supercars, a Nissan GT-R with 1000hp, a Porsche GT2 with 1000hp, a Porsche 997 GT3 RS 9ff with 900hp and last but not least.. a Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera with 2000hp! The streets are hopefully empty because with these cars you can see them reaching without efforts 300kph!

Don't mess with the Carrera GT!
A legendary Porsche meeting the fastest 911 ever at Nürburgring means just one thing.. race! The Porsche Carrera GT is still one of the best Porsches ever made and has similar numbers, compared to the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (612hp the V10 of the GT, 620hp the flat-six of the RS), they have something else in common, they're two difficult cars to drive, the GT is a real beast to tame!
Start to see the video from minute 27:00, that's where the GT meets the RS and the battle begins, until the driver of the GT2 RS reaches his limits and spins out, but with a huge luck he doesn't crashes into the barriers which happens most of the times if you crash at the Green Hell since the guard rail is just a meter far from the tarmac of the track.
And the lesson of today is: don't ever try to keep up a Carrera GT, just turn down the window and enjoy that heck of a V10 sound!

GT-R vs GT3 RS 4.0
Once again, the guys at m5boarddotcom have managed to compare side by side two great rivals, the Nissan GT-R and the Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0. The Porsche looks stock, the Nissan is slighty modified and this time the 4WD is a huge help. In a standstill start all we know who would win without a doubt, but the guys are racing with a rolling start.. so, will the Porsche have a chance?

Pagani Zonda 760 RS
The insane, full carbon Pagani Zonda 760RS has been spotted once again in a very unexpected place.. a gas station. The video is not long, but it gives us the opportunity to hear the massive V12 AMG firing up and accelerating away with a noisy backfire in every shift up! Just to refresh your mind, the Pagani Zonda 760RS is a one-off Pagani built for supercar collector and loyal Pagani customer Mr.Marcos Hites. The 7.3L V12 engine produces a staggering power of 760hp, by making it the most powerful Pagani ever made.

Brutal Porsche GT3 RS crash
When I drove for the 1st time at Nürburgring, the thing that has impressed me more, was the lack of view of the upcoming parts of the track, you keep driving fast but you never know what's coming in the next corner, and with the low amount of marshals around the track, you really know why this racetrack is so dangerous, as you can see in the following clip. At Bergwerk, which is a blind corner, a Porsche 996 GT3 RS arrives at around 190km/h but there's nobody able to warn him about the several cars blocking the track because of an accident. On the trajectory of the crash there's also a dangerous oil slick; too late for the Porsche driver to do something, the car spins out and ends his lap against a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.

Fast as Hell
Take the ultimate german track car in the ultimate racetrack, give it to an expert racing driver, fit it with sport track tires and a couple of cameras to film the action. Dunlop has held at Nürburgring an event to show the efficiency of their new Dunlop Sport Maxx semi slick tires, and in the following video you can see a Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 fitted with these tires being driven insanely, by marking an absolutely amazing lap time under 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

Updated: Pagani Zonda PS!
A great thing about Pagani is that every car is bespoke and unique, and if you want you can send your Pagani back to the factory, and ask for upgrades or a new configuration! Several owners have already updated their Zondas, and now it's time also for Peter Saywell with his Zonda PS. I wasn't a great fan of the previous configuration, but the new one is really awesome to me! Let's see how it looked before the
upgrade.
The updated configuration shows a new bright blue paintjob and several components taken from the extreme Zonda 760RS, such as the LED, the air scoop and the side air intakes. From what we can see outside, I wonder if even the engine has been modified; the PS is fitted with a slighty modified version of the V12 AMG engine fitted on the Zonda F Clubsport.

Terrible GT2 RS Crash
A frightening accident took place in America involving a red Porsche 997 GT2 RS. The car has been crashed at 160mph (250kph) against a truck on public streets just a few hours after the delivery to the new owner. There aren't any other infos about the crash, but it's hard for me to believe that the driver is still alive, the pictures are just shocking to see.
