Ferrari 430 Scuderia nearly crashes

If you've ever had the opportunity to visit Maranello, you might have noticed that there are a few supercar rental companies just outside Ferrari's museum. All the year many tourists which come to visit Ferrari pay a visit also to one of these companies to experience the thrill to drive a Ferrari at full speed just outside the city, and of course to post after the video of their dream ride on YouTube.

Ferrari 458 Crashes in Geneva

That's a negative week, isn't it? In this little amout of time I have already reported the crash of three Lamborghinis, a Ferrari, a Bentley and a Porsche and now I report news from Geneva of another crash involving a Ferrari, more precisely a 458 Italia.

ItalDesign Giugiaro Parcour crashes at Goodwood

After its launch in March at Geneva Motor Show, the italian super-suv ItalDesign Giugiaro Parcour was ready for its very first public shakedown during the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed. The car has certainly managed to catch the attention of the crowd and media, that's because during the Goodwood run the car had an accident!

GT-R does 382km/h in a mile

A new world record has been set by the crazy russian guys at DragTimesInfo, if you remember, back in April a GT-R tuned by AMS Alpha 12 producing an incredible 1700hp marked an even more incredible 374km/h (232 mph) in 22.7s in a mile run. This GT-R is back on the russian drag strip in order to improve his performance, and he made it successfully with a 1/4 mile covered in 22.5s at 382.16km/h (237.5)!

Crashed Bugatti Veyron on track

What are the chances to see a wrecked Veyron on track? Very, very low, if you consider that most Veyron owners spend most of their time at slow speed in the city centre. Everyone know the risk of pushing to the limit a car on track and for this Bugatti Veyron the trackday didn't end very well, but it's good to see someone that prefers to unleash the 1000hp instead of posing around town. The Veyron while driving at Firebird International Raceway has crashed into the tirewall, the left side is full of dents, the mirror as well as the headlights need to be replaced. Looks like a minor accident, but the bill from the workshop will be everything but cheap!

LaFerrari stopped by Police in Dubai

Recently a final production version of the LaFerrari has been spotted in the streets of Dubai. Not sure if it was there for some more testing or to be shown to potential buyers, but the car even with the camouflage didn't went unnoticed to the police. Probably it was an ordinary inspection or just an excuse to stop it to see it closely, this is the very first LaFerrari spotted after its world debut in Geneva back in March, the cops were certainly surprised to see one in the flesh!

1700hp GT-R is pretty quick!

A stock Nissan GT-R is able to compete with many supercars, but a tuned one might beat with not much efforts even the most expensive hypercars in the world. This GT-R AMS Alpha set an incredible mile run record in just 22.7s with a speed of 374kmh. Just to let you know, this GT-R reached 300km/h in 12.8s which is nearly 1s faster than the Hennessey Venom GT and nearly 2s faster than the Koenigsegg Agera R and Bugatti Veyron SS. 120 octane race fuel, semi slick tires and 1700hp might have been a good help to achieve this incredible result..

Alonso drives LaFerrari on track

" Remember, two slow laps ".. would you really listen these words behind the wheel of the 960hp LaFerrari? Of course, you wouldn't... even less Fernando Alonso, his vocabulary doesn't know the word " slow "! In this video see how Fernando is having good fun with the most powerful road production Ferrari around Fiorano track.

Porsche 997 GT3 RS Close Call!

Monza, the temple of speed. It's one of the fastest racetracks in the world and in the main straight the supercars can reach up to 300km/h, so if you're planning to drive here, make sure that your car has really good brakes. It's not the case of this Mitsubishi Colt that at the end of the main straight comes like a bullet and nearly crashes into a Porsche 997 GT3 RS because it had no more braking power. A truly scary moment!

New record for the Hennessey Venom GT

To give you a better idea of what is a fast car, here you can see the recent Guinness World Record acclaimed by the Hennessey Venom GT. With an incredible acceleration from 0 to 300 kph (0-186mph) in just 12.63 seconds, this car is the world's fastest production car for this speed, almost 1 second faster than the previous record holder, the Koenigsegg Agera R. How can it be so fast? Power/Weight ratio is the key of the Venom GT. It weighs just 1220kg and under the hood takes place a massive twin turbo 6.8L V8 engine that produces 1200hp!

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.

World's fastest street legal car!

The Ford GT is a pretty good supercar, but if you tune it, it can really be badass. Recently, a twin turbo Ford GT with the incredible power of 1700hp has set a new Guinness World Record, by accelerating up to 283.232 mph (455.82 km/h) in a standing mile! With this astonishing result, this Ford GT modified by Performance Power Racing is street legal, and so it's the world's fastest one!


The video of the world's fastest Ford GT didn't showed us much action about the record attempt, so why not, let's take a look at another recent attempt of another modified Ford GT, this time by Hennessey Performance which sets up a top speed record at Texas Mile with a 263.3 mph (423,74 km/h) run. In the video we can enjoy the onboard camera and an external shoot of the GT.

Ferrari 360 Close Call!

It's not always easy to push at high speed a supercar, the danger is always lurking and not always a spin out end like in this video, where the driver of this Ferrari 360 Modena has been very close to a collision with the safe barriers of the dutch Zandvoort track.

Nissan GT-R Crashes

Another video has popped up on YouTube, showing how not to drive a Nissan GT-R R35. During an official Nissan event held somewhere in America, the onboard camera of a GT-R has caught the moment of another GT-R getting airborne on the road and then losing the control by driving in the wrong way until the car stops outside the road.

A new record at Nürburgring

The power of lightness. Light cars with a good amount of power are little rockets on wheels that can compete with the most expensive and fast supercars, thanks to the favorable power/weight ratio, a few examples are the Ariel Atom and the Lotus Exige. There's a new car in the market that has set a remarkable lap time around Nürburgring, point of reference for the automotive factories from all around the world. The little Formula Ford, moved with a tiny turbocharged 3cyl engine with 205hp has set a very fast lap time of 7 minutes and 22 seconds, making it alot faster than supercars (and even hypercars!) such as the Ferrari Enzo, Nissan GT-R or the Porsche 997 GT2 RS.

Lexus LFA drive

The Lexus LFA is a clear example that shows how a V10 should sound. Just 500 these have been produced so it's not easy to see one. The following video shows from multiple angles the glorious high-pitch sound of the 4.8L V10 engine, and with 560hp pushed on public streets you'll find that it's not hard to get pulled over!

SSC Ultimate Aero XT

Back in 2006, Shelby Supercars introduced the american response to the Bugatti Veyron. Indeed, it achieved the fame in 2007 by beating the famous top speed of the Veyron by 3kph, for a total of 410kph. The record came back to Bugatti with the introduction of the Veyron SuperSport WRE and its incredible top speed of 434kph, still an unbeaten record. Before to the start of the production of the new Tuatara hypercar, the company has decided to close the era of the SSC with an hardcore version that will be hardly forgotten. The new SSC Ultimate Aero XT has the target to recapture the top speed record with its top speed of 440kph. Thanks to the massive use of aluminium and carbon fibre, the XT weights just 1130kg and it's moved with a 7.0L twin turbo V8 engine that produces 1300hp. The SSC is not going away in silence, let's see if it will be able to get on nerves again the germans.
