Hear the LaFerrari testing the F1 Turbo V6


Many of you might be wondering: Ferrari, what are you testing? My guess is that the massive engine bay of the LaFerrari hides the tiny 1.6L turbocharged V6 engine we will find in the next F1 season. An airscoop shows up on the roof and talking about the exhaust note, it's totally different than the V12 we use to find on a LaFerrari and also, you clearly hear the whistle of the turbo and the wastegate.

Footballplayer gets stuck with his Porsche in the mud


Sometimes I think our society is way too addicted and conditioned by technology. Road maps are Middle Ages stuff and everyone use a satnav, but is it really worthy to follow every advice of this device? Don't ask me how, but UK's footballplayer Andre Wisdom managed to get stuck with his Porsche Panamera Turbo in the middle of nowhere.

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!

Turbocharged California drifting



Did you notice that this California is quieter than a standard model? That's right, what you see there are a couple of Ferrari's test driver having some fun at Fiorano with the upcoming Ferrari California which hides under the bonnet a turbocharged engine. After the era of the latest turbocharged Ferrari, the F40, the turbo in a Prancing Horse is supposed to return around 2014. The author of this video was lucky enough to catch a busy moment on track, you may see also an F12 and a camouflaged LaFerrari!

1500hp GTR vs 1600hp Gallardo



This is a quite epic challenge, take two supercars, tuned them as much as you can and then see who's faster on a drag strip. Side by side you find an incredible 3100hp! Altough the twin turbo Gallardo has 100 more horsepower, it's a 6-Speed manual and it's certainly slower than the quick double clutch of the GT-R. So, who's gonna cross the finish line first? Just click and enjoy the race.

F40 Blows up on track



Classic supercars are amazing pieces of automotive engineering and history, most of them spend most of their time in a dusty garage because they're delicate and expensive. Hopefully there are people that actually drive them instead of leaving them under a cover, but if something wrong happens, it may be very expensive.. In this video a Ferrari F40 suddendly blows while accelerating in the straight of the track by leaving behind a cloud of smoke. The author of the video claims that the F40 broke one of the two turbos, and the main reason might be because it was tuned with an overboost as he claimed on FerrariChat.

After a couple of years of concepts and teasing, Alfa Romeo debuts this year in Geneva with the final version of the 4C that is going into production. Many of us are wondering how does the tiny 1.7L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine sounds, and here in a world's first we get to hear its noise in a video taken while the car was being moved inside the Palexpo at Geneva.

Of couse if you haven't seen yet the video below, I spent some time to film the 4C inside the show, finally Alfa Romeo is back to its roots with a good RWD sports car.

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.

Woman destroys a store with her Porsche

The unreal video you're going to watch was taken by the surveillance cameras of a grocery store in a gas station in Istanbul, Turkey. A woman was driving her Porsche 997 Turbo in the gas station and probably, instead of pressing the break pedal she did the opposite (I wanna hope by mistake!) with the result of a sudden fast acceleration that ended by hitting a car, destroying the glass window and the grocery store, luckily with no injuries, probably just a big scare and a huge bill for fixing the chaos she has caused.

Twin Turbo Lamborghini Aventador!

How about time, after the Underground Racing twin turbo Gallardo reached a top speed of 405km/h in Russia, a new creation has arrived: the twin turbo Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, or now should be called LP1200-4! Now it produces 1200hp and thanks to the 4WD system it's able to accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.2s! Actually it's the only spec we know about it, but it's sure this monster can reach 400km/h with no much effort!

1500whp Gallardo drives to 405km/h!

You may probably know those crazy americans from Underground Racing, a company that could twin turbo almost anything has 4 tires and a steering wheel. With the add of two turbos they're able to insanely increase the power of your supercar, making it a serious Bugatti Veyron-eater. Indeed, the following video let us shows the incredible power of an Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardo with around 1700-1800hp (1500whp) going mad during a drag race event of DragTimesInfo.

It's not a surprise that day the twin turbo Gallardo has set two incredible records on that straight line; it has covered one mile in just 23.861 sec. with a top speed of 387.51 km/h (240.84 mph). Then, they tried to give it a little bit more free straight, the result? 405 km/h (251 mph)!
