Sometimes you just really have to make it to soccer practice as quick as possible. If that’s you, have a look at what the good Fiends at Vath have cranked out. It’s a seriously wrenched-on Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate, resulting in a 585 horsepower family hauler. That’s a boat-load of gusto out of out of [...]
The Fiends over at Avus must have a secret army of Umpa Lumpas. It’s the only way the company could churn out the Matte Black Audi A5 TDI and this bad ass sedan in such a short period of time. The German tuner has set its wrenches on Mercedes-Benz’s vicious C63 AMG and squeezed 585 [...]
Speaking of potent sedans, Mercedes-Benz has rolled out a new trailer for its S 63 and S 65 AMG sedans. Both of the cars pack serious gusto, with the “baby” S 63 boasting a 6.3-liter with 518 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the S 65 rocks a more potent 6.5-liter V12 packing 604 [...]
I. The FIA threw out the appeal that the diffusers used by Brawn, Williams and Toyota. After a night’s deliberation in Paris, the governing body confirmed the decision of track marshals in both Australia and Malaysia that diffusers were legal. That means those teams get to hang onto their much-coveted points. [Source: F1]
If you’ve hung around here long enough, you know we’ve got a soft spot for torturing passengers. I think it reminds me just a little too much of high school shenanigans. The video after the jump shows former F1 champ Damon Hill flogging the snot out of Merc’s SL55 AMG. And by flogging we mean [...]
I. Alpina dropped hints that their new B6-GT3 will make runs at both LeMans and the Nurburgring 24-Hour race. The company said it will be backing two of the 530 hp B6 GT3s and offering others to private customers. No word on what kind of price tag that “offer” comes with. [Source: Autoblog]
While it may look like a Ferrari F430’s snout grafted onto a Lamborghini Gallardo from the A-pillar back, this is in fact the upcoming McLaren P11. You are to think of it as McLaren F1 light. Instead of a 600+ hp V12 sourced from BMW the P11 will sport a 550-ish horsepower 6.2-liter V8 sourced from [...]
Step 1: Turn your iTunes offs. Step 2: Turn the volume up. Step 3: Listen to that beast of twin-turbo AMG v12 sing its song. Step 4: Pick jaw up out of your lap. Yo, seriously, this is amazing. Especially around the 1:30 mark where the Zonda sounds like someone’s playing a theramin with a [...]
I. CAP Montior says that the Nissan GT-R should hold 84% of its value over the course of a year, which trumped the numbers of its closest German rivals. CAP estimated that a 911, its nearest rival in terms of depreciation will only hold 68% of its original value. As if GT-R owners needed any [...]
It’s taken more than a year, but Mercedes-Benz has finally released a car to commemorate my, ahem, not exactly under-reported watch-winning victory of the 2007 AMG Challenge at Autobahn Country Club. Well, perhaps that wasn’t really the reason. Still, the SL63 AMG IWC Edition is more than a little special. It’s the first car from [...]
