If you had to pick two vehicles to play with in the back woods of Maine, which would you go with? Ok, let’s pull a Unimog off of the list. Now what would you go with? Odds are, most of you are thinking along the SVT Raptor lines, but if you were on the staff [...]
I. Fabio crashed a Ferrari 599 owned by World Class Driving. Apparently the model/idiot went into a corner too hot with the rental and lost it. Just because you’re rich and famous doesn’t mean you get to drive a Ferrari. [Source: CarZi]
BMW has finally decided to “unveil” its newest blasphemy addition to the M family. Far from the low n’ lovely M3, the newest bundles of joy are the X6 M and X5 M. Under the hood of both rigs is a mighty 4.4-liter V8, complete with two turbos cranking out 21 psi. Good for 555 [...]
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 [...]
You can debate till the cows refinance their home whether or not BMW’s decision to expand the M brand to the X6 is a good thing, but you cannot deny the comedy of this here video. “Inspired soul,” “most sportive form” and “we enhance the trust in the car” are just the beginning of the [...]
We’re sorta gobsmacked as to if this is wonderful or terrible news. Wonderfully terrible? Let’s dissect. As everyone knows, the greatest M car of all time is the E39 M5. Say any different and people will think you’re weird. And what made the E39 M5 so good besides the stealth, 6-speed manual and handling? Right, it’s hand [...]
Sometimes we journalists scratch on our heads. Like, back in July we ran a story about the BMW CLR X 650 by Lumma Design. But according to our friends at Motor Authority (we actully made friends with them — hi Sid!) Lumma Design is about to release the… CLR X 650. Right, so, I’m confused. [...]
Thar she blows! Kidding. But she does have a hump (just not like a snow hill). Look right on top of the hood. That M3-style power bulge is (presumably) there to house all the extra hybrid components. According to BMWblog the X6 ActiveHybrid will not feature cylinder deactivation. Why’s that? Because BMW engineers feel they [...]
Don’t remember Brabham? Here’s a slice of history for you. The company built open-wheel racers from the ‘60’s through the ‘80’s and ran its own Formula 1 team. The guys pulled down four driver and two manufacturer world championships during their time on the tarmac. What really takes the bad-ass cake is Jack Brabham’s 1966 [...]
Crossovers aren’t really our thing. The half-car/half SUV mutants tend to be about as Fiendish as another failed amalgamation—the spork. Still, there’s something about BMW’s X6 that rubs our motoring spine the right way. The looks are all business with that super-sweet rake to the back glass, and according to these sneaky shots swiped by [...]
