  • Lotus Exige crashes on the Nurburgring

    One look at the image above says it all. The driver of this Lotus Exige is probably not in the best of moods despite having survived a potentially life threatening crash on the notorious Nurburgring, a track often nicknamed the ‘Green Hell’. This latest video, which shows the before and after of the actual crash, illustrates just how deceptively dangerous the legendary race track can be. What seems like a bright sunny day at the ‘Ring, with little traffic and just a gentle curve to negotiate, turns out to be dreadful for this driver. Traveling at speeds of around 100 mph, it...

    Ferrari 458 Italia Crashes Spectacularly In The UK

    We’ve lost count of how many Ferrari 458 Italia supercars have been lost, either due to fire or from their owner’s own carelessness, but it’s safe to say that at least one of the sultry supercars has been lost each and every month since the car was first launched back in late...

    Video: Soccer Player's Wife Crashes Bentley Continental GT In Russia

    This is the aftermath of a crash involving a Bentley Continental GT, a soccer player’s wife and a very slippery stretch of road.

    Close Up Images Of Ferrari 458 Italia And Ford F-150 Crash

    Few articles have managed to gather as much controversy as our recent post on the brand new Ferrari 458 Italia that was run over by a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Arguments certainly heated up in the comments section, with most disagreeing on who was to blame for the accident and whether or not the...

    This, Sadly, Is The Pagani Huayra

    Magazine cover leaks followed by the shot above reveal the new Pagani Zonda successor, the Huayra, in all its gull-winged, gap-toothed glory. It's a bit more Spyker and a bit less sexy than we'd have liked. Busy doesn't even begin to describe the car's design, and though the Zonda was also a...

  • Ferrari FF in testing

    As the replacement to the 612 Scaglietti, the Ferrari FF has some big shoes to fill, but judging by the snow-covered antics of the development car in this video, it's more than up to the task. Not to mention it just looks cool. Be sure to read our preview for the full preliminary specs and info on the Ferrari FF. [Ferrari via YouTube]

  • 2012 Lexus LFA

    We’ve seen it in white, we’ve seen in black, heck we’ve even seen it in a bright orange finish, but for some reason every time we see the 2012 Lexus LFA in a new color we just fall in love with it all over again. This time around the car is finished in a bright yellow paint scheme that we’re sure would make a few Lamborghini or Ferrari models look mundane. The yellow theme is also continued inside the cabin where we can see a new bronze finish for the center console. Sadly, designers chose a silver stitching for the Alcantara bucket seats instead of a contrasting yellow. It’s...
