  • McLaren 12C bumper melt

    Flaming exhaust tips make for great visuals. Seeing fire shoot from the back of a car means that sound and fury are working together to create a visual pop of excitement. It also means you're probably running a bit rich. You also might be rich, which means you can afford to buy a McLaren 12C and then fit an aftermarket exhaust system on the car. MUST SEE: Lamborghini Gallardo Hits 250 MPH And Then Ignites Itself: Video Such is the case for a man in the Netherlands who purchased the 12C, and then fitted it with an Akrapovic exhaust.

    Homebrewed Chinese Batmobile Tumbler Replica Proving Wise Investment

    How much do you think it would cost to build your own replica of the Tumbler from the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman films? I for one would be placing my bets in the low six-figure range.

    Cosworth Pumps Up The Power On BRZ & FR-S Sports Cars

  • BMW M6 Fire Orange by BMW Individual

    We're sure there are downsides to being a professional racing driver, but it's fair to say the upsides probably cancel these out somewhat.
