Missed Gymkhana? Here’s Some Bonus Edit! Posted: 12 Mar 2011 09:25 AM PST Yea it’s been a while since the last fresh dose of Ken Block Gymhkana, so they released this bonus edit of the Gymkhana 3 part 2 to keep the fans amused. It features new scenes and more camera angles which basically make it look like a new episode. So if you, like me, won’t go out this weekend and have some time to kill, give it a spin. |
Video: Mercedes C Class Diner Commercial Posted: 12 Mar 2011 09:09 AM PST The latest TV spot for the new Mercedes C Class boasts its ATTENTION ASSIST system. This system has sensors and stuff that detects if the driver is drowsy and warns he or she to take a break. The title Diner hints at that. You see, if it wasn’t for the drowsiness sensor the lady in this video wouldn’t stop by that diner full of creepy people and encounter a potential date! So this system also works as a dating service. It’s a stupid ad to be honest. |
Trussardi BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo Posted: 12 Mar 2011 08:35 AM PST Car makers joining force with fashion brands to offer limited and special editions is not a new trend. But this BMW by Trussardi is something new because they’ve picked a very ugly car for their project! To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Italian brand Trussardi has come up with a unique version of the BMW 5 Series GT. Now, the 5er GT is widely known as a catastrophically ugly car and it’s the last thing you would think of promote your brand with! But it’s a clever idea actually. They picked an ugly car and tried to make it better with their own touches. In Trussardi 5er’s case the car gets a magnificent Heraldic Brown paint job garnished with logos of the brand and complemented by 20-inch dark finished alloy wheels. They could take customization even further inside the cabin where they’ve used beige leather reminiscent to Trussardi glove design. You also get more logos on the headrests and dashboard. This treatment can be had for all variants of the 5 Series GT. So, what do you think? Have they been successful in improving the car’s look with their stylish modifications?

Video: Porsche 911 GT2 RS Arrives In America Posted: 12 Mar 2011 08:03 AM PST Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a very special car. To celebrate its arrival in America Porsche set up an event at the El Toro Air Station in Irvine California and invited all the buyers who’ve been waiting for the RS for months, and treated them with a special driving course. They brought along professional instructors to teach the customer how to familiarize with the untamed beast that is the GT2 RS. This to be honest is the most necessary option for every GT2 RS buyer! Even the ace test drivers find the GT2 very tricky to handle, so a fat businessman who just bought it as a birthday gift to himself needs to be instructed how to deal with it! |
Audi R15 TDI Makes Final Appearance at Sebring Posted: 12 Mar 2011 07:53 AM PST Before handing over the torch to the new R18, Audi R15 TDI will make its final appearance at the 12 Hours of Sebring – ILMC season opener – on March 19. The R15 was just as successful as its predecessors and started its career in 2009 by a victory – the ninth for Audi in this traditional event in US state of Florida since 2000 – at the very same track that it’s going to retire at. The new car has very big shoes to fill. Due to the new regulations, Audi R15 TDI features a couple of modifications. It is known as “R15 plus plus” internally and faces greatly restricted engine power because the new rules dictates that cars should have a closed cockpit, just as the new R18. Timo Bernhard/Romain Dumas/Mike Rockenfeller (D/F/D), last year’s Le Mans winners, as well as Dindo Capello/Allan McNish/Tom Kristensen (I/GB/DK), Le-Mans winners from 2008, drive the two diesel race sports cars.

Video: Best View Yet Of 2012 BMW M5 Posted: 12 Mar 2011 07:37 AM PST This might not come directly from BMW, but to all intents and purposes this video is the third teaser for the new 2012 BMW M5 F10. They let EVO’s Chris Harris to take the car out for a spin on some snow! He spends most of his time sideways, but as he’s sliding cameras capture some very good shots of the new M5, which of course is wearing a light camouflage. Despite that you get a good idea on how BMW’s most anticipated car of the year looks. This video also includes some fabulous exhaust noise. |
