Lamborghini Reventon vs. A Fighter Jet

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 01:02:19 +0000

Here’s a cool video I found of the new 2008 Lamborghini Reventon racing a fighter jet on a rather long runway. The Reventon is the new multi-million dollar exotic car from the Italian sports car maker.

Subaru Equipped With Tracks Instead of Wheels

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:38:26 +0000

Here’s a cool video of a Subaru that has Tracks on it instead of wheels. Tracks are usually installed on trucks in places that get a lot of snow, such as northern Canada. It looks like they would be a lot of fun on cars as well.

Audi R8 TV Commercial

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 15:53:57 +0000

I found this video of the first Audi R8 commercial. This car is technically AWD, but with a 98% bias towards the rear wheels. It will retail for just under $110,000.

Bugatti Veyron Cruising

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 22:23:41 +0000

By now, you’ve already seen the Top Gear videos of the Bugatti Veyron. You’ve probably seen some grainy walkaround videos of the world’s fastest supercar as well. This video is neither. The camera is not as artistic as Top Gear and not as grainy as the videos shot by some teenagers mobile phone. This is the Bugatti Veyron in its natural environment: on the streets, cruising around at a speed near the speed limit. It’s still fun knowing that this baby can take off in a flash down any wide open stretch.

Dodge Challenger Concept Car Video

Fri, 02 Feb 2007 05:15:02 +0000

I found this video of the new Dodge Challenger concept car. This car will be going into production, and it’s my favorite of the retro comeback cars, a group that includes the Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger, Pontiac GTO, and I suppose the Chevy Impala. The Challenger actually looks a lot like the original, although much sleeker and probably a lot quieter. I just love those partially covered headlights, it looks so menacing.

I’m sure they’ll put a HEMI into a high performance version of this car, so it’s sure to be hot among car collectors.

$8 Million Car Has Wal-Mart Wheel Covers?

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 05:06:56 +0000

I found this video of a Maybach that costs $8 million. I’m sure these cars are very rare and very fast, but they look terrible on the outside. It looks like an Audi with a weird body kit. The wheels seriously look like those wheel covers that Wally World sells for like $15. I’d definitely take 4 or 5 Enzo Ferraris over this piece.

1964 1/2 Mustang Burnout

Wed, 17 Jan 2007 04:04:17 +0000

Check out this awesome video of a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang doing a burnout. I don’t know what kind of tires he’s got in the rear, but when he starts the brake stand it looks like the car is on a dyno - that’s seriously how little friction he was getting between the asphalt and the tires.

The Car Olympics - Car Jump

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 02:54:08 +0000

A few years ago Top Gear had a little competition called the Car Olympics. They pitted various cars from different nations against each other in some unusual tests. Here’s a video of the long jump, featuring a AMC Pacer, Citroen 2CV, and several other small cars. You might be surprised at the country whose car wins this one.

Bugatti EB 110 and Lamborghini Diablo Video

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 23:21:58 +0000

Here’s a great video of the Bugatti EB 110, a four wheel drive supercar that also featured an engine with 4 turbochargers. Also included in the video is a Lamborghini Diablo SE30 and a Ferrari F50. This video may be 10 years old, but the cars are still way ahead of their time.

1968 Dodge Charger Doing 8.99 Second Quarter Mile

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 03:53:52 +0000

I love watching heavy old cars going real fast. It just takes so much power to move all that weight, and if you’ve ever been to the local track you know you can hear all that power screaming out the exhaust.

I don’t know who Jim Pranis is, but he builds one hell of a nice Dodge Charger. This 68 Charger does the 1/4 mile in less than 9 seconds. Watch the vid:
