To keep the center of gravity low, F1 drivers are basically lying down. Here, F1 driver Nico Rosberg explains why he sometimes strains to see over the wheel of his Mercedes AMG Petronas car. Visibility issues, anyone? And just look how his legs are crammed in there!
First, a 135i is hardly competition for a 997 Turbo. That said, this game of high-speed cat and mouse on the autobahn still makes for great video. What are you more jealous of? The fact that there are no speed limits? Or that people on the right yield to faster drivers?
Ferrari just passed the 8,000,000 followers mark on Facebook. To celebrate, the company posted this video of a 458 drifting and doing donuts. And it could have been brilliant—but it isn’t. So while it might seem silly to critique a video showing one of the world’s finest sports cars being flogged like a winter beater, I’m going to do it anyway.
While I was going through my DVR last night, I stumbled across an episode of “Sons of Guns” where the guys modify a Porsche Cayenne for a Russian billionaire, with “security concerns.” International Armoring Coroporation had already bullet-proofed it, but the client also wanted it to have some offensive capabilities.
Evo Editorial Director Harry Metcalfe owns a regular Zonda. So maybe that’s what he was able to score an invite to the Pagani factory and talk a South American zillionaire into letting him flog his Zonda 760 RS before he’s even seen it. Personally, I don’t care what Metcalfe did to get this footage. Because he got it. And it rules.
18 years ago today, legendary Brazilian racer Ayrton Senna died while leading the San Marino Grand Prix in Italy. The recent biopic has made him arguably more famous now than he was during his life, but before the film premiered, the blokes at Top Gear put together this fantastic tribute to celebrate what would’ve been his 50th year.
The Corvette and the Porsche might both be world-class sports cars, but the engineers who designed them couldn’t have attacked the problem more differently. One the one hand, we have a pure expression of American grunt. One the other, there’s a manifestation of German precision. As Angus Mackenzie says at the beginning of this clip, these machines appeal to guys at the polar opposite of the sports car spectrum.
