OK, I have to admit that when I heard the words “Stance Works” and “Ferrari” in the same sentence, I was apprehensive. When I heard the subject of the shoot was a 458? Despondent. I figured I’d see this glorious driver’s car sporting a crippling offset and rendered utterly useless. But sometimes it’s nice to be wrong.
Seriously MSN, if you’re going to post a story about Lamborghini flambe, please give it to a writer who understands the charred landscape of the supercar world. I mean, the first sentence is laughable: “Lamborghini is mid-publicity disaster as this video of a $376,000 Lamborghini Aventador going up in flames goes viral.”
When I think about China in the context of cars, I think about the reason Buick wasn’t sent to the crusher with Oldsmobile and wacky stuff like this. To me, communism means Soviet-era Moscow—and it’s safe to say nobody there was rolling a Lamborghini Countach. But that shows what I know, because in the context of vehicles, China has about as much in common with the USSR as daisies do with chemical warfare.
This wicked twin-turbo Porsche was posted up on Reddit’s /r/cars section and while none of my buddies know anything about it, I couldn’t resist posting this pic. Like the set-ups I’ve seen from Lamborghini specialists—and evil sorcerers—of Underground Racing this one is almost too pretty to hidden behind a bumper.
Since I haven’t seen it in person, my opinion of Ferrari’s FF isn’t completely formed. Now, I love the idea of a four-seater that’s faster than an Enzo, the videos of it playing in the snow are awesome. But the hindquarters are still kind of a buzz kill.
Unlike a certain other video I posted about the Boxster, this video is actually in English–British English even!–so I can understand it! Brilliant! Anyway, I’ve always thought the characterization of the Boxster as a “hairdressers car” was unfair. Like the similarly maligned MX5, I think most people who make that argument don’t much about cars.
In case you were wondering, stunt pilots have serious balls. I don’t have any idea where this came from, but it blew my mind. Sure, almost half of it is black screen, and the quality isn’t great, but what’s there shows a stunt plane getting within spitting distance of a Gallardo.
