The forests of the world are in danger, more danger than ever before. Trees are going to be cut, pulped and made into shiny glossy posters of these three gods to keep the Mclaren F1 company on every gearhead’s walls. The automotive world was expecting a miracle, something to shut the green brigade up with, we all knew there was something in store, we even knew it was one of three companies who would answer the call, but what Geneva gave us, well, that was breathtaking. The Mclaren P1 , La Ferrari and The Lamborghini Veneno in the same city at the same time, like I said, trees are in imminent danger not from any of these cars, they are the cutting edge in green technology today, but from wall posters.… Read More…

The Last Gallardo!
Introduced this September, the 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the last of its series but the good news is that Lamborghini is coming with its successor very soon. Lamborghini declared the end of production of Gallardo series and in no other than Lambo style (Oppa Lambo Style!!). Lamborghini released a two minute-long film that takes us for a short trip to the Gallardo’s birthplace. Also, Lambo has launched a new portal for its last Gallardo… Read More…

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Venet – World’s Fastest Road Legal Art
It sometimes is annoying when people say that the Bugatti Veyron series of cars aren’t beautiful or artistic enough while some go as far as stating that they look boxy and drab. I really don’t fault them, look at the Mona Lisa, a painting so good that for centuries people have tried finding fault in it. Human nature I say. And truth be told a car so poised and so “monstrously elegant” at the insane speeds that it so easily achieves, anybody would become a mumbling fool trying to find faults in it. It is a beautiful car, its beauty a partly a result of the engineering that makes the Bugatti Veyron the reigning god of the automobile world and also because of the “monstrous elegance” I mentioned earlier and partly because of the way the car unlike our other God’s of the tarmac looks you in the face and makes you just want to drive instead of inspiring song and poetry. … Read More…

Why? Because Racecar.
It’s not a car, it’s a bloody dart, I curse as I saw car number 69 tear up the Autodromo Ricardo Paletti straights. Even when the F2 driver actually braked, he still didn’t seem to slow down but infact just slingshot through the corner. I was seated in the stands, of a racetrack situated in the hills of Verano, awestruck as Hawks Racing’s car, which could well be the new batmobile, took the finals laps of its FSAE Italy Endurance event. “It’s a pretty sight this”, I thought to myself. “Stuttgart has nothing on them.”… Read More…

F1 Successor (P1). Is it?
McLaren P1
Unveiled just 9 days ahead of the Paris motor show to be held on 27th September, 2012, McLaren P1 is here for you. Dripping with McLaren’s eye popping orange, the P1’s official pictures just spread like wildfire all over the internet. The images clearly showcased the car after its teaser videos so far. Looks? My God that car is a beauty. With just a look of it, one can say the aesthetics of a mp4-12c purely studded in it, just an evolved MP4-12C to brief it up.
The powertrain has yet not been confirmed but the current speculations infer the same 3.8 litre twin turbo V8 engine as in the mp4-12c, but a little tweaked one producing an enormous 803 bhp. Adding to it is a fully functional KERS unit producing 160 bhp to a total 963 bhp. This is utterly hyper-car territory. The unique claim by McLaren in this one was “the best aerodynamics”. … Read More…

Mercedes V12 To Go Silent, AMG To Take Over
Autoweek quotes that Mercedes Benz has decided to handover its prestigious art of making V12 engine to its in- house tuner AMG. Due to environmental concerns and rising fuel prices, automobile firms are downsizing their massive engine to get better efficiency. As for the new BMW M5, they have reduced the engine from beautiful V10 to turbocharged V8. Likewise Mercedes has decided to stop the production of its own V12 engine.
However in contrast the brand which is synonymous with performance ,the AMG is well suited to build its biggest and smoothest powerplants. AMG has a charismatic history of delivering high performance engine since the very beginning. Even Pagani couldn’t escape the gravity of it’s spectacular engineering, which is why they preferred to use V12 crafted by AMG for Huayra instead of making their own.… Read More…
