Pagani’s Super Exclusive— The Zonda Cinque
2008-06-10 21:46:00 Remember when Bugatti, way back in 2007, decided to make the ultra-expensive and ultra-exclusive even more expensive and exclusive? And came up with the Veyron Pur Sang, which was a beautiful thing with only five in the whole world? Well, it looks like Pagani is going that way too, with the five-run super-special Zonda Cinque. Not too much has been released about this car, but what there is is interesting. The Zonda Cinque is a street legal version of the new Zonda R, which should make the lucky few who can own them even more happy. What’s also interesting about this car is the new goodies that will be featured on future Paganis: First, there is this new carbon-titanium composite that was developed specifically for the Cinque by Pagani. From what I gather, it is lighter and stronger than carbon fiber, and will be used throughout the car. A new Cima sequential six speed transmission will also be present. A new titanium and magnesium composite suspension is included as well. T... More About: Super

Motion-Pro II Racing Simulator
2008-06-09 16:05:00 You’re going to need a lot if you plan on getting one of these. A lot of space (bedroom sized) a lot of money (used Ferrari amounts) and a lot of understanding from your spouse (Hillary Clinton levels of “understanding”). What you see here is the Motion -Pro II Racing Simulator and I think, this might just be ... More About: Video Game

What started life as a Bentley GT Speed has been taken and transformed by Zagato into something that has the style and presence to contend with the scion of the best luxury automobiles. The Bentley, now named the GTZ Zagato, features extensive but subtle bodywork from the famed ... More About: Spyker
Clear Video of the Tata Nano Testing
2008-06-06 15:33:00 Throughout development, Tata has been keeping hush-hush about the Nano ’s figures and stats. A bit surprising then, that the Nano was seen out testing recently without any camo: Seeing as how it’s the world’s most inexpensive car, it certainly doesn’t look like it. Would you buy a Tata Nano? source: Automoblog reader tip ... More About: Video , Testing , Clear
Saturn?s Sexy Machine: The 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line
2008-06-05 20:40:00 You know, Saturn isn’t known for exciting sports cars, rather, they’re known for boring, slow, family-oriented sedans. The Sky, however, is a real cool looking sports car that has none of the boring attributes associated with the Saturn name. It’s a rather new model, introduced in 2007 along with the more powerful Sky Red Line . While ... More About: Machine , Sexy , 2008
Paper Craft Rally Cars
2008-06-05 17:43:00 There’s this whole sub-culture of hobbyists out there working with just paper, it’s called Paper Craft . I had seen it on other geeky and Gizmo blogs, where people with a lot of time on their hands make 12 foot models of the Bismark and the Millennium Falcon and what not. But, as luck would have it, there’s ... More About: Cars , Rally
What?s The Difference Between A BMW & A Porcupine?
2008-06-04 17:38:00 I know, old joke (and actually, it started off of as a Porsche joke), but sometimes, jokes can be fairly accurate. An example of that can be this guy who trying to sell his BMW M3 E46 that I noticed on CarScoop. Really, I could go on and psychoanalyze this guy, making point by point observations about ...

Edo Competition Tunes Enzo Ferrari
2008-06-03 21:10:00 Damn, I don’t know how, but they did it- Edo Competition has made the already insane Enzo even crazier. Along with the visual package, which I don’t like, Edo has given the Enzo more horsepower, more torque, a higher top speed, and overall better performance, thanks to all of the performance upgrades. The engine is an ... More About: Tunes , Ferrari , Gallery
Formula 1 User Interfaces
2008-06-03 15:33:00 From the fine design website Oobject comes their take on formula 1 user interfaces, or, as us gear heads would say, steering wheels. Stirling Moss said, “All cars have five wheels: the four road wheels and the steering wheel, and the steering wheel is the most important. If you doubt that, just look at the offerings ...

Codemasters To Make Next-Gen F1 Video Game
2008-06-02 17:25:00 Well this is good news, very good news. After much trial and tribulation, it seems that the powers that be in the F1 world (or at least the powers that decides who makes the F1 racing games) has decided that Codemasters gets the contract. For years and years, it has been Sony’s gaming division, but a ... More About: Video , Game , Video Game , Make
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Commercial: My Distaste for the Gallardo is Sh
2008-05-31 21:28:00 Alright, I admit it, the Lamborghini Gallardo is growing on me. But very slowly! Due to the recent release of the Gallardo LP560-4, I’m starting to get over my general dislike of the Lamborghini Gallardo . Long-term readers of Automoblog will be familiar with my having always thought the Gallardo was just a trendy, over-priced Audi. Mass-produced ... More About: Video , Commercial

The video itself doesn’t have any indication of it being from Honda, but only points us to DifficultIsWorth Doing.com, which at first just appears to be a basic blog about skydiving.

Born To Be Mild
2008-05-30 19:58:00 So, for some reason, Daniel McDermon, a reporter for the New York Times decided to take the new Vespa S for a spin down the length of the island of Manhattan. At first I thought, ‘That’s crazy! A scooter out there with New York city cabbies and what-not?” And then I remember that I watched “Roman Holiday” ... More About: Funny
Maserati GranTurismo S
2008-05-30 15:19:00 Simply stunning. Those two words pretty much sum it up for the new 2008 Maserati GranTurismo S. This car is simple but gorgeous, and aggressive but elegant? which is a look that only the Italians can magically make happen. American cars are either really cool or really aggressive, but we can’t hit elegant. The Germans give ...
Pulse Jet Powered Bicycle
2008-05-29 20:56:00 I know, this is a blog about cars, but this is just too good. There’s a bunch of things that makes this great/terrifying. First off, it’s that they mounted the engine on a bicycle. Not a car, or a truck, or even a motorcycle, but something that looks like a re-done Schwinn. Next, that’s not your run of ...

Geely Tiger GT: The First Sexy Car From China
2008-05-29 15:14:00 I’m surprised, and very pleasantly so. China is the world’s largest country in terms of population, with around 1.3 billion people, yet they have not produced a single, solitary, good looking car. All those minds, and not one good car. Which is why I’m so happy to hear about the Geely Tiger GT. This is, without doubt, the ... More About: Sexy

Pontiac Spyhunter Commercial: Making Of

50 Most Memorable Movie Cars
2008-05-27 18:31:00 I have a theory, and it seems to be holding: Top 100 (or 1000 or 50 or whatever) lists are mainly there to start discussions, and on many occasions, arguments. It’s very rare when you’re going to look at a list of something like “The Top 50 Bourbons”, and say, “They’re right ‘Ol Rebel Rot-Gut Special ... More About: Movies , Movie , Cars , List

Audi 4.2 liter V8 In 1981 Lotus Esprit
2008-05-23 20:49:00 Oh, you gotta love this . Look, Lotus Esprit s are very very capable cars, some of them are frighteningly quick. There are also, however, somewhat, how can I put this delicately, fragile and temperamental. Now, I have a friend, Rory, who disputes this. He’s owned 4 or 5 Lotus Esprits, and he says they’re perfectly reasonable and dependable ... More About: Audi , Liter
Subaru Impreza WRC2008 To Debut At Acropolis Rally
2008-05-22 22:26:00 Well this is interesting … Subaru , along with Prodrive, who runs their world rally team for them, have decided to debut their new Impreza WRC2008 earlier than previously announced. From what I gather (since SpeedTV doesn’t cover the WRC any more, which is lame-lame-lame), Subaru drivers Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson have been slavering to get ...
