Banega's Ferrari on fire



Not a lucky day for argentinian footballplayer Ever Banega. The Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale of the midfielder from Valencia has burned down completely while he was driving on his way to the training field. He quickly came out the car without sustaining injuries, but unfortunately the firefighters haven't saved much from the Ferrari, as you can see in the related video.

That's how 62 Ferrari F40s looks together



A legend, an icon of the Prancing Horse. The Ferrari F40 is considered as one of the best Ferrari ever made, an exciting supercar with no luxury or even the ABS. This fantastic machine is celebrating this year its 25th anniversary, and for the occasion sixty-two (yes, 62!) F40 owners joined the british Silverstone racetrack for an epic meet.

Agera R tunnel sound



It's always awesome to hear a noisy supercar accelerating through a tunnel. It's an even more awesome sight  if you have the opportunity to hear the Koenigsegg Agera R blasting in the famous tunnel of Montecarlo!

First person F1 drive



Today and tomorrow, the circuit of SPA Francorchamps is protagonist of the Ferrari Corse Clienti, involving the customers with the XX Programmes and the F1. We have allready seen in the past some onboard footages of the 599XX and FXX, but how does it feel to drive an F1 in one of the most beautiful racetracks in the world? Racing driver Lucas di Grassi takes us for an exciting first person lap. He said the camera was partly blocking his view, kudos to Lucas for driving on the wet track with using just one eye.

Subaraudi 5-Series

A very confused man is selling on Ebay UK his modified 1993 Subaru Impreza WRX. Probably he was looking for a sporty japanese car with the prestige of a german sedan, but the result is certainly a ricer mix of 3 popular cars; a 1993 Subaru Impreza with the back of the 2003 BMW 5-Series E60 and the front of the 2005 Audi A4 B7.I'm very perplexed by the way the owner is describing the car as " Lovely lovely " and that there are currently 4 bids for this " thing ".

Terrible Ferrari 612 Scaglietti crash

A terrible crash involving a red Ferrari 612 Scaglietti took place in Moscow, Russia. It seems that the car crashed sideways against a huge pole by splitting the car in two distant parts. It's a massive crash, probably caused by the high speed. The Ferrari was driving with 4 people inside, but luckily just the driver reported minor injuries, incredible to say by watching the gallery below.

Wait until the end before to exult..



This has to be for sure an epic fail! Italian biker from Yahama, Riccardo Russo is protagonist of a clamorous mistake that has costed to him the 1st place. He was dominating the race of the Campionato Italiano Velocità held at Mugello, he thought the race was over so just like every champion, he slowed down and exulted by showing off for the crowd and enthusiasts. Too bad that he did that in the second-last lap of the race, and when he realized that, it was too late, he finished the race in the 14th position.

Lambo driver arrested



It's more frequent to see people that loves to film themselves while driving their supercars on track and on the road. Ofcourse if you're doing it on track you don't have to worry to go fast, but if you're doing it on public streets, it's better to think twice if it's a good idea to take a video and to post it online. And this time, Mikami Tadao, owner of this Lamborghini Superleggera has been very unlucky since the video he took to himself while speeding in a tunnel 2 years ago, today it costed to him the arrest for driving over the speed limits.

Lamborghini Murcielago crashes

Yesterday in the late afternoon took place an accident in Mariano Comense (nearby Como) that involved a Lamborghini Murcielago and a lineup of motorbikes. The car was driving pretty fast and lost the control by crashing in the lineup of the BMW Motorrad dealership and hitting two people, but luckily the fatal crash has been avoided. Both the Lambo and the bikes have been seriously damaged.

The History of the Lamborghini Gallardo

Back in 2003, Lamborghini has started to produce their most successful supercar ever, the Gallardo. After 8 years of production, over 12.000 Gallardos came out the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory making it the most-produced Lamborghini ever. Over the years Lamborghini made a 2nd generation and several editions, but what impresses more is how much marketing and work has put Lamborghini to develop and sell so many countless limited editions, let's take a look below to a quick view to all the kind of road production Gallardo they have made in chronological order:

The beginning: the 2004 Gallardo

Fiat 500X

Yesterday during a press conference held at Lingotto, Fiat has showed to the crowd for a little time an extra large version to the Fiat 500 in the SUV variant. It wasn't a real presentation so we can't go on detail about it, the 500X is long 4,20m and should replace the Fiat Sedici, it will be presented in September during the Paris Motor Show and it will probably feature a 4WD system.

Mclaren MP4-12C Spider

The roofless version to the Mclaren MP4-12C has finally arrived! The MP4-12C features a retractable hard top that takes just 17 seconds to convert the MP4-12C into a sexy spider supercar. The engine is the same of the coupè, a 3.8L twin turbo V8 that produces 620hp, since it's slightly heavier (40kg), the performance are a little bit lower than the coupè but you'll don't notice the difference, however the classic 0-100kph acceleration takes 3.1s (same as the coupè) but the 0-160kph takes 6.1s which is 0.1s slower and moves up to 328kph, 5kph slower.

Gumpert Apollo crash



The hillclimb of Goodwood is protagonist of another accident. The circuit is very tricky and you can't afford to make a mistake, otherwise you'll crash into the barriers. In the history there have been even fatal accidents, involving marshalls or the drivers themselfs. Luckily, the video of today doesn't show a fatal accident, still painful, a blue Gumpert Apollo going sideways and crashing at 85mph.

Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake



This weekend Mercedes showed on world debut the new shooting brake version of the Mercedes CLS63 AMG at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The car is almost ready but it had a light camouflage,  The performance and power output should be similar to the sedan but certainly with a major weight; under the bonnet we will probably find a twin turbo 5.5L V8 with 525hp and 700nm, 0-100kph in 4.5s and a top speed limited to 250kph.
