I came across this older Chris Harris video from back when he was still with Evo magazine. I think it came out last year when Porsche had just unveiled the 911 GT2 RS. Chris takes it and compares it with some other turbo cars from different time periods and build philosophies. It’s probably the only time you’ll see the GT2 RS parked next to a Noble M600, Jaguar XJ220 and a Ferrari F40. I’ll admit the video isn’t particularly informative, but it is fun to watch.

These pictures were taken at this year’s Raleigh Antique British Car Show that took place May 20th, 2012 at North Hills Mall. There’s not going to be a lot of captions because I don’t know that much about British cars, … Continue reading
This is my favorite video about Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni. It was released soon after he announced his retirement and Lamborghini built a special two wheel drive Balboni edition Gallardo in his honor. He takes the car out for a casual spin through the mountains while discussing his role in ensuring the development of Lamborghini’s new cars lived up to the company’s history and tradition.
The Drive Channel got an inside look at the Porsche Classic Shop in Germany. They work exclusively on Porsche road cars. What makes it interesting is that the Classic Shop stocks parts for the vintage cars made from the same supply chain that made the original factory parts. They also employ and consult with many of the workers that built the cars on the assembly line when they were being made new. You can order Classic Shop parts for your car from any Porsche dealership or you can send your car to them for an official restoration to increase its value.
The circuit of Terramar is the second oldest track in Europe and the first auto track in Spain. It’s a high bank oval that hosted Formula 1 races in its prime. Red Bull took former WRC Champion and Dakar Rally winner, Carlos Sainz and current DTM driver Miguel Molina to their home country to set a new record at Terramar in the Audi R8 LMS. You would think smashing an old record around the high banked oval would be easy thanks to the 500 hp from the 5.2 liter V10 (same engine as the Lamborghini Gallardo), but it’s not that simple. The track is old and hasn’t seen use in a long time. There are lots of potholes and crumbled concrete for the guys to avoid. You can see the R8’s getting airborne several times in the video. Will they be able to set a new record for the track? Watch and find out.
