Maxxis Tires put together a couple of videos highlighting Ryan Tuerck’s new Scion FR-S that he will be campaigning for the 2013 Formula D season. The car is powered by a Brian Crower stroked 3.4 liter Toyota 2JZ inline-6 fueled by E85 ethanol to 780 horsepower. In this first video, Ryan talks us through the car:
BMW Motorrad is celebrating its 90th anniversary with several special edition concepts including this re-imagining of their R90S. Privateer British rider Reg Pridmore won the 1976 AMA Superbike Championship on a highly tuned version of the R90S giving BMW its first US motorcycle racing victory. BMW designers teamed up with Roland Sands Design in California to create this Concept Ninety.
Lamborghini recently celebrated its 50 year anniversary with a huge gathering at their factory and tour around Italy. Harry Metcalfe of evoTV took the opportunity to make this extremely thorough tour of the lineage of Lamborghini’s V12. He shows every model and iteration from the Miura to today’s Aventador. This 24 minute video will make you an instant expert.
It seems like it wasn’t too long ago that I was posting about Tim Cameron’s last buggy, the Game Changer. With Game Changer, Tim modified one of his existing designs to fit a massive monster truck transfer case. I think the balance of the chassis was off because most of the videos of it in action involved flipping upside down. It seems Tim decided to start with a clean sheet design for his new buggy, the Ultra Bouncer. The engine has been upgraded from a 572 crate engine to a 1,000 horsepower 632 cubic Merlin big block Chevy and was moved from the front to the middle of the chassis. It looks like the cockpit was offset to keep the transfer case centered.
