How not to use your launch control
Jun 1, 2013, 1:41 PM Launch control is a great invention to accelerate as fast as possible. Your car searches for the perfect acceleration without any loss of grip. Sometimes it doesn't work out that well and that's what we can see in the following movie. The driver of this Ferrari 458 Italia didn't count on this much power and got off the track.
Gumball 3000 2013

Rebellion R2K looks brutal in the rain!
Jun 1, 2013, 9:33 AM It must have been quite a challenge for Jon Olsson to drive the Gumball 3000 with his Rebellion R2K. The car is very low and small and can easily be missed by other traffic. The handling of the car is also something which is quite challenging. Especially in the rain it's quite difficult to drive this car. Not very strange when you remember that this car produces more than 400 hp.

More pictures of the Maserati Ghibli in Rotterdam
May 31, 2013, 11:32 AM Nobody would have thought that this soon after the introduction of the Maserati Ghibli, the car would already be spotted in the Netherlands. Everyone seems to agree on one thing, this Ghibli looks way better than it’s bigger brother, the Quattroporte. Niels de Jong captured two beautiful copies which are probably used to shoot a promotional video for Maserati. We still have to wait for the video but at least we do have some pictures for you!
