Movie: dragrace between 600+ hp monsters
Oct 11, 2017, 12:25 PM What car is the fastest? That will always be the hottest topic in the automotive industry. In the past it was about top speed and the 0-60 acceleration, but in today's day and age we measure performance in many other ways. The quarter mile, 0-120 mph, lap on the Ring and the 0-400-0 are all measurements that count today. In this speedtest the battle is between "family" cars with 600+ hp, the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Estate, Audi RS6 Avant C7, BMW M760Li and the Tesla Model S P100D.

Movie: Koenigsegg smashes the 0-400-0 km/h World Record
Oct 6, 2017, 3:45 PM Nice try Bugatti, but Koenigsegg is showing us how you can go even faster from 0-400-0 km/h (0-249-0 mp/h). Just last month, Juan Pablo Montoya took the wheel of the new Chiron and took the car from 0-400-0 kmph in 41.96 seconds. A World Record and the car world was in awe. But that record didn't last long, because the Swedish carmaker Koenigsegg broke that record with the Agera RS in 36.44 seconds, 5.5 seconds fewer.

McLaren steals the show at the local valet parking
Oct 6, 2017, 12:01 PM Not all super car brands fall "victim" to the hands of tuners. And surprisingly the British brands are the ones that are left alone. When is the last time you've seen an Aston Martin with a giant spoiler or custom body-skirts? And McLaren, other than the 12C we don't see too many tuners target their line of cars either. But there are exceptions, and of where else than the USA can we find a McLaren with some custom body parts and custom wheels.
