4 days ago Ferraris, Gumball and Latvia don't mix

Tell me when was the last time when Gumball 3000 went through Latvia without totaling a Ferrari along the way?

OK, it is true that Gumball has crossed Latvia only few times - twice if remember correctly, but on both occasions there was a heavy accident involving a mid-engined V8 Ferrari.

One of those accidents happened just today, when a Swedish guy driving on a highway towards Riga checkpoint, reportedly, hit a path of standing water and slid ... read more

1 week ago The new W222 S-Class is all about luxury... and electronics

From the outside, W222 may seem like the least revolutionary S class in Mercedes Benz history.

Gone are the S classes characteristic bulged fenders. Other than somewhat interesting headlight clusters, there is nothing about the exterior design that sets the new S class apart. The word "bland" comes to mind.

It is obvious that Mercedes have played it safe in the design department. Just like BMW with it's entire model range, minus the M6 and upcoming "i"... read more

1 week ago Beware of muddy wheels

Did you know that something as benign as dirty rims can cause high speed vibration almost as bad as a bent rim or damaged tire?

Usually, as you leave the wilderness for high speed motorways the bulk of dirt flies off.

If, however, you get your car dirty near home or leave it parked right after the "mudding session", the sand will... read more

Rear wheel steering, widest 911 body in history, movable front splitter and 520 or 560 metric horsepower for the Turbo and Turbo S.

Porsche has just revealed the next generation 911 Turbo and I am just wondering, if those horsepower numbers in fact are what Porsche wants you to believe they are.

With modern turbocharged performance cars, it is extremely easy to adjust the boost mapping to yield higher or lower power. Manufacturer's official launch fi... read more

2 months ago Bangle bustle beamer blues

Is it just me who thinks that past generation BMW 5 and 7 and 6 series actually look more "2013" than current generation?

Am I the only one who believes that current BMW design is too anonymous and has lost the signature lines that E65 7 and E60 5 had?

These "signature lines" are the same "Bangle bustle" lines that caused panic amongst some of BMWs more traditional fans.

Many prominent auto journalists in their reviews also didn't shy awa... read more
