If you want to watch car races, you can’t get any better than having two heavyweights slugging it out. In this video, the Ferrari 599 GTB F1 takes on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. It can’t get any more interesting than that.
Check out the video to see which Italian supercar took home the oh-so-important bragging rights.
Autocar wasn’t the only one who brought the Ferrari 458 Italia out for a test run recently. This time, it was Chris Harris and EVO Magazine doing their best lap times on board the fastest ‘Prancing Horse’ to ever come out of Maranello in recent times.
In the video, Harris runs through a couple of laps on board the 458 Italia while working on two different set-ups: all systems mode and the simpler – and possibly more difficult – race mode. It’s a pretty attention-catching video, especially after Harris seems to have a more difficult time navigating the 458 Italia around the track when the chores of shifting gears are tasked on him.
The Ford Mustang was built for muscle so it came as a surprise to us when J.B. Niday, managing director of Rally America and latest winner of Ford’s 10 Unleashed program, decided to turn his brand new 2010 Mustang GT into a rally car. But that’s exactly what he did after challenging two of his friends to a nice and dirty head-to-head race at the Ojibwe Forests Rally in Minesota.
To prepare for his Mustang rally debut, Niday configured his GT with all the necessary tools and safety equipment that is required in rally cars, including the installation of a roll cage, race seats, rally computer, off-road tires and HID light bars. After that, it was off to Minnesota to race against Mike Hurst and Mark Utecht with the winner taking home the Mustang GT itself.
Chevrolet’s SEMA experience was made successful, thanks in large part to a host of cars – including six Camaros – the company revealed in the annual auto show.

Bugatti revealed the first promotional video of the 16C Galibier sedan unveiled in September, a first preview of a future sedan, that according to the company will become "the most exclusive, elegant, and powerful four door automobile in the world."
The Galibier’s design is based on the Bugatti Type 35, a model that also inspired the 1001 HP Bugatti Veyron super car. The concept is powered by a 8.0 Liter 16 cylinder engine boosted with a two stage supercharging system.

If looks were deceiving, then the newly-released ‘candy orange’-clad BMW M3 GTS is a car that is far more powerful than what those eyesore colors indicate. As the latest tricked-out version of the M3 Coupe, the GTS – thanks to a 4.4-litre V8 engine that produces as much as 450 horsepower – is a beast on wheels.
And if you’re one to find truth in that assertion, we invite you to check out these two videos that BMW released of the M3 GTS showing off its muscle on a race track.
It seems that the latest fun in Los Angeles is chasing cars with helicopter. A Lamborghini Gallardo and a Gallardo Spyder are being chased on the Pacific Coast highway. Why? Because they were bad guys!
The guys from AutoCar had the luck to got behind the wheels of the new Ferrari 458 Italia and of course they had all the fun in the world. Check the video to see what do they think about the latest Ferrari.

The new Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing has already received high praises from arguably everybody in all corners of the world. We figured that Mercedes didn’t have to do anything anymore to convince anyone that their new supercar isn’t drool-worthy.
But just to be on the safe side – literally and figuratively – Mercedes recently released a new video of the new SLS AMG undergoing a series of crash test in the company’s safety labs.
In the video, the SLS AMG undergoes a series of metal-crunching crashes, including one head-on collision and another after being dropped on its roof. As you can imagine with a car that has the full support of Mercedes, the SLS AMG managed to pass the crash test with flying colors, even after being subjected to some pretty nasty s----and collisions.
We’ve already seen and heard so much about the line-up of Camaros Chevrolet brought with them to SEMA. From the 25th anniversary Hendricks Motorsport Camaro to the Havoc Camaro, Chevy really brought a smorgasbord of Camaros to satiate our wetting appetites for this car.
In this video, the designers for the four Camaros that were shown – the Synergy Camaro, the Camaro Chroma, the Camaro Dusk, and the Jay Leno Camaro – each took turns explaining the rationale behind their creations. It’s a fascinating watch so we highly recommend that you do exactly that.
