2013 Lexus GS 350 Revealed

I have been waiting patiently for them to take the wraps of this car. Lexus has made this car to be more a driver first car than previous models. 

My first reaction was, it has a CT 200h face and an LS side and read body panels. In the look department I think it can compete with BMW 5 series or the Mercedes E-Class. 

Some of the new parts of the GS is the all new chassis along with reworked multi-link rear suspension. The interior looks more spacious compared to the current generation. Lexus also claims the new 3.5 liter V6 is putting out about 306 HP and 277 pound feet of torque. Currently the 2012 Mercedes E350 is rated at 302 HP and about 273 pound feet of torque and the BMW 5 series is rated at  245-hp with a turbo charge 2.0 liter with 258 lb-ft torque.

The GS comes with three driving modes, ECO, Sport, and Normal. It also come with an 835 watt Mark Levinson audio setup. It is also equipped with 12.3 inch display for movies, and other information systems.

Over all I think the GS looks great, it's too too far off the path for Lexus. It still has that Lexus quality and look to it. But this time around they just made it a little sleeker.

BMW Alpina B6 Crashes At The GT Masters Series

Hey  it's a good thing those tire barriers are there. Oh, wait the car went air born over the barriers and smashed into what looks like a porta potty. I really hope no one was in there taking a dump at that time.
But it's kind of funny when a BMW crashes into a BMW advertisement. At least it wasn't as bad as the Camaro crash at the Grand-Am Road America.

2012 Corvette Z06 Laps the Nurburgring in 7:22.68

Let me repeat that, a Z06 went around the worlds most difficult track in 7:22.68. That is faster than a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Nissan GT-R (2011), Maserati MC12, Pagani Zonda F Clubsport, Ferrari Enzo.
The 7:22:68 is a 20 second improvement over the previous Z06 that was tested.
Who needs a Porsche, Ferrari or some other Euro super car when we can get something faster for a cheaper price.Yea, I agree, it has an ugly interior, but who cars.
So why such a huge improvement? First, this Z06 was outfitted with with the Z07 chassis package, which includes a special Performance Traction Management system previously unique to the ZR1, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. 



If you are a fan of the Corvette ZR1 here is the video of ZR1 running the ring in 7:19.4 Seconds.

2012 Mini Cooper Coupe

Ever since the Mini Cooper came out, I had a thing for. It was small and it was fun to drive. Especially the Cooper S. Now comes the all new 2012 Cooper Coupe. These new Coupe looks pretty fantastic, even thought they have kept the same design in the front. The interior is new but still very much a Mini.
This is the first Mini to be built with a "three-box" design concept, which means the body, wraparound glass and roof are three boxes built upon a horizontal plane.
The 2012 Cooper Coupe in three flavors; base Cooper Coupe (121 HP), Cooper S Coupe (181 HP) and the John Cooper Works Coupe (208 HP).

Mini says that prices will fall somewhere between those of the respective hatchback and convertible models, which would put them somewhere around $22,500 for the base Cooper Coupe, $27,000 for the Cooper S Coupe, and roughly $32,500 for the Works.

Looking forward to seeing these around town pretty soon.

Ken Block Gymkhana, tilt-shift edition

I don't know anything about tilt shift, but certain things looks pretty freaking awesome in tilt shift. And one of them is Ken Block going crazy in his Ford rally car.



If you like to see Ken do the same thing with bikini model then watch the video blow. I must warn you, there is really nothing to see because she is all covered by seat belts and helmet.

The BMW M 1

I'm not a BMW fan boy, but this is one of my favorite cars out there today. So after I pay off my school loans I'm looking into getting my hands on one of these. The M 1 is a rear-wheel-drive, twin turbo 3.0-litre straight-six now putting out 340hp. If you press on the pedal hard enough you will get 0-60  in just 4.7 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to155 miles per hour.

I'm a big fan of small cars with some big power. Let me just say this, I'd rather have this over the M3 but not over the STI. For the amount of money this car coasts, I just wish there was some more HP under the hood or the price lowered by about 5K.
