Most powerful Renault Twingo is created


Twingo Trophy

You are the fan of small French machines? Then a new child from company Lazareth for you. After all Frenchmen from this firm have managed to transform modest Renault Twingo in present super car which on a racing line is capable to fight with Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Judge for yourself – made engineers Lazareth this car has the eight-cylinder engine in volume of 3,5 l which gives out 180 h.p. It would Seem that it is not enough for such volume and eight cylinders, however, the engine possesses a huge twisting moment on bottoms thanks to what babe Twingo is not simply quickly dispersed. It's dispersed very very quickly.

From technical features of the most powerful Twingo it is possible to note a rear wheel drive (standard cars, as it is known, front-wheel), and the engine here is established not under a cowl, and behind front armchairs. Also has been completely replaced a lobby and a rear suspension, new brakes, 18-inch wheels are established. Besides, practically a new it was necessary to do and a body of the car!

As to the price, it more than decent – Frenchmen sell the car (and they named it V8 Twingo Trophy) for 70 000 euros or $105 000.

Mini drivers explained, in no flattering terms


When Mini makes a video about its drivers, we would expect to see something interesting that glorifies those who drive a Mini. This video though, takes things in the entirely opposite direction. We’re not sure what kind of a creative mind was...






When Mini makes a video about its drivers, we would expect to see something interesting that glorifies those who drive a Mini. This video though, takes things in the entirely opposite direction. We’re not sure what kind of a creative mind was employed, but seriously, if a guy jumps over seats and people in a theater, you don’t say “Oh hey! This guy is so full of life.” You call such guys douchebags, so full of shit. Also, dude, teach your dog a few things, it’s going to get itself killed. The only high point in the video was when the guy races after the chick in the elevator, and that’s because they didn’t make him run up the stairs. Whew! Ranting: really makes you feel lighter.

With the debut of the Lexus LFA at the Tokyo Motor Show, the car had a companion for itself in the form of a wire-frame model. The model has the appearance of what the car might have looked like when it was being rendered through software. The cutaway “sculpture” clearly shows the powertrain of the car, and its mighty 4.8-l V10, together with a few of its mechanical components.

The Tramontana R is a beast to be reckoned with, as reinforced by the supercar managing to not look entirely clumsy even with that paintjob. The paintjob however, happens to be a highlight for this Tramontana R. The car has been hand-painted by Fernando Leal-Audirac, and the paintjob uses metallic paints enriched with gold and the powder of precious gems. With a paintjob like that, even a scratch could be extremely expensive. But let’s get real, the V12 powered monster for €2 million ($2.95 million), will obviously land in a private garage, only to be seen rarely by a lucky few. The car is selling on JamesList.
