Suprise! Zonda 760RS, and custom M3

As you all might know the two cars if i could own any in the world, would be the Pagani Zonda F and the E46 M3(With my own tasteful mods) These 2 cars are my world, i drool when i see them and i cant imagine anything else being in my household in another probably 15 years(M3 much sooner). Today though i have a special surprise for all, a special edition Pagani Zonda and a custom E46 BMW M3.

We'll start with the M3, as you know the M series is pretty famous and the biggest of them all is the famous M5, boasting 500 hp and a sky highs redline this is the executive saloon to have. How does it translate to an M3 though? well it wasnt a typo but rather a man by the name Phil Morrison has put that same V10 from the M5 into the M3. Yes an M3 producing 500 hp from a naturally aspirated engine, but of course this cant be all, no stock m3 could handle that... Well Phil outfitted his ///M with an E90 M3 manual tranny, coil overs, special 3 piece wheels, brake pads and of course brake rotors, which i might add are sitting ridiculously flush with the wheels. Enough of me though enjoy the short video below.




Next up is the big part, the Pagani Zonda is defined as one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and one of the quickest cars ever made(could definitely beat the Bugatti on a track) There have been countless editions introduced by Pagani and every single one never ceases to amaze, from the uniform carbon fiber body, to the howl of that AMG Engine sitting in the bay. I today though am here to introduce a very special Zonda, the Zonda 760 RS, there is only one in the whole world and it costs.... wait for it.... $1.6 million. More than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes this car is pricey, but for good reason to, producing 760 hp about 100 more than the closest Zonda in the line-up this car will eat you for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Engine is amazing, the looks are amazing, and attention to detail is amazing, my only real gripe with this car is that is has a Flappy Paddle gearbox but never mind that, enjoy!

DTM series underway

Other wise known as the German Touring Car masters this racing series. This series has been around for a pretty long time but was discontinued in 96 because of cost and was revamped in 2000 and since then the series has been better than ever.

HWA Mercedes AMG C-CoupéThe series has mainly Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW as they are German, and they are major constructors of touring cars, but since this series can also extend to the rest of Europe other companies like Opel, Jaguar, Renault, and Alfa Romeo can be included. Originally the cars in these series were suppose to be only sedans but now they are primarily coupes, the best part is the actual specifications of the cars. They are all required to be Rear Wheel Drive, 4.0 L V8's that are unfortunately restricted to 470 hp, and the coolest visual part is the special body kits made specifically for racing. Now all of this is nice and all ut you are probably wondering why am i telling you all of this, well the series is starting now but more importantly BMW has announced they will be in the DTM series this year!!! Starring the one and only BMW M3, it'll be BMW's first reappearence in the DTM series since the First-Generation E30 M3.

Lamborghini SUV, New Ducati Ownership, and Dubai Enzo

Lamborghini has finally decided to move back into the SUV sector, dubbed Urus, their first debut being about a decade ago. This new SUV surprise is really a move to get a foothold in China's SUv market which is projected to increase by 56% in 2015. The styling of this new Lambo is going with the crossover SUV look but seems to draw more specifically from the Range Rover Evoque which has a slanted roof starting from the A Beam. As usual the SUV will be All Wheel Drive like every other car in their bull ring(besides the special edition Gallardo Balboa i believe). Demand and interest seems like it will be high for this car and with a estimated 600+ hp power range and a price tag of only around $200K this car is looking pretty good! The only other competition really is the Range Rover Supercharged and the BMW X5M, of course on road the Lambo will probably decimate but the real question is will the Urus have any real off-road capability like the Range Rover?

 Lamborghini's latest SUV "Urus" is on display at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in Beijing, China, Tuesday, April 24, 2012.  

Audi as we all know is a huge German Automaker so huge in-fact that they purchased Lamborghini a few years back and created the monster Murcialago that changed everything the lp-640, one of my personal favorite cars. Today Audi is the owner of another great company, the one and the only Ducati! This isn't even the most crazy news though because Audi agreed to buy them for $1.2 Billion, yes.... 1.2 you aren't going crazy and i didn't make a spelling mistake. What Volkswagon- Audi has done is create a super empire, they have their entry brand(VW), Luxury Brand(Audi), Ultra Performance(Audi, Lamborghini) and now the special vehicles (Ducati). Their reach is starting to expand, the question is really now will the other German Carmakers *cough* *cough* BMW be able to keep up with the exponential expansion of Audi?

Dubai is full of famous, not so famous and ridiculous rich, people so rich in fact that they ditch their 1.6 million dollar Ferraris in a sand ridden parking lot for 20 months!  Why do such an evil thing, well all in the name of taxes and tickets, of around 27K not to mention that this car was wanted by Interpol. This car will be actioned off in the next month and its value could range anywhere from $800K to $1.2Million. Don't think this is the only outcast in Dubai there are hundreds of Supercars in Dubai just lying their waiting to be saved, please somebody find all of these gems!
