| Ferrari F430 destroyed in Russian crash Posted: 27 Apr 2009 03:01 PM PDT  Looks like young Russians have a big problem keeping their cars intact. After about a month ago a Chrysler Crossfire hit a truck, with the two Chrysler passenger lost their lives, another tragedy was about to happen, this time in Moscow. According to the reports, a 19 year old Russian teen was doing more than 125 mph in his Ferrari F430, when he lost control of the car and smashed into a Range Rover. Amazingly, the Ferrari driver (whose dad seems to be one of Russia’s top bank managers) and the passenger are alive and they were taken to a local hospital and it looks like they’re gonna be ok. As for the Range Rover’s passengers, no serious injuries were reported. What else can we add? Except that we’re glad everyone’s ok but the photos of the destroyed Ferrari really broke our hearts. We just hope this will be a lesson to the kids and next time dad let’s them drive one of his supercars they’ll be more careful because they might not get that lucky again.

| Aston Martin One-77 finally unveiled to the public Posted: 27 Apr 2009 11:46 AM PDT  This weekend, the amazing Aston Martin One-77 was finally unveiled and we got to see it in all its splendor at the Concorso d’Eleganza which took place at the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. The car was first shown at last year’s Paris Motor Show, but it was partially covered with a cloth, Aston representatives saying that potential buyers will see it first and only after that the rest of us, mortals, will get the chance to have a look at it. Unfortunately, we couldn’t attend the Italian event, but judging by these photos we can say that the car is amazing. And we’re not the only ones saying that, because the car made an impressive debut, winning the Design Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes, with more than 30% of the total votes given by the visiting public. Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez said: “Embodying everything Aston Martin stands for; the One-77 has proven itself as the most desirable automotive art form at its premiere today. We have achieved a new level of design and craftsmanship which has been clearly recognised by the public here in the homeland of design at Villa d’Este.” Photo Gallery: Aston Martin One-77 debut

| Mercedes Benz CLK ‘Luis Vuitton’ Edition Posted: 27 Apr 2009 06:35 AM PDT  No, this isn’t a new special edition Mercedes. Though the German car maker has been a partner for all sorts of fashion events like the Berlin Fashion Week or London Fashion Week, the car you see here is more likely the result of some lady’s love for the famous French luxury brand (if this belongs to a man, we feel really, really sorry for him). The Merc was spotted in Charlotte, North Carolina by one of Jalopnik’s readers and we’re not sure if this is stylish (yeah, right!) or just another kitsch. What do you think, you like it?

| First photos of the Bugatti Veyron special 100th anniversary edition? Posted: 23 Apr 2009 10:34 AM PDT  Last month, at the Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti introduced a special edition of the Veyron, called Bleu Centenaire, a one-off model that was created to mark the company’s 100th anniversary. But it seems that not all Bugatti planned for the celebration, because Motorpasion reports that at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este which starts tomorrow, the French company will unveil four more anniversary special edition Veyrons, each one paying homage to Bugatti’s pre-World War II Grand Prix drivers Jean-Pierre Wimille, Achille Varzi, Malcom Campbell and Hermann Zu Leiningen. Like all previous special editions, there are no performance upgrades, the cars featuring a special paint job combined with polished aluminium front fenders and doors and some other styling upgrades. No mention on the pricing, but we’re sure the four models will be sold out almost immediately. Photo Gallery: Bugatti Veyron special anniversary editions

| Next generation Renault Clio sketches surface Posted: 23 Apr 2009 08:56 AM PDT  It looks like Renault is working hard preparing for the future, especially in the small car class, where the competition is incredibly taugh. Because here are leaked designs of the next generation Renault Clio, which is most likely to debut in 2011 or 2012, we don’t know yet for sure, since Renault hasn’t even confirmed the model. However, since we didn’t see any spy shots of this car undergoing tests, it’s safe to assume it will be some time before we see it on display at a motor show and what we probably have here are some early design proposals, but we like it so far. What do you think? Photo Gallery: Next generation Renault Clio designs

| Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS: the 750 hp beast based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Posted: 23 Apr 2009 08:17 AM PDT  My God, have you ever seen something more terrifying? And I’m not sure if it’s in a good or a bad way. I mean, imagine cruising down the highway and spotting this thing in your mirrors. Must be pretty scary. Call me crazy, but I absolutely love this, the Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS. Based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, the car features an impressive and extremely aggressive body kit, with a front apron extended by 60 mm with integrated aero lip, extensive air inlets, a completely new bonnet which opens forward, body extensions mounted all the way from the front to the rear, new side skirts, rear skirt extended by 40 mm, race diffuser and new rear spoiler with carbon flanks, the exterior package being completed by huge 22-inch GT SPORT forged rims. All the body parts are made of carbon fiber, which means the whole car is 250 kg lighter than the serial Cayenne, which of course means performance figures go through the roof. The main upgrade which was made to the V8 engine is the increase of its displacement, up to 5 liters. By using fortified forged pistons, special connecting rods, racing turbochargers, larger air intercooler and new engine electronics maps, the Gemballa engineers managed to squeeze 750 hp (552 kW) at 6,400 rpm and a max torque of 1,050 Nm at 3,200 rpm. This means the Tornado sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds and its top speed goes over 300 km/h (186 mph). There’s no point in describing the interior, you have to look at the photos to see what they did there. So, what do you think about the car? Is it hot or it makes you feel sick? Oh, and before you answer that, we forgot to tell you there will only be 50 units made and each one’s price starts from 400,000 Euros ($522,000). Photo Gallery: Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS

| Seat Exeo gets tuning program from JE Design Posted: 16 Apr 2009 08:23 AM PDT  There’s not a lot of news going around about Seat’s new car, the Exeo, who received some pretty negative feedback at its debut, last year in Paris. But here’s a tuning program, one of the first, I think, coming from the German tuner JE Design. There were no important mechanical changes (except a 35 mm ride height lowering kit) or engine upgrades mention, so we assume it’s only a styling package, with new sport radiator grille without the SEAT logo, new front spoiler, new side skirts, diffuser panel with carbon look, new exhaust with sport end muffler and four stainless steel pipes and JE Design light allow Multispoke wheels available in 18- and 19-inch dimensions (shadow silver or graphite silver matt finish). All equipments are available for separate purchase, with prices ranging from 199 Euros ($260) for the radiator grille up to 899 Euros ($1,190) for the exhaust. If we want to be a little mean to Seat, we’d probably say the reason there aren’t many tuning programs for the car would be that any package available for the previous generation Audi A4 would probably fit perfectly the new Exeo too. But we’re not going to be mean and we’re gonna say the JE Design package is a decent addition to the Exeo sedan. Photo Gallery: Seat Exeo tuning by JE Design
