Jaguar is Building a 4WD F-Type

Jaguar is Building a 4WD F-Type — Two pieces of interlinked excellence to report. Jaguar is teaming up with the Bloodhound SSC Land Speed Record team, and, in the process, confirming one of the worst kept secrets around – there will be a four-wheel-drive F-Type. The partnership with Bloodhound goes beyond pure sponsorship into technical assistance. For instance, Jaguar’s supercharged V8, as fitted in the F-Type R coupe, will also be used in the Bloodhound. But only as the rocket fuel pump.

Forgotten Corvette collection emerges from the dust after 25 years

Peter Max's abandoned, old collection of Corvettes is being brought back to life. Peter Max was not a car guy. So when he purchased a collection of 36 Chevrolet Corvettes, one from every year of manufacture up until 1989, he had a very specific plan: He would use this slice of American history as a tool to self-promote his work as an artist, painting the machines in lurid colors while staging them in various oddball scenarios only the most expressive of minds could envision.

Supercar Mercedes SLS AMG, Fell in the ocean

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in mention was en route from Germany to Argentina, where its buyer was patiently waiting for his delivery after spending a whopping $710,00 USD for the white sports car. While we don’t have too much insight on what exactly caused the unfortunate event, we do know that three containers fell off from a cargo ship while over the waters of the Rio de la Plata near the port of Ensenada in Buenos Aires, and as you guessed it, one of them was carrying the SLS AMG.

 It’s saddening to see that the vehicle fell to its demise so close to its final destination, but rescue crews were able to swiftly recover the vehicle from the bottom of the ocean just after five days. While they acted fast, the SLS AMG sustained a level of damage that was beyond repair. After spending five days in the sun to dry out, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG’s engine turned on, alas the electrical components were fried beyond comprehension.

The America's New Super Electric Car Renovo Coupe - $529,000

Let's hope there's room for another electric car from Silicon Valley, because the Renovo Coupe is stunning. Stunning, in that it's a two-seat coupe built on the chassis of a Shelby CSX9000. And it gets to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, going up to a top speed 120 mph – which isn't bad for an EV. Renovo says its motor produces 500 horsepower and 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque, running with a 740 volt battery pack that's roughly double the power of the one in a Tesla Model S. Renovo started working on the vehicle four years ago, according to Automotive News, and says it's now taking orders for the roughly 100 cars that will be made starting next year. It showed off a running prototype at Pebble Beach Friday. The company's founders see a void now that Tesla no longer makes a sports car, and even at this price, it's hard to see how they couldn't move every one of these great-looking coupes they make.

8 wheels Russian SUV (6 Photos)

8 wheels Russian SUV

Moscow, Russia — The growing significance of the Russian market was only too evident at this year’s Moscow Motor Show, as was witnessed by the number of world premieres and the fact Audi says that the Russian market, with its appetite for upscale automobiles, will soon overtake Germany in terms of sales — an estimate of some 40,000 vehicles.Audi revealed the face-lifted R8. The changes are very subtle and key on the lighting. While there are changes in the front bumper, it is the new LED headlights that give the look zing. Visually, the LED high and low beams sit on either side of the redesigned LED daytime running lights. These LEDs also function as the turn signal indicators by switching to an amber colour that sees the directional signal’s light moving from the inside of the lamp to the outside, pointing toward the direction of the turn.

Mississippi Trike Finds Use for FWD Ford

Is That A Ford Escort ‘Hack-Back’ LX? — All the camouflage in the world isn’t going to hide this contraption, which appears to be an early 90’s Escort hacked, chopped, and zip-tied to the rear of a soft-tail. There’s no engine mounted on the bike so we have to assume they are utilizing one of the inline-four equipped motors Ford offered way back when, the 88hp 1.9L or the 127hp 1.8L. Either way it sure puts a smile on the face of the owner. Although a pretty ingenious build, it really doesn’t do a whole lot for the Magnolia States’ image. 

Italian Police Car Crashed (10 Pictures)

According to The Guardian:
The Lamborghini Gallardo that crashed into parked cars on its way from an exhibition in Cremona. The crash occurred after the car, which belonged to the Bologna police was cut up (Ed. - We're assuming that's the Euro version of "cut off") by another motorist leaving a service station.

People were slightly injured.
