The special edition Lancer Evo X that will begin production soon will be a five-speed GSR model with more horsepower, a tweaked suspension and some additional fancy "bits and pieces." We didn't expect to be this, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Final Concept with an ECU tune and new HKS turbo making its 2.0-liter engine good for 473 horsepower. That's 183 more ponies than the stock model.
Based on a five-speed GSR, on top of that power boost it gets larger intakes and intercoolers, an upgr
Uber is suspending its low-cost ridehailing service in France, hoping to defuse an escalating legal dispute and sometimes-violent tensions with traditional French taxi drivers. The unusual concession comes after the stakes mounted this week in Uber's standoff with France: Two senior European managers for the San Francisco-based company were detained Monday and ordered to stand trial, charged with "deceptive commercial practices."
This legal battle reflects the broader struggle that governm
According to M's official magazine, BMW's M division boss Frank van Meel says that their BMW M3 and M4 will be getting some upgrades via its Competition Pack. Revealing the news in an exclusive interview, Van Meel goes on to say that the changes include more power than what the current 3.0-litre turbocharged engine produces and an even sharper driving dynamics. Expect the cabin to get more carbonfibre bits and other special add-ons too.
At the moment no other details about the Competition P
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuN421qNmxEThe Macau Grand Prix takes place on a notoriously difficult street circuit that claims numerous cars, drivers, and riders every single year. The 2017 event is no different, with a 12-car pileup claiming half the field on the first lap of GT car qualifying. Daniel Juncadella, at the front of the pack, hit a barrier and spun in such a way that the rest of the field behind him bunched up in a chain reaction of collisions that red-flagged the session.

Construction works for five stations on the new Jurong Region Line (JRL) are expected to start next year and slated for completion in 2026.
The five stations are Choa Chu Kang, Choa Chu Kang West, Tengah, Hong Kah and Corporation, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said yesterday. The authority has awarded two contracts worth $739.5 million to construct the five MRT stations.
The stations will form part of JRL, Singapore's seventh MRT line, which is set to open in three stages from 202
Whether buying a new or used car, the process can be stressful. You will be paying exorbitant sum for buying a new car. Whether you buy secondhand, you can never be certain if your new car won't be a headache the moment you drive out of the showroom.
In the latter instance, we occasionally refer to faulty vehicles as "lemons." The laws protecting consumers from subpar vehicles "lemon laws." This is a global term, so in other countries like the states, it is also called lemons. But why
Porsche will introduce a new brake energy recovery system as a standard feature in all V8 Panamera models starting this August.
The new technology is said to deliver a considerable improvement in fuel economy to the Panamera. In the Panamera Turbo model, the energy recovery system accounts for a 0.7 liters/100 km improvement in consumption. When combined with the new option of low roll-resistance, all-season 19-inch tires, the Turbo's fuel-economy rating drops to 11.3 liters/100 km from its
Monaco. Vettel wins again. His first ever win at Monaco. And it IS Groundhog day but at least the 2011 Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix wasn't a procession of cars like it usually is year after year. Sebastian Vettel's win for Red Bull Racing wasn't a walk in a park. It was a race filled with the very good looking SLS Safety Car, red flags, stoppages and a lot of accidents. It is Monaco, but with a slightly different tinge to it.
Vettel's win was quite unexpected. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso's sec
The 2011 Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix concluded with Sebastian Vettel coming in first and he is almost assured to be crowned this year's F1 champion. Discussing Vettel's win over in Singapore is somehow pointless as he drove exceptionally well and the Red Bull F1 car in winning form. This year is his and there is nothing we can do about it but enjoy the performance.
Now if you've been following this year's F1 like I have been you'd have noticed that the media has been trying hard to create
It was a sad year for Toyota in Singapore this year when the figures came out. BMW has popped the Japanese car maker off its throne after 9 years and taken the top spot, being the best selling car brand here.
Second place went to Mercedes Benz and Toyota came in a shy third place with their sales shrinking to nearly half at 3562. The main cause for this shift in the car sales arena was the limitation of COEs last year which triggered tougher competition and edged the COE premiums upwards, an
A video of the custom Pagani Zonda 760 RS was found recently.
A 'one-off' 760 RS was being readied for delivery to a Chilean owner, despite the Zonda being out of production. Horacio Pagani made clear that bespoke models would be produced, and the next two Zonda 760 models will come with a manual transmission.
Now two more 760hp Zonda will be made. Interestingly one model has been ordered by former F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton of McLaren Mercedes Racing team. Hamilton was quoted as
Porsche is known for the highest number of wins for the Le Mans endurance race series so it was no surprise when it declared its intent to develop a brand new challenger after facing defeat.
You see, when the McLaren F1 GTR finished first overall and 1-2-3 in its class in 1995, the championship winning German team could not handle the defeat well.
Thus in a quick span of just six weeks, Porsche engineered and debuted the 911 GT1 race car at the 1996 Le Mans and finished fi
Recently, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, a Malaysian professional badminton player, wed his girlfriend of 11 years, Datin Wong Mew Choo. As a sport car lover, Lee ensured that his wedding entourage is no less impressive than his Olympics achievements.
From the video, his wedding entourage consists of a couple of Bentley Continental Flying Spur sedans, Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Even the traffic police was activated to ensure law and order during the w

As a kid, had you ever watched the movie 'Back to the Future'? Well, I had, which is why I am familiar with such a thing as a time travel machine (Delorean, if you remember), well, fictionally, of course. Yes, as they say, there's no way to turn back time no matter what you do. Wait, is that really true, if at all?
Judging from recent happenings, that may be wrong. As a matter of fact, the Chinese may have actually found a way to go back through time. Just recently, a tunnel situated at nort
Mention fast wagons and usually you will hear people talk about Audis and Volvos. But things may change with the creation of this Golf Variant Youngster 5000 study. While this car is only a product thought out by a group of six youngsters from VW's Zwickau plant, the changes done to this Golf Variant are not over the top. Which also means we could see a Golf R Variant soon?
Anyway, highlights of this spruced up Variant include the bright Arancio argos pearl front and rear bumpers from the Go
Is it true that all old people drive boring and slow cars? No. Not true, according to YouTube channel, LivingLifeFast who has found a British 75-year old who has a pretty unique Volkswagen Golf R.
Obviously a petrolhead, the owner came from a BMW M135i and has now switched to the Golf R. Despite modifying the Golf R to 450bhp, he was still not satisfied and has since pushed the Golf R to a insane 600bhp. Bear in mind a stock Golf R has 'only' 306bhp!

Toyota North America's latest document on car sales revealed that there were two LFAs that were sold in all of 2018.
This comes as a pleasant surprise as production of the Japanese supercar ended in December 2012. Seems like the company had problems selling all 500 built...
According to Carscoops, 2017 also saw three brand new units being sold and a possible seven still up for grabs in the States.
Back then, the LFA was known for its rev-happy 552bhp 4.8-litre naturally-aspirated V1
Mazda announced that it is launching a final edition of its rotary-engined sports car, the RX-8, which will only be available in the Japan domestic market with sales set to start on 24 November. Production will be limited to 1,000 units. Stricter fuel economy and CO2 emission regulations have forced the Hiroshima-based carmaker to pull the RX-8 from overseas markets and keeping it alive only in Japan.
The RX-8 Spirit will be sold in two versions, one with a six speed manual transmission bas
The introduction of Volkswagen's VR6 engine in the early 1990s ushered a new era of vehicle powertrain usage. The narrow angle of the VR6 engine enabled Volkswagen to offer a wide range of applications where a traditional V engine would not normally fit. The "VR" name stands for "V-Reihenmotor," combining the German words for V-shaped and straight engines, and the "6" is the number of cylinders.
The narrow design of the VR engine (item C, pictured above) has made the usage of the engi
Sometimes in life, when you are looking for something or someone, you end up finding something else. That is quite natural as I strongly believe it has happened to many people at a point of their life.
It happened to an American man who was searching for his birth mother and unexpectedly ended up with a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS that has been in the family for many years.
Zach S from Virginia, United States; first saw the Camaro RS/SS in 2006 when he met his birth mother in Arizona
