TL;DR – A Nissan NV200 and a Maserati GranTurismo S were caught on camera racing one another along the KJE. However, the race did not go as one would have expected.

The Maserati GranTurismo S is a beautiful car.

It’s a 4.7L car housing a V8 engine that pushes 400+ horsepower.

We’re talking 0 to 100km/hr in about 4 seconds!

But yet, in this 47-second video, you can see how it loses to a Nissan NV200 (a van).

What happened?

The first thing that comes to mind after watching the video is a quote from Vin Diesel in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise.

The video starts as how you would expect it to go.

The GranTurismo speeds ahead of the NV200.

But the forward thinking NV200 driver takes advantage of an empty pocket of space on the first lane and barrels forward.

Meanwhile, the GranTurismo got stuck behind slower vehicles on the left.

I think it's taken out of context. There's traffic or cars all around. How to drive fast? Did the van get a trophy? Does it make the van driver a cham? Then it is all about a moment of ego satisfaction. Song meh?

More importantly is usually not how fast you can drive but how fast you take to stop!…

I think otherwise though...me think the maser was planning to exit in any case...conventionally sedan cars would always intuitively chiong rightmost lane but he didnt...

Come on...the driver of the maser had absolutely no need to prove himself in front of this van driver..

  • Pedestrian defies gravity and lands on his back after Mazda 5 crashes into him at Yuan Ching Road

    TL;DR - Mazda 5 driver’s failure to obey traffic rules sent a pedestrian flying at Yuan Ching Road.  This Mazda driver definitely lives up to the standard of being a ‘kiasu’ Singaporean.  Watch this to see what I mean.  What Happened?  A (dramatic) footage surfaced on SGRV of a Mazda driver knocking down a pedestrian and sending him in the air at Yuan Ching Road.   The traffic light was green for pedestrian crossing (with a significant number of seconds left) when a

    Cheapskate BMW driver pumps the forbidden fuel in Malaysia and gets caught

    TL;DR - SG-registered BMW got called out for pumping cheap RON95 petrol in JB reserved for MY-registered vehicles only.  We all love a good cheap thrill. But not as much as this BMW driver.  Watch this 75-second video of him not giving a hoot even after being called out by the cam-car.  What happened?  A SG-registered BMW driver was seen pumping RON95 petrol in Malaysia, when it is strictly only meant for MY-registered vehicles. The way he strategically used hi

    Non-stop rain erodes SG roads causing 'bumper and undercarriage deadly potholes' to appear

    TL;DR - More road potholes spotted around Singapore after days of continuous downpour, resulting in imbalance of roads and bumpy vehicles.  Potholes are just the worst. Watch this 63-second video of different vehicles driving past multiple road potholes. What are potholes? The smallest road flaws can develop into potholes. Due to water seepage and ongoing pressure from heavy cars, these crevices enlarge. A pothole is created when specific sections of the road deteriorate

    Cam car tries to cut into a McLaren Convoy but gets denied access by a McLaren 720s

    TL;DR - Cam-car's attempt to filter behind the McLaren Convoy was disrupted by a McLaren 720S that sped past to prevent overtaking.  A perfect example of monkey on wheels.   Watch this 33-second video to see how this cam-car tried to sandwich between two McLarens but almost got 'rekt'.  So what happened? The cam-car signaled right with the intention to filter to the next lane behind the McLaren Convoy.  However, his/her attempt failed as a McLaren 720S sped up to pr
