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..

  • Sparks fly on BKE after motorcyclists collide and knock each other down

    TL;DR: A motorcyclist on BKE knocked another bike down and sent both parties off their bikes, skidding across the road. The rider at fault was surely having a good time going fast, feeling the cool night wind against them as they wove through traffic.  However, they wove one too many times, and are now likely facing a lot of trouble. What happened?  On 21st March 10.40 p.m, at Bukit Timah Expressway, two motorcyclists went into each other after one of them did an abrupt

    Driver fled after crashing a Porsche Macan into a traffic light and overturning

    TL;DR - No way home for this driver as s/he fled the scene after crashing the SUV onto a traffic light and a concrete barrier.  No money, lots of problems.  Too much money, more problems.  Watch this 38-second video of the Porsche Macan going from a high performance car to a useless one.  What happened? The car collided into a temporary traffic light and a concrete barrier at Ophir Road after Beach Road.  It was told that the driver had escaped from the Macan,

    ‘Kan Cheong Spider’ blindly drives into yellow junction box onto incoming traffic

    TL;DR - A collision occurred in Yishun between a Kia Forte and Honda Vezel at the yellow junction box.  Every Singaporean would know what it means to be kan cheong. We are basically born to sweat ‘kiasu-ness’.  For our foreign friends, kan cheong simply means impatient, edgy and hasty. So a kan cheong spider just refers to someone who possesses such traits.  Watch this 51-second video of a Honda Vezel colliding into a Kia Forte as it drives out from a minor road straight into the

    Robbers target the occupants of a Toyota in JB, leaving a bloody mess

    You might want to reconsider your next holiday destination after this story.    What happened?  3 robbers robbed a man from his car while in front of Teega Suites in JB at the drop-off lobby.   The robbers used weapons such as hatchets and a machete in order to break the Toyota’s windows and harm the victim.  The Toyota was unable to move due to a Honda Civic blocking his way, and an unidentified white car at the back, leaving the victim stuck in the ca
