Gucci Pontiac Sunfire? FTL!

Well let’s see, there once was an Eddie Bauer Edition Ford Explorer, a Coach Edition Lexus ES300, and a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versace Edition, which were tasteful “name-branded” cars that all came from the factory. Outside of the factory, we have “customizers” who feel the need to take it upon themselves to add a name-brand to their own ride. Some are somewhat tasteful and others are down-right ridiculous such as this “Gucci” Pontiac Sunfire shown in the images below taken from the L4P.com forum. I thought that the Luis Vuitton Bentley was ridiculous but this Gucci Pontiac Sunfire takes the cake.

The latest Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is truly a remarkable car and what most car enthusiasts would consider “fast”. The video that we found today redefines “fast” for the Z06 putting it in another class as it is able to run the quarter mile (1/4 mile) in 8.8 seconds at 154mph. That would make it the world’s fastest C6 Vette… that is until you find a faster one and post it in our comment section below!
View the video below and Enjoy!

Double Exotic Crash: Audi R8 Crashes Into Ferrari 599 GTB
What are the odds of winning the lottery? Probably about the same as the odds are for two new exotic cars crashing into each other.
Just yesterday, a multi-exotic car crash happened in Fu Zhou, China involving an Audi R8 and Ferrari 599 GTB. The Driver of the Audi R8 slammed into the rear of the Ferrari 599 GTB after a taxi suddenly stopped to pick up a customer. Both drivers were able to walk away with minor injuries that probably hurt a lot less than their feelings after their insurance company has to pay for these damages. Interestingly enough, the Audi R8 appears to have not faired as well as the Ferrari 599 GTB in the accident.

It’s a dirty job, but someone has to drive around the 2.5 mile oval at 200 miles per hour about 200 times battling it out against over 30 other skilled drivers in their superior wind slicing 600+ horse power machine. After this mouthful is all said and done, Helio Castroneves takes the checkered flag for the 93rd Indianapolis 500. All eyes were on all of the contenders including Castroneves and Danica Patrick as it was anyone’s race to be taken home. Castroneves – Team Penske was the fastest qualifier expected to be in the top few finishers if not the winner and that is just what he was. This is Helio’s 3rd victory.
