Someone is not at all pleased to be taking their McLaren P1 GTR on the race tracks exclusively.
The owner of this grey and orange McLaren P1 GTR is rumored to be converting the racetrack GTR into a legal complaint street vehicle. It is known in the super car world, owners converting their exclusive racetrack supercars to street legal cars for everyday road use.
It would be even more cooler if we saw this fantastic McLaren GTR slicing through Europe on the Gumball 3000 2016 rally. A car enthusiast can dream can't he?
Recent footage of the long awaited Telsa Model X has hit the Internet.
A couple of "eagle" eye or should I say "falcon" eye YouTubers caught a prototype car in what seems like a parking lot in sunny California opening and closing its much talked about feature gullwings or what Telsa calls falcon wings. Based on recent discussion on the Interwebs, the operator seems to have to actually manually close the door after it closes. This could be just a quirk of the prototype phase and will not be a part of the final package to lucky owners of the Telsa Model X. If this falcon wing action has your pants and wallet under the weather, you may be able to purchase one of these sick bad boys in 2017 going by Telsa reservations.
A Telsa Model X costs around upwards of $100,000 USD. Has an estimated range of 240miles on a single charge and can accelerate to 60mph in 3.2 seconds.
This model sports SUV will be available for presentation on September 29.
Truthfully, I am not a fan of Bugatti. Bugatti to me seemed stale and non-creative with the similar design elements seen in the Veyron and other spin off iterations like Veyron Super Sport. A Bugatti driving down the road can be a head turner but not the same like a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche 918. Bugatti to me was in the same category as Porsche's 911 design element. Same front and same back concave. The same design elements used year after year. No difference or futuristic push in sleek new forms for the modern age.
Now Bugatti has released something that hopefully would take the serious features of the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo into the successor of the Bugatti Veyron. Waiting to see this beast enter the track in the future very soon.

This one-off Ferrari LaFerrari is painted in Arancio Triplo Strato or orange. The meaning behind our Italian Ferrari language is based on upon the three layered paint body process applied to this magnificent supercar. This one-off is so rare that it seems to have the signature of every Ferrari builder involved in the manufacture of this masterpiece in the engine bay.
This bad boy was found parked at the Spa-Francorchamps race track but was not used and abused on it. Unfortunately, it had to look on forlornly at the wailing of its race car version, the Ferrari FXX K, howling down and up the Belgian track decked out in yellow and black.
As you can see in the video above, this Ferrari has been making quite a few runs around Beverly Hills causing quite the commotion and chaos during the busy summer months in America. The power sliding seems so tame to the four way intersection flyby and rolling a stop sign so tame.
That yellow Qatari LaFerrari terrorizing a Beverly Hills suburbia has been menacing more than a few soccer moms in the neighborhood. The same registered and plated Ferrari LaFerrari has been up to no good on other streets through Los Angeles. In this case in point, a mix use street somewhere as filmed by YouTuber SouthBay Supercars below.
In SouthBay Supercars, you can see the same red Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG following it after its slick power slide. The same red Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the rented house where the same Qatar owned Ferrari, Porsche 911 GT3 and matte black Bugatti Veyron Super Sport sit parked up.
This unfortunate burnout incident has caused a major headache for this Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series owner. In his home country, an arrest warrant has been issued for reckless driving, performing stunts and intentionally making loud noises to attract attention in a European country by the UAE police. Unfortunately, the videographer blurred the owner and driver of the CLK63 AMG Black Series but not his UAE license plate. His smoky burnout performance has cost him dearly on his European holiday when he returns home.
According to witnesses, the Mercedes CLK63 Black Series owner got into an argument with a cyclist I'm assuming dealing with the loud rev pullout down the quite busy London business district. The car owner being offended by the off putting two wheeler, did a fierce 47 meter long burn out for kicks and giggles. Leaving our bemused and probably more than offended cyclist with a bad taste of rubber in his mouth and on his mind. My guess Londoners are getting sick of our UAE supercar brothers hooning night and day on London streets.
A very criminal and insane 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari owner apparently wants to teach others out there how to crash and total one of 500 cars in a residential neighborhood. Not just any neighborhood I might add. Beverly Hills. Yes boys and girls, flashy Beverly Hills where the zip code wreaks of status and wealth. Now back to the main show.
How To Nearly Wreck/Crash A Ferrari LaFerrari 101
1. Driving recklessly down a residential street. Check!
2. Driving recklessly above the posted speed limit. Check!
3. Driving and rolling a stop sign through an intersection. Check!
4. Driving with another friend in his Porsche GT3 doing the same thing. Check!
5. Driving with out taking the safety of others in your million plus car. Check!
Owners of supercars such as this beauty give car supercar owners a bad name. This folks is why certain people can't have nice things. Don't try this at home folks or your neighborhood for that matter. Obviously law enforcement showed up due to anxious concerns of fellow neighbors and children in the area based on the videos.
Stay tuned. There has to be more information/videos of this Beverly Hills LaFerrari madness.
Update 9/14/2015
Apparently the cars in the videos are owned by the Qatari family per Autogespot! Specifically the King of Qatar and his brother or his sons. It looks like the London Arab supercar owners are trading in London summer racing through streets to sunny Los Angeles, California suburbia.
You know your street legal Ferrari ZXX Edo Competition is extremely loud when officials at a race circuit where this beast lives and breathes is denied access. This one off rare Ferrari ZXX was denied access to the Circuit de Spa Francorchamps due to its 850hp V12 engine block generating an astounding ear splitting 142 dB sound.
Trust me the six miinutes of donuts and closed circuit runs outside the Circuit de Spa Francorchamps is enough to send you in Monday to the otorhinolaryngologist (ear doctor).
A very happy German owner cruises around London in his scintillating all black Ferrari LaFerrari with red painted calipers. As we can see here from Supercars of London, the all back paint scheme really shines out in the dark. A stealthy work of art moving silently along the night. Silhouetted only by the blaring lights of the street shops and London's famous double decker buses.
This LaFerrari was definitely born into the darkness.
This incident will surely bring back the infamous accident of the Bugatti owner who trashed his 1 million dollar car into a body of water for fraudulent insurance proceeds. Unfortunately, its not the case for this 2000HP Lamborghini Gallardo owner at Florida Wanna Go Fast Event.
According to reports, the driver of this highly modified Gallardo had already lost his bumper & diffuser in a previous half mile speed run the day before the car set a new record of 233.8 MPH. However, on the second run he lost control once again and ended up into the cold reality of a lake effect. Apparently, doing 200MPH without a diffuser can lead to a nasty case of losing control of the car when a necessary part of the car missing. Thankfully, the the shallow lake didn't total his life's work. This Gallardo will live to see another half mile run for another day.
An unlucky car owner or company has let their rental Chevrolet Camaro get stuck in the sand. Somewhere on a sandy beach, a helpless Jeep Cherokee tries its best with street tires trying to haul a saddened white Chevrolet Camaro that lay helpless as the salty brine of ocean water laps it metal butt. Is this a advertising shoot gone amuck? Hopefully no hefty repair bill comes from this incident. For one thing that we will learn today is that Camaro's don't like the beach.
YouTube videographer Mr. Legolize filmed a first person POV almost comically out of Post-Soviet Russia dashcam variety. As he was being blocked by two trucks on the south bound I-95 at Exit 9 on the New Brunswick Exit, he heard from behind him a semi-trailer coming up from the rear. He nearly ended up being wrecked on the inside of the dividing barrier before the driver of the trailer made evasive action and ended up in the next lane by jumping the metal reinforced barrier. One lucky guy.
Here ladies and gentleman, we have former F1 driver Robert Kubica testing this WRC Ford Fiesta's suspension and pricy shock absorbers which I am certain costs in the region of $6,000 to $10,000 in each corner of the car. Robert Kubica flat out takes the Ford Fiesta to the extreme in the damp testing on this twisting mountain road with no qualms for safety or going over. Kubica just takes that bumpy winding road like nothing.
