Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale - October 14 Teaser Video

Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale - October 14 Teaser Video



Nice surprise signed Maserati ...  hard to imagine that the Granturismo S could mutate to an elegant approach to Grand Tourism radicalism. Confirmation on video on October 14.

As a preamble, a cavernous rumbling and then a few attributes. It speaks for itself: for Maserati, it was confusing the diva of her bourgeois philosophy, gently encanaillée. By becoming MC Stradale, the Granturismo has incorporated the tenets of the track.

Weight decrease (- 110 kg or 1670 kg announced), slightly higher power (450 hp) and optimized balance. No shock treatment, but the result is there, always punctuated by a V8 to stamp more eloquent than ever ... See you in fortissimo, this Friday.

Video: Incredible Crash in the Ocean of a Ferrari Enzo

Video: the incredible crash in the ocean of a Ferrari Enzo





If you thought you had seen everything in terms of incredible crashes and supercars, you were wrong. After the Bugatti Veyron that a dip in the lake, this is now the Ferrari Enzo that plunges into the Atlantic.

Yes, you are not dreaming: in a picture of opening, it is indeed an Enzo sinking into the sea This surreal scene was seen as part of a hill climb held on closed road in the U.S., the Targa Newfoundland.

Owner of the dealership ZR Cars specializes in exceptional vehicles, Zahir Rana was driving his Enzo tuned by Edo Competition, a device created to resemble the FXX and equipped with a V12 whose power is increased to some 840 horsepower.




840 horses, it was probably a little too much that day. Zahir Rana was in full attack when his supercar bounced on a small bump, enough to destabilize the car to the point of sending it spun to the left. The problem is that on the left side was simply the Atlantic Ocean. So a dip estimated at 1 million euros for the poor Zahir Rana who is fortunately the thing with a lot of posting.

Alfa Romeo End of life for 159

Alfa Romeo End of life for 159



Final end of the road for the beautiful Alfa Romeo 159 (a few months after the right-hand drive versions), which leaves the market discreetly and will disappear in the next day of production lines of the plant in Pomigliano of Arco leave room for the new Panda. Alfa Romeo is also known that some stocks of 159 sedan and the 159 SW with the 2.0 L engine JTDM 136 in standard finish (4 colors and 2 interior) will still be offered to customers.

After six years of the 159 retired career thus leave room for... nothing if the void in Alfa Romeo range which not now includes two models (MiTo and Giulietta) before the arrival of a hypothetical Giulia continually pushed for reasons more or less valuable or ridiculous (the last being the problems of dimensions for the American market)

A beautiful car, and generally successful at the competition should have done a great career if people marketers of Alfa and Fiat Group's financial notably did not want to play the "Audi pricing" when it is on the market.

Pity! A beautiful Italian that will cross with pleasure on the road and which is found in occasion and in a few years in collection. Arrivederci 159!

With bluish logos Lancia without upholstery alcantara ... For whom, for what? Hard to say, especially when we know the faults but also the best tariffs too large minivan 5.14 m long and 233 g CO2/km (a Ford Galaxy with the same power emits only 152 g CO2) ....

To discover at the Frankfurt show and in the concession during next autumn!
