Pagani the Development and the Birth of the New Huayra

Pagani
Among the very few new supercar brands that have successfully managed to challenge the establishment and the likes of traditional sports car builders such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bugatti, is Pagani Automobile.

The Zonda remained in production until 2011 when Pagani presented it's second model, the Huayra at last year's Geneva Motor Show.

Cadillac CTS-V Wagon gets Strapped to the Dyno, Results Compared with CLS 63 AMG


The Corvette may be the quintessential American sports car, but it's not the only one to challenge established European brands.

Over the past few years, GM's Cadillac division has also churned out some pretty interesting proposals targeting Germany's finest, namely the products made by Audi Quattro GmbH, BMW M and Mercedes-Benz AMG.

The CTS-V in all three body styles is one them. A 6.2-liter V8 engine aided by an Eaton supercharger helps the CTS-V produce 556-horses and 551 lb-ft (746.2 Nm) of torque, matching or even beating its German opponents.

Oops…Toyota 86 Coupe Drifts Into a Metal Barrier in Japan


Drifting a lightweight, rear-wheel drive coupe like the Toyota 86, which is Japan's version of the North American Scion FR-S and the European Toyota GT 86, on a wet parking lot can be loads of fun just as long as you accept the increased risk of losing control.

Which is what happened to one of the drivers trying out the 86 at a parking lot in Odaiba, Japan, last Friday on March 9.

Fortunately for the driver, he didn’t hit the metal barrier hard thus reducing the damages to the car. If you want to see what happened, head past the break for the video.

Cadillac Says 'Front to Back' CTS Ad is Real, Releases Additional Footage


In late December of 2011, Cadillac published a thirty-second clip on the CTS sedan named "Front to Back" showing two cars riding alongside each other, with one driving forward and the other in reverse.

Apparently, some viewers weren't sure if said scene on the commercial was real or not so Cadillac came out with some additional footage from different angles.

"Many of you were surprised to learn that our CTS ad with the two vehicles driving side-by-side was 100% authentic," a Cadillac spokesperson wrote on the brand's Facebook page. "Now, as promised, we're giving you all the extended footage of our amazing drivers in action."

Fiat Airs Brand New "Baby" Commercial for the 500 in the States


The Fiat brand is slowly abandoning the banal Jennifer Lopez ads for its 500 city car and moving towards sexier and cheekier spots like the overly successful "Seduction" clip featuring Catrinel Menghia with some 8.3 million views on Fiat's Youtube channel and "House Arrest" with Charlie Sheen and Catrinel Menghia that has garnered around 1.8 million views in two weeks.

Coinciding with the broadcast debut of "House Arrest" this evening on local and national TV stations as well cable channels, is another new commercial for the 500 named "Baby".

The new 30-second ad shows two young men in the front seats and a baby boy in the back pulling by a 1967 Imperial, at which point the toddler joins his fingers in the traditional Italian way and says something to the stunned driver (our Italian readers can help with the translation).
