Chris Forsberg is a drifting god. The 2009 Formula Drift Champion has found a very inventive way of opening a nice frosty beverage. Instead of using your typical key chain bottle opener, or even being the tough guy that uses their teeth, Chris uses a Nissan 350Z. Badass? Indeed.

Now they might not have the same dynamic as the blokes across the pond, but the Top Gear America team still gets to play with some nice toys. Even though it has the same name, there still seems to be a lot lacking with the feel of the new show. We’ll just have to tune and and see.

I knew that damn Ferrari was too nice to be true, and sure enough, due to the number of BBQ’d 458s around the world they have officially recalled them. Turns out there was an adhesive that attached heat sheilds under the rear fenders that became flammable with high temperatures. Way to go Ferrari! They are replacing the adhesive with rivets that should solve the problem, but sounds like someone was asleep at the wheel with this one.

Unlike the hoax that Top Gear pulled when they said the stig was the former Formual One Champion, Michael Schumacher, it seems that the Stig’s indentity has finally gotten out. His name is Ben Collins, a 35 year old race car driver and stunt man. He has raced in many catagories including Formula Three, GT3, ASCAR, NASCAR and American Le Mans and has appeared in movies such as Quantum of Solace as a stunt double for Daniel Craig. Everything leaked out when he got into a legal battle with the BBC as to whether or not he could reveal that he was the Stig in an upcoming autobiography. The Sunday Times of London broke the news of Collins being the Stig after seeing financial reports from Collins’ own company, Collins Autosport. They noticed he got a substancial bump in pay in 2003 from “driving services provided for the BBC, mainly in the Top Gear programme”, 2003 being the same year that the last Stig went away.
For one, I’m pretty bummed that good ol Stig’s identity is out, especially since last time that happened the previous Stig got canned. Kudos to you, Mr. Collins, for all your amazing drives and I’m sure you’ll land on your feet!
What the hell is going on?! In the past 3 months NINE 458 Italias have been destroyed. This definitely needs to stop! Whoever buys one of these should have to do some sort of driving test or something. Either that, or this car is cursed. Which I really hope isn’t the case, cause I already cut a kidney out for one.
On the way back from the Lt. Kenny Fowler Car Show, our staff film/photo guru, Nick Keating, threw this nice little edit together. Enjoy!

A while back we showed you the first imgaes of the Porsche 918 Spyder. Now for the first time we get to see it actually moving, which is nice to see it can do since it’s only $630,000 (gulp). Hell, for that much money I think it should fly as well, but that might be asking too much. The car will start production, for the lucky few who can get it, next year.

As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, the Ferrari 458 Italia is quite definitely one of the sexiest, most amazing cars on the road today. And then this tool got his mitts on one and look what happens. WARNING: this video is not for the faint of heart.

Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima takes his 897 horsepower, 654 pound-feet of torque Suzuki SX4 up the hill for a little drive. His nickname might be monster, but the car he drives definitely proves to be one too. Check out the vid, and peep those cliffs towards the top. No thanks!
