We’ve all been waiting for Gymkhana 4 about 30 minutes after Gymkhana 3′s initial multiple viewings last year. This video does not only not disappoint- it sets the bar for awesome. Movie sets? Check. Big Foot? Check. Way bigger budget with ridiculous GoPro action? Check. The HOLLYWOOD MEGAMERCIAL part of it certainly lives up to the name. Please watch below- and repeat, repeat, repeat……..

KANYE AND JAY-Z MAKE A 57 GO TOPLESS (video)

chrisacker — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 02:27:29 +0000

Hip Hop moguls Kanye West and Jay-Z recently came out with a great DIY video on how to make your Maybach 57 a roofless junkyard-rod. The video for their hit “Otis” features them not only scalping a $350,000+ car, but hooning around in it with 4 purdy ladies in the back. The video, of course, is above and beyond but at the same time- everything we’d all love to do. The car that was produced for the video will be sold at auction to support famine and drought relief efforts in Africa,

Ken Block popped over the big pond recently for the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed and showed the excited crowd of Brits how us ‘mericans like to hoon. Mr. Block was Goodwood’s 2010 hooning champion and this year he successfully defended his title and is still the reigning king of hoon. Check out the action below.

The one and only NALDEN got to visit the Koenigsegg factory recently. And, of course, it looked like an awesome and very worthwhile visit (doughnuts in a Koenigsegg might rank pretty high up on the ‘ol to do list before I die). Check the very well done vid below and wish that you were there (and peep NALDEN when you are done).

BOOOYAA! Mercedes Benz’s limited Black Series vehicles always find a special place in our hearts. Merc’s newest edition to the Black Series family is the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, which just got spotted making it’s debut in France by Speedfans (merci beaucoup!). According to them: “What i know right now from my colleague who was there is that its the 6.2 liters NA V8, with 517 ps [510 hp], around 640 NM of torque [472 lb-ft] (it’s nearly the same configuration as in the previous CLS63). Its 20kg [44lbs} lighter than the standard AMG coupe, LSD is standard, it has the MCT gearbox, 4 seats (first time on a Black), a bigger rear spoiler is optional as will be some more 'track focused' features (no details yet). On sale mid November in Germany for less than 100K euros, beginning of 2012 for the rest of the world. Don't know for the importation on your side of the Atlantic."

The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador is by far one of the most anticipated super cars coming out in recent memory, and this video goes through the lengthy and precise process by which one gets pieced together. Let’s just say it isn’t exactly the GM manufacturing line (no offense GM!). Click below and take a peek for yourself.

THIS IS WHY PIKES PEAK IS SCARY (video)

Some of the world’s best drivers are still put in their place by Pikes Peak. Bobby Regester and his modified Pontiac Sunfire found that out this past weekend when he literally drove off a cliff. Luckily for Bobby, he didn’t continue all the way down the mountain thanks to a very well placed boulder and he was actually able to walk away from the crash. Unfortunately, he is now suffering from permanent puckered-up disorder though.

HELL YEAH- A VISUAL GUIDE TO WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU OWN AN ENZO (video)

chrisacker — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 19:51:54 +0000

The Ferrari Enzo. It’s hard to imagine being one of the privileged few that owns one of the most rare and expensive super cars ever built; something that a lot of us will never be able to do. But what’s even harder to wrap my head around is the number of Enzo owners that don’t even drive them. The collectors who cage them up in a barn or storage facility somewhere, never to see the light of day. It’s like buying the finest thoroughbred race horse and taking them straight to the glue factory. Such a waste. Let the Enzo driver below show you how it should be:

ULTIMATE NERD PRANK (video)

Peter Ronchetti is the General Manager at Legoland CA, and his employees pulled a little switcheroo on him. They replaced his Volvo XC60 with a life sized Lego replica made of 201,076 bricks. The 2,934-pound Legovo (or maybe Volego? Hmmmm) had to be placed using a fork lift. As a die hard Lego fan myself I can certainly appreciate this, but the question I have is how the hell did his employees find enough time to build a full sized SUV out of Legos, and how did Peter not notice?
