If you know the automotive history, then you should know that Saab was an airplane manufacturer until late 1940s when it also began manufacturing automobiles. Looks like some Saab owners in Greece wish their cars could fly.
Crazy and quit dangerous for the ones who are by the road. In addition this is extremely bad for the steering, suspension and the body stiffness.
Anyway this reminds me of Saab’s slogan: “Saab, born from Jets”.

This is Unreal!!! On the highway in New Delhi a guy is riding his motorcycle and texting at the same time.
If texting while riding a motorcycle doesn’t sound dangerous enough, then his position is more than dangerous.
It looks like he is just laying there and going with the traffic. Wonder what would happen if he had to break or turn all of a sudden!

We have seen a 2-tone black and white SLR before by Mansory. This time Hamann has released a video preview of their new project called Volcano that also has a 2-tone scheme and is based on the SLR McLaren. Previously Hamann has worked on Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, Porsche’s and Aston Martin’s.
Hamann Volcano gets a very aggressive rear wing and a roof air scoop, adding some racing cues compared to the base SLR. Other modifications we can see include a new rear diffuser, 3-piece alloy wheels, front skirt, triple exhaust and darkened rear lights. We expect to get more details from Hamann soon, meanwhile take a look at the video preview below.

The Estoque is the first sedan in the history of Automobili Lamborghini. With a powerful front mid-engine, permanent all-wheel drive and a sophisticated, precision-tuned chassis,; the Estoque boasts a unique technology package.
As a concept, the Lamborghini Estoque represents one of several possibilities for a third model series within the Lamborghini product line-up. At this point in time, no decisions have been taken in respect of either a third model series of any kind or of the Estoque concept in particular.

2011 Chevy Volt represents a new direction for GM. Once they killed the electric car and now they are back with the Volt.
Even though technically Volt is a hybrid it can use only electric power for up to 40 miles. Electricity is stored in lithium-ion battery. Once the battery is empty Volt’s gasoline engine will work as a generator to power Volt’s electric drive unit.
Below we have the first official video of the production Volt in motion. Enjoy!

In addition to the first spy pictures we brought you two weeks ago, we have also managed to get some very good shots from the Nürburgring also. What we haven’t got yet is a good video of the new NSX to share with you.
There have been some very bad quality videos on youtube of the new NSX, but not good enough to post them here. Now finally Auto Motor und Sport has made a very good video of the new NSX doing some fast laps on the famous Nürburgring.

Nissan GT-R surely is one of the most expected cars. Little while a go Brits placed 700 orders for it in 48 hours.
I guess for a car that costs less than 911 Turbo and laps Nürburgring in 7 minutes and 29 seconds that kind of a popularity is understandable.
Now Nissan has released a promotional video of the GT-R.
Hope that they will have more videos coming soon with no music on the background, just engine sound.

Lamborghini Gallardo PL560-4 is powered by a new 5.2L V10 with FSI direct injection, generating 552hp and 398lb-ft of torque. The engine is heavily based on the new Audi RS6 V10. 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3-7 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 11.8 seconds.
What we have here is two great videos of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. The first one is called “official video” from Lamborghini and the second one is a commercial with Sam Hubinette taking place in downtown LA roads.

Here we have a video from Audi of the new S3.There is now a second top model on the market, with the S3 Sportback joining the three-door Audi S3. Both versions are equipped with the same engine, the reengineered 2.0 TFSI with an output of 195 kW (265 hp). With 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of torque available constantly from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm, the direct-injection, two-liter turbo catapults the three-door model from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 5.7 seconds (Sportback: 5.8 seconds); the top speed is limited electronically to 250 km/h (155.34 mph).

Remember a while ago we had a Chevrolet Matiz commercial featuring a model Olga Farmaki and the question was where is the car!
This time Subaru has taken a totally different approach. No long legged blondes or supermodels.
Instead they have sumo wrestlers washing the new Subaru Forester. I am pretty sure if they replaced these guys with four supermodels no one would not even notice the car. Now there is more chance you ll see the car:)

The race-prepared Lexus LF-A–first spotted during manufacturer testing at the ‘Ring on April 17th–made its official competition debut on Saturday in the ADAC Rundstrecken Trophy Endurance series in Germany. The race was run on a combination of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, along with a sprint portion of the famous Grand Prix circuit, with each lap covering 15.18 miles (24.433 km).
The LF-A placed 77th overall after completing 23 laps during the four-hour race, with its fastest lap coming in at 9:06. Just to reiterate so there’s no confusion: this isn’t the same course that the GT-R and ZR1 are lapping.

The M1 coupe was hand-built between 1978 and 1981 under the Motorsport division of BMW as a homologation special for sports car racing. The body was designed by Giugiaro, taking inspiration from the 1972 BMW Turbo show car.
Originally, BMW commissioned Lamborghini to work out the details of the car’s chassis, assemble prototypes and manufacture the vehicles, but Lamborghini’s financial position meant that BMW reassumed control over the project in April 1978, after seven prototypes were built.
Only 456 production M1s were built, making it one of BMW’s rarest models. The spirit of the M1 lived on in the first-generation M5, as both models shared the same (though slightly modified) engines.

Wall Street Journal reports that Mazda decided to destroy “approximately $100 million worth of factory-new automobiles” that had been shipped on a tanker that tilted on route to the US.
The freighter, the Cougar Ace, spent weeks bobbing on the high seas, listing at a severe 60-degree angle, before finally being righted. The mishap created a dilemma: What to do with the cars?
They had remained safely strapped down throughout the ordeal — but no one knew for sure what damage, if any, might be caused by dangling cars at such a steep angle for so long. Might corrosive fluids seep into chambers where they don’t belong?

Aston Martin DBS used for filming in the latest James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, ended up at the bottom of a lake in Italy after the driver, on route to the film set, lost control in rainy weather.
We now have video footage of the car after it was extracted by authorities, which you can view after the jump. There is no video of the accident itself as it did not happen during the filming. The driver did get injured and we hope he is back behind the next DBS to continue the filming.

In the video after the jump, the Wall Street Journal seek to understand and explain – the justification for such an outlandish expenditure. WSJ will look into customized Veyron by Hermes.
