Finally. It’s here at last. The 949hp LaFerrari attempts to earn the title as the ultimate Ferrari, combining a immensely powerful V12 with electric to make the world’s most exciting hybrid.
Watch EVO compare the LaFerrari compare it to it’s hypercar rivals, the Porsche 918 Spyder and the McLaren P1.
You’ll have to agree after watching this that the LaFerrari is more incredible than anyone ever imagined.

We’ve seen plenty of viral videos this year, a solid portion showed hopeless and drunk Russian drivers, but these are ten of our favorites.
It seems there’s a simple recipe for making a viral car-related video… You need a nice car, maybe a Ferrari of sort, and you need to drive that car at the absolute limit. You need to terrorize its tyres, make its engine scream, then add something else that’s cool into the video – maybe a pretty girl, or an energy drink company, or a man that can do the splits between two moving trucks….
So here they are, the hottest viral car videos of this year.
10) Killing Tires With a Ferrari F12 — /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
The title says it all really. 730hp V12 Ferrari chomping through five sets of tyres all for your viewing pleasure.
9) McLaren P1™ vs. the Nürburgring-Nordschleife
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9IWiTpWeiM
OK, so we still don’t know the McLaren P1’s Nurburgring lap time, but this video confirms a couple of things. One, the McLaren P1 is one ridiculously fast car, and two, the bloke who’s driving has balls of steel – he’s seriously pushing it.
8) Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle 3
Drifting cars are cool. Drifting motorcycles are potentially even cooler.
7) Ferrari F40 v Ferrari F50. Like You’ve Never Seen Them Before /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
The Ferrari F40 and F50 are two of the greatest supercars ever made, and, providing you haven’t seen this video before, you won’t have seen the two driven like this before. And if you’ve seen this, would you really not watch it again?
6) Monster Energy: Ballistic B.J. Baldwin – #RECOIL
Energy drink company, girl, Nissan GT-R, ballistic trophy truck thing – this video has it all.
5) The Ferrari Enzo WRC
It takes a lot of bravery to treat a Ferrari Enzo like it’s a paddock basher. It takes even more bravery to film yourself doing just that and upload it to the internet. We’re glad the anonymous Tax The Rich person did it though, because the resulting video is quite awesome.
4) Nordschleife vs. Porsche 918 Spyder – 6:57
A lot of people had their doubts about the Porsche 918 Spyder. It’s too big, it’s too heavy, it shouldn’t be a hybrid, all of the naysayers claimed. This is the video that made them all shut up.
3) Volvo Trucks – The Epic Split feat. Van Damme
How is this even possible?
2) Pepsi MAX & Jeff Gordon Present: “Test Drive”
OK, so the whole video was staged, but it’s no less awesome because of it. Plus, it’s racked up a few views and easily qualifies for being a ‘viral’ car video.
1) NEED FOR SPEED: KEN BLOCK’S GYMKHANA SIX — ULTIMATE GYMKHANA GRID COURSE
What list of viral car videos would be complete without something from the master of viral car videos himself, Mr. Ken Block?

Our buddies at XCAR drive the amazing Pagani Huayra supercar. They like it.
A Pagani is a very rare thing indeed. Only a few cars roll out of Pagani’s Italian headquarters each year. Between 1999 and 2013 Pagani built just over 200 Zondas, in that time Toyota probably built hundreds of thousands of boring old beige Camrys. So, the chances of you ever seeing a Pagani, let alone being tossed the keys to one are about the same as winning the lottery.
Our buddies from XCAR were fortunate enough to drive Pagani’s latest creation, the Huayra, recently. They liked it. But how could you not? This is a stunning 730hp supercar which costs more than a (nice) house and has had so much attention to detail lavished on it that it borders on total madness.
Enough blabbering, watch and enjoy the video.
