    Homeless man drives Chevrolet Corvette (VIDEO)

    Homeless Corvette

    The internet is full of car-related viral prank videos, but this one is a little different and will warm your heart as a homeless man’s day is made. 

    All of those funny entertaining viral prank videos are great, but actually helping someone and changing their life for the better is far more powerful. Raising awareness for something meaningful is also pretty cool. This viral video shows a couple of Youtubers that would ordinarily be pranking or picking up girls help a homeless man and really make his day. First they tell the homeless man they’re going to let him drive their new bright red Chevy Corvette convertible sports car. Initially he’s a bit apprehensive, as you might be if a couple of random teenagers came and asked if you’d like to drive their Corvette. But if he accepts, he’s in for one hell of a treat thanks to these Youtube pranksters.

    I won’t reveal any more, you’ll have to watch the genuinely heart-warming video below to see what happens next.

    Lesson: be grateful for what you have, somewhere there’s always someone out there that’s doing it tougher than you are, try to do what you can to help others.

    Batman v Superman movie: new Batmobile revealed (VIDEO)

    Batmobile

    The wild new Batmobile for the upcoming Batman v Superman movie has been revealed in a new viral video.

    Good news! There’s a new Batman movie on the way, and that means it will soon be cool to wear black leather attire and a cape again… Um, there’s also a new very exciting looking Batmobile which has been revealed in this short thirty second clip, and it looks angry. Christopher Nolan’s old Tumbler Batmobile has been swapped for a lower, sleeker machine that looks like a Star Wars spaceship on wheels. It’s really cool, and fitted with a pair of forward facing guns to take down the inevitable baddies.

    Speaking of villains, we can’t tell you anything more about the upcoming movie apart from the fact that it will also include another old-school superhero in the form of the one and only Superman. Judging by the title ‘Batman v Superman,’ they will probably verse each other in some capacity.

    As for the nitty gritty details of the new Batmobile, they’re pretty scarce at the moment as well. The old Tumbler machine was powered by a 5.7-litre Chevy V8 engine producing around 400hp. The new car will probably use a similar drivetrain due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness – they’re probably going to smash a few of these things during filming.

    Anyway, check out the short video of the new Batmobile below.

    Homeless guy drives a Ferrari prank (VIDEO)

    Ferrari 458 prank

    Another Youtube prankster has released a rich versus poor viral video, showing how restaurant workers react to a homeless guy in a Ferrari. 

    You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Just because someone dresses a certain way, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re poor or homeless. The viral video below shows what happens when a poor person attempts to dine at a fancy restaurant. Despite having the cash to pay for the meal, the supposedly homeless person isn’t allowed inside and is told to leave the premises. An hour later the same ‘homeless person’ returns in nice clothes and most importantly a new Ferrari 458 supercar. The reactions of the restaurant workers is priceless.

    Fast and Furious 7 Paul Walker tribute (VIDEO)

    Paul Walker Fast and Furious

    The emotional ending to Fast and Furious 7 has got Paul Walker fans in tears with a touching tribute.

    Don’t worry, we’re not here to spoil the ending to Fast and Furious 7. The video below isn’t the actual final scene of the new Fast and Furious 7 movie, it’s the music video that accompanies the “See You Again” Wiz Khalifa soundtrack, itself a very touching and evocative tribute video to the late Paul Walker.

    You can check out the music video below. But I strongly suggest you go see the movie in the cinemas to see the incredible final scene, it genuinely is a tear-jerker.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu2uBwgyYIU

    I watched my first Fast and Furious movie when I was about eight years old. I already liked cars, but after seeing Paul Walker’s character Brian ‘blow the welds on his intake’ it started to become an obsession. He was a massive influence for me growing up, to the point where my career is now writing about and driving cars, and now I really couldn’t picture myself doing anything else. Even though I knew Paul’s character Brian was fictional I somewhat idolised him as a young boy – he was just a slick cool dude with morality and nobility who loved Skylines.

    I’m sure there are thousands of others out there who have been influenced by Paul Walker’s role in the Fast and Furious franchise. And to those people, he will forever be remembered as a brother.

    RIP Paul.

    McLaren P1 vs Nissan GT-R street race (VIDEO)

    McLaren P1 vs Nissan GT-R

    When a McLaren P1 supercar pulls up alongside a Nissan GT-R at the lights the only reasonable thing to do is stage a little drag race.

    The Nissan GT-R has long been one of the fastest accelerating performance cars in the world, capable of cracking 62mph in under three seconds. When it launched it was one of the few cars available to boldly claim a sub-three second sprint time, but with the arrival of the three hybrid hypercars from Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren the sub-three club has grown significantly.

    The video below shows what happens when a 903hp McLaren P1 pulls up alongside a modified Nissan GT-R at the lights. This isn’t a proper drag race that’s truly representative of each car’s relative performance and neither cars used launch control. We also don’t know exactly how much power the GT-R is punching out or what specific modifications it’s running.

    While the video isn’t completely representative, it is at least interesting to see what two seriously quick supercars can do to the average car with the throttle planted.

    Check out the viral video below.

    Note: the McLaren P1 didn’t appear to go full throttle until a second or so after the GT-R.

    Vaughn Gittin Jr shows off new 2015 drift Mustang (VIDEO)

    Vaughn Gitten Jr drift Mustang

    Pro drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr shows off his 2015 Mustang drift car in awesome snow drift video.

    You don’t really need an excuse to tear around a snowy drift course in a 2015 Mustang race car when you’re pro noon Vaughn Gittin Jr, but he and his team came up with one anyway. The video below shows the pro drifter man handling his 2015 drift Mustang in the snow, but the point of the video is actually to show off the car’s new livery… Yeah right…

    We can’t tell you much else about the Mustang apart from it has a V8 from Ford Racing, rear-wheel drive (obviously), Brembo stoppers, a mad bodykit from RTR and some shouty green wheels.

    Check out the sideways action in the video below.

    Behind the scenes on that Fast and Furious 7 plane drop scene (VIDEO)

    Plane drop scene

    The creators of Furious 7 have launched a new video that goes behind the scenes of that epic plane drop scene, and it’s awesome. 

    If you haven’t already seen the extended trailer for Furious 7 which shows the plane drop scene go and watch it here, then come back. OK, you’re back, now you can check out how that scene was filmed at 12,000 feet above the ground in a new video launched by the creators of the seventh Fast and Furious movie. And it is awesome. There are no computer generated images (CGI) at all, they literally got the cars they needed, gave them parachutes and launched them out the back of an aircraft carrier along with a group of very brave camera men.

    So those few seconds where you see under the Dodge Challenger as it plummets towards the earth were filmed by a bloke sitting under the car. It’s extremely cool.

    The Fast and Furious 7 movie hits cinemas in under a months time on April 3, starring Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, The Rock, Jason Stratham and the late Paul Walker.

    Check out the video below, and to read more about the upcoming Fast and Furious 7 movie, click HERE.

    Porsche Cayman GT4 driven and drifted (VIDEO)

    Porsche Cayman GT4

    Chris Harris takes to the track in the new Porsche Cayman GT4, the fastest and most track-focused Cayman to date.

    We’re only three months in, but this is possibly the most hotly anticipated car of 2015. It’s the Porsche Cayman GT4, the car that finally takes the Cayman – regarded by some as Porsche’s sweetest steering model – and turns up the volume to eleven.

    Since the mid-engine coupe was introduced some ten years ago there has been a suspicion that Porsche was deliberately holding back its performance to protect the more iconic and expensive 911. Not anymore, because Porsche has given the Cayman to its motorsport division – the people responsible for the 911 GT3, the GT3 cup car and the slightly mental GT2 RS from the 997 generation 911. The GT car engineers know how to make a car go, steer and stop better than anyone else in the business, so the Cayman GT4 should be pretty good.

    In terms of its power and straight line performance it seems just a rung above the lesser Cayman GTS, but actually this is more or less a whole different animal. It’s got the larger 3.8-litre flat six engine from the 911 Carrera S producing 375hp in this application instead of the standard 3.4-litre. Suspension has been changed completely, the entire front axle is borrowed from the bigger 911 GT3 and the rear suspension has been re-designed and re-engineered. The carbon ceramic brakes are also taken from the GT3.

    The only thing that hasn’t been dramatically changed from the Cayman GTS is the gearbox. Ah yes, the most appealing thing about the new GT4 for some will be the fact that it’s only available with a six-speed manual gearbox. The GT4’s ‘box features shorter throws and a more precise feeling, say Porsche.

    So what does all this machinery look like in action? We’ll let Chris Harris show you…

    Furious 7 extended trailer (VIDEO)

    Furious 7

    A new trailer for the latest Fast and Furious movie, Furious 7, has been launched ahead of the movie’s premiere on April 3.

    There’s not long to go until Fast and Furious 7 hits cinemas. In fact, it’s less than a month away and set for its big-screen premiere on April 3, and this latest trailer video gives us our best glimpse yet at the presumably far-fetched but brilliant Furious 7 plot, and some of the cars.

    We’re pretty sure that a significant portion of the film will be played out around the wealthy supercar-congested suburbs of Abu Dhabi, judging by the previous trailers. However, this latest one is less about the scenery and more about the squad driving a group of hotted-up cars out of a flying cargo jet thousands of feet above the ground.

    Cars include a Dodge Charger piloted by Dom (it wouldn’t be a Fast and Furious movie without the Charger, would it?), a last-gen Subaru Impreza WRX STI driven by the late Paul Walker’s character Brian plus a new Dodge Challenger coupe, a large nondescript armoured truck and an old Chevrolet Camaro driven by a petrified Roman (Tyrese Gibson’s character). And naturally, the only logical way to transport these vehicles and their driver’s from the plane to the ground is via air drop. No it doesn’t make sense, but it should make for some exceptional viewing once the movie launches.

    The main characters that aren’t pictured in this trailer are the police chief played by the enormous Rock, and the baddie in the film played by Brit Jason Stratham. It’s believed the film will start in Tokyo at the scene of the shunt shown in 2003’s Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift where Han dies. Apparently Stratham’s character is responsible for the death and was fuelled by anger over the death of his brother caused by Dom and the crew in the last Fast and Furious movie. It’s all a bit complicated but this is the movie that will finally make sense of Tokyo Drift, probably.

    Anyway, check out the awesome trailer.

    Dubai police show off supercar fleet (VIDEO)

    Dubai police

    Dubai police hits the streets in its supercar fleet, including a Bugatti Veyron and Nissan GT-R, in viral video. 

    It’s well documented that the Dubai police force doesn’t patrol in the usual fleet of low-powered inexpensive poverty mobiles. Instead of the usual rubbish, the Dubai cops cruise the luxurious city’s streets in some of the fastest and coolest supercars in the world, including a Nissan GT-R, McLaren 12C, Ferrari FF, G63 AMG and Bugatti Veyron. Originally it was thought that the police Veyron was a photoshopped fake, but this latest video posted on the Dubai force’s Youtube channel, proves that it is actually completely legit. The video is a bit of showing off from well-funded Dubai rozzers, but is a rather cool bit of filming that shows a heap of very fast and expensive supercars roaming the streets of a rather cool city. It almost looks like a trailer for a cool car movie. Check it out.

    Ken Block drifts new Ford Focus RS (VIDEO)

    Internet sensation and pro drifter, Ken Block, drives the new Ford Focus RS the only way he knows how in new viral video.

    There has been hype around the new Ford Focus RS pretty much since the old model disappeared in 2009. And yesterday it almost broke the Internet Kim Kardashian style when it was revealed in Cologne Germany. The new RS is an all-wheel drive turbocharged rocket ship with over 316hp a manual gearbox and clever torque vectoring system which Ford claims allows the Focus to perform controlled drifts. What better way to test that theory than to get the Drift King himself, Ken Block – who also happens to be sponsored by the Blue Oval –, to take the car for a spin (literally) around the German Ford factory.

    In the video below Ken Block drives a prototype version of the new Focus RS, which is essentially an old ST with all the new RS bits bolted on – it’s a bit of a snotter parts bin special but drives exactly like the car you’ll soon be able to buy from your local dealership. The video also gives us our first proper listen to the new car’s 2.3-litre Ecoboost four-cylinder turbo engine, which despite being somewhat less exotic than the old five-cylinder mill (it’s similar to the Mustang’s engine), still sounds decidedly sporting. There’s plenty of whoosh from the turbo and some nice farts from the exhaust system that give should give the RS a tuner car feel. Anyway, enough chatter. Watch the video.

    Hilarious viral Taylor Swift Police dashcam confessional (VIDEO)

    Taylor Swift viral video

    Dover police officer becomes an Internet sensation after laugh-out-loud funny dash cam Taylor Swift viral video was posted on Youtube.

    We’ve all done it before. Having a jolly good day when your favorite song comes on the radio to brighten your day ever further and you can’t help but mouth the lyrics and have a bit of a dance… while driving. Eminem usually gets me in the gangster driving pose with one hand resting casually on the wheel while I nod along with the beat and pretend I know the lyrics. Personally, the same can’t be said for Taylor Swift’s anthems of break ups and falling over but getting up again. I generally try to avoid the girl as much as possible, and switch stations whenever her lyrics start to play – not because I think I’m too manly to listen to her music, but because I know her words will be stuck in my mind all day.

    Anyway, we’ve gotten slightly off topic here. The point is this, a police man who was most likely out collecting the daily donuts and hourly coffee from his local pastry institution has been caught not just singing along to Taylor Swift, but dancing like it’s 1999. And it wasn’t just his driver-facing dashcam that caught him busting a move either, because several times during the video he nods, waves and winks at other motorists and pedestrians. It’s brilliant, but one does have to wonder if it’s actually real or not… We’ll let you decide for yourself. Check out the viral Taylor Swift video below.

    LaFerrari vs Bugatti Veyron drag race (VIDEO)

    LaFerrari

    New hybrid hypercar Ferrari LaFerrari faces off against the mighty Bugatti Veyron in a viral video LaFerrari vs Bugatti Veyron drag race. 

    If it’s to be believed that these new-age hybrid supercars are really better than the old-fashioned gas guzzlers that preceded them, they have to at least be faster. While the Bugatti Veyron still holds the record for the fastest production car in the world, it takes the old girl a long time and a lot of space to reach that mind-boggling 267mph velocity.

    The Veyron in this particular video isn’t the world record spec car, it’s the lesser 1001hp variant that originally set the 252mph record. Still, that should be enough to see off a pesky Ferrari that uses Prius technology and is only rated at 350km/h, right? Well, it’s not that simple, while the Veyron produces more than the Ferrari’s 963hp from it’s monster 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine, it’s significantly heavier and hence shouldn’t be as accelerative. The LaFerrari only takes around 15 seconds to reach 186mph, while the Veyron should take around 20 seconds.

    Enough theory, check out the video to see which car wins.

    Dodge Challenger Hellcat vs fighter jet drag race (VIDEO)

    Challenger Hellcat vs Fighter jet

    America’s most powerful production muscle car, the 707hp Challenger Hellcat takes on a fighter jet in an epic race down the runway.

    It’s the classic fast car versus some other kind of vehicle race, only the other vehicle isn’t a motorcycle or a boat or even a helicopter. No, the other vehicle is a deadly F16 fighter jet flown by one of the handiest pilots in the business.

    The Challenger is the most powerful production muscle car in the world and its mental 6.2-litre supercharged V8 develops a staggering 707hp. SRT claim the Hellcat can hit 60mph in the low three seconds range and cover the quarter mile in a scarcely believable 10.8 seconds. This is a ten second car that you can buy from any Dodge dealership for less than $60,000 with a warranty. They say it even handles relatively well, but lets be honest, the Hellcat is all about going in a straight line fast. Really fast. Which is why the people at Road and Track magazine had a Challenger Hellcat delivered to an airport in Miami to see whether the mighty muscle car would stand a chance against the king of the skies – the F16.

    Check out the video to see which high horsepower monster comes out on top.

    David Guetta turns F1 racer in Dangerous video clip (VIDEO)

    Lotus F1 team

    Lotus F1 team and Romain Grosjean team up with DJ David Guetta for new music video.

    Music videos these days are becoming ridiculous quite frankly. Look up Anaconda by Niki Minaj – or don’t and save yourself three minutes of wondering how one’s bottom becomes so disproportionately large. There’s no real story line or meaning behind the video, it’s all about getting attention and for all the wrong reasons.

    Anyway, we’ve got slightly off topic here. Because, French DJ David Guetta has a new music video out and it’s about F1 racing – or at least it seems to be, Lotus F1 driver Romain Grosjean drives his race car in it and everything! Predictably, teammate Pastor Maldonado does not feature in the clip, presumably he crashed his car in practice before filming begun.

    Old guy wants a Lamborghini supercar with cat badges (VIDEO)

    Lamborghini supercar prank

    Old guy tries to get a good deal on a Lamborghini supercar by taking off all the unnecessary equipment in hilarious prank video.

    You’re old, retired and looking for a new toy to cruise the streets in. Only problem is, modern supercars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris and McLarens all come with lots of stuff a pensioner doesn’t really need. Like a big powerful engine, special paint, chrome exhaust pipes and airbags…. If you got the dealer to remove all these useless items then the car would be more affordable, right?

    Another problem with supercars is that they’ve all got showy badges that shout ‘midlife crisis’. And why would you want a badge with a prancing horse or raging bull on it, when the animal you really like is cats?

    This prank video sees a guy acting as an old bloke – that’s maybe losing his marbles slightly – try to get a good deal on a Ferrari and Lamborghini supercar in the most unusual of ways….

    Porsche 918 Spyder vs Koenigsegg Agera R (VIDEO)

    Porsche 918 vs Koenigsegg Agera R

    What will come out on top in this high-speed hypercar battle – new hybrid tech or raw horsepower?

    These are two of the fastest production cars in the world right now. Producing over 2000hp combined, both will hit 62mph in under 3 seconds and do well over 200mph flat out.

    The Porsche is arguably the more technologically advanced car with its unique hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive system. The rear wheels are driven by a 4.6-litre naturally aspirated V8 that revs past 9000rpm and features electrical assistance to give extra low-end torque.

    The front wheels are also connected to an electric motor which gives all-wheel drive capability. Combined output is 887hp, and weight is a relatively heavy 1640kg with the Weisach Pakcage that is fitted to the car in this video.

    Porsche’s hybrid hypercar can also run in silent zero emissions full-electric mode for up to 12 miles.

    The Koenigsegg is different, it has no electric mode. It has no electric motors to speak of, just an 1140hp 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that seems like it escaped from a mental hospital. Like the Porsche, the Agera R is all carbon fiber, but because it doesn’t have to lug around heavy batteries it weighs 1435kg.

    On paper at least, it would seem the Swedish Koenigsegg should embarrass the German Porsche 918 in a straight-line drag race. In practice, well, watch the video. And remember, Koenigsegg’s new car – the 1360hp One:1 – is even faster than this Agera R…

    These guys wrapped an Audi R8 in Christmas paper (VIDEO)

    Audi R8 Christmas Wrap

    Supercar owner gets into the Christmas spirit with a unique Audi R8 custom wrap.

    Vehicle wraps are a great and inexpensive way to customise a car. They’re completely reversible, and the possibilities in terms of material and colour are almost endless.

    Some people permanently wrap their cars either to protect the vehicle’s standard paint finish or to completely change the colour of the car. Others do it for special events like the Gumball 3000 rally to help their cars stand out in a field of colourful exotic supercars.

    However, we’re not sure anyone has ever wrapped their car specifically for Christmas. With Christmas wrapping paper…

    That’s what two British car nuts did with a V10 Audi R8 supercar using cello tape and some supermarket-grade wrapping paper.

    The results were surprisingly professional, and certainly unique. Obviously the next thing to do was dress up as Santa Claus, drift around an abandoned round-about and film it for Youtube.

    Ken Block’s Gymkhana 7 Mustang explained by Chris Harris (VIDEO)

    Ken Block's Gymkhana 7 Mustang

    Chris Harris takes a look at Ken Block’s wild Gymkhana 7 car, the custom-built 845hp all-wheel drive 1965 Ford Mustang.

    From the outside the 1965 Mustang used by Ken Block in his latest viral video sensation, Gymkhana 7 Wild in the Streets of L.A, may look like any other slammed and stickered pony car.

    But actually apart from the doors and roof, the Hoonicorn RTR as Ken calls it, is completely bespoke. It’s a custom-built race car which has been made to slightly resemble an old Mustang. This beast has about as much in common with a ’65 Mustang as a Ford Nascar racer has in common with an Ecoboost Fusion sedan.

    It uses a bespoke tubular chassis built especially for Ken Block by ASD Motorsports and most of the body panels are made from carbon fiber.

    The motor is a screaming 6.7-litre (410 cubic inch) Ford V8 pumping out 845hp and 720lb.ft of torque, which hits the ground through a six-speed sequential gearbox and extremely complicated all-wheel drive system that makes sliding backwards possible – somehow.

    Ken Block describes the creation as part WRC car, part DTM racer and part Hot Wheels play-thing.

    Now, enough jabbering from me, here’s Chris Harris:

    Ferrari FXX K on track in Abu Dhabi (VIDEO)

    2015 Ferrari FXX K

    Limited edition 1035hp LaFerrari based Ferrari FXX K race car laps Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina circuit.

    Before Ferrari officially announced its race-car version of the LaFerrari hybrid hyper car, rumours speculated that the model would ditch the V12 engine for a modified version of Ferrari’s 1.6-litre turbo V6 Formula One motor.

    Were glad those rumours turned out to be false and a naturally aspirated V12 remained at the heart of the FXX K, because not even the latest F1 cars can match the aural lunacy pouring from the exhaust pipes of the latest V12 racer from Maranello.

    Combined power output from the musical V12 with electrical assistance is 1035hp – 72hp more than the LaFerrari -, weight is down thanks to a bare-bones interior, and those odd-looking dual rear wings help the FXX K produce 50 per cent more downforce than the car it’s based on.

    Now, listen to it turn petrol into rather loud noises – it’s FxxKing fantastic (yes, we went there).

    2014 Super Bowl Ads? Audi are teasing us already... (VIDEO)

    Audi has kicked off the SuperBowl frenzy with the brand’s likely ads for the 2014 Superbowl ads wars. Audi are teasing us already…

    According to carscoops.com

    “We haven’t confirmed this yet, but there’s a very strong possibility that the four fresh spots found on Audi’s YouTube page hidden from plain site (locked) could be the brand’s 2014 Super Bowl ads– it’s not uncommon for companies to release them early, and perhaps Audi is testing the waters online before it airs them on TV.”

    They have launched a series of ads that puts the 2015 Audi A3 against other rival brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus declaring that the new A3 is the ‘only’ Sedan to buy this year.

    Watch Audi’s likely 2014 Super Bowl Ads below and let us know your fave ad…
