This gruesome image is the first crashed example of the hardcore 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, of which the automaker from Stuttgart built just 600 units of. The crash happened in the south of Germany, not too far from the Nurburgring race track, and involved a second 911 (a regular GT3 RS) as well as a Chevrolet Cruze.

He then collided into the side of the...

This isn’t the first modified Ferrari 458 Italia from Anderson, and it certainly isn’t one of the German tuning firm’s better achievements. Known best for building some of the most sinister looking supercars on the planet, Anderson’s latest 458 creation is based more around the concept of lifting performance by lowering weight rather than setting than simply setting the style. That said, the car doesn’t look too bad and has most likely been designed with such contrasts so as to show off all the modifications made. These mainly consist of a replacing many of the...

I just spent a weekend driving almost 1,000 miles to compete in an even that involved all of 7.5 minutes of competitive driving--but along the way I found my new phone was capable of doing just about everything I find great in the latest generation of in-car, OEM navigation and infotainment systems--and when I wasn't driving, I was carrying it around in my pocket. Given that my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S II, not even the fabu-tastic iPhone 4S with Siri) proved itself capable of flawless GPS navigation with voice directions; a driving mode that reads out text message and phone call alerts;...
