First up, a brief history of Pagani: It was founded by Horacio Pagani, a former employee of Lamborghini. The company originally destined itself to the carbon fibre research, later it derived to cars, presenting their first car, the Zonda C2, in 1999. The Cinque is up next. Born as a special project for a Hong Kong Pagani Dealer, “SPS”, that was produced in only five pieces that all were sold (of course).

Introduction The 955 Porsche Cayenne started production in 2002 (Europe) and came to North America in 2003. It was the second V8-engined Porsche after the 928, which was discontinued in 1995. The base Cayenne (955) had a 3.2L Naturally Aspirated 6-Cylinder Engine producing 250 hp/184 KW, the S featured a 4.5L V8 known as the “M48.00” (N/A version). While the Turbo/Turbo S had a pair of Turbochargers (M48.50). The V6 model only shared Doors & Engine block with the Volkswagen Touareg. It was praised for its powerful engines and excellent handling.

The Trans Am series or Trans-American Sedan Championship started out in 1966 with two distinct classes: Under 2L and over 2L. Both classes had to be production car based. The under 2L class was dominated by light cars like Alfa Romeos and Lotuses. The over 2L class however contained the common American Muscle cars of the era, although some would argue that many of the cars run were pony cars and not muscle at all. The series was run entirely on road courses, creating unique challenges for the manufacturers in trying to lighten their cars and keep them from breaking.

In the first in a new series of blogs focussing on the most amazing and ingenious automotive projects that Forge Motorsport has been associated with, we take a look at Guy Martin's ludicrously powerful time trial Transit! Now very close to National Treasure status, Guy Martin has won over vast swathes of the British public through his enthusiasm, knowledge and sheer passion for anything that can be made to go faster than its maker ever envisioned!

The R35 is the sucessor to the infamous R34. This generation of the GT-R was unveiled by Nissan in the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon, it was available on the U.S. by 2008 and to the rest of the world by 2009. The GT-R concept was unveiled at the 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon, with Nissan saying that the production car would look 90-95% like the concept shown

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve uploaded Part 2, but I had to study for university, so not much time for car-related researches. Anyway, here is Part 3 (Vans only). Note: I know these cars aren’t ‘that’ fast but they’re still vans. It’s not in their nature to be fast. #10 Mercedes-Benz V 280 (W 638) (as suggested by A.Jelinak) Engine Layout: 2.8i VR6 NA Engine Code: VAG AAH Power: 128 kW / 174 PS Torque: 237 Nm Drivetrain Layout: FWD, 5 speed manual Vmax: unknown

Hello CTzens and welcome to this blogpost of mine. Today I’m covering 5 ways of modding VW Beetles that are common, yet change the basic idea of the car. As Deadpool, the CTzen who gave me the idea for this, mentioned, ways that make it less than 50% of a Bug haha. So, let’s get right into the Bugs! #1 Subaru Engine Swaps Engine swaps have been a thing ever since petrolheads exist. They’re done by enthusiasts who want to get more power in their car without having to upgrade their current engine. A bit of a shortcut. Or is it?

Inspired by GTA Motorsport, I’m going to do a series of my favourite cars, starting with the R34 GT-R

Without a doubt the Chrysler PT Cruiser is one of the most hated American vehicles there is. I’ve yet to see a “top ten worst cars ever” list without the car in at least the honorable mentions. Yet almost every time I see/meet/talk to someone bashing on them I always ask them “Have you ever ridden in one, owned or driven one?”. The answer is always an aghast variation of “I would never be caught dead in one” or something involving “lel kil urself”.

Well… BeforeI start, I gotta admit. I was halfway through writing this before -kzzpt- my computer just restarts. All my progress was just deleted. Well, back to it.

Imagine a man. A man with 3 time F1 world champion wins. A man who has been in a terrible racing crash, but still continues his legendary racing career. A man who decided to become an airline owner and pilot after his prestigious racing career. And a man who saved the lives of millions who fly the skies today. You might think that this “man” isn’t human, but is the literal equivalent of God himself. But he does exist. And he is still alive today. His name is Niki Lauda.

Cast your mind back to the late 70’s, and you wanted something that could be driven around town during the week and able to tow your boat along the dunes on the weekend. What would you get? You’d probably be looking at something like a Range Rover, Chevy Silverado, Ford F-Truck, Nissan Patrol or a Toyota Landcruiser. Depending on where you live, some of these might not be available without bags of money. For the average Australian, a Silverado or F-Truck fully imported and converted to RHD would cost upwards of $120 000AUD in today’s money!
