Underground Racing has a way of getting some beautiful women to ride shotgun in their tuned-up super cars, particularly that of the 1,250-horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera.

We don’t know what it is about these guys, but so goes their appeal. The latest bombshell to take a ride in the rocket car of epic-ness is Jenni and judging by the way she reacts during her ride in the Lambo, we’d venture a guess that she had a pretty awesome time, short and skimpy dress notwithstanding.

The video isn’t so much about showing the world the power of Underground Racing’s programs; we already know what their capable of. The video, is of course, a way of putting two of the things men love the most in this world together: a hot car and a hot woman.

And if you’re wondering whether you’re going to get any complaints from us, well, let’s just say that you’re barking up the wrong tree.

We loved the video just like any self-respecting, warm-blooded male would.

Jay Leno may be losing his touch. The Fisker Karma made its debut a few months ago and the car has only now made it into the late night talk show host’s garage for inspection. Of course, they could have been waiting for all of their ducks to be in a row, considering the vehicle showed up with the founder of the company — and former Aston Martin designer – Henrik Fisker.

The video is 20 minutes long and in it, Fisker explains the technology behind this impressive hybrid sedan in detail, as well as talks about the story behind this $95,900 luxury sedan.

Refresher: The Fisker Karma is a plug-in hybrid that uses a lithium-ion battery pack to power two 200+ hp electric motors for about 50 miles. Fisker says the Karma achieves the 0 to 60 mph sprint in less than 6 seconds and can hit a top speed of more than 125 mph.

Sometimes, explanations aren’t really needed; you just watch a video of inane dumbassery and you pretty much get the picture of how something goes horribly wrong.

In the case of the driver of this Lexus IS-F, drifting probably isn’t in his future. That or he just made a pretty silly mistake from the get go.

The scene is the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon and the IS-F was supposed to do a drifting demonstration in front of a gathered crowd. It starts well enough, but even before the first tire screams and the first smoke is emitted, the driver loses control of the IS-F and rides the cement barricade, obliterating a number of miniature traffic cones in the process.

We don’t know how it went wrong all of a sudden, but it is pretty embarrassing for the dude behind the wheel of the IS-F. Here you are expected to wow a crowd with your supposedly sick drifting skills, but instead, you end up being the butt of jokes and a permanent resident of You Tube’s crack list of “Fail!” videos.

Generally, sports cars and limousines don’t ever fall into the same category because, well, they are completely different from one another. Of course, there’s always some guy who thinks that mixing oil and water is going to get him a different result. One example of this is the Ferrari limousine that popped up around Christmas time and the second is this elongated version of the exquisite Audi R8.

This Audi R8 stretch limo was designed by Limo Broker UK and has been described as the perfect car “for your birthday bash, wedding, hen or stag party.” It is based on the 528 HP Audi R8 V10 model, making it just about the fastest Audi R8 limo in the world. And while the standard R8 can only accommodate two passengers, this limo has been modified to carry eight passengers.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your opinion, this is just a concept, but the company hopes to produce one of these babies in the future. We’d rather have the real thing, even if only two of us can fit in it.

Hit the jump for a video of the Audi R8 limo.

We get the whole idea of dressing up a car like the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe with a comprehensive bodykit, but given what the Rolls already stands for, it does seem like a little too much, doesn’t it?

The people over at Wald International beg to disagree because they’ve just released a pretty daft package for the British luxury car. No matter the consternation we have for such a program, you can’t deny the skills of Wald International, especially when it comes to dressing up cars that are as exclusive as the Phantom Drophead Coupe. To their credit, the Japanese tuner fitted the Rolls with a comprehensive body kit, complete with a new front bumper that comes with a set of vertical LED running lights. The kit also has new air vents that have been cut into the fenders. There’s also a new front lip, mesh air intake inserts, new side skirts, and a new rear bumper that comes with a small rear diffuser with dual exhaust pipes.

All in all, it’s pretty extensive. Maybe even a little too extensive. But give Wald International credit; these guys know how to catch attention with their projects, especially when they use one of the most luxurious cars on the face of the planet.

When it comes to high performance sedans, AMG is one of the performance arms that churns out the best cars. One of their best creations is the Mercedes C63 AMG – a sedan powered by a 6.3-liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 451 HP and sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.

Vivid Racing, however, has found a solution to make this sedan even better, without having to make any changes to the engine. The tuner is offering an Agency Power Valvetronic exhaust system combined with Toyo tires, HRE Wheels, Vorsteiner aero, and H&R coilovers to spice it up even further. The highlight of the program is the special exhaust system that can be switched between quiet and race modes, as well as between the intensity of the engine’s sound, all at the touch of a button on the remote.

Judging by the recent fad of all those Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, one would assume that a market competitor would come to challenge the highly popular Monster brand.

It appears that somebody has finally stepped up. Logic3 has released a new line of audio products in collaboration with none other than the Prancing Horse itself, Ferrari.

The Ferrari by Logic3 collection comprises of a wide range of earphones, headphones, and speaker docks that not only give companies like Monster and Bose something to think about, but on a more self-promoting level, you have yet another range of products that celebrate Ferrari’s flair for high-quality accessories.

To ensure that the products remain true to Ferrari’s characteristic style and panache, the Italian automaker collaborated closely with Logic3 to build this new range of audio equipment from the ground up to produce the best audio products on the market.

Together, Logic3 and Ferrari have realized two product ranges, comprising of two different collections: the Ferrari Cavallino Collection and the Scuderia Ferrari Collection. The former was treated with premium textures and materials combine with superior finishes to create unparalleled luxury and beautiful aesthetics. Meanwhile, the latter pays tribute to the flair, panache, and technological innovation of the Ferrari F1 team.

All the models carry Ferrari’s iconic Scuderia Ferrari badge and judging by the product images – as well as the matching price tags – we can definitely say that this new audio collection is something that competing brands should be very wary about.

Posted on 01.14.2012 18:00 by Kirby Filed under: Carlsson Mercedes | coupe | Geneva Motor Show | luxury cars | sports cars | Mercedes CLS-Class | car tuning | Cars | Car Reviews | Mercedes

So what if the holiday season has come and gone? For some folks, the season extends longer than just the turning of the calendar year and in the spirit of this ’extended’ season, German tuning firm Carlsson has decided to give their CK63 RS some Christmas-themed enhancements.

Their name for it? The CK63 RS Santa Edition. If only Santa used this car instead of his usual sleigh…

The whole idea behind Carlsson building a specially-themed program was to build a concept to present something for the season and, boy, did they ever. The engine specs of the car remain the same as that of the CK63 RS, which means that the car’s 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 engine saw a noticeable bump in output, from the standard 557 horsepower and 590 lb/ft of torque all the way up to 652 horsepower and 663 lb/ft of torque, with the improvements giving the CLS63 AMG a faster 0-62 mph time of just 4.1 seconds.

Likewise, you’ll also see the same aerodynamic package, one that features a new carbon fiber front spoiler, a new spoiler lip, a new trunk lid spoiler, a rear skirt insert and diffuser, and a new set of 20″ Carlsson 1/10 Brilliant Edition lightweight alloy wheels. What makes this special CK63 RS so unique is that it’s been dressed with a Diamond White Metallic paint finish that matches the Nappa Exclusive leather interior trim that comes with a “Santa Red” color.

According to Carlsson, a similar specially-themed CK63 RS will be headed to the 2012 Geneva Motor Show this March, which means that we might have more than just one of these unique bad boys on tap.

For the benefit of those who are fanatics of Lamborghini Gallardos, this video just might be a little too much to stomach. But if you enjoy the spectacle of supercar crashes – injuries notwithstanding – then check out how a Lamborghini owner managed to destroy his beloved Gallardo in spectacular fashion.

As is the case most of the time with these exotic crashes, the scene for this episode is a rather busy highway where two Gallardos – an orange and a green one – are trying to stretch their legs with their Italian supercar. We understand the adrenaline of putting the pedal to the metal when it comes to cars like the Gallardo, but we also are aware of the dangerous ramifications that could happen should anything go wrong.

Apparently, these two idiots either forgot that memo or they just couldn’t care less.

In the middle of their public showboating, the driver of the green Gallardo inexplicably lost control of his LP 560-4 – yeah, it has AWD – sending it into a massive tailspin before crashing in to the center cement divider.

As you can expect, when that happens, cement always wins.

A poor decision to race that was compounded by some less-than-stellar racing skills all add up to a pretty dinged up supercar and a more than expensive repair bill.
