English mathematician Newton had put forth his law on universal gravitation saying that whatever goes up has to come down in 1687. And since then everybody has been bound by this theory that changed the face of science. But, check out this extreme off-roading video where one guy tries to defy Newton’s Law!
In this video, you can see how a man tries to pull his awesome truck to the tip of the sand dune, but on the verge of success he fails. Then with his pure presence of mind he escapes his deadly fate and recovers from such an acute situation. Bravo!
This is a must watch car video for every car enthusiast. It’s just awesome and will leave you spell-bound.
Hey, can anybody please tell me what this guy is up to? After watching this video ample number of times, I’m still not able to figure out, where the steering wheel (or wheels) is/are…? Well, wait! What the ***k man? Am seeing any aberrations. If I’m not wrong, I’ve spotted that there are two steering wheels in this car.
I donno what the heck this guy was thinking while souping up this mini, but one thing is for sure. He’s gone nuts!
Well, they say sky is the limit, but this jerk has gone past even the sky in his imagination or should we say creativity. Phew, what more can I say. Anyway, whatsoever I enjoyed this crazy video a lot and moreover, we should appreciate his off the world creation!
Top Gear, everyone’s favorite car show, is returning to the airwaves for its 11th season (everywhere else in the world except here, of course) on Sunday, June 22nd. We don’t know much so far about what the boys have in store for us, and this BBC 2 promo doesn’t shed much light on anything either. But it’s funny, it’s Top Gear, and that’ll have to do for now.
PLEASE DON’T HIT THE WALL, PLEASE DON’T HIT THE WALL
The Audi R8 spin out (in seemingly slow motion) after cresting a tricky downhill corner at Virginia International Raceway. Unfortunately the driver’s wishes are not granted as he eventually slams into the black wall (hopefully consisting of tires).
Watching the video, one realizes that it is eeriely familiar to Forza or Gran Turismo 4. Youre just driving along and minding your own business when all of a sudden you see an opponents car in front, you realize - I’m gonna pass him RIGHT NOW. Of course, you overshoot the corner and the virtual car (and sometimes the controller) slam into a wall.
At about 10 seconds into the video the Viper (right in front of the R8) gets on his brakes in preparation for the downhill corner and the R8 does not. Almost looks like he was about to pass him up…
Condolences to the driver and hopefully he gets his car back on the road soon. Props to him for having the guts to be tracking a German supercar with a MSRP of over $100,000!
Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here. This week marks the beginning of a new series here on Webridestv, Foreign Fridays! Every Friday I’ll be bringing you the scoop on something interesting going on in the foreign auto world. This week we’ll be talking about something that has been a long time in coming. This car has been hyped for months and months, going through cycles first of hysteria, then denial, then aloof indifference. However the time has come for us to face facts and come to some startling conclusions about what we view to be mainstays of the sports car world. I am of course, talking about the Nissan GT-R. Hit the jump to find out what the American version is doing to change auto enthusiasts minds around the world!
Ah joy, another Shoot Out under our belts and, yes, that’s a pun on our title fight theme, “Bout of the Middleweights.” We have and will always be huge Audi fans. A while back we took an RS4 out to a dry lake bed and had a BMW driver put it through its paces. The guy pushed the car so hard that he broke the clutch doing dust bunnies at close to 200 mph! I got to ride-along with him before the “malfunction” and nearly soiled my pants multiple times between overwhelming bouts of laughter and screaming. At the time, the RS4 was the true high-water mark for performance sedans. The new M3 sedan had not made it to our shores and the Lexus IS-F was still in-the-womb. A 4-door performance sedan from a luxury brand, whose commercials feature silver balls rolling around the perfect gaps of body panels, hard to imagine, right?
Well like most performance freaks, I was skeptical that Lexus had the huevos to build a performance sedan that would challenge my beloved RS4. So when the car arrived at WebRidesTV HQ, I was stoked to take it out for a quick spin and size it up. That was if I could get past the crowd that had gathered in the parking lot. All the guys were fighting over who got the honors of the first drive. I had to admit, the IS-F looked real good: nice aggressive stance and meaty low-profile rubber wrapped around sweet rims. Even the four fake exhaust pipes were forgivable. After a quick lap around the local office circuit, I thought, holy shit, those sly bastards had done it! The IS-F was a real contender and that exhaust note, at full throttle. It sounds like a panther climbed into the cockpit and ripped my ear off!
There was only one thing left to do… We had to pit the Lexus IS-F against the Audi RS4 in a no-holds-barred Shoot Out. Would the RS4 clean its clock or would the unproven IS-F give the Audi the shocker. Well my friends, it was a clear upset. Lexus does have the “silver balls” after all! We hope you enjoy the video and we want to share all the detailed stats from our data loggers because you car freaks love charts and graphs as much as much as hookers love cash.
This video produced for Gran Turismo TV follows Series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi as he attempts to break 300 km/h in the car that inspired everything. As you’ll find out in the video, Kazunori states that if it wasn’t for the GT-R, the Gran Turismo game would have never been made.
I must say that it’s quite a treat that the game did get made, as it is the standard by which all other racing games are measured. Whenever the latest Gran Turismo comes out, it has always been the best racing game, period. Although, i’m not so sure that this iteration of the series is really going to blow away the likes of Forza 2, which was released on the xbox 360 a year prior to the upcoming release of the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Forza came sooner, looked nearly as good and also featured damage modeling and an in depth modifications system.
The graphics in Gran Turismo are absolutely phenomenal, and are the best example of the Playstation 3’s visual capabilities, however, looks aren’t everything in games… gameplay is.
I’ve had the chance to play early versions of GT5: Prologue and i liked the looks, but the gameplay wasn’t very addictive. I think the Prologue at a $40 pricepoint will satisfy many enthusiasts and gamers need for a racing sim, but i think a mod system and damage modeling would really make this game last. So hopefully the full version of the game will feature these, but until then, i’m not convinced.
But back to the point of this post, don’t we all wanna go 180+ mph in a GT-R?
Yes, but most of us will only have that chance in the GT5 game, except for the few lucky enough to get their hands on the wheel of an actual GT-R, like Kazunori…
See the attempt here.
Howdy Webriders! Dr. VW here. As promised, here’s the second installment in our Hot Import Nights Auto Adventure! I said we’d talk about the good, the bad and the downright gorgeous. I figured we’d leave the best for last, so lets talk about the the bad from HIN.

It could have been worse? The Nurburgring is the hotspot to set laptimes and test out your new ride in Germany. This would also lend itself to being the hotspot for a bunch of crashes.
This driver of this GT3 seems to have done a little too much overcorrecting. But when they get it back right side up, it doesn’t look half bad. That might be a GT3 I could afford, just slap on a little bondo here and some touch up paint there, that shiz will buff right out.
Here is a look at some crashes from the early days of the Nurburgring. Watch it, it is quite amusing.
