Question: What would Frankenstein drive to church if he hit the Lottery?



The Answer: He'd probably drive one of these. It's called the Galue Limousine S50. It's by the Japanese automaker Mitsuoka. The company pretty much does the same thing as Fisker does, by taking current car models and "remixes" them to their own design.

What they did here was take an Infiniti M35, gave it 315 horsepower and added a Rolls Royce grille, Cadillac style tail lights and other styling queues. The interior actually looks pretty nice.

The end price tag will cost you about $100,000, but along with that, you are almost gauranteed that nobody will be pulling up next to you in the same car.

Maserati GranTurismo MC Corse




Maserati recently made the announcement on their website, “We are going to surprise you,” well, they seem to have done it with the new GranTurismo MC Corse Concept.
The new hardcore GranTurismo variant is based off the current 4.7 liter V8 GranTurismo S with 430hp. The MC Corse is breed for the track, dominating corners with authority. With the help of engine upgrades, a new air intake system and a race ready extraction system, the power output gets a boost to 450 hp. An additional aerodynamically perfected front splitter, side skirts and spoiler combination ensure optimal downforce levels. Handling levels have also been improved with the help of a stiffer suspension setup and race rubber (18x12-inch front and 18x13-inch rear). Braking distance is reduced with the use of larger brake rotors and monobloc racing callipers.
One thing definitely needs a mention, and that’s the FIA approved rollcage… like we said, this is built to dominate the track.
With all this said, we don’t see this to be the only surprise that Maserati will deliver.

Even though it's a prototype, rumor has it Cadillac is thinking of putting it into production. I'm sorry did I forget to mention the stock 24's and stock 1000 horses!

Lamborghini Lovers


Lamborghinis at Cars and Coffee from SoCalSpeedZone on Vimeo.

I found this video a few months ago, and I've decided to share it with the rest of the world. Instead of driving to Prestige Imports every night to see the latest exotic they have, I'll just watch this.
