Hayabusa turbo

Now here's an oldie that never dies. The ghost rider has been famous for his insane driving in Europe. This daredevil fears nothing when he's on top of his bike. There's not much to say other than letting you guys enjoy the ride in his 499 horsepower turbo Suzuki hayabusa.




This guy fears nothing!



So rev or die people, has any of you ever encountered any problems with the cops while speeding? Do you have a cool story you want to let us know?

Toyota FT-86 / Subaru 0846

Now this is one of those rides that people have been waiting for a very, very long time. It is no secret that the Japanese automaker Toyota has been slacking with an entry-level tuner car for a number of years. Heck, the Celica has been discontinued since 2006! Toyota's most sporty vehicle at the moment is the Tundra which puts out a cool 381 hp and 401 lb.-ft. torque with its 5.7 L V8 version. However, it is a truck! No tuner wants to put a flatbed next to an STI and have them run side to side. it's like comparing oranges to apples.

According to the publication Car and Driver it might just be a little too late for the release of this vehicle since Hyundai has already taken a head start in the race with its recent release of the real-wheel drive genesis which is marketed with two engine options: 

• a 2.0L  4-cylinder turbocharged produced 210 hp and 223 ft·lb torque
• and a naturally aspirated 3.8 V6 puts out 306 hp and 266 ft·lb torque.

The FT-86 will likely be offered as a front-wheel drive, naturally aspirated 4-cylinder and a turbocharged version of it should be available at a later date.


So what do you think about this one? Will Toyota/Subaru have a shot at the tuner market with the FT-86/0846 or will it be too late for the party as suggested by C&D? Will the option of a naturally aspirated front-wheel drive make it a sit on the side when compared to the existing genesis or will it be a nice tuner starter?

Turbocharged Focus RS Hits U.S. market in 2012

The turbocharged Ford focus ST will finally be introduced at the American market in 2012. According to Car and Driver, the American automaker will fit the focus ST with a turbocharged four cylinder engine that should put out about 247 horsepower.



Though we'll never understand why Ford markets the focus with such puke-inducing colors, the interior of the ST will sport carbon fiber look-like trim, and of course, a six-speed manual transmission. Although no official price has been set on the ST, this car is expected to be a powerful contender on the entry-level tuner world next to the Honda Civic Si, VW Jetta and the Mazda speed 3.
