Rolls Royce Phantom Drifting In the Snow

This can only be described as people with too much money and time on their hands.

Admittedly, that sentence we just wrote above can only be described as jealousy.

Check out this video of a Rolls Royce Phantom drifting in the snow (yes, it’s apparently possible) along with a pair of pretty Porsches.

Prayers = Answered. BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Going Into Production!

2013 is going to be a very good year.

Possibly the most innovative concept to come out in a while, BMW attempts the difficult task of combining power with efficiency. Also, BMW obviously couldn’t just stand by while their main rival Audi releases their all-electric E-tron.

The production version will obviously be a lot tamer than the concept you see, still, expect a shapely supercar like body.

What’s under the hood? Well, not what you’d might expect. It will reportedly feature a 3-cylinder diesel with a range extender and two electric motors. Sound underwhelming? Well the complicated hybrid set up will produce around 356 horsepower and a ridiculously insane 590 pound feet of torque!

There’s more good news. Vision EfficientDynamics will not be the name of the production version. BMW may be considering reviving the M1 moniker for it.  But really, they could call it pig-farter and we’d still buy it.

Honda’s Turn: Fit Recalled

646,000 Fits recalled world wide? Could be worse.

Arguably one of the best in the segment, the Fit is getting recalled due to a defective master switch.

“Only” 140,000 of those Fits are located in North America, (35,000 in Canada) the rest are distributed throughout South America, Europe, Japan, and South Africa

With the defective switch, the affected Fits could catch fire due to water seeping in through the power window mechanism.
