Scorpion Motorsports
| November 10, 2010 3:30 am |Scorpion Motorsports is the new name in manic performance machines. Haven’t heard of them? We hadn’t either. The Miami-based firm builds only 40 of its P6s a year making it one of the most exclusive vehicles on the road. The U.S. government calls it a motorcycle, we consider it INSANE. Why? The p6 is a street legal F1 car that can out run most super exotics. If this doesn’t give your pulse a wake-up call then we don’t know what will. Starting at only $28,000; about half the price of a t-rex, the only thing this Scorpion won’t sting is your wallet.

Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
| October 11, 2010 11:19 pm |Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
The Trident marque has catered to a more luxury-oriented market than the raw performance of its big brother on the Prancing Horse. But that doesn’t mean they can’t push the envelop just a little, and that’s what you’re looking at here.
Called the MC Stradale, this ultimate version of the GranTurismo bridges the gap between road and race models in the same way the revolutionary Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale did in its day. To get there, Maserati’s tuned the chassis, aero and engine to more closely resemble the levels attained on racing versions like the MC Trofeo spec racer and the GT4 competition model.
Modena claims increased downforce without a the combersum increase of drag, while the engine has been boosted to 450 horsepower as compared to the 430 in the existing GranTurismo S. That’s all Maserati has released at this point, read the press release after the video and check out the images in the gallery below.
Specs:
Engine V8, 4691 cc
Maximum power 450 bhp @ 7000 rpm
Maximum torque 510 Nm @ 4750 rpm
Top speed 301 km/h
Acceleration 0-100 km/h 4,6 sec

The most notable addition is former WWE Superstar, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, as lawman Luke Hobbs, assigned to capture Dom and his crew. Another face you may recognize is Matt Schulze, who played Vince in the first movie. You can only imagine what he will be up to in Fast Five. And in case you’re wondering, the 6th installment is also in the works but it will not be filmed back to back with the 5th film. Keep checking back as we will have continuous updates here on MyEvilStar.Com.

Ferrari unveiled new 599 SA Aperta Roadster
| September 27, 2010 10:55 pm |Following reports of a private viewing in Pebble Beach earlier this month, Ferrari has revealed first photos and details of the SA APERTA, a drop-top version of the 599. Production is limited to only 80 units all of which have been pre-sold.
The significance of the 80 units pays tribute to styling firm and long time Ferrari partner, Pininfarina, for their 80th anniversary. The SA nomenclature also pays tribute to both Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina.
Described as a true roadster, a removable soft top design is used which Ferrari describes should “be resorted to only if the weather gets particularly bad.” Other body alterations include a lower-angled windscreen, integrated roll-bars flanked by aerodynamic fins and a lowered suspension.
The chassis has been stiffened to compensate for the absence of the roof, however, Ferrari states that any added weight brought on by the re-engineering of the chassis is negligible.
The SA Aperta is equipped with the familiar 6.0-liter V12 producing 661 bhp, same as the recently announced 599 GTO, the road-going version of the 599XX track car.
The SA Aperta makes its public debut in Paris this week.
BMW 6 Series Concept Coupé World Premier at Paris Motor Show
| September 21, 2010 12:58 am |BMW has announced the world premier of the concept for its new 6 Series concept coupe at the 2010 Paris Motor Show Oct. 12 – 17.
Judging from the preview photos, the new coupe still retains some of those classic hallmarks that make a BMW coupe (stretched hood, short front overhang, a low silhouette with a swooped roofline). The concept has a lower silhouette and a tighter rear end, giving it a sportier visual feel.
BMW says the 2+2-seater will have full-LED, adaptive headlights and a newly designed, freestanding control display for the iDrive operating system. It has a full-glass roof, Bang & Olufsen sound and the driver-oriented cockpit (instrument panel, electronics).
The best part is where most “concept” cars never see the light of day, what you are looking at is a concept car in name only. Now while we like this concept over the current 6 series and it is a definite step in the right direction. We would have liked a little more, lets hope the next time they take a leap instead of just a step. What are your thoughts?
