Video: Pikes Peak hero takes Hyundai coupe and travels mostly sideways up Brazilian mountain road Think Europe has the monopoly on sensational spaghetti-shaped driving roads? Brazil would like to take that conception and drop it off a mountain range. Preferably, this one. The Serra Do Rio Do Rastro is not a ‘New Latin Gym Free Dance Craze!' but a mountain range in Southern Brazil. And along this mountain range lies a stretch of tarmac seemingly created by the gods of oversteer.

They strapped Rhys into a race-prepped 750bhp Hyundai Genesis coupe, gave him a pat on the back and sent him on his way. This is the result. Sponsored By : CHAUDHRI ELECTRODE ENGINEERING.

There is a small but influential and lightly prosperous body of thought that believes any car can be bettered by adding some pronounced scoops and bigger wheels. This body of thought is today manifested via Brabus, that modest German outfit behind the creation of a 788bhp Mercedes S Class , which has decided the SLS AMG needs More. Unveiled for the Essen Motor Show, the lightly modified "Widestar" features a new front spoiler, a rear apron, blistered rear wheel arches, a boot lid spoiler, sculpted rocker panels and bigger air outlets. The wideboy SLS comes with 30mm lower Bilstein suspension (adjustable), and 20 and 21-inch lightweight forged alloys. You only get 10bhp more via a titanium exhaust system, but then the SLS comes with a 6.2-litre 563bhp V8, which is plenty. It doesn't need modding, but it could have been worse. Much, much worse...

Murcielago SV gets V12 salute through streets of Sant’Agata with rather tasty ceremonial lap Posted by: Vijay Pattni , 30 November 2010 Back to Car News Remember the Lamborghini Murcielago SV? You know, the understated, sedate and not-at-all orange V12 supercar made by those mad Italians? Well, production of it has finished. The last SV borne from thunder and skirt appendages was met with a lavish ceremony to mark its monument among Lamborghini heritage.

New sub-Cayenne SUV based on the Audi Q5 confirmed by Porsche board. The Cajun is go! Porsche has confirmed that its next model line will be a new SUV, which will slot into the range below the Cayenne. In a statement from yesterday’s board meeting, Porsche confirmed a new model “under the working name "Cajun"… will further expand the world’s most successful Porsche segment in the SUV sector.” The new car will form what Porsche describes as “an attractive entry model in the Porsche world. The "Cajun" will attract new and even younger customers to the premium brand along with the Boxster, the market leader in the segment of two-seater, mid-size sports cars.” The Porsche Cajun will be based on the Audi Q5 and will go into production in 2013. The move makes plenty of sense, as the recently introduced new Cayenne is selling extremely well. In the first full quarter of sales of the new car, the Cayenne shifted more than double the number of cars in the same period last ye...

Our man hits the track in the one-off, Pininfarina-designed supercar A brilliant montage of the original Lancia Stratos in the heat of competition battle is playing on a big screen, backed by some great period rock tunes. One of the most successful rally cars of the 1970s, the Stratos is one of those cars that exerts a magical hold over the people who lived through its imperial period, and for many beyond that too. Just 492 were made, and it was conceived purely as a pretty terrifying competition weapon. It is, to use an over-used word, a legend. Now it's back. To the strains of Rolling Stones classic 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', it's obvious that for German businessman and Stratos enthusiast Michael Stoschek, sometimes you can get exactly what you want.
