XCAR checks out Revolution, a shop in a UK to check out their project STi. At first glance it looks like any normal Impreza but you’ll notice that it only has 2 doors and much wider then a standard Impreza. The project was created to celebrate Revolution’s 15 years anniversary, with the final of goal of being fastest Subaru around the Nurburging. Tommi Makinen set the original record back in 2010 for Subaru Japan in a Subaru STi Spec C.

Red Bull releases another crazy video featuring Formula Drift driver Mad Mike and his 4 rotor Mazda RX7 drifting the Crown Range in New Zealand. The Crown Range is 10.4 kilometers long, has 47 corners and is the country’s highest paved road.

XCAR releases a new video in the same theme as the 370Z vs 240Z I posted earlier in the month. This time around, XCAR pits the legendary BMW E30 M3 against its newest successor the BMW E92 M3 GTS. We find out just how well the aging E30 stands up against the powerful and technical E92 on a test ride.

Watch manufacture Hublot teams up with Ferrari to create an advanced watch to celebrate Ferrari’s new LaFerrari. Titled the Mp-05 LaFerrari, the watch is limited to just 50 units with the price just shy of $300,000. The watch is constructed with a combination of titanium and rubber parts. Winding and setting the watch takes a bit of effort with the use of a special tool supplied by Hublot.

Check out this great video detailing a shops pursuit to beat the world record for world’s fastest 10.5 import. E.Kanoo Racing team of 25 people worked tirelessly to prep their Supra to take down the world record time of 6:25. I wasn’t able to find very much info about the car but apparently it uses a standard 2JZ block and uses 3/4 of the original chassis.

Petrolious sits down and talks to James Chen about his elegant Ferrari 250 GT Lusso. The Lusso with its unique looks also has a unique starting procedure, almost like a ritual. James describes it as a way to prepare himself and get acquainted with the car before going for a drive. James Chen also owns a Lamborghini Countache featured by Petrolicious awhile back, be sure to check it out.

First thing you’ll be wondering, what on earth is a BMW M2? Well there isn’t one but that’s what shop owner Marc Norris has dubbed his client’s BMW 2002. What started off as a restoration quickly turned into a full on overhaul for the 70′s vehicle. Norris ends up taking components from an E30 BMW M3 and cramming them into the little car. Creating a stellar driving experience in an old school body.

I always say that cars aren’t like they used to but we all know that increased regulations and safety requirements have changed the ways manufactures build cars now. Motor Trend compares a project 370Z with its original predecessor the Datsun 240Z. Not just any 240Z though – this fine example sports a RB26 transplant front a Nissan Skyline.

Japanese magazine Motorhead teams up with Maiham Media, releasing a fresh video of Seija Ara ripping up Fuji Speedway in a Bugatti Veyron GrandSport. The video is a nice mix of shots of the vehicle and Seija explaining the driving experience of the $1,700,000 car.

Continuing from the Morgan Aeromax video, XCAR takes a spin in the Morgan 3 Wheeler. A very unique car that delivers a raw and crazy driving experience with little effort. The 3 Wheeler is a modern interpretation of the cyclecar which Morgan built way back when. The driver appropriately compares the car to a Spitfire, it certainly looks like a 40′s era war plane.
