  • Celebrating the Pagani Zonda

    Zonda
    This brand new episode of DRIVE is an aural delight, with the Pagani Zonda and Chris Harris’ right foot providing the soundtrack.

    Sadly this is just a two minute preview before next week’s big film, which sees Chris drive Horacio Pagani’s very own Zonda and Huayra, but the sound of that Mercedes-AMG V12 should keep you going until then.

    Turn your speakers up.

  • 1100 hp BMW E30 M3

    BMW M3
    Here’s an interesting BMW E30 M3 spotted by CvdZijden at the recent Gran Turismo Nurburgring event.

    Although it appears relatively standard from the outside, it actually packs an 1100 horsepower punch underneath its ventilated hood. Sadly, the owners chose to stray from the BMW path, opting instead for a heavily tweaked turbocharged 2JZ unit from Toyota’s Supra.

    Still, look at it go!
