This Is One Russian Bus Driver You Don't Want to Mess With… Posted: 06 Mar 2013 01:25 PM PST  Driving in Russia seems to be quite a risky and chaotic undertaking, with all the wicked driving that's going on there.

| Brabus Butches Up Mercedes SL65 AMG with 800 Roadster Posted: 06 Mar 2013 12:11 PM PST  For most drivers, the last thing missing from the latest Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG is power, since the R231-codenamed hardtop roadster comes with more than enough oomph, thanks to its 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine rated for 621hp (630PS) and 1,000Nm (737 lb-ft). Nevertheless, if you're one of those few heavy-pocketed individuals who disagree and don't mind messing your hair with the top down, Brabus has just the right solution with its new 800 Roadster model that made its world premiere this week at the Geneva motor show.

| Italdesign Giugiaro's Parcour V10 Concept Wears its Race Stripes Posted: 06 Mar 2013 08:40 AM PST  It's something of a tradition for Italdesign Giugiaro to present multiple editions of its concept cars.
