Auto:(Photos) “Turbo” Camaro Looks Like A Transformer

As B.I.G. would say “sicker than your average”, and that would be the best way to describe this Camaro compared to others. This transformed Camaro, which is on display this week at the Chicago Auto Show is nothing like what you are gonna see at a dealership. First off, lets start with the word “Turbo”. We are not sure if this Camaro literally has a supercharged engine, because it does not appear so. The word “Turbo” more so refers to the name of the movie that this crazy Camaro will be starring in around July. Dreamworks pictures made a movie about a snail who dreams of being fast, and a cartoon version of this Camaro is who helps the snail achieve his dream of racing. The real life version of this car has the ZL1 badge on the hood, but the ZL1 normally has a V8 engine that can put out 580hp. The L99 engine that is actually in this car only kicks out 400hp, which means the so called “Supercharged” engine, may not be at all. But remember folks, this car is on display at a car show, and it also being used to promote the upcoming movie, so it may be ok for things to not necessarily add up. Check out the gallery after the jump for more pics. The outside of this car is mean!! See for yourself.


Auto:(Video) The EXTENDED Trailer For Fast & Furious 6

The buzz around this movie is going to get crazy as the opening date in May approaches. We covered the exclusive Super Bowl commercial for the movie that had the official trailer. That was only about 1 minute long. This is now the new extended trailer for the movie where you get to see a lot more. I know lovers of this franchise are hyped to see Michelle Rodriguez return. Check out the trailer after the jump and get your cars ready.


Auto:(Video) This Girl Is Lucky To Be Alive

Another crazy video that shows someone coming within inches of their life, literally! The girl walking down the street with her back turned has no clue what is coming right for her. You can see at the end of the video once the girl realizes what just happened, she must of went into shock because she doesn’t move at all and is just standing there trying to take it in. I don’t want to spoil the video too much, so take a look at the clip after the jump and see what happens.


Auto:(Photos) Kia Trying To “Upgrade” Their Brand At Chicago Auto Show

Kia had one of the best marketing campaigns in recent memory with the dancing hampsters to advertise the Kia SOUL. But lets face it, at the end of the day it was very clear that compact SUV was a low-level vehicle aimed at the budget conscious buyer. It was marketed as a “cool” car which definitely helped sales, but did not help move Kia into a higher level of a car brand. The new Optima was the first step in trying to slowly upgrade the brand to more a respected name instead of a bargain basement cheap company. Now Kia is going for more with the new “Cross GT” mid-size crossover. The ride will debut possibly today or later this week at the Chicago Auto Show. Just from looking at the released images of the concept, it is clear they are trying to upgrade the brand. The seating appears to be more of a premium style with bucket looking seats. The roof is crazy! Check out the gallery after the jump.


Auto: Government Trying To Shut Down Audi’s “Bright” Idea

Audi has been using their “Matrix” beam lighting system on concept cars for the past 2 years. It is a brilliant idea, but may have some problems actually being used on production cars. The system uses small cameras to detect other vehicles on the road and darkens specific elements of the high-beam pattern to provide maximum nighttime visibility without blinding other drivers. Audi has hopes the new system will help do away with the standard high & low beam settings on cars now. Only issue is the NHSTA ( National Highway Traffic System Administration), does not allow this type of system under it’s current guidelines. Audi wants to know if ANY parts of their lighting system are allowed to be used for production models. If this does not get eventually approved this would be highly counter productive to progress. This is a great piece of technology and would have drivers no longer needing to reach for the high beams and low beams depending how dark it is and if cars are heading towards you. Get it together NHSTA.


Auto:(Video) You Won’t See This Happen Often In A Race

God was definitely on this driver’s side in this race. Not many drivers, let alone the car itself will survive the car doing a complete flip. The most amazing part of this clip is the car keeps on racing after being damaged from flipping end over end. This happened the other day during a rally fighter race in Arizona. The driver was ok after the race. Watch the clip after the jump.
