Japan ferrari crash update.

This might the new most expensive car crash ever with a total of eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes involved in a monster crash in Japan. According to reports the accident happened when one of the drivers lost control of his Ferrari while trying to change lanes and collided with the other cars. The accident occurred on the rain-soaked Chugoku Expressway in Yamaguchi Prefecture on the island of Honshu.

Fortunately no one out of the 14 cars involved died, although 10 were taken to the hospital. Sadly as you can tell from the pictures most of the cars involved are damaged beyond repair. According to Bloomberg, the 60-year old man suspected of causing the accident could face up to three months in jail.

The World's Most Expensive car wash.

According to the Daily mail, the worlds most expensive car wash is in Dubai and it offers  a weeklong "spa" treatment for autos and costs around $15,000 per week.

The company, Monza Ultimate Dealing and Protection, only services top tier automobiles such as Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and Rolls Royce.

The cleaning method uses a cutting-edge nanotechnology technique that completely avoids any human contact with the car, eliminating the prospect of fingerprints.

Staff are trained for six months and use microscopes to get rid of small specks of dirt not visible to the naked eye, according to the Daily Mail.

Monza owner, Federick Faidhi, told the paper:

I strongly believe it's a tragedy when someone spends so much money on a magnificent car and then ends up going in to a petrol station or washing it at home with normal tap water.

We don't fade scratches and the swell marks, we eliminate them.

Hmmmmm !!! Nothing feels like a sexy females hands though.

Audi A7

After a whole movie stunting in The transporter. Audi cars have little more to prove on it's versatility and function. Here is what an Audi driver says after a days spin off on inter state roads.
 "Audi’s eight-speed automatic also had paddle shifters, but as has been the case in several cars of late, the transmission is so quick you don’t need to use the paddles very often except for pure play.

Coming out of some sharp curves on interstate ramps, I could let the supercharged and intercooled V-6 do some deep breathing. Think zero to 60 in under 5 ½ seconds from 310 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 325 pound-feet of torque at 2,900 rpm. I began to wonder why we always thought that a car like this simply had to have a V-8. The A7 also has bagged an impressive .91 around Car and Driver’s skidpad.

There is more than adequate room for two adults in the rear and good trunk space wrapped in a body design that turned heads wherever we went. A boy with big brown eyes and a sad look could not avert his gaze from the big Audi. The pickup in which he was riding was towing a beautiful boat along what on Sunday nights is a conveyer belt of an interstate that carries people back home to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore from their summer homes in the western part of Maryland.

Our test car was EPA rated at 18-22 mpg, and I racked up just shy of 20 during my trip. The car prefers premium fuel.

I’ve driven A8 and A7 Audis and the A7 has a sportier feel, which I prefer. It was simply more fun to stuff into a corner. The A7 would also be a good day-to-day car, with luxury touches easy to reach and run (albeit with some practice)."  

  I guess pictures speak louder than words. :)

Hugh Hefner: 'I bought Crystal Harris a Bentley'

Hugh Hefner has revealed that he bought former partner Crystal Harris a car before they 
called off their engagement.
The Playboy publisher was answering a question about what Harris had left their relationship 
with on Piers Morgan Tonight.
Hefner said: "She asked for a Bentley right before we split, so she got the car. She got the ring, 
she didn't have to get it, I gave it to her.

"To her credit, we have a dog, Charlie, and I love the dog. She brought it back, and felt that I had missed it more than she did. The point is [that] she gave me the dog, I gave her the ring!"
Hefner also revealed that his former fiancée did get some money, but "not as much as she would have if she'd married me".
When Morgan asked Hefner if he felt that Harris had led him on, he responded: "I think an argument could be made that she took me for a ride, but I must say, quite frankly, it was a pretty nice ride. 
"It was two and a half very good years, and if she was faking it, she did it very well, she certainly convinced me... I wouldn't even have contemplated the possibility of marriage if I didn't think she was really, really committed to me."
Hefner also told Morgan during the interview that he "truly didn't see" that Harris would leave him.
A special programme called Runaway Bride, featuring interviews with Hefner and Harris, will air on Tuesday, July 19 at 10/9c on Lifetime. The show replaces a feature on the wedding which was originally commissioned.

Sir Stirling Moss takes delivery of new Aston Martin Cygnet

Sir Stirling Moss has taken delivery of his newly purchased Aston Martin Cygnet a surprise birthday present for his wife, Lady Moss. Sir Stirling Moss said “my greatest partner in everything that I do, Susie is an amazing person and frankly the best wife a man could have. Since seeing a pre-production Cygnet in January I knew that it was the perfect car for Susie."

The Aston Martin Cygnet engine returns more than 65mpg and has CO2 emissions of just 99/km. The interior is finished in the traditional top quality leather, wood and carbon fibre trim that you would be offered in an Aston. Customers can also customize the Aston Martin Cygnet to their individual taste inside. Specifications for Lady Moss’s car include Sir Stirling’s choice of Aston Martin Racing Green, harking back to the company’s sports cars that Sir Stirling raced in the 1950s, as the paint colour. This iconic exterior has been complemented by a simple and elegant interior hand crafted in Obsidian Black leather with a contrasting coarse silver stitch, forming a typically understated combination.

At just three metres long, the Aston Martin Cygnet gives the driver a new dimension of freedom, able to slot into gaps in traffic, exploit the smallest parking spaces, consume the least fuel and emit the lowest emissions, all while delivering exceptional levels of quality and comfort.
