780 HP Ferrari 488 GTB vs 802 HP Audi R8

Monday Motivation: 780 HP Ferrari 488 GTB vs 802 HP Audi R8

We pride ourselves on bringing you the most unlikely comparisons in exotic cars for sale. Top speed runs are all the rage these days, but outside of a race track, they are only legal on the Autobahn. So our friends at AutoTopNL found two of the fastest cars in Europe for a proper showdown.

In a YouTube video uploaded on Saturday, we see a 780 horsepower Ferrari 488 GTB take on an Audi R8 tuned to 802 horsepower. In a proper use of the scientific method, the cars were tested together and also separately to showcase their abilities. Fighting for Deutschland, the home field advantage would seem to go to the R8. It packs a 5.2 liter V10 coupled to the quattro AWD system. The Italian Stallion is the latest from Maranello, with a 3.9 liter V8 coupled to twin turbos behind the cockpit.

Both cars are modified, but the extent of the upgrades are unknown. What is clearly evident is the aerodynamic abilities at top speed. Audi and Ferrari have a very different view on differential gearing, which can make or break your acceleration on the highway. The dash cams tell a story of boost vs displacement, so tell us which car you would own and stay with us for more fast-paced footage here on Autofluence.

World’s First Electric G-Wagen

Arnold Schwarzenegger Shows Off the World’s First Electric G-Wagen

Jay Leno’s Garage

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Proud owner of the world’s first electric Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.

Posted by Jay Leno’s Garage on Saturday, January 6, 2018

Once known for bodybuilding a, being the governator and hunting the Predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger is now taking on the electric automobile industry. With help from Kriesel Motors, an Austrian company that has been aiming to be a shaker and mover in the world of electric cars. Recently, Schwarzenegger visited Jay Leno’s Garage to give the host a close look at the world’s first electric Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. The SUV is powered by electric motors that can be both charged by plug-in and repowered through regenerative braking. With a lighter weight than a standard G-Wagen, this electric SUV can run 0-62 mph in just 5.6 seconds. That’s just 0.2 seconds slower than an AMG G63, which is impressive considering this is not an AMG model. The video below is just a teaser, so stay on the lookout for the full video to come out in due time.

New Nissan Tech Will Actually Read Your Mind

New Nissan Tech Will Read Your Mind

The technology you see in futuristic movies is coming to real life at a rapid pace and this year’s CES show is will have a bevy of future tech on display. Nissan will be showcasing their “Brain-to-Vehicle” (B2V) technology that will give the car a glimpse into the brain of the driver.

Why You Should Buy A Nissan GT-R

The B2V tech will use signals that the driver’s brain puts out to better understand the person behind the wheel. When certain moods or waves are recognized, the B2V tech will adjust the vehicle’s systems to provide the most pleasant and reactive drive possible. Basically, the car will know what you plan on doing before you actually perform the action. Because of this, your reaction times behind the wheel will be faster than… humanly possible. Could this mean launches in the GT-R will be faster than every car out there? Now that would be nice. You can learn about the tech in the video below from Nissan.

BMW 8-Hour M5 Drift

BMW Is Preparing For An 8-Hour M5 Drift

Nothing beats a quick drift on your daily commute. Front wheel drive enthusiasts might want to rethink their daily drivers because BMW is aiming to break the world record for the longest drift. The event will take place tomorrow and it is being sanctioned by Guinness World Records.

In a YouTube video uploaded this morning, BMW has shocked everyone with an unprecedented level of preparation. Sure it would be easy to install one giant fuel tank to break the record, and Guinness even allows for quick stops for fuel and driver swaps. But BMW never chooses the easy path. That’s why they took inspiration from military aircraft and developed a drift-capable refueling system.

Top 10 Fastest Quarter Mile Times

Utilizing an auxiliary fuel cell in the back seat, the driver will be able to transfer fuel between the main and secondary tanks to keep the car properly balanced. The new tank will be fed by a high-pressure hose from another car drifting alongside. Engineers machined a scaled-down version of aircraft components, complete with dry break-aways in case of emergency. Their goal was 18 gallons in under a minute, and they have the process down to 50 seconds.

The 2018 BMW M5 shares almost nothing in common with its predecessors. Gone is the dual-clutch transmission, so say hello to the same 8-speed automatic ZF builds for many other performance cars. It has been beefed up to handle 592 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. The front tires can now have fun thanks to the M xDrive AWD system, which arrives with an RWD-only drift mode. We wish BMW the best on this epic undertaking, and as soon as the footage is released you will see it first here on Autofluence.

The Last 289 Cobra

The Last 289 Cobra Could be Yours

All good things must come to an end, and so it was in 1965. Carroll Shelby and Company were busy building the big block 427 Cobras, so it was the end of the line for its predecessor. The small-block Cobra used Ford’s 289 V8. It was light and nimble, with good weight distribution on the track. Big brother 427 was not, but it used brute force in a straight line to overpower the competition.

For years, the 289 Cobras were eclipsed by the 427 cars. But the untimely passing of our friend Mr. Shelby has sent Cobras into the stratosphere. This example is CSX2588, and it was the last 289 Cobra sold to the public. The final car was CSX2589, and Shelby built it with an automatic to keep for himself.

One of only 56 leaf spring cars to be finished in Rouge Iris, it has lived a life of leisure. Never needed a full restoration, it has been treated to new carpet along with a repaint by Shelby historian Colin Comer. Everything from the LeMans-spec Holley carburetor to the wire wheels is factory original. The car’s history is fully documented with the SAAC’s Cobra World Registry, and it can be yours. CSX2588 will be a primetime feature of Mecum’s Kissimmee auction, so tune in and stay with us for complete coverage of the event.

DIY: Oil Filter & Transmission Ferrari F430

DIY: Oil Filter & Transmission Service on Ferrari F430

If the cost of maintenance is a concern for your purchase, Ferrari and other exotic brands are including regular service along with your purchase. Oil changes are essential to keep your car from having a heart attack. Old motor oil leaves deposits in the small arteries, so don’t let good oil go bad. If you aren’t afraid to turn a wrench, you can save a few dollars by changing your Ferrari’s oil in your garage.

Daniel Hurlbert: The F430- An Owner’s Perspective

If you need an excuse to avoid housework, our contributor & friend Daniel Hurlbert filmed another great video to his YouTube page. The F430 has a 4.3 liter V8 and a single clutch automatic transmission. Aside from having two drain plugs on the oil pan, servicing the engine and transmission is downright simple. You will need 3 gallons of oil, 4 quarts of transmission fluid and a torque wrench. Don’t attempt this without a helper, and don’t blame us for spills on the garage floor. Get the satisfaction of doing it yourself and stay with us for all your Ferrari fun.
