Coffee & Cars Compilation

Coffee & Cars Compilation

marshallchang has been attending Coffee & Cars for about a year and this is his compilation.

What better way to enjoy your Venti Latte on a Sunday morning than with a side of Supercar? That's the idea behind Coffee and Cars, a weekly gathering of exotics, supercars, ricers, you name it, all gathering to enjoy the traffic-free Sunday morning roads, ogle each others cars and generally have a good time.

Let's face it, any video that starts off with a Porsche Carrera GT and a Ferrari Enzo as the first two cars featured, is worth watching, no?

Enjoy the Coffee & Cars Compliation

Tanner Foust: Top Gear USA Host

Tanner Foust: Top Gear USA Host

If you're any sort of car fan, you're a Top Gear fan and, like us, have been waiting to see if all the Top Gear USA talk is real. Well, turns out, it is.

And, along with Adam Carolla and some bloke we've barely heard of, drift racer and X Games Champ, Tanner Foust, is stepping in front of the camera and, we imagine, into the American shoes of Richard Hammond.

And, thanks to SpeedEngineBlock we can get an idea of what Tanner's like in front of the camera rather than behind the wheel.

Seems he's trying to move up in the world if this clip from SuperCars Exposed is anything to go by. Seriously, you can glide a car around a track, compete in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and you don't know how to wash a car? Dude, get a grip!

Turns out the rich guy who's interested in buying an exotic isn't too impressed with Tanner's sales technique but perhaps that's a good thing. Unlike other car shows that gloss over the details and never tell you if a car is crap, maybe this means the US version of our favorite show will continue the British tradition of not pulling any punches or genuflecting to advertisers. We can but hope.

VIDEO: 850rwhp Lamborghini TwinTurbo Gallardo...Spyder!!!



Brought to you by speedandmotion

Hey we found another great supercar video! Speedandmotion uploaded a video of a 850rwhp Gallardo Spyder equipped with a twinturbo charger kit. The clip begins witha great still shot of the car right before it blasts off! And it's like oh yeah this is going to be fun!

The video is about seven minutes long. Basically you ride along listening to gear shifts and this gets quite exciting when he hits the open road. I think the driver is into Lambo leather though!

VIDEO:Exotics Rally Crew Quick Run in NYC

Exotics Rally Crew Quick Run in NYC

Brought to you by Hovik.

Hey this one is nicely done by Dreamin' TV for Exotics Rally. Exotics Rally was founded in July, 2007, for auto enthusiasts who have similar interests in cars, travel, driving, and evening activities. The rallies have been held mainly in the Manhattan area but they are branching out into other parts of the US.

The video: It's an "Exotic" night run through Manhattan. The video offers great visuals. You'll see a couple of Murcielagos, a Gallardo Superleggra, Carrera GT, and GT3Rs. There is footage of the cars seriously smoking the other traffic, but mostly the Exotic owners are having a blast just driving. And who can get enough of that Lambo roar you hear about one minute thirty-four to one minute forty-five seconds into the clip? About five minutes in the vivid images start to become softer and mimic fantasy. Pretty cool! An exotic 'car' fantasy world! Then later on all that horsepower verberates off concrete as they go through tunnels. Toward the end of the video see some "Exotic-struck" fans trying to get some snapshots standing in front of one of the Murcielagos.

VIDEO: 1989 Honda CRX vs. 2001 Lambo

1989 Honda CRX vs. 2001 Lambo

Uploaded by: MRJDM609

The people at Mischief.tv uploaded this unbelievable clip. If I hadn't seen it a while ago I'd think it was an April fool’s prank. Why? Well, just read the title of the video again. Now, if you saw a Honda CRX and a Lamborghini Murcielago side by side on the open road with the drivers even contemplating a run, what would your initial reaction be?

As obvious as the obvious may seem maybe this is a lesson to always be open-minded to the ingenuity of gearheads.

The passenger in the Lambo gives an accurate summation after each run. The first run begins about 20 seconds into the clip and the second about 50 seconds into the clip.

Here are a few stock stats on the cars:

Lambo: Engine: 6.2L V-12, 572; Weight: 4058; 0-60 in 3.8

1989 Honda CRX: Engine: B18 Series; Weight: 1,834 pounds; 0-60 FAST!

VIDEO: Lamborghini LP560-4 Commercial

Lamborghini LP560-4 Commercial




I know I know, we just posted a video of the all new Lamborghini LP560-4 a few days ago. I just can't get over how gorgeous of a car this is. Everything from it's new interior to the all new quad exhaust tips that announce to the world it's sexiness and power, I find myself falling further and further in love. This commercial is unique in itself so make sure to check it out.

If that doesn't give you enough of a Lamborghini fix check out some of these other videos of the new LP650-4.

EXCLUSIVE: First Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 video



Thanks to Hovik for putting up this exclusive video of the Raging Bull's newest addition to the family. In the video you will notice a lot of the new features that make this Lambo a step above it's siblings. The obvious would be the 560HP produced out of the 5.2L V10 putting power down to the ground through Lamborghini's AWD system.

I'm very impressed by all of the new styling changes that the crew out of Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy have put forth in this car. From the suspension, chassis, and even an all new interior, this Lamborghini will evoke emotions that you never knew you had.

The sound that comes out of the car is music to my ears. Some people are comparing the sound to the last year's Gallardo Superleggera. What do you think?

Also check out the Lamborghini LP560-4 photo gallery.

Video: Car-Parazzi at CHP 11-99 Foundation Run '07

View CHP 11-99 Foundation Run

Brought to you by Car-Parazzi.

The CHP (California Highway Patrol) 11-99 Foundation was created to provide assistance to current, retired and Fallen in the Line of Duty CHP employees and their families. The guys from Car-Parazzi were at their latest run through the beautiful Southern California canyons. With just about every exotic car in production today at the event, it's definitely something worth seeing.

A proper response to the question "will I see my favorite supercar in this video" would simply be "what color would you like it in." It's the who's who of exotics. You'll see everything from an original GT-40, to today's rarest production cars like the Ferrari Enzo and the Bugatti Veyron.

It's kind of funny at 2:24 when a motorcyclist going in the opposite direction decides to turn around in the middle of the road to follow the line of cars. Everyone wants to be a part of the run.

Lamborghini Reventon




Viewing the Lamborghini Reventon (revenTON) makes one marvel in the fact that the automobile, just a little over a century ago, was quite literally a horseless carriage. Today car designs are out of this world and the Reventon, although named after an earthly creature, a famous fighting bull, looks to be aerodynically capable of space flight. And why not, lines and angles were inspired by the F-22 Raptor.

1200hp Supra vs. Lambo LP640

View VideoThis is just the sickest Supra. It's unbelievable how quickly the Supra walks away from the LP640. I'm laughing at all the smack talk on the boards about how the owner of the LP640 got owned. The same guy owns both cars. LOL. Hopefully he uploads more videos!

Lamborghini Reventon, an overpriced LP640 with a bodykit?


Thanks to SLICK for the great video.

Well we've all heard about the all new Lamborghini Reventon, the Bull's new muscle. We've all seen it in pictures but here it is on the road.

I actually had the opportunity to speak with Stephan Winkelman, the CEO for Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A at the LA Auto Show a few weeks ago. The pictures really don't do this car justice. It definitely is amazing, but is it really worth $1.4 million dollars for a bodykit and a few extra ponies?

Is this simply a way for the Italian car maker to show off what they can do because I really don't see the financial gains for them by only a handful of cars.

With only 20 vehicles scheduled for production and 11 of those coming to the USA, the odds of seeing one on the road are very unlikely so make sure you check out the Reventon Video.

Tell us what you think in the Reventon Discussion.

Top Gear in GT5, Hybrid Supercar?

Here's your daily dose of everything automotive with Ji Young Min from Fast Lane Daily.

If you love Top Gear as much as I do then you wouldn't mind taking your shot at being the "Stig" around the Top Gear track. Now you have your shot at creating your own lap times in the new Gran Turismo 5 dated for release next year.

The man that designed cars for BMW and Aston Martin has decided decided to go where the grass is a bit greener. Henrik Fisker has designed a very good looking Hybrid supercar. With estimates at around 100 MPG, this makes your Prius look like a gas guzzling SUV.


Watch today's Fast Lane Daily Video.
