All I want 4 Christmas…
As they say “Tis the Season”….well, here at motorfanatics, ’tis the season to be dreaming. Dreaming about fantasy shopping binges. Yesterday, Chris and I went for lunch..and after a quick bite to eat, we decided to do some window shopping. I quickly remembered the BRABUS showroom in Newport Beach, and we headed over. As we pulled in, it occurred to me that it had been a while since I looked in the window. BRABUS was gone, but there was a Rolls Royce Phantom staring out the window with a big bow on top, so we knew we’d still get to see some goods. Inside we found another ½ dozen rolling palaces, in various colors and configurations. All equally extravagant, and excessive. But in the back we found the cars more our style.

James…Your Car is Ready
Ever been rendered speechless? Like when the hottest girl in school says she likes you? Happened to me back in the 7th grade, no joke, hottest girl in school, an 8th grader, wanted to “go” with me. What did that consist of? Nothing, I think I spoke 3 words to her, danced with her at a school dance, was completely overwhelmed with confusing emotions, and then a week later, her friend called my house, and told me it was over. But the level of stoke that first evening…was immeasurable. That brings us to yesterday morning.
Honda CR-Z: Fast AND Frugal?
This going to throw a lot of people off here. First because we haven’t updated content in 3 months (our bad) second, it’s about a hybrid from a company in Japan and third, it’s about how I’m actually excited about it. If you’ve been following us for a while, I’m sure you’ve noticed how pro-european [...]
Abt Sportsline Audi AS5
So if you’ve visited lately, you know that Chris is off to enjoy the power tour…and he’s already posting regularly with his updates and adventure notes. I figured before the barrage of all things power tour really gets going, I’d hit you with one quick euro treat.
I first got my hands on an Audi S5 [...]
MotorFail: HarleyFiero Trike
From time-to-time, we come across some seriously epic fails. The best fails are those that make you think “what the hell was that guy thinking”?!? While we haven’t posted any fails on MotorFantics yet, I found the fail of all fails today and I knew it just had to go in the blog. Who knows, [...]
100 is Nice, 200 Kicks ASS!
Who would a’ thought it? I guess if something already kicks ass, it can be made more kick ass. Taking their cues from the Porsche philosophy of “refine and perfect”, the kids over at TECHART set out for the Trial of Strength at the High Speed event in Nardo, Italy, to set a record, and they did it. Now, I can speak from experience when I tell you that a Porsche Cayenne can move down the road, but 200mph? That’s more than the legal speed limit faster than I’ve ever driven mine. An insane 690hp made it possible for the TECHART equipped Cayenne Turbo S to hit the mark. Rather than regurgitate the details of an event I did not attend, here is what they say happened.
