Stark Motor Racing Team - Iron Man 2 on Stephen Verdier's Drift Subaru

It looks like with the inclusion of a fancy scene with Tony Stark piloting a fancy open-wheel racecar in the upcoming movie, Iron Man 2, that Royal Purple has jumped on the opportunity to co-brand with Marvel to create the Stark Motor Racing Team.  Except in reality.  Five drivers, from five different racing demographics, will be campaigning Iron Man 2, Royal Purple and Stark logo placement on their fast rides for 2010, including Stephen Verdier and his wicked drift Subaru.  Other drivers and riders from Stark Motor Racing Team include Melissa Paris, AMA Road Racing, Joey Stathas, Monster Trucks, David Hope, NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycles and Chris Prey, Grand Am Road Racing.  Real interesting marketing campaign and kudos to whomever came up with it.

Pagani Zonda R: Official Commercial

There really isn't much you can say about the Pagani Zonda R that hasn't already been said, discussed and brought about a million times on the Internet.  So it's a surprise to say that their official commercial would perk eyebrows and actually give us an angle that we haven't seen.  In fact, this video is so beautifully done and edited that it's probably one of the best three minutes you'll ever spend in your life.  So get ready and check it out after the jump.

Noblesse Honda CR-Z

The generation of CR-Z tuning has begun!

Noblesse Honda CR-Z

After visiting Tokyo Auto Salon and seeing how rampant hybrid-tuning was over there, it's no surprise that Honda's new CR-Z would become a hit with the aftermarket.  We've already seen iterations from Mugen and Spoon Sports and now Noblesse has thrown their black on black CR-Z into the mix.  This one seems to have received quite the treatment, hitting the track to put it to the test.  We're still not sure on how the CR-Z will fare here in the States with only 122-hp and weighing in at over 2,500 lbs.  Will it bring Honda back on the map with stateside tuners?  More pics after the jump along with a video.

Infiniti 2010 G Anniversary Edition

While every 2010 Infiniti G Sedan, Coupe or Convertible seems special to those who design, engineer, manufacture or market them – and also to their owners – Infiniti has just released four new G Anniversary Editions that stand apart from every other Infiniti G ever created. These uniquely equipped Anniversary G37s, built in commemoration of Infiniti’s 20th anniversary, will be available in very limited numbers – 350 G Sedans and 200 each for the G Coupe and G Convertible. They are scheduled to go on sale at Infiniti retailers nationwide in mid-April.  Full release and photos after the jump.

Enjuku Racing Represented Worldwide!

A passionate customer takes sticker placement to a whole new level

Enjuku Racing Represented Worldwide!

Stickers are always a good marketing tool.  Including it with sales is cool, some people will put it on their walls, refrigerators and sometimes their cars.  Most people joke about stickers adding horsepower to the car, and while some may shudder at the thought of stickering up their car, this Enjuku Racing customer didn't even think twice placing it on his vehicle of choice.  You see out in Iraq, where many of our honored men and women are stationed right now, the passion of building your car doesn't die.  So many enthusiasts order parts while they're stationed overseas, eagerly awaiting to work on their car once their deployment is over and they're back at home.  This customer made a nice order and received the typical sticker from EnjukuRacing.com.  Without thinking twice, he put it on his daily driver - an Apache Helicopter.  This is by far one of the coolest places we've ever seen an automotive-related sticker placed!

Updated: Looks like a missile wanted to get in on the action too.

Carlsson C25 - One to Die For

The ultimate super car from the aftermarket?

Posted by Jason Siu
 Friday, March 05, 2010
Carlsson C25 - One to Die For

It seems Carlsson has reached new heights on this transformed C25 that sports over 700 hp with twin turbo power.  The Halloween theme throughout the inside and outside is unique and definitely fitting for the menacing project that resembles an aggressive widebody and look that never seems to find its way off the Mercedes-Benz production line.  Based on the SL600, this is one of the unique times where concept went to reality and executed perfectly.  More photos after the jump.

Project SI - Skunk2 Rear Camber Kit Install

With the racing season for our Project SI just under 2 weeks away its time we start getting the car ready.  This last week Skunk2 announced the release of the new Rear Camber Kit for the 2006+ Honda Civic SI, lucky for us we managed to get our hands on one.   Let me just start by saying this part is amazing, the quality is off the charts and gold color never hurts.  Now like we mentioned in the last update on the Skunk2 Rear Camber Kit, this new kit will allow you to adjust the camber on the rear without have to remove the part.

More details on the Install after the jump.

Mugen Honda CR-Z

Honda's new hatch, succcessor to the CR-X, gets the Mugen treatment

Mugen Honda CR-Z

Mugen hasn't been making a lot of noise recently, especially with Honda introducing and marketing the Modulo brand heavily at Tokyo Auto Salon.  It almost seems as if Mugen is nonexistent these days.  They've taken the new Honda CR-Z hatchback, the successor to the ever popular CR-X, and has decked it out with a full aero kit tuning package, exhaust, possibly suspension and wheels.  Some may not be a fan of the styling of Mugen, but it definitely shows that the new CR-Z has tuning potential.  More pics after the jump.

Official: Audi RS5

The next street-rampaging coupe from Audi has been introduced

Posted by Jason Siu
 Friday, February 26, 2010
Official: Audi RS5

Audi's styling as of late has become very bold, garnering new fans from around the world.  The new A5/S5 is arguably the best looking coupe on the road in its price range, so there has been great anticipation for the RS 5 and what Audi would finally come out with.  They have finally released the official photos with seductive styling but a hefty price tag.  Priced at around 77,000 Euros, equating to well over $100,000 USD, did Audi miss the mark completely?  Or will exclusivity find its way to the RS 5 moniker, targeting only the affluent looking for a daily substitute to their Ferrari or Bentley.  Full German translated release after the jump with more photos.
