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

Iron Man 2 sponsorship coming to sport compact?

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.

Quite the beautiful looker from XTR CarChip Tuning

XTR CarChip Porsche Cayman S X-Wide

Overseas tuners XTR CarChip Tuning has built one hell of a race of a race car.  This Porsche Cayman S has been nicely widened and flows amazingly well without looking gaudy.  Surprisingly the baby blue and white theme fits the theme of the car.  Interesting to see license plates on this race inspired car.  Is it an all out track car?  Check out more photos of this work of art after the jump.

Car & Driver: Top 10 Best Cars of 2010

For the 28th year in a row, Car & Driver has announced their top 10 cars for 2010.  There is plenty of great rides for us to look forward to and hopefully plenty of new cars to hit the race and show scene for 2010.  I am happy to see that the 2010 Audi S4 made it on the list as it may be the next car on my list to get my dirty little hands on.  It's an interesting variety of cars with domestics, imports and Europeans on it.  Most interesting to us is the Ford Fusion Hybrid which has been garnering a lot of attention from the press media.  Here's the top 10:

2010 Audi S4
2010 BMW 3-series / M3
2010 Cadillac CTS / CTS-V
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
2010 Honda Accord
2010 Honda Fit
2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata
