VIDEO nirvana - prototypes running the Ring
Some people bird watch. Other people like to people watch. Hanjo van Heiningen likes to watch prototypes being flogged on the famous Nurburgring in Germany, and he's compiled a video of the very same camo'd cars we've been posting spy shots of over the last few weeks. So which ones did he capture on film? How about the 2008 Cadillac CTS? Got it. Audi R8? Got it. Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago LP640? Got it, got it. The Porsche Panamera mule wearing BMW M5 sheetmetal? Got it, and we'll tell you right now, that car loves to get loose. There's even more vehicles in there we haven't mentioned. Take a look, be envious, go back to work.

Yeah, it's spooky to see that when you aren't prepared for it. Of course, they've always paid about twice to three times as much on the other side of the pond... partly to do with much higher quality gasoline, if I remember correctly. Either way, compared to the rest of the world, our gas is ridiculously cheap.

yeah, in Usa gas is very very cheap. That's one of the motive why your car engines are so big.

One big reason gas is so much more expensive overseas is that the governments tax it quite a bit. This leads to them having nicer roads and less SUV's.

Alex,
Yeah that's always bugged me too. If I wanted to listen to Rob Zombie instead of the car, I could make that happen. I already know what cars look like--the internet is full of high-res pictures. One of the main reasons I watch videos is to hear the motor!
While we're on the topic-- probably the only thing worse than obnoxious music is commentary by the cameraman. "Oh damn, did you see that?" Yeah, man, I did.
