Lewis Hamilton drove the Koenigsegg HH from LA to Vegas

To each their own on their off time.

Not Lewis.

Having fully ditched the "love me, I got a puppy" phase in favor of full baller,  Hamilton showed up,  photographers and bodyguards in tow to drive the Agera HH in  that flashiest of rallies,  The Gumball for its final leg  from LA to Vegas.

Hamilton is of course a supercar connoisseur :  the stick shift purple Zonda, the rumored P1 and LaFerrari. the Cobras, the Mustang.

He would be an ideal customer for a purple Agera LH with a stick to match his Zonda LH!

A treat for Koenigsegg fans, the One:1

because if you must have GPS controlled dampers, where else are going to go?

You can watch Koenigsegg Agera One:1 run up the hill at Goodwood live here on Axis.

It looks like Darth Vader's Bathroom

I had to laugh, a German car show, "Grip", compared ten extreme road cars, you know you got your Enzo, your Veyron, your Gumpert, the weakest of these cars has 500hp. The winner? A viking TransAm with 1400HP, claiming to be the most powerful road legal car in the world and good for 256mph (412km/h).

The Turbo Kitt apparently cannot be driven more than a few miles without shredding its tires, now you know why the Veyron's tires cost $34000 a set. This TransAm had made the rounds on the internet a year or two ago but amazingly, Mr. Polly has managed to keep it alive, possibly by only driving it to David Hasselhoff conventions where he must recite these immortal lines:

Michael: What do you say we play a little 'hooky'?
KITT: 'Hooky?' I'm not familiar with that term.
Michael: Then allow me to educate you in one of life's finer pleasures!
KITT: Oh, that does feel good!
Michael : How 'bout a little turbo boost?
KITT: Dare we? Without sufficient reason?
Michael: Without sufficient reason' is the definition of hooky! Shall we, as they say, 'go for it?
KITT: Let's!

The clips are, of course, in german but you'll figure it out. (More after the jump)

Keonigsegg CCX Nürburgring lap

The third installment of the Nürburgring Supertest is now up at Supercarmovies.com.   After the Ferrari Enzo it's now time for the Koenigsegg to go after the lap record...  

The Swedish Supercar has a lot of show (and 914 hp) ...but does it go?

Supercars in Hell...

...the green hell that is.

Pardon the pun but this test runs rings around all others we have seen. This is how tests should be done: same time, same place, same driver, same amount of fuel and cars to factory spec. This is an Axis approved test.

Enzo Ferrari, Maserati MC12, Pagani Zonda R, Porsche Carrera GT and a Koeniggseg CCX, Supercar Movies and Black Falcon Performance really hit one out of the park.

The only improvement would be to have all the telemetry data available, perhaps in later episodes we will get that too. Below is the introduction and, after the jump, let's find out how the Enzo did on a timed lap around the Nürburgring.
(thank you Jay for the tip!)





Sorry but Supercarmovies.com objected to our direct use.... go see them on supercarmovies.com
Interesting about the shocks, whe we were at the Nürburgring, Dale Lomas told us the new M3 had similar issues, where dampners would overheat during the lap...

Can't wait for the next four episodes!
