Zonda R – The Evo is much more than just fast, it is excitingly fast and for that reason we would recommend not getting it onto the streets. Take it somewhere that can handle pace. A bespoke built V12 by AMG giving out 750 hp is the prime culprit for such menacing speeds.

But it been some time and we were hoping to see another version, a faster version of the car. Pagani hasn’t exactly come up with a new version of the car, but with slight changes in the aerodynamics, improvements in weight

Trekking can be gruesome sometimes, mainly because you may have to walk too many miles. What you can do is take a bicycle and ride it when you can and then carry it when you cannot. What am I, drunk? How is it even remotely possible to carry a bicycle while trekking? Well the thing is you guys are less informed and less geeky. 

Do we have a red carpet for engines, where once in a year they arrive in awesome cars and then walk down the aisle and at last the best of them is given an award for being the best? Obviously having something exactly like this is most certainly impossible, but yet we can have an Engine of the year award.

As I say it, I would love to let you know that Ford’s 1.0-liter Ecoboost unit has been named 2012 International Engine of the Year,  the “Best New Engine” and “Best Engine Under 1.0-litre”.

This is not the first time and since we know her too well, we know this won’t be the last time. A car accident is what I am talking about and Lindsay Lohan is related to it.
