The GT-R gets a 530-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, improved aerodynamics and a new front end with LED running lights. Upgrade to the Black Edition for 6-spoke wheels and red-trimmed Recaro seats.
The crew stage a robbery, then try to escape from the cops in a Rolls-Royce Ghost and a Mercedes S65 AMG through the Albanian mountains. Switchbacks frazzle, but the straights are pure win.
Final Gear forum members have been having a hell of a time editing pictures of cars (and then some). The rule is simple – invert the upper half of the vehicle. Some of the results almost seem okay.
Interesting video of the Monocycle, a unique 225 hp gas powered monowheel from inventor Kerry McLean; the acceleration and braking is similar to an airplane’s takeoff and landing. (Thanks Rick!)
