Watch Chris Harris drive the Ferrari 458 Spider like an idiot
Watch Chris Harris drive the Ferrari 458 Spider like an "idiot"Chris Harris gets to abuse his fair share of cars that we can only dream about driving, so why not add the Ferrari 458 Spider to that list. After somehow borrowing the keys to a Ferrari-owned 458 Spider, Harris spends about five minutes driving the 570-horsepower, open-air supercar like an "idiot" (his words, not ours).

In reality, its impressive to watch the $257,000 (base price) 458 Spider being drifted and pushed hard into every turn. Not surprisingly, the car handles the "bad behavior" very well, but what is amazing is how easy it is for Harris to talk to the camera despite the top being down and the engine being at full throttle almost the entire time.

Porsche 911 cuts through the wind like Gemballa GT
The newest addition to the product range of the Gemballa Gemballa GT package for the Porsche 991. The impact? It defies the looks of course, though it asserts that the Gemballa aerodynamic sports package also the driving performance of the 991 significantly improves. The remmerij Brembo plus stiffer while 30 mm lower sports springs do that probably.
A sports exhaust system with six tailpipes, a reference to the famous Avalanche from the 80s, should provide additional experience especially during acceleration. Faster than the factory-instances is 911 with Gemballa GT package otherwise not. The six-cylinder boxer is left untouched.
price
Like the visual Gemballa GT package what? Then € 19.860, - to the bank account of the tuner. A nice sum, but all the body panels are also made of carbon fiber. Moreover, the painting and installation at the asking price included.

Acura ILX headed for Civic like early upgrades
Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesnt offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim dont really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings – our first drive review pegged it as "the worlds nicest Honda Civic."

The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year.
Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades
Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Hondas luxury brand isnt meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.

An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isnt clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says its on the way out, the company hasnt yet said how that situation will be corrected.
