The only reason I can think of showing you this is so that you can hear the absolutely fantastic noise this car makes!

Yes... What you just thought is right. It is completely breathtaking. The shape of the car is pure art. Who ever said that Ferrari is stupid is completely wrong. They have been the daddy of super-cars forever and now it looks as if they want to brawl with those people that called them stupid. I mean just look at those head-lights, they really do turn underwear brown.


Ferrari say that this is a whole new car, from whatever view point you want to go into. With its new F1 technology it is said that it is a "massive leap forward from the company’s previous mid-rear engined sports cars". Ferrari have so much confidence in this car that they named it after their homeland, Italy. It's a true metaphor for Italy.


This car is faster then the F430, better fuel consumption and even better handling then the F430. Now we did say in CAR talk that the F430 is the best driving machine of all time. If we had to look at this and go back, we might be wrong about that. The best driving machine might just be the 458 Italia... Hmm.


Once again Michael Schumacher is involved with the 458 Italia. Now like Michael, lets look at figures.


Engine - V8
Power - 425kW - 540Nm
Speed - 325km/h


It has a F1 double clutch 7-speed gearbox. Forged wheels and only the best materials. The car only weighs as much as a hair. Put all this together and the result is, 0-100km/h in 3.4s. You have this on the road and nothing and I mean nothing will catch you.


If you really want to know about this car then just look at the three exhausts.

See, three noise makers!

It is unbelievable! Thank you Ferrari.

People have been talking about it since its release, the new BMW 1 series. A swift 3 door Coupé. It's a recipe for success with people who love driving. The 135i has been the focus of the range because it is so fast and stylish. If you are one of the people like us who cannot get enough of this tiny little rocket, then there is fantastic news for you.

So you think your Friday office parties that close the office for the weekend are cool?

Well think again, just look at the video we came across.

Its a video of outside the Pagani office.


In the video we see them fool around with a Zonda F. Much better we think then e-mailing each other viruses.

I was sitting one day just after having my old fiat fixed AGAIN and thought about how much easier it will be to just sell it and buy myself a newer car. You see, new cars are annoyingly reliable. You never see them on the side of the road. Its always someone who's alone and stuck on the mountain with an old Uno. Wait actually that was me.

Become the CAR talk reader of the month and just answer this simple question.

What car is in our funky logo?

It took much thought and many cookies but we have finally made up our minds on what we think is the best car of the year.

It was tough as there are many fantastic cars and good value for money ones as well.

So the CAR talk car of 2010 is...

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG


For its Gull-wing-ness, absolute beauty and raw power. Its the perfect blend of what we want. So this car with its doors completely  fly to the top spot.
