A lot of people feel that hypercars are art. It’s not too hard of an argument, honestly. The latest technology, the best performance, bleeding edge design, hyper cars have it all. However, the recent Acura NSX cutaway sketch isn’t figuratively art, it’s literally art. You need to check it out. Most of the time, automobile art focuses on the outside of the vehicle, or perhaps an iconic scene involving a favorite car. The Acura NSX cutaway instead digs underneath the skin of this iconic hypercar, showing off what makes it tick. At first, the sketch seems little more than a flat pencil sketch, but as you start to take in the details, you’ll realize how much is really there. In this case, the Acura NSX sketch cuts away a hybrid. These are particularly tricky pieces of technology. They combine electric and gas engines to deliver top-notch performance and great gas mileage. Artist Shin Yoshikawa managed to deliver a refined sketch that captured the neat and gritty … [Read more...] about Acura NSX Pencil Cutaway Sketch Is Mind Blowing

C4 Corvette coupe into a convertible early Wednesday afternoon after the driver crashed into a tree, trapping him inside the vehicle. Firefighters removed both doors and the halo from the white 1995 Corvette to extricate the 24-year-old driver, who was trapped inside the car for about 25 minutes. The accident happened about 12:15 p.m. Wednesday in Shawnee, Kansas, in the 13600 block of Blackfish Parkway, just east of Park Street. The driver received an unintended thrill ride when he was headed west on Blackfish Parkway and lost control, skidding across the oncoming lane, jumping the curb, and skidding sideways through the grass before striking a tree with the driver’s door. Despite what was termed non-life-threatening injuries, the driver was carried by Johnson County Med-Act to Overland Park Regional Medical Center to get checked out. Police are accustomed to answering calls on this stretch of Blackfish Parkway, including a car that crashed into a house at Blackfish Parkway and … [Read more...] about [ACCIDENT] Firefighters Remove the Roof on a C4 Corvette to Free Man Injured in Crash
2019 BMW X7: As Big As A Cadillac Escalade, As Luxurious As A Rolls Royce
Consumers can’t seem to get enough crossovers and BMW has been happy to comply as the company already offers six different models. However, there was one thing missing from its lineup – a competitor to the Mercedes GLS. BMW is finally responding in the form of the 2019 X7. Larger and more luxurious than the redesigned X5, the production model closely echoes the X7 iPerformance concept which was introduced earlier this year. While the concept received a slightly chilly reception, BMW has high hopes for the production model as the company says it offers a unique blend of “presence, exclusivity and spaciousness.” It certainly has a commanding presence as the front fascia is dominated by a massive chrome grille which will likely prove to be controversial. Unsurprisingly, BMW says it the largest kidney grille ever fitted to one of their production models. Putting the grille aside, X7 features slender headlights which reside above massive air intakes that are … [Read more...] about 2019 BMW X7: As Big As A Cadillac Escalade, As Luxurious As A Rolls Royce
2019 BMW X7: Jesus Christ This Thing Is Huge
Clearly, BMW thought that our current crop of crossovers and SUVs were not large enough, so it made the 2019 X7 goddamn massive. This is it. Meet it. See it. Internalize it. Seating seven, BMW’s new land yacht will offer two models, the X7 xDrive40i and X7 xDrive50i, priced at $73,900 and $92,600 respectively. And it is huge, y’all. It is 203.3 inches long (about 17 feet), 78.7 inches wide (6.5 feet) and 71.1 inches tall (about six feet). On its front, it has what BMW claims is “the largest kidney grill ever designed for a BMW model.” I am not sure this is a good thing. To help back passengers get out more easily, the rear doors are longer than the front doors and it has 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Big windows apparently give the interior a very airy feel and the middle seats can be optioned as captain’s chairs. Engine options include a 4.4-liter V8 or a 3.0-liter inline-six, both mated to an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The V8 is rated … [Read more...] about 2019 BMW X7: Jesus Christ This Thing Is Huge
