Evo Director, Harry Matcalfe takes a ride in the latest upcoming Porsche supercar, the 918 Spyder. The 918 Spyder is the ultimate Porsche supercar since the Carrera GT almost ten years ago. You might therefore be quite surprised that it's a hybrid!
Yup that's right the 918 Spyder is a powered by a hybrid engine. Don't for a second think this has anything in common with the likes of the dreadful Prius. The engine itself has been re-rated at 585 horsepower and then for a little bit extra "oomph", two electric motors bump the power up to around 795 horsepower. That's serious power for relatively light-weight, little supercar.
Check out the video below for yourself.

Bond Chasing Bond in this 007 Trailer
A Bond film just wouldn't be a Bond film without a good car chase. With twenty two films to date and a new film, Skyfall, coming later this year, Sky TV has launched a promo to advertise its upcoming 007 marathon.
The trailer features every single James Bond character to date, from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig. The video has been cut up to make it look as if the different Bond characters are chasing each other. Watch carefully and you'll spot the Aston Martin DBS, DB 5 , Lotus Espirit and the Sunbeam Alpine.
It's a must-watch for any Bond fan out there, young or old!

6 Busted! Burnouts
Autoshows attract a lot of car enthusiasts - and cops. There were tons of great burnouts at last years Bimmerfest, so this year, the police were out in full force. That obviously didn't stop this idiot from lighting it up right in front of one.
Maybe it's something about BMW drivers that urges them to do burnouts whenever, wherever. Maybe by doing a burnout they think that their 2liter BMW four-door is actually a brand new V8 M3. Whatever, this idiot didn't even bother to look around, because if he did, he would have seen the cop car that was watching him all along.
While money can buy you a Ferrari, it most certainly can't buy you any common sense. Ferrari's can cause a stir on the roads and attract a lot of attention. You'd think that knowing that, if you drove one around, you'd be a little bit careful. This idiot obviously didn't think so.
Fully sick Honda burnout in the parking lot bro! Look at how cool this idiot thought he was, burning rubber in front of his mates, in a lit up carpark. Bet the cop didn't think he looked that cool.
So you got yourself a Mustang huh? What better way than to show off the power of your muscle car than a big, smokey burnout right? Well this idiot thought that was a good idea. The Houston Police that arrested him, didn't agree.
This is the icing on the cake. This idiot was driving around the streets of Perth in Australia for a good five minutes, casually doing burnouts on the way. The driver was so clueless, he even let's his passenger get out for a little wee. What he didn't know was that a Police helicopter was watching his antics from above and lead the Police right outside his doorstep.

3 Terrible Teen Drivers Caught On Video
Don't give these teens your car keys!
There's a reason why insurance companies hate teenage boys. It boils down to one thing really, they like to go fast. A lot of teenage boys think they are the next Michael Schumacher behind the wheel of their Honda City 1.4, which in their mind is of course, a fire-spitting supercar. Unfortunately, that often isn't the case and a lot of them find out the hard way. These videos are all on the funny side. Noone, but the wallet gets hurt in these clips.
You don't always need to be driving the car to damage it. Teenage boys always find amusing new ways to entertain themselves. Like crashing their dad's bikes into their dad's cars.
The majority of teenagers lack the skills and experience to tame powerful cars. So what happen's when a 19 year old borrows his dad's 400 horsepower V8 BMW M3?
Joey's crash has almost 4 million hits on Youtube. The video is a reminder to parents who thought it was a good idea to give their 14 year old son the keys to a brand new Ford Mustang Eleanor.

Corvette vs Electric Skateboard Drag Race
The C5 Vette lines up the Granboard Trail Rider in a 75 foot drag race. The motorized skateboard packs four 850-watt electric motors which produce as much as 4.5 horsepower. Requiring only two hours to charge a full battery, the Trail Rider can hit 0-28mph in 1.9 seconds and travel a range up to 15 miles.
The Corvette on the other hand, packs a 5.7 liter V8 with 350 horsepower and can do the 0-60mph sprint in 4.7 seconds. Check out the outcome in the video below.

Ralf Schumacher takes out an entire pit-crew at DTM practice
Michael Schumacher's younger brother has left four pit crew members injured after clipping an air hose on his way out of the pits. Amazingly, the whole thing was caught on camera.
The accident occured during a DTM practice in Zandvoort. Four pitcrew members were hospitalized, but luckily did not sustain any serious injuries. By now all four pit crew members will be safe and sound. Possibly in bed sipping on some hot chocolate or getting ready for the next DTM race.
