A road legal Lola F1 racer is the perfect gift

If you ever needed (wanted) incentive to live in the U.K., this would be it: a street legal Formula 1 racecar by Lola is going to be auctioned off through Bonhams. Apparently the idea for a road legal F1 came about due to a bet amongst Lola engineers and took 15 years to come together. No word about whether it will make it over to the states, but we can always dream.

We found out about this little bit of news over at Autoweek. Here’s a snippet of what they have to say: “The build is based on a 1996 Lola chassis, which could be a leftover piece of Lola’s failed 1997 F1 project, and is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged Cosworth YB engine. For those unfamiliar with this engine stateside, you’d have likely seen it under the hood of a Ford Sierra RS Cosworth in the late 1980s.”

Nissan Versa vs. Tsuru crash test video

Nissan Versa vs. Tsuru crash test is the most horrifying thing we saw this Halloween

We found this awesome (but terrifying) video over at Autoweek. It is a crash test of a Nissan Versa and a Nissan Tsuru in a not-quite head-on collision.

The awesome part is, of course, watching the two cars crash into each other (with crash test dummies), but when you see how it ends for one of the crash test dummies, well, it’s rather terrifying to think if it had been a real person.

Autoweek says, “Global NCAP tested the "modern" 2015 Nissan Tsuru against the 2016 Nissan Sentra, pitting the least expensive Nissan sedan sold in Mexico against the least expensive Nissan sedan sold in the U.S. The results are, well, reflective of 25 years of progress in automotive safety technology”
