A few weeks ago, we heard about an obscenely wealthy man who purchased two Aston Martin One-77s with the purpose of using one for his own driving pleasure and the other as an enormous art decoration in his house.

While we cringe at the mere thought of having a $2 millon-dollar supercar idly hanging on a wall and collecting dust, we do have a suggestion for our wealthy friend and opt instead for this DRIVE IN wall art that’s being sold by a company called JELLIO for a ‘paltry’ $2,500.

So what if it’s not a car? It’s actually a pretty cool concept, which takes those plastic car kits of yesteryear and supersizes them to become a limited-edition 44” x 44” sculpture.

The limited edition sculpture even pays homage to the chrome heavy hot roads that were prevalent back in the 1950’s, which pretty much guarantees it a ton of attention by itself.

Don’t get us wrong; an Aston Martin One-77 that’s hanging on a wall is guaranteed to be the center-of-attention. But we’re afraid that not everybody will appreciate that work of art, especially if they see themselves sitting behind the wheel one.

On the surface, the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide looks to be set on an even playing field. But if you dig deeper behind the differences between the two, you’ll realize that the Panamera is just about a notch out of reach for the Rapide in some pretty critical performance elements – speed, power, and torque to name a few.

Autoblog knows that a heads-up race between the two cars wouldn’t even be competitive so they decided to set a handicap. Whereas only one person will be on-board the Rapide, the Panamera will have four people inside of it, with the hopes that the added weight on the Panamera would be a fair compromise for the Rapide.

So they set out to do two separate time tests for both cars – one person on board the Rapide and four people riding the Panamera. Sounds like a fair fight, right?

Turns out, the added bulk in the Panamera didn’t make a difference.

The Porsche luxury sports car easily beat the Rapide’s time in the 0-60mph time, the 0-100mph time, and the 0-100-0mph time. And it did so pretty convincingly.

The Panamera scored times of 4.6 seconds (0-60), 10.6 seconds (0-100), and 15.8 seconds (0-100-0), besting the Rapide across the board, whose times of 5.6 seconds (0-60), 12.2 (0-100), and 17.6 (0-100-0) was far less competitive than we initially thought, especially the pretty significant handicap the Panamera was given.

It’s pretty much been common knowledge to a lot of folks that the new Chevrolet Camaro has become quite a popular item for General Motors re-launched the brand last year, but we had no idea that it had become THIS popular.

According to Camaro5, the Camaro recently reached a historic milestone after the GM’s Oshawa assembly plant rolled out the 100,000th Camaro. Fittingly enough, the historic Camaro was an Inferno Orange Metallic SS.
The feat is even more remarkable considering that the Camaro reached 100,000 units in less than a year’s time – if you wanted to be anal about it, the first Camaro was rolled out on March 16th of last year.

If you round out the average, that’s about 282 Camaro’s being rolled out every day!

Remarkable; to say the least.
