Jay Leno reviews Porsche 918 RSR Concept at Porsche Zentrum at The Quail
Jay Leno at the Porsche Zentrum at the Quail 0n Friday August 19th, 2011 during Monterey Auto Week. The 918 RSR concept was the highlight of the Porsche Zentrum display on Friday and Saturday, August 19-20.
The 918 RSR concept is a high-end synthesis of Porsche's successful hybrid concepts -- the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 918 Spyder.
It is a true 'racing laboratory' featuring an updated V8 engine from the successful RS Spyder race car with an output of 563 hp at 10,300 rpm. In addition, it features electric motors on the two front wheels that each contribute 75 kW, i.e. a total of 150 kW, to provide peak drive power of 767 hp. This additional power, which is generated during braking, is stored in an optimized flywheel accumulator.

Porsche 918 Spyder: a Ride In Porsche's Hybrid Hypercar - CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
Porsche was testing the 918 at the Nurburgring, they invited us to take a quick ride on the road, not on the track sadly. I normally hate these shotgun features, unless they involve Group B cars, but the 918 needs some understanding.

First Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Crash In Italy (New Pictures) | August 2011
A new Lamborghini crash.
-Info-
A few weeks ago the world heard about the very first Lamborghini Aventador crash, which was wrecked by Austrian journalists at Autorevue.at. The white press car was used by Top Gear to do their road test of the Italian bull. The magazine stated:
"We are not proud of it, but we crashed the first ever Lamborghini Aventador. Austrian Bestseller-Author Thomas Glavinic, who is writing for our sportscar-issue was driving the Lamborghini Aventador. We were heading towards Adria Raceway, a racetrack in Italy. Then the crash happened. Thomas was not too fast. A truck, which changed the lines, just hit him."
The Aventador ended up in a ditch next to a rural road in the province of Padua. The Aventador suffered some serious damage to the front wheels in the crash but the carbon fiber monocoque stayed completely intact.
