We’re not far away from kicking off a new week of Speedhunting, which means it’s time to take a quick look back at a few of the videos we’ve been watching over the past seven days.
We don’t need to tell you why Back To The Future was filling up social media feeds last week, but we can’t go without sharing at least one DeLorean-related clip…
MARTY is the name given to a very unique DMC-12 dreamed up by engineers at Stanford University. No, it doesn’t fly, but what this DeLorean does do is embrace present-day technology, specifically electric-power and self-drive. Oh, and it drifts by itself too!
Next up, we’re in Jay Leno’s Garage to check an ultra-rare machine from the ’70s – a Mercedes-Benz C111. This prototype model, of which only a handful were ever made, was primarily used for R&D purposes, and early on in its development used 3-rotor and 4-rotor Wankel engines. This recently-restored C111-II example from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center might be powered by a 3.5L V8 (again, for testing in period), but it’s absolutely amazing nonetheless.
During the week, Paddy brought us coverage from the final round of the 2015 Extreme Drift Allstars championship held at the MotoArena Toruń stadium in Podium. There’s some amazing drift talent in Europe, and you’ll see plenty of that in the official Drift Allstars video of the event.
Finally we have the second instalment in the Z Dream build: Episode 2: Rebirth. This time, Sung and the guys visit Signature Autobody where their S30 has arrived for body work after being seam-stitched and caged at GReddy. Look out for a sneak peak of the engine and the Datsun’s Rocket Bunny aero kit…
