Arctic Circle or Bust in a Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG!

On this episode of Epic Drives, Jonny Lieberman and Justin Bell take the Twin-Turbo V12 G65 AMG on a mischievous trip through the lands of Sweden as they make their way to AMG's Winter Driving Academy and the Arctic Circle! Along the way they stumble across a fashion show in Stockholm, visit the 40 foot tall Gavle Goat and drift an SLK on a frozen lake. Will the G65 prove to be a capable vessel or will it leave them buried and stranded in sub-zero temperatures?

Murray Walker, Martin Brundle Double-Seater McLaren at Silverstone

A seat in a Formula One car, while incredibly desirable (and lucrative), is a cosy, but not particularly luxurious or comfortable place. Murray Walker’s seat in this double-seater McLaren Formula One car looks like it takes that to the nth degree.

Somehow they managed to cram the pair of Formula One personalities into a late ’90s McLaren F1 car for this video, and then head out for a few laps of Silverstone.

The pair chat about preparing for the drive, give a blow-by-blow commentary of the drive and enthuse about a brilliant day on the track. Fun stuff.

New 616bhp Bentley Continental Flying Spur to Touch Down at Geneva

Bentley has revealed details of the second-generation Continental Flying Spur ahead of the car's debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Revisions centre on a big hike in power, as well as improvements in styling and refinement.

Using the familiar 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12, the new Flying Spur produces 616bhp and 580lb ft of torque: a healthy boost over the previous generation’s 552bhp and 479lb ft. It also benefits from a 50kg reduction in weight (achieved by the use of stronger, lighter materials which also bolster chassis rigidity), promising to help the new Bentley cover ground that much quicker.
Few doubted the MK I Flying Spur’s performance - it was a perceived lack of refinement that was of concern to many. But Bentley insists that such issues have now been fully addressed. Along with a stronger chassis (supposedly better at absorbing noise and vibration), the sound-deadening has been completely overhauled, with new acoustic glass and under-floor panels, door seals and exhaust mufflers.

Ride comfort is now better, with new (apparently quieter) tyres and softer suspension settings combining to create the typical, mile-swallowing capabilty owners expect of a Bentley. Two 10-inch screens (paired with the on-board WiFi connection) allow rear passengers to continue working on longer journeys. Whether you’d want to is another matter.
Despite cocooning its occupants in a ‘softer’ manner, the styling has become sharper. Clear-cut feature lines, muscular rear haunches, a lower roofline and a more upright grille give the Flying Spur a more aggressive stance, while the rear lights appear to be a development of those seen on the EXP 9 F SUV concept last year.
