Welcome Back: 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

Not possibly a good Driving Heaven but whatever...

Away from the clattering "dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig" sounds of hell and to the sounds of heaven, the old Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera returned on Forza Motorsport 4 and to avoid any confusion to the current Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera (a VIP only car), a true Forza player knows the difference between the old Superleggera and the current Superleggera, but still this is the kind of car you would love to drive if you want to find your own "Driving Heaven" on Forza Motorsport 4, much like when Jeremy Clarkson drove this one on the presenters' quest to find the world's greatest driving road, which is the Stelvio Pass.

However, this car is just like a game of Tetris; very dull, very boring, and most of all, it made me unhappy to drive the old Superleggera until my VIP membership payed off for having me taking behind the wheel of the LP570-4 Superleggera, which I'll be tackling next.

Today, the old Superleggera is a modern classic car because with over a hundred units ever made since production ended in 2008, making it a very rare vehicle to see one passing by, all of your life.

Now, the old Superleggera is listed as a Unicorn Car, a car that you can't get it through numerous reasons because you have to get it on promotional reasons. For instance, you have to take part of a special contests held at Forzamotorsport.net Forums such as the Official Forza Motorsport 4 Fantasy Livery Contest, Official Forza Motorsport 4 Race/Replica Livery Contest, or The Official Forza Motorsport 4 Photo Mode Competition. If your entry is chosen to be a Turn 10 Pick, you have much chances to win that car.

Forza 4 meets Audi ultra lightweight technology; The Audi R18 TDI

Outta my way, Peugeot! You're no longer belong at Le Mans!

Diesels are now the stalwarts of the 24 Hours of Le Mans because petrol can't keep up with today's happenings such as the environment, economy, and tensions from the Middle East. With the rivalrly between Peugeot and Audi are getting a bit hotter on Le Mans over the years, this is the kind of Audi LMP that trounced the Peugeot last year and therefore, Peugeot no longer being a part of the Le Mans 2012 season at Circuit de la Sarthe. What you're looking now is Audi ultra lightweight technology, the Audi R18 TDI.

Three kings of Sebring

Positioned as the stalwart of Forza Motorsport 4's February ALMS Pack, players got themselves the first time getting behind the wheel of the Audi R18 TDi, but to be specific, the Team Joest #2 Audi R18 which was driven by drivers Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoît Treluyer. The R18 TDi that stayed on to the very end of the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans season, getting it's first win and continues Audi's reign at Le Mans. Like the Peugeot 908 HDi, it's a diesel LMP so you might be expecting some clattering "dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig" sounds of hell but thanks to such lightweight technology, the R18 TDi is surprisingly lighter than the other Audi LMPs on the game, above all, it's lighter than the outgoing Peugeot 908 TDi, which we will no longer see it on the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans season.

A Le Mans Prototype that is as light as a buttercup

Under the bonnet, the 3.7L TDi engine with a single Garrett TR30R VGT turbocharger produces 540HP of power and 664lb-ft of torque. What we're realizing that the R18 TDi is not quite as powerful as the Audi LMPs in the past, and above all, not powerful enough than our absolute favorite LMP from the past, the rotary-powered Mazda 787B.

It can do 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds, that's about the same time as my absolute favorite supercar, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and flatout, it can do 207MPH, so there's gonna be some chase here. For stopping power, the Audi R18 TDi will halt from 100mph to nothing in 201ft.

Audi R18 TDi making "tambay" at the Top Gear studio

There is somewhat a familiar story about the R18 TDi because it was participated in other races such as the 1000km Spa round of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, Imola 6 Hours, Silverstone 6 Hours, Petit Le Mans, and China 6 Hours. Originally, the R18 TDi want to take part at the Sebring 12 Hours but due to development and logistics, the R18 wasn't take part at Sebring but instead, Audi used two Audi R15+ machines. It's a bit of a history lesson but doesn't matter. What matters is that we played with the R18 TDi on Forza Motorsport 4 and the Audi ultra lightweight technology makes it an ace of its sleeves against your rivals.

Welcome Back: 2006 Koenigsegg CCX

Koenigseggisseggggnignigsegigisegggg CCX interior

Close Call! I thought you may end up the same fate as Stig's!

The Koenigsegg CCX is definitely one of the most dangerous rides you would love to risk on this game. This car may have the longest name in the lap board (Koenigseggisseggggnignigsegigisegggg CCX) and this is the car The Stig has ever stuffed.

The Koenigsegg CCX comes with a body made of carbon fiber, a 4.7L twin-supercharged engine that produces 806HP, and a drag coefficient of a fish. Yep, Jeremy Clarkson said that and this was proven to be more addicting than smoking cigarettes. Because this car has no Traction Control, there's going to be a risk there. When The Stig lapped the CCX round the Top Gear Test Track in 1:20.4, Stig said that he can do faster than that, so he does it again and suddenly while he was at the Follow-Through, he manages to correct the steering but it doesn't have enough track for this car, resulting to a major accident.

Stig believed that if the CCX has a rear spoiler, it would corner well, and therefore, Koenigsegg got the memo and equipped the CCX with a rear spoiler, resulting a new record of 1:17.6, beating the Zonda F's lap time.

The CCX returned on Forza Motorsport 4 and it was one of the cars featured on the game's Autovista feature where you can learn some facts about the CCX or hear Jeremy Clarkson's commentary about the CCX. Be warned that the CCX is highly dangerous to drive for an unskilled player but if only someone who's as brave as The Stig should be wise to choose it.

Spotlight: 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z (Community Bounty Hunter -sinnermac-)

2003 Nissan Fairlady Z Community Bounty Hunter edition

What you're looking here is a 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z customized by FM4 player sinnermac. His design showcased the bounty hunters of Star Wars such as Jango Fett and Boba Fett. It was selected as the Bounty Hunter prize car for those who beat sinnermac's time at the "Compact Combat" Community Monthly Rival challenge. Those people who beaten sinnermac's time of "00:12.100" at that challenge got rewarded with the 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z modified by sinnermac. I beat sinnermac with a lap time of 00:11.967 using a 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTi with some modifications I bought from the storefront that says it can be faster than sinnermac's.

With the Community Bounty Hunter against sinnermac's Compact Combat lap time round and over, seems that I don't need the tuning setup I bought at the storefront and I decided to tune my Rabbit GTi by myself. But anyway, I'll surely keep sinnermac's Z33 with Star Wars Bounty Hunters design as a prize. I would gladly thank sinnermac for this challenge.

Anyone else who beat sinnermac got this?

Let's Do The News (March 3, 2012)

Time now for the news!

Let's begin with a very interesting one. You know that there are a few Formula One drivers defected to other motorsports. Juan Pablo Montoya used to be an F1 driver but now he's involved on NASCAR. Today, F1 driver Rubens Barrichello is defected to IndyCar, just like the other F1 graduates such as Nigel Mansell, Takuma Sato, Sebastien Bourdais, and Jean Alesi.

Good thing that Rubens Barrichello is finally retired from his F1 racing and moving on to the IndyCar, fighting alongside with IZOD IndyCar racer, Tony Kanaan, for KV Racing Technology for the 2012 IndyCar season.

Well, now that Rubens Barrichello is now an F1 graduate and moving on to IndyCar, let's check out something interesting....OH MY!

Chevrolet Volt

Because of poor sales, General Motors will stop production of the Chevrolet Volt PHV and the Opel Ampera for five weeks! Really? Why would they pause production of these PHVs? Oh wait, let me guess, General Motors need to maintain the right inventory levels and continue to meet demand, right? Looks like the Chevrolet Volt's having a hard sell eh? Too difficult to sell in the States...

Well, to put this misery, let's move to the next one and this will enlighten the hearts of many...
