Why do we tune cars?
Tuning or modifying cars is a costly and time-consuming process that can bring joy, excitement, high blood pressure and bankruptcy to those that do it. Messing around with what car manufacturers spend a ton of money ‘perfecting’ is clearly a risky manoeuvre – so why do so many of us do it?
Well, I’ve built several high spec project cars over the years, so I’m now going to attempt to explain why I think modifiers modify. I believe the basic reasons are there for everyone – make it faster; cooler; individual – but there are also personal reasons why so many of us take a reasonable car and make it more expensive to own, service and insure. And don’t even dare add up the money you spend!
Video heaven from the Audi R8 V10 plus
I’ll eat my Davy Crockett hat if you don’t play this Audi R8 V10 plus dyno video at least three times.
It’s short, very sweet and burrows deep into a petrolhead’s pleasure cortex – or whatever that bit of your brain is that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Aston Martin marks 100 years with a carbon fibre V12 blast to the past
It must be quite difficult for the Aston Martin designers to come up with exciting concept cars when the brand already makes and sells one of the most alluring, concept-like sportscars ever to turn a wheel; the heart-breaking one-77.
So, when the design team at the Aston HQ in Gaydon were tasked with coming up with something sweet for Aston’s centenary, rather than taking on the future-perfect silhouette of one-77, they went for a blast to the past instead, in the slippery 60s-style shape of this new CC100 Speedster Concept. And while the CC100’s exterior may look a little old school, rest assured that under that lengthy carbon hood is a traditionally-modern big V12 engine…
Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid supercar defies weight with clever tech and serious shove
Colin Chapman, the famed Lotus engineer of old, would design his cars using his now well-oiled mantra: Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere. Wise words indeed and a formula that continues to work well for those little Lotus and Caterham nippers still on sale today. But…

Mercedes 300slr has swing axles, just like a lot of other 1950's/1960's car's. Perhaps that what caught out a younger driver who's unaware of the consequences of lifting off the throttle at speed on a corner?

'Put it on a pedestal'
Way off the mark there. You were obviously WAY out your depth!! These cars were made to drive and be driven hard, they are still raced today and still take a hammering, all in their stride.
There is no other classic of its age that can take the abuse a 300SL takes, phenominal cars and probably the best of all time.
Jaguar and Ferrari were using race bred technology in their cars, Mercedes took the engine/gearbox and driveline from their saloon car, took on the world and trounced them all!!
Only Mercedes could do that!!

If the paint shop knew their stuff then the shade would be blended in to match the shade of the rest of the car.

Reference rolling a Gullwing.
It didn't happen to me but I tried driving one over 30 years ago and found it a terrifying experience. The steering, brakes and tyres of the mid-50s could not cope and being cooped up in the cabin with pedals so close together and heaving the massive steering wheel about inches from your face with all the noise and rattles did not thrill me at all.
Still a great looking car; polish it up and put it on a pedestal. Maybe glide it around a smooth track, but stay off public roads.
