Gilles Panizzi was leading the 2002 WRC Rally Catalunya by a 45 seconds. Much to the surprise of the spectators, as well as his bewildered co-driver, he decided to do some donuts in the middle of a stage.

good man - i know it would be hard not to take yourself too seriously when you're at the pinnacle of competition such as this... however, that he put that aside and took the time to put on a good show for the crowd, earns a few points in my book.

Love this thing, a Volvo Amazon with some extra extras.

Crummy quality, but makes the point.

Another outrageous Volvo is Volvette, a 740 wagon with a twin turbo LS1 from a vette.

Monaco GP reveal planned for McLaren P12

The rendering above is not official, but is probably around the mark. The P12 is far more extreme than the 12C and has been designed by Frank Stephenson. Oddly enough he’s the bloke that gave us the new MINI a bit over a decade ago. Stephenson was also involved in the creation of the 12C, of course.

It’s expected McLaren will use the 3.8 litre V8 from the 12C and find another 200hp to bring peak power to around 800hp. Factor in the target weight of around 1140kg and you get a power to weight ratio of “holy crap!”
