Maserati GranTurismo S unable to outrun a Nissan NV200 on the KJE

TL;DR – A Nissan NV200 and a Maserati GranTurismo S were caught on camera racing one another along the KJE. However, the race did not go as one would have expected.

The Maserati GranTurismo S is a beautiful car.

It’s a 4.7L car housing a V8 engine that pushes 400+ horsepower.

We’re talking 0 to 100km/hr in about 4 seconds!

But yet, in this 47-second video, you can see how it loses to a Nissan NV200 (a van).

What happened?

The first thing that comes to mind after watching the video is a quote from Vin Diesel in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise.

The video starts as how you would expect it to go.

The GranTurismo speeds ahead of the NV200.

But the forward thinking NV200 driver takes advantage of an empty pocket of space on the first lane and barrels forward.

Meanwhile, the GranTurismo got stuck behind slower vehicles on the left.

I think it's taken out of context. There's traffic or cars all around. How to drive fast? Did the van get a trophy? Does it make the van driver a cham? Then it is all about a moment of ego satisfaction. Song meh?

More importantly is usually not how fast you can drive but how fast you take to stop!…

I think otherwise though...me think the maser was planning to exit in any case...conventionally sedan cars would always intuitively chiong rightmost lane but he didnt...

Come on...the driver of the maser had absolutely no need to prove himself in front of this van driver..

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 2

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity

    We happy few, we Band of Brothers

    It is safe to say that one way or another, the majority of Singaporean men have served their country. Be it sleeping in the jungles of Mandai, walking the beat on the streets of Clarke Quay on New Year’s Eve, or putting out fires (literally) clad in heavy protective gear, most local and naturalised male citizens have given up, as the song goes, “two years of our time”. But many have differing views of National Service. Some see it as a hindrance, a waste of time. Some see it as an opportuni

    Armored MMA

    Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a brutal sport that, in recent decades, has grown to significant prominence.  Whatever you make of the sport (and the often complicated and sometimes problematic climate that swirls around it), there's no denying its popularity, driven in large part by the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) brand - a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise.  But if partially-clothed men/women beating the s*it out of each other is not quite your thing, may I interest you in
