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..

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    When suppressed feelings arise

    "Don't keep it bottled up inside" is a saying many of us are familiar with. By now, most of us are aware that ignoring your emotions is an unhealthy practice. Yet many of us do it anyway. I don't think I'm particularly stoic, but as I get older, I've realised that I do tend to not express how I'm feeling, and that this practice has led to anxiety. One example of this happened just a few weeks ago. Prior to this year's Motor Show, I had trouble sleeping. I would keep waking up with my m

Also known as Shutoko Battle in Japan, this is a series of racing games by Genki, a Japanese game company that was founded in 1990. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 is one of the most popular game in the series as it features many cars, opponents and an extensive map For those that have never heard of these games, I'll give you a quick run-down.
