Car Crash: Ferrari F430 Horror Accident at Spa Francorchamps

 

 
By: GTspirit

A brutal Ferrari F430 accident happened last night when a Ferrari F430 lost control on the E42 motorway at high speed. The Ferrari slammed into a lamp post, hit the central reservation and split into two pieces up to the cockpit. It’s one of the worst accidents we’ve seen recently and unfortunately, both driver and passenger died.

The accident happened at around 9pm last night between Francorchamps and Sart. The occupants were probably leaving Spa Francorchamps after a day of racing. We’re told that the fifteen year old passenger was the son of the driver’s colleague who asked for a ride at the Formula 1 qualifying event yesterday. The driver was a 63-year-old man from Saint-Ghislain

Classic Vintage Cars vs Modern Cars



The Classical E30 325is BMW



The ultimate Modern sensational Volkswagen Golf R





















 We love classic cars and modern cars!!! So much time, money and effort goes into making exotic cars look amazing and as elegant as possible is an understatement. Take for an example an original and pretty 1987 BMW E30 325is. It’s unique to South Africans and to undergo a full restoration this one is destined for the young at heart and all the petrol-heads out there.
As any classic car enthusiast will certainly testify, there are certain advantages in owning a classic car. What I have realized about today’s 21st century modern cars is that there have been  regarded as special as a new born babies, due to their fragile body exterior and engines which are now built in aluminium and consumes huge amount of fuel than vintage cars.
“Modern cars have lost their identity in-terms of workmanship when it comes to material design compared to vintage cars, modern cars design has dropped drastically due to changes of interior and exterior design they are not using that sophisticated leather which was used in the vintage cars, modern cars have started using unglamorous or should I say “cheap” leather for their cars” says Sibongiseni Masinga.
 This has made these cars less glamorous one can understand why classic car enthusiasts believe that older cars are more reliable than more modern models. Compared to newer cars, classic machines were much more simplistic in the design of their engines. The 1972 W116 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW E30 3-Series, Volvo P1800 and the 1987 Toyota Corolla E90,just to name a few were widely considered as very reliable cars. Without this addition, the car was easier -- and less problematic -- to drive. What's more, the car was extremely easy for the average person to repair, which isn't something that many can say about modern cars. Of course, not every car in the 1960s was as easy to fix as a Beetle, but was much convenient and reliable to use in those days.


When it comes to old cars, known as Vintages cars or Classical cars if I might add, they make a popular choice for cars lovers. To a true classical car lover, there’s nothing like a Vintage car...

Two of my friends Sibongiseni Masinga (22) and Mbuso Nhlapo (21) they emphasise on vintage cars and modern cars were totally different but had similar perceptive views on the way cars have differed due to modern technology.  One thing that drew my attention was when Mbuso said people at the ages of 50 or 60 years regard classical automatic cars as favourable friend any person can have in the world due to comfort and its easy use. For Classic car aficionados who restore their own cars, or do some or most of the work, get to know the car and how it runs. They recognize a problem before it escalates and understand what their car is doing and why. Odd sounds or difficult handling will send recognizable signals to the owner; comparing it to modern it can be a bit difficult in recognise a problem when it occurs,because cars of these days cannot be easy to figure out when it has a problem and most modern cars were not meant to last for a long period of time, a typical example if you get an accident  depending how bad your car incident was, chances of you repairing your car meaning painting, panel beating will cost you an arm and a leg, vehicle repairing is pretty much expensive these daysand your vehicle will have to be fixed on a daily basis, unlike having a vintage/classic car parts are easy to find and to repair the vehicle. Classic cars, restored and functioning, appreciate in value. Whether the car is purchased as an investment or as a ride, the increase in value is always welcome.

See 63 Reasons, without Performance ‘Be a Problem

More Noise, Power and Handling true definition of Muscular power a V8 tuned with a progressive 386Kw and 612Nm.

The first thing that comes to mind when looking at this Beauty, with a Beastly engine is Pooweeer, Pandemonium and of course agility. The C63 AMG Coupe Black Series (CBS) if I should call it, shares the same specifications as its Big Bro the SLS AMG. At 385Kw, it produces 45Kw more than the normally aspired C63 AMG and its 34Kw fewer than the gullwing.
The Coupe Black series and the SLS AMG have that 6.2litre V8, so this means the AMG engineers plundered the SLS’s M159 and crammed it in the M156 engine, Wow!!! With an enlarged oil cooler, bigger pistons, condors and crankshaft. The Black Series has a sensible agility to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 4.2 seconds. It’s still uses the MCT AMG seven-speed transmission from the standard C63 AMG. According to the brochure the CBS has four modes none of which includes an economy Stop/Start function and a Race Start button, and it’s claimed to change gears as fast as the Ferrari FXX. That’s impressive.
A black-on-black interior with added carbon-fibre trims embossed with an AMG logo. AMG pedals are stainless steel with rubber studs, fitted with a 17.8cm TFT screen which you can programme lap races, when you so eager for one. The C63 AMG Coupe Black Series has added red seatbelts and stitched up the seats and steering-wheel in red to compliment the Red Furious exterior and all of this comes as standard.
