Death Race Plus Mario Kart Better Than Death Race

Matt Hardigree — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:00:00 EDT

The new Death Race isn't great, awesome replicas aside, but it makes a great Mario Kart mashup. Thankfully, there are no blue shells. [Kotaku] More »

What Car Would You Death Race?

Matt Hardigree — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:40:00 EDT

Though we have no way of verifying whether or not Death Race will be as competent a remake as The Italian Job or as horrible a reinvention as Blues Brothers 2000, the idea of racing cars to the death certainly appeals to us in a fictional sort of way. Looking at the cars of Death Race and the production stills, it's clear the movie has a novel mix of cars we'd consider. The trick is the vehicle has to be both destruction-worthy and fast enough to finish a race. What car would you choose? More »

Death Race Your Ride: Goofy, Yet Somehow Entertaining

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:40:00 EDT

With the upcoming Death Race movie the re-make on the tips of everyone's tongues these days (yeah right, you did see "The Dark Knight" didn't you?), the good folks at Universal decided to add a "Death Race Your Ride" feature to their website. You can pick from a number of canned cars OR you can upload photos of your own ride and add Death Race equipment. Heavy armor, weapons, decals, wheels, and battle damage are your paint, and Deathrace.net is your paintbrush. The old Audi somehow just isn't that intimidating compared to the big bad Ford Mustang. Great idea, right? It'd be like a personal "Jalopnik My Ride" p-shop feature if it weren't clunky as hell to use. A+ on the idea, F- on the implementation. [Death Race My Ride] More »

Death Race One Sheet Revealed, Shows Off More Of That Mean-Looking Buick

Death Race Trailer, Revealed!

Ray Wert — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:11:21 EDT

A week after we showed you our exclusive first look at the cars of Death Race, the new movie starring Jason Statham to be released by Universal later this summer, we've now got the first trailer for Death Race. What can we say? Well, it's intense and in it we learn the first rule of the Death Race — you never drive backwards. Unless you're Statham and you're driving a Mustang — and I'd have to say the 'stang (called Frankenstein's Monster) looks seriously cool. Really, this should have been what the made the new KR look like. It makes every other Mustang variant look like a girlie car. Whatever, we're going to stop talking now and just let you watch the video above and then check out the gallery of vehicles again below. More »

The Cars Of Death Race

Ray Wert — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 03:00:00 EDT

UPDATE:We've now got the first Death Race trailer! Almost a year ago, I had the opportunity to head out to Montreal and go behind the scenes of the new re-visioned movie "Death Race" starring Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson, Ian McShane and yes, Joan Allen. Whereas the names of the characters they play may be the same, the storyline's anything but — this time the "Death Race" is set in what we'd been told was an "economic" prison sometime in the not-so-distant dystopian future. But we'll throw down more of that later. The really cool part was getting a first-hand look at some of the metal made into prison inmates very own PCH cars — and there's some really cool stuff to be seen. So without further ado, below the jump are the ten vehicles at the center of the new Paul W.S. Anderson-directed flick coming to a theater near you August 22nd, 2008 — along with all the details on the add-ons that make them "special" plus, because you're so good, a whole mess-load of screenshots. Enjoy and remember, small children are only worth more points because they're harder to hit.

First Official Death Race Screen Shot Features an Intense-Looking Jason Statham

Ray Wert — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 08:05:00 EST

So Universal's creating a re-make of the classic schlock-camp 70's futuregasm Death Race 2000, starring the always-willing-to-Transport Jason Statham and now they've released the first official screen shot of the action star in his broke n' busted but rebuilt whip. We've included the official synopsis below the jump and while one of us already knows the answer to the following question but since his information's embargoed — we'll see if y'all can guess it. Anyone know what car Statham's "Frankenstein" is driving? More »

Tokyo Motor Show: Hyundai QarmaQ Crossover Concept, Again

Ray Wert — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:30:00 EDT

If you'll remember from its original unveil at Geneva, this sporty little crossover coupe is the QarmaQ, Hyundai's concept designed to showcase environmentally progressive technologies, such as the Korean company's "Elastic Front." That's a pedestrian collision solution Hyundai hopes if implemented, can reduce the risk of turning a drive through the Shibuya crosswalk into a re-make of Death Race 2000. Remember, you get bonus points for maiming now, not killing. More »
