We brought you first-hand photos of the cars of Death Race, as well as the first Death Race trailer. Now we've got more production stills than you can shake an armored Mustang at. These new photos add more details, including a look at a scarred-up Tyrese, a serious-looking Jason Statham, a strutting Joan Allen, a masked man and lots of flame throwing action.

Death Race Your Ride: Goofy, Yet Somehow Entertaining
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]

Death Race Trailer, Revealed!
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.

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.

While we knew going in the Death Race "trailer" we posted earlier wasn't the real thing, our sources tell us like the Jason Statham screen shot we showed you last week, the video we've got up above is absolutely the real thing. It's some behind-the-scenes video from the new Death Race movie. That vehicle you see running through an industrial wasteland (that appears to look a great deal like a prison) is something called the "Dreadnought" and we're told it's up to no good in the Race all about the Death. Embargoes threatening our own "Death" prevent us from saying anything more. No need for us to give Universal Studios a free 40 points at our expense.

Here, we have the actual Death Race trailer. Hit that link for the real Statham-hotness. We can't tell if this is the result of rampant fanboyism, or the beginnings of a painfully long viral marketing campaign, but something teaserish has surfaced for the new movie "re-imagination" Death Race. We ain't saying' nothin' as to it's authenticity - it could be a mashup of an anti speeding campaign, could be impressive indie work, or it could be the real thing, but it is creepy. It also makes us want to know how many points that would have been worth.

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?

Tokyo Motor Show: Hyundai QarmaQ Crossover Concept, Again
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 »
