    Lada Reveals A Supercar Concept! Wait, What?

    Everyone's favorite communist-era carmaker and automotive laughing-stock on safety has just revealed a supercar concept here at the Paris Motor Show. Best part? It's called the Lada Revolution 3. Apparently the first two must have had something to do with forcing the Bolsheviks from power. Anyway, it's theoretically equipped with a Renault two-liter four cylinder able to make a 0-to-62 run in 5.9 seconds with a top end speed of 155 MPH. Stopping is done via two-piece 315 mm rotors and four-piston calipers. This would be the fastest Lada ever built, which begs a question. Would you really feel comfortable cruising Russia's roadways at 155 MPH in this Supercar? There's just something about a supercar with a Renault engine and the Lada name proudly emblazoned on the steering wheel that makes us shudder at the thought. Hold onto your buttskies, folks! Hit the jump to see how it would fit in with the rest of the Lada lineup.

It'll carry a new level of exclusivity, too. Why? When production starts in Illinois this fall, expect to pay nearly $60,000 for the privilege of owning one.

    The BMW M3 Takes You Through The V8 On A Real Fantastic Voyage In "Performance"

    As we've already shown you, the new BMW M3 is a hot bit of precision machinery. While it is essentially a modified 3-series, the real difference is the M3's 4.0-liter V8. Trouble is, nowadays you pop the hood and you're overwhelmed with all sorts of plastic and coated metal covers. So BMW decided the M3's V8 engine was deserved of a Fantastic Voyage of a trip on the inside of this magical metallic marvel of modern technology. That's right, this commercial isn't some newfangled computer-graphic simulation. This is good ol' fashioned footage— you know, shot with cameras. Special holes had to be precisely cut for the tiny cameras to peek through, and other holes for just the right amount of lighting. The end result is a masterfully-shot, slow-motion micro-documentary of the beautiful process known as internal combustion.
