BMW M4, Toyota Supra And Audi Racing In Front Of Cop Manage To Get Away

  • California Highway Patrol spotted street racers actively speeding and racing on a busy highway.
  • After observing a pair and then a trio race one another, the officer decided to give chase.
  • He skipped the two that had slowed down and chased a BMW M4, but failed to catch up.

Some police officers will fish to find something worth ticketing a driver for. Others will patiently wait for a suspect to commit an infraction before trying to ticket them. In the video below, a California Highway Patrol cop does the latter and finds out fast that it’s hard to catch some racers.

It’s unclear how the officer in question found these racers on I-5 in California, but our video starts with him catching up to a pair of cars, a Toyota Supra and a BMW M4. The officer rolls up behind the pair while he’s in lane three of four. The two take off and the officer watches and moves over into lane two.

The two racers slow down and the officer slowly reels them in but clearly, they don’t know, or don’t care, that CHP is behind them. Moments after the officer gets relatively close, they rocket away again. This cycle repeats one more time but in the third instance, a third car, what appears to be an Audi of some sort, pops up to play with the BMW and Toyota.

This time, the trio takes off and the CHP officer waits perhaps a bit too long to throw on his lights and give chase. Interestingly, the car racing in the far right lane slows down and so does the Toyota Supra. For some reason, the CHP officer skips both of them and pursues the BMW.

For the next few minutes, the officer and his partner in the car relay what they can see of the M4 to dispatch. Despite that, none of it makes an impact in terms of actually stopping the car. They race into the area around Disneyland and then away from it without confirming the sight of the car. Ultimately, they decide to discontinue the pursuit due to the risk it presents to the public. No, they didn’t catch the racers, but nobody got hurt here, so we can all be thankful for that.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
