The trailer for the upcoming Ayrton Senna movie about his life has hit the youtubes!  Check it out below.

I know this isn’t directly car related but it is pretty F’ing awesome nonetheless.  Recently lowrider builder and automotive artist Mr. Cartoon teamed up with artist David  to create a set of movie poster style art works in tribute to Danny Trejo star of Machete.  Check out the videos below for all the info on the collaboration and the inspiration behind the posters.

The Nurburgring AKA “The Green Hell” is a test bedd for pretty much every auto manufacturer on the planet that produces anything remotely close to a performance car.  90% of the “spy shots” I see of up coming rides are shot when they are stretching their legs on Germany’s famous circuit.  NurburgringLive.com has something of a “live” set up (a still camera that refreshes every minute) for a chance to catch a glimpse of the next camouflaged super car taking a test run on the ‘ring.  You might not see anything for a while or you might see something awesome.  Check it out if you need to kill a few minutes.

The other night I went to Irwindale to check out their “drift night” presented by NOS Energy Drink. It was a pretty dope situation.  They sectioned off one area of the parking lot and changed it into a playground for amature drifters as well as a few pros.  I saw 2009 Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg joining in on the fun in his “missile car” AKA beater car with bare minimum required for drifting and nothing else!  The 3 inch exhaust pipe jutting out of the hood is what won me over.  Check it out below!

After almost two years of being on the good ol’ interwebs we have finally decided to create a shirt.  Our first design dubbed “SUPER HYPE ME!” is now available and totally free.  The catch is there isn’t any one place to get it.  We may bring a few to an event we’re covering and ask you to find us or we might ask trivia question via our twitter or facebook pages and the first person to get the right answer will get a shirt.  We’ll try to let you know when, where, and how you can get a MotorworldHype shirt when we have a few to give away so stay tuned!.  If you miss an opportunity to get a shirt don’t be totally bummed because there is a good chance we’ll have a few SUPER HYPE ME sticker on hand as well.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you video proof courtesy of EAT SLEEP RACE that the spirit of import drag racing isn’t dead!  Scroll down for the fresh edit by the ESR guys.

The first part of Gymkhana 3 is here!  In an unexpected move the first installment of what many are expecting to be an epic trilogy of hoonage is a music video featuring “The Cool Kids“.  Just like part 2 they’re coming at us again from the “infomerical” angle but somehow the way they do it just works!  Check out the music video below!

About a day or so ago the curtain offically pulled off the new 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS and all the European car enthusiasts around the world began to drool collectively.  Since Mercedes decided to reveal the car before the upcoming Paris Motor Show they held back some details, including the power train options and performance figures.  Instead of facts and figures the German manufacturer released a press release that basically explains why this car is so sexy.  That press release also happens to be 4 pages long!  Do we really need that many words to explain what we can already figure out with our eyes?  Not really!  So enjoy the pictures below and stay tuned for additional news as it develops.
