New York: Bicyclist Chased and Pulled Over by NYPD Unmarked Police Car

Following the laws while driving can keep you out of trouble. It can save your life and keep you from getting a ticket. This could be even more important when driving in a crowded city like New York. But should cars be the only ones following traffic laws? Apparently not as you see a bicyclist getting pulled over for braking the law in this video.

The YouTube post says that the bicyclist ran the red light at the intersection of 6th Avenue and West Houston Street. Wondering how much the fine was? He is said to have received a $270 fine. So next time your ride your bike, think twice before running that red light.

The Dark Side of the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black Series

One of my favorite cars has got to be the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG. This model is a more powerful version of the popular C-Class. The C63 AMG has V8 engine with 451 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, plenty of power to have some fun from stoplight to stoplight. But if that is not enough for you, Mercedes has made an even more powerful AMG called the Black Series.

The Black Series has AMG's 6.3 liter V8 engine but in this car it has an output of 510 hp. The power gets to the rear wheels through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7 speed multi-clutch transmission. Mercedes Benz says that the Black Series has a 0-60 acceleration time of 4.2 seconds, a considerable improvement over the 4.4 seconds of the regular C63 AMG.

The C63 AMG Black Series is said to have a price around the $100,000 which is kind of steep for when you remember that a base C-Class starts around 35K. But the car will be built on a limited number and expected to start sells later this year. I just wished i could get one.....

 

 

Juke-R beats 458, Lamborghini, and SLS??

The Nissan Juke-R i posted about recently is certainly not the best looking small crossover out there. But its GT-Rish transformation sure turns it into something that can turn heads. The first video shows the Juke-R racing three well known super cars. The Ferrari 458 Italia with 562hp, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 with 560hp and the Mercedes-Benz SLS Amg with 563hp. The Juke-R in the video is the concept which has 485hp. The driver can definitely have a lot to do with who wins the race and behind the wheel of the Juke-R was the 2008 GT Academy winner Lucas Ordonez from Spain.

The other video is a test between the Nissan GT-R and the Juke-R. Check them out and tell me what you think about Nissan's powerful Juke-R.

Nissan's Cool Juke-R

One of the coolest concept cars i have seen recently is definitely that Nissan Juke-R. This concept model is a combination of Nissan's small crossover and the powertrain of Nissan's sports car, the GT-R. This vehicle will be available in very limited numbers as it will be built on an order basis. 

Another cool thing is that the Juke-R that will be available to the public will actually be more powerful than the concept. The concept had the 2010 GT-R's engine which was a 485hp V6. But that impressive power for such a small crossover was not enough for Nissan as they will sell the Juke-R with the 2013 GT-R's engine which has 545hp. Certainly must be one of the funnest small crossovers you can drive. 

Nissan has already gotten 3 orders for the Juke-R and they will be taking more orders in the coming month. The pricing for the Juke-R has not been announced but one should expect a similar price point as the GT-R, maybe more, so one might expect a six figure number. High price for a small crossover but its certainly not an ordinary one.
