Geneva Preview: Opel to present new concept


On March 5, at the opening of Geneva Motor Show, GM’s European subsidiary will unveil a brand-new concept. That we’ve known for some time now thanks to GM Europe's Geneva Show site. What we don’t know is what kind of concept car Opel’s talking about. Even though we discovered an official teaser pic from the German firm, I’m pretty sure that you’ll agree with us that it’s not much of a help. So for know, we’ll have to be content with rumors we’ve been hearing here and there saying that Opel could be previewing a concept version of the all-new Vectra sedan that's expected to go on sale in mid 2009. Figures, once Americans got a taste of the Opel Vectra in the form of the Saturn Aura, it was time for the Europeans to get their hands on an all-new version... Pic via: Autowerld

Flying Subaru Impreza: Video from Ken Block’s 171ft world record jump

Last November American rally car driver Ken Block set a new world record for distance jumping in a rally car. Block flew his 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car a wacko 171ft (about 52 meters) off a special ramp that was built at the Lake Elsinore Motocross park in Southern California. The jump was made for 'Stunt Junkies', a Discovery Channel TV-series which conceptualizes, builds and executes crazy stunts like this. Although several grainy cell-phone video footage has leaked across the net since November the 16th, this is an official video of the stunt that aired on Discovery Channel TV for the first time this week.
