Ferrari California Virtual Test Drive

August 18th 2008 00:15

With less than two months until its public unveiling, the marketing gurus at Maranello have teamed up with the creators of the Gran Turismo franchise to create a virtual test drive of the all-new Ferrari California.

Sony's Polyphony Digital, creators of the famous Gran Turismo simulation video games exclusive to the Playstation, have rendered a Ferrari California with stunning clarity and definition onto their GT5 prologue platform to create a beautiful 'test run' of the hard-top convertible racing through the virtual racetracks and streets of the popular game.

By the looks of things, it shouldn't be long before gamers will be able to test drive the Ferrari California by downloading the latest patch onto the PS3 but until then, head over to the California's dedicated site to feast your eyes over the latest Italian Stallion in motion.

Video: Audi A3 2.0TFSI Cabriolet vs BMW 125i Cabriolet

May 7th 2008 11:15

(L-R) Audi A3 cabriolet and BMW 1-series cabriolet

Audi A3 cabriolet vs BMW 1-series cabriolet

UK motoring magazine Autocar has released a video of a short comparison test between two of the newest entrants in the world of premium compact convertibles - the Audi A3 cabriolet and BMW 1-series convertible.

The all-new Audi A3 cabriolet went on sale in Europe earlier this year and is based on the A3 hatchback and features a lightweight fabric roof that can be opened hydraulically in just nine seconds. The design and shape of the car is very 'coupe-like' as opposed to the hatch which it is based on. (see more here).

The BMW 1-series has been on the market for a few years now and it was only late last year that the German car maker released a cabriolet version of the car after a hard-top coupe version was unveiled. (See more here).

In this video, the A3 cabriolet fitted with a 147 kW (200 hp) 2.0-litre TFSI unit goes up against the BMW 125i, which packs a 160 kW (218 hp) 3.0-litre straight six. Watch the video to see who comes out on top!
