IN4RIDE MOVES TO NEW HOME

For the past five years IN4RIDE has been hosted quite generously by Google on their blog system. Over 1.1 million hits later and we feel that perhaps the time has come for us to grow out of this cocoon and into our own forest. Therefore, as you might already have noticed, we no longer update on this blog. Instead IN4RIDE has now moved to IN4RIDE.NET. Head over there or click on the image above to experience the fresh new IN4RIDE! You can of course, still follow us on Twitter (@IN4RIDE) and like our FaceBook page.

NISSAN GT-R NISMO SPIED AT NURBURGRING





When Nissan first launched the current-generation GT-R back in 2007 (2009 in Mzansi), the world stood still. It’s kind of been standing still ever since with each improvement of this stunning performer. Well it’s not over. There is a new version coming next year called the GT-R Nismo. These are the spy pictures as you see them, taken at the Nurburgring.

BMW i8 PRICED FOR AMERICA





While this is not be indicative of anything as far as Mzansi is concerned, it may be worth noting that BMW has priced its new i8 super hybrid in the United States. Basic trim is going to cost US$135 700, which is about R1.4 million over here. However, should we believe that this starting price is possible here too, then we can certainly dream of a likely final launch price.
