Red Bull revealed the first pictures of the RB10 F1 car. And it seems that they went the same route as Toro Rosso and Williams. It's a little bit worrying because if Red Bull did, there's a good chance it's going to be the right way to go. At least they did their best to hide the malformation..

The Ferrari 458 GT that crossed the checkered line first with Alessandro Pier Guidi at the wheel was finally rewarded the GTD Class victory at the Daytona 24h. Unfortunately, the drivers were not given the privilege of being on the podium since, the No. 555 Ferrari of Team Level 5 Motorsport was given a 75 seconds penalty after the stewards decided that the Ferrari was at fault in the last overtaking maneuver executed on the final lap by the Audi R8 driver Markus Winkelhock.

The decision was then reversed three hours after the race and the Ferrari was then rewarded the GTD class win which it deserved in the first place. The guys at AxisofOversteer have more to tell you about the race. So head on to their blog for more highlights.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG on Vossen Wheels [VIDEO]


The C63 AMG Black Series is such a great car that Mercedes-Benz ended up producing 800 of them instead of the originally planned 650 units. So if you think 800 is too much and you'd like your AMG beast to be more unique, Vossen wheels offers these beautiful golden 15-spoke concave Precision Series Forged Wheels. And they go pretty well with the German sports car. See it by your self in the gallery below.

As a refresher, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 producing 510 Hp and 457 lb-ft of torque sending power to the rear wheels through a AMG Speedshift MCT seven-speed gearbox. That enables it to hit 100 Km/h in 4 seconds and hit a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). The C63 AMG Black is relatively heavy with 1710 Kilograms (3770 pounds).
You can also see it in motion in the video after the jump.
