At this point, I pretty much speechless. I am not a huge fan of hillclimb races, but I do know what a typical hillclimb race car look like. It is probably ground hugging, has more power than any car needs, and has huge-ass wing. However, nothing that I know about hillclimb race cars could have prepared me for this: Franco Scribante Racing Hillclimb GTR. This thing is monstrous – both in power and in wings, AKA spoilers. Yes. That’s plural for wings because, this beast here has two of them and both of them are enormous. Like seriously and ridiculously enormous.

Meet Nathalie, An Electric Supercar That Has Range Extended By Methanol
This is Nathalie, a pretty bold and ambitious electric vehicle from German automaker Gumpert that we are obliged to call it a supercar because, 800+ HP.
