How it happened
Subaru has produced an in-depth video about development of the new rear-drive BR-Z sports coupe (aka the Scion FR-S) and its “ultimate low center of gravity,” among other things. Check out: By Design.

Hot Rod videos!
Fans of Hot Rod TV on SPEED rejoiced this week that the show has been renewed for another season. If you’ve missed out, here are 10 episodes all ready to watch on Hulu. Check out: Hot Rod TV.

Corvette love
Here’s another great SPEED production on Hulu: American Muscle Car: The Last Sting Ray. Check out: Not Stingray.

Swedish beauty
Volvo celebrates its 85th anniversary this year in Gothenburg, so here’s the report in Sports Car Digest. Check out: No Trolls Here.

Chinese enigma
Apparently, the sexiest thing coming out of the Beijing Auto Show was a mysterious model wearing a teeny bikini and a racing helmet. You can see her in a photo gallery on People’s Daily Online. Check out: People’s Choice.

Even Zonda drivers get the blues
Behold the Pagani Zonda S roadster driver getting a ticket for hot-dogging it into the famed tunnel in Monaco. Guess he can afford the fine. Check out: Lives of the Wealthy.

Major failures
A huge compilation of fail videos, many of them involving miserable mishaps with cars, motorcycles and other wheeled things, including an alligator attack on a power lawnmower: “Just let him have it!” A great way to waste eight minutes and 49 seconds. Check out: All Fall Down.
