F1 Race Car vs Cool Mountain Road

A cool video of a Red Bull Formula 1 car racing up the highest motorable road in the world in northern India's Kashmir state. This is a world record for the world's highest run by a Formula 1 car at 18,380 feet. Spectacular car....spectacular scenery! Enjoy the video.

DeLorean DMC-12 EV coming 2013

There was cool car news today about speculation of an electric-powered DeLorean coming in 2013. It's in part thanks to the eponymously dubbed DeLorean Motor Company of Texas (not to be confused with long defunct DMC).  DeLorean took to its blog this weekend announcing a partnership with Epic EV to make this "all-electric" DMC-12 a reality.



The DeLorean DMC-12 EV will have a cool 260 horsepower and a maximum speed of 125mph. It's expected to cost about six-figures, which sadly won't include a Flux Capacitor, but you could always run the app for that with its in-console iPhone holster. The DMC-12 EV is set to be released in 2013.

Doc will be pleased.
