Catrinel Menghia, the lingerie model who starred in the Fiat brand’s sexy Super Bowl ad is back in several new spots for the Italian automaker.
Helping promote the new Fiat 500 Abarth performance model, the ad was a clear indication of a change in gears from the automaker, after dropping its female US brand boss and its female-targeted J-Lo ads for some sex appeal directed right at a male audience.
Are they as good as the original? Are you going to watch them anyway no matter what we say? Of course you are. So stop reading and start watching below:

Given the long list of high-horsepower sports cars available today, it’s easy to forget where the Dodge Viper came from — or more importantly how it came to be.
Possibly one of this year’s most prolific TV commercials, Chrysler’s “Halftime in America” Superbowl ads featuring Clint Eastwood giving a pep talk to the country quickly became a smash hit.

Built in mere weeks before the 2012 Geneva Auto Show, the Lamborghini Aventador J is nothing if not striking.
With it’s chopped-off roof and tiny windscreens, it’s a hard car to forget. The 700-hp stunner is intimidating to stand next to, let alone drive at speed, yet that’s exactly what the company did in the promo video featured below.
Details first emerged yesterday that a Lamborghini Aventador burnt to a crisp on a Southern California freeway, and now there’s video.
According to reports the car was on a test drive when from a local dealership when the fire began somewhere near the driver’s side rear tire – the Aventador being a mid-engine machine, much of the vehicle’s heat is generated in that area.
The $376,000 V12-powered supercar pulled over on California 73 South, and despite efforts by local fire crews, it burn completely, all the way down to the carbon fiber chassis.

Human beings are capable of great acts of compassion and selflessness. We’re also all capable of being incredibly idiotic.

Drifting is becoming a worldwide phenomenon, with car enthusiasts yearning to go sideways all over the globe. In this video a driver doing his best Initial D impression comes up a little short.
The driver catches a mound of sand and rolls his car right over. The car is clearly more injured than the driver’s ego, who continues to drive the vehicle past the stunned audience.
Hopefully this will remind viewers that drifting can be a dangerous pass time, and to try and not hit the only sand mound in the vicinity when you have tons of asphalt to have fun on. Just a suggestion.

This motorcycle rider isn’t afraid of much, or at least that’s how it seems given his devil-may-care riding style up Mulholland Drive, outside Los Angeles.

We see the daredevil taking his ride around corners and along straight stretches of road, casually popping the sidecar into the air as if it was common practice.
You can watch the video below, just don’t try this yourself.
