Video: Ducati Diavel Takes On Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

We’ve seen our fair share of “car vs bike” drag races and if I do say so myself, these things never get old. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving, only it’s limited to watching them on YouTube videos. But even that doesn’t take away from the spectacle of seeing a high-powered sports car throw down against an equally imposing superbike .

This race is admittedly a few months old, but that’s the beauty of the Internet. Hidden gems like this are kept stowed away but can be unearthed any time, providing quality entertainment to anybody who watches it. Well, I found myself captivated by this particular match-up: a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray taking on a 2015 Ducati Diavel .

Two machines that are arguably at the peak of their powers. One is bringing a whole new level of energy to the American sports car market whereas the other continues to reign in the Italian sports bike segment. It’s an interesting match-up, to say the least, and one that had a pretty surprising result, not because of which machine won, but the way it seemingly did it in dominating fashion.

Lamborghini Diamante

Thomas Granjard's Final year degree project at Coventry University Lamborghini Diamante University project (not developed with Lamborghini) Trailer We're in the year 2023. Oil is getting depleted on our planet. However, mobility will continue to exist, it needs to. Such mobility not only includes boring electric vehicles for the city but also supersportcars with alternative drive systems. Flat, fast, extreme – cars that still set everyone in the mood for mobility without having a bad conscience – such as the eco-friendly Diamante Concept Car. This concept combines exclusivity and extremes in one single supersportcar. The name says it all. The most valuable mineral in the world stands for luxury, but also for naturalness, pureness, hardness and beauty – exactly as the dream car with the white collar. Its extremely flat silhouette is flanked by sharply outlined edges, the curved surface appears to be unpolished, rough, precious. The aerodynamic system uses movable wings to ...

Maserati Ghibli vs BMW 6 Series : Which Will You Buy?

When considering vehicles like Maserati Ghibli and the BWM 6 Series Gran Coupe, both reflect an effort toward blending dignified luxury with exhilarating performance. Though beholding vehicles of this caliber is always an exercise most fruitfully left to the natural eye, the image above serves as a simple example of each sedan’s inherent dignity. In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish. Comparing the Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW 6 Series in this regard yields a number of important emphases. Local clients will notice that both vehicles develop their identity around six-cylinder engines with a pair of strategic turbochargers. Yet regardless of identical displacement and analogous induction technology, Maserati serves its Ghibli clients with significantly greater quantities of horsepower and torque. In addition to t...

BMS Nehme-Sis

By winning the prestigious Rats Hole show in Daytona, the outlandish Nehme-sis from BMS Choppers has vaulted the Star Motorcycles brand to the top in custom bike building. An amazing thing happened at the Rats Hole show in Daytona Beach, Fla. during last October’s Biketoberfest – a custom Star Motorcycle won the show’s top prize. In doing so, it garnered the first win for a metric chopper in the premier category that’s traditionally ruled by American machines. Even more amazing the machine, named Nehme-sis after its builder, Broward Motorsports and BMS Choppers owner Sam Nehme, was the only metric cruiser ever to compete against American machines in Rats Hole’s prestigious Over 1000cc Super Radical category. “This year was the first time in 38 years they have ever allowed a metric bike to compete in the American class,” Nehme explains. In building Nehme-sis, Nehme literally took the Star Motorcycles tagline to heart. “We build it, you ...
