Here’s a simple question: do you want to participate in a Porsche 911 Evolution driving experience?

We’d venture a guess that your answer would be a resounding ‘yes!’ so for you to be able to do that, all you have to do is play a game Porsche is hosting: guess which Porsche 911 you are listening too.

The challenge is broken up into five different categories with each category having a distinct line of Porsche vehicles revving their engines for you to decide what particular model you’re listening to.

The first category is the ‘Carrera’ and you’ll be tasked to pick between a 964, a 996, or a 997. The second category is ‘Classics’ and the choices you have include an RS 2.7, an RS 3.0 or an RS 3.8. The third category is ‘Race Derived’ and for this category, you have to choose among the 964 RS 3.8, the 996 GT3 or the 997 GT3.

Continued after the jump.

Luca Di Montezemolo beaches Ferrari California with Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso onboard

This year’s Ferrari World Finals in Valencia, Spain was supposed to be the culmination of a year-long Ferrari racing series that takes place all over the world. What was supposed to be the final round of the Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trophy and the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge ended up being overshadowed by a rather amusing and dim-witted incident involving three of the brand’s biggest names, Ferrari chief Luca Di Montezemolo and Ferrari’s 2010 F1 drivers, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.

In respect to both Massa and Alonso, they weren’t really to blame for the incident because they just happened to be sitting in the same car as the real culprit, Di Montezemolo himself.

The trio were parading around the track in a Ferrari California when Di Montezemolo – he was the one driving, by the way – decided to make an unplanned pit stop and drove into the gravel pits. Predictably, the California ended up getting stuck into the gravel after the rear tires got beached.

Alonso and Massa tried in vain to get the California out of its predicament but their efforts were futile as the gathered crowd began erupting in cheers and boisterous. Fortunately for the three, a separate California showed up at the scene of the ‘beaching’ and promptly gave the stranded fellows a ride back to base.

LA Design Challenge: Nissan V2G

The contenders at this year’s LA Design Challenge had to imagine the car of the 2030. Of course all of them are zero-emission electric vehicles. But Nissan went even further. According to them in 2030 the electrification of the nation’s highways will lead to the creation of a new ultra-efficient, high speed network called the ’GRID’.

It will be a low cost vehicle with a dynamic styling and quality construction. Taking advantage of the simple and user friendly EV architecture, they quickly hack the V2G, take it ’OFF-GRID’ and begin to explore the virtually endless opportunities of this newly created vehicle segment.
