Do you remember the Ken Block videos drifting his Subaru STi for DC Shoes, and recently acquiring a new Ford Fiesta for the snow drift scene? Well now there is a new competitor on the block, Tanner Foust, in his race built Scion TC. Why they chose a Scion TC for the drift track? Beats me, but it does look good from the exterior, and is definitely spewing out clouds of smoke from the rear wheels. At least it’s not a boxy Scion xB or tiny Scion xA. Right now we just have a teaser video, however a ton of pictures from AutoBlog. They recently announced a new drift series coming in March, which will feature prospect Tanner Foust and his Scion TC taking on the dangerous road, Mulholland Drive in California.

Dodge has unveiled the Furious Fuchsia special edition 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and Challenger SRT8 for their 40th Anniversary of the legendary model. Not too sure how ‘furious’ pink is, but the all new Dodge Challenger packs a powerful HEMI V8 with an unmistakable design and world-class handling. Dodge avoided tuning the engine and stuck with the most significant highlight of the car, the exterior shade of Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat with Pearl White leather seats. The limited edition Challenger rides on large 20-inch polished aluminum rims wrapped in all-season high performance tires to complete the wheel package.

Tuning companies usually only release one body kit or performance package at a time, but Wald International has decided to launch five new car styling kits for several manufacturers. Typically a big tuner show like SEMA will come around, and we will get an assortment of new packages available for tuning enthusiasts. However, this time Wald International has unveiled new aero kits for the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Porsche Panamera, Jaguar XJ, BMW 7-Series, and Infiniti M makes and models. If they had possibly thrown in a Mercedes, Bentley, or Aston Martin kit to the group, they would have the whole tuning scene covered in one release!

If you are already successful, well then the auto show is for you to get ideas about the next car you want to buy.

Even though General Motors used the term ’show car’ to describe the sporty Buick Regal GS that made its world debut in Detroit, there’s nothing conceptual about this model. The GS version of the new 2011 Regal sedan that’s due to go on sale this summer is said to be identical to the Opel Insignia OPC in all but one element: the engine.
