The following video will definitely trigger a deja-vu sequence among many of our readers; an expensive Italian luxury car destroyed with sledgehammers in China. Yep, we’ve seen that before.

The only thing different between the 2011 video and the new one added after the break is the car, as the Lamborghini Gallardo is now replaced by a Maserati Quattroporte. However, the reason for which the owner hired some...muscleto destroy the car is the same: poor servicing.

The 918 Spyder is on its way, and unlike other similar projects that are shrouded in secrecy from the moment they are announced up until the point when they are launched, Porsche’s hybrid hypercar has been out in the open from very early on in its development cycle.

Journalists have even been allowed to drive the car on several occasions, but being a work in progress vehicle, none have pushed it as hard as they would have wanted. Chris Harris’ latest Drive video is no exception, as he gets behind the wheel of a 918 that is currently about 80 percent done.

Not that you really need more proof that the Italian design house and coachbuilder Pininfarina has written some of the most desirable cars in the world, but this is a good example of the work of the production company made in recent years. 

 It is the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Speciale "Rondine" (Ron-di-nay) concept was built by Pininfarina for the Paris Auto Show last year.Written by Tom Tjaarda while he worked at Pininfarina, the model was carrying a sleek design with Italian raw American power. The car is based on the 1963 Corvette C2 Chassis with power from a 327ci (5.4-liter) fuel injected V8 pumping 360 horsepower, mated to a 4 speed spin the rear wheel.

 While providing traditional fiberglass Corvette, is fascinated fit European style of the Rondine is made of steel.
