Just a quick note to mention that our colleagues over at the Cadillac Driver's Log have posted a very nicely done video of the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V running a sub-eight-minute lap around the Nordschleife at Germany's famous Nurburgring raceway. The amazing run is believed to be the fastest ever by a production car and when you see the video, you'll really get a sense of just how intense it was. - Will Stewart, blog editor

High gas prices mean a lot of bad things for commuters and Hummer drivers, but they also hit twenty-somethings right where it hurts. They threaten to encroach upon our quintessential summer tradition: the road trip.

Filed under: Spy Photos, Supercars  Spies have caught a Pagani Zonda mule during a brief respite from testing and at first glance, not much has changed. The greenhouse looks similar to the current version, while the front end benefits from a revised splitter and a softening of the previous model's hard creases. While these changes are minimal at best, it's not until you scope out the massive air intakes above the rear fenders that you realize that big things are afoot. Those new inlets are rumored to feed a supercharged version of an AMG-sourced 5.4-liter V8 - the same 680-hp mill that powers the McLaren SLR. Partnered with Pagani's extensive use of carbon fiber and other lightweight components, there's little doubt that the new Zonda will crack the three-second mark to 60 and continue on to a top speed of well over 200 mph. No production dates are available yet, but expect the new model to debut sometime next year.

Click above for a gallery of the V10 Audi R8.
We've been following the developments surrounding the V10-powered R8 for what seems like eons. But today, we received the most definitive proof yet; engine-bay shots and a video of a white prototype shot in Florida. According to members of AudiWorld, a few V10 mules have been handed out to current, and supposedly trustworthy, R8 owners for evaluation, sporting oval exhaust pipes and a revised fascia. While that's a rather unconventional move on Audi's part, it's proof that the automaker is getting ready to launch the new RS8 (or R10) in the near future.
Hit the jump to hear the V10-powered R8 stretching its legs.

When you think pedigreed high-performance, high-dollar Italian cars, if you're a typical modern American you probably think of Ferrari or Lamborghini. Maserati?Didn't Joe Walsh make that up for the "I Can't Drive 55" song?
