There have been some stunning incidents this week, ranging from the hilarious video of a Formula 1 marshall rolling under Luizzi’s car in Malaysia, to this horrifying footage of a race car completely clearing the concrete barrier at Brands Hatch, UK. We’ve got a second video of that horror smash, in which both drivers walked away, as well as a few you might have missed, including Jason Plato’s high speed bender in the British Touring Car Championships.

Let’s start with that second angle from Brands Hatch. The accident occurred at an amateur one-make Toyota MR2 race at the infamous Brands Hatch circuit in the UK. The event was not televised so this spectator captured the only footage of the incident. Cars 1 and 55 come together, and the black MR2 gets squeezed over the barrier and into the parking lot, while the red MR2 does a spectacular series of end-to-end rotations against the catch fence. There’s an awesome stop-frame in this footage as well.

The next video features Jason Plato, a presenter on Discovery Channel’s Fifth Gear and BTCC Champion. The track is ex-F1 circuit Donington Park, also in the UK. Plato gets a nudge from behind just after the race starts and goes off during a flat-out corner. The commentator says that cars never go off their, so its a long slippery ride to the barriers. Incredibly the team rebuild the car in just a few hours, and had it on the grid for the next race, which brought Plato to tears. He said “Forget F1, this is the best team in the world.” The big girl. Plato eventually placed 6th and earned some valuable points.

In Nascar this week we saw Restrictor Plate racing at Talladega, one of the highlights of the calendar. If you’ve ever watched Nascar you might know that it involves going left and crashing. And weird sponsorship. That aside, Talladega is a rare 2.5 mile super-speedway, which means the drivers can literally drive flat-out for all 188 laps. To slow them down, a plate is welded below the accelerator (can you imagine that in F1) which holds them at about 180mph. To gain a speed advantage, rival drivers “bumpdraft” – they literally touch bumpers to cancel air resistance for the trailing car. This is incredible motor racing, but also incredibly dangerous, can you imagine somebody nudges you a little too hard at 300kmh? Well it happens, and this is the result:

And finally, during Friday free practice at the Malaysian Grand Prix, an in-car camera caught a hilarious moment when track marshals were pushing Antonio Luizzi’s broken-down car off of the track. Luizzi was out of the car when the incident happened. We’re only laughing because the marshal involved got up straight away. Sorry about the lame dubbed music, I searched Youtube long and hard for original audio but no luck.

The Vantage S features a 4.7-liter V8 engine that develops 430 bhp (321 kW / 436 PS) and 490 Nm (361 lb-ft) of torque. As you see, it churns out an extra 10 bhp (7 kW / 10 PS) and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) as compared to the standard Vantage V8.

The moniker S indicates this additional offering. The Vantage S also comes with a Sportshift II transmission that enables quicker gear shifts.

Well, the video guarantees ultimate performance. Check out the video.

The most notable aspect of the video is that it is soundtrack-free. The occasional or roars of the vehicle itself is featured as such, which in fact had turned out to be its own kind of music.

Lamborghini has a successor to the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. It is learnt that the upcoming auto is extremely lightweight as compared to its predecessor.

It comes with 700 hp and do the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in under 3 seconds. Certain images of the car were unveiled last month by the manufacturer. Once referred to as the Jota, the new vehicle will possibly be called the Aventador LP700-4.

Here’s the video for you:

Features that we can clearly make out from the latest video are the new wheels with that typical BBS-like design, quad exhaust tailpipes typical of modern BMW M cars, and of course the car also gets its own M styling.

As previous reports suggest, power will likely be provided by a twin-turbo N54 inline-six with at least 350 PS (257 kW / 345 bhp). It will be mated exclusively to a six-speed manual gearbox, which should allow the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 4.5 seconds.

The battery pack allows the car to travel up to 50 miles before a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine kicks in to recharge it. The car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in approximately six seconds, and has a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph). It has an estimated combined fuel consumption rating of 2L/100km (117.6 mpg US).

The Karma, a four-door, four-seat luxury sports sedan, was unveiled at the Detroit auto show in January last year. It was scheduled to go on sale last year, but the sale was delayed for unspecified reasons. We can expect the car to be launched in 2011. The promotional video is here for you to see.

Although I’m not a big Renault fan, I must admit that the new Megane Coupe-Cabriolet cruiser has what it takes to cause some serious head turns when passing by. The Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet, comes with a folding roof made of glazed glass and has 6 motor options: 3 diesel and 3 on gas. Choices includes a 1.4 liter turbocharged TCe 130 engine (with 130hp), naturally aspirated 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter power plants outputting 110 hp and 140 hp respectively, or dCi 110 FAP, dCi 130 FAP and the dCi 160 FAP. On top of that, the Coupe-Cabriolet will come with either a 6-speed manual, a CVT or a 6-speed dual clutch EDC gearbox.
