Super Silly Chevrolet SS NASCAR Team and Red Bull Racing do The Harlem Shake
Theres no end to The Harlem Shake videos popping up right and left on the internet, and as one would expect, the new viral phenomenon has caught the attention of advertisers and marketing people in the auto industry as well.
Following in the footsteps of so many others, Red Bull Racing Australia and even four-time champion NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon (with the help / push of sponsor Pepsi) and his team who will run the new Chevrolet SS, joined in on the “Harlem Shake” silliness and posted their own videos.
"It was one of the best times Ive ever had, certainly the best time Ive ever had in my race shop with my guys in there," said Gordon during NASCAR Media Day. "Luckily it was quick, so it didnt take them away from their jobs for too long — because theres a lot going on at the shop. It turned out fun. Im a little embarrassed at my dancing, but it was still worth it."
Race through the break to watch both clips along with two more, one made by professional stock car motorsports team, Michael Waltrip Racing, and another one from a Texas car meet.

New BMW Alpina B3 Bi Turbo Racing to the Geneva Auto Salon
BMW has a very close relationship with Alpina, even offering the latters special models through its own dealers and with full warranty. At least for now, the only Alpina model available through official channels in North America is the 7-Series-based B7 flagship, even though the German specialty brand has its own proposal for most BMW models.
At the Geneva Auto Salon in March, Alpina will welcome another member in its family, the next generation of the B3 Bi-Turbo, based on the F30 3-Series sedan.
Alpina itself released only a single, partially blocked-out picture of the new B3 Bi-Turbo without any details, but the crew from the BMWBlog got their hands on a full blown image and preliminary specifications.
According to the report, the new B3 Bi-Turbo will use an upgraded version of the 335is 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine producing 404hp (410PS), linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, for a 0-100km/h run in just 4.0 seconds. The car is said to return a combined fuel economy of 7.9lt/100km (29.8mpg US / 35.8mpg UK).
