Wed, 24 Jul 2013
We spend a lot of time on the Internet -- pretty much whenever we're not driving, writing about or working on cars. Since there's more out there than we'd ever be able to cover, here's our daily digest of car stuff on the Web you may not otherwise have heard about.
-- Along with the “Need for Speed” franchise, the “Gran Turismo” series may be the latest in line to make the leap to the big screen. The producers behind the upcoming “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie are reported to be behind the adaption. Check out more information here from The Wrap.
-- Ride shotgun with Mercedes-Benz as they give you a behind-the-scenes look on what it takes to build the 2014 S-class.
-- Take a peek into the workshop that keeps the Aston Martin spirit alive: Aston Martin Works. Located at the original headquarters in Newport Pagnell, England, the shop features classic Astons and even modern ones such as the DB9. Check out the video below courtesy of Drive.
