Watch a VW Scirocco R Chase a Ford Focus RS on the Nürburgring Track

Here are two of Europe's finest hot hatches (that you won't be able to buy in the States, at least not in their current generation…) racing each other on the Nordschleife.

The VW Scirocco R is the flagship model of the series and is powered by a specially tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that churns out 261hp (265PS) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft).

Like the Volkswagen model, the Focus RS is front wheel drive but instead of a four-banger, it sports a 2.5-liter force-fed inline-five generating 300hp (305PS) and 440Nm (324.5 lb-ft).

Shelby's New Mustang GT500-Based 1000 gets its Video Debut

In a fairly embarrassing moment for Shelby, it was discovered by USA Today that at least one of the official press pictures showing the company's new 1000 lifting its front wheels several inches up in the air was the product of photoshop. As pointed out by Jalopnik, this is something that Shelby itself was forced to admit through its vice president, Gary Patterson.

Of course, this doesn't mean we're less interested in Shelby's most powerful creation to date, which will be officially unveiled at next week's 2012 New York International Auto Show.

The crew over at Road & Track took a prototype for a ride and published a pair of videos of the 2012 Mustang GT500-based 1000 on the track. As a reminded, the 1000's re-engineered 5.4-liter supercharged V8 pushes out around 950-horses. You can watch the videos right after the jump.

Ford Mustang Drifts Over Cement Median and into Peugeot 107

Did the driver of this modded, fifth gen Ford Mustang attempt to drift on purpose or did he simply enter the turn a bit too fast and lost control of the car? Who knows.

The end result is that he (or she, we can't be sure) slid right over the cement median and crashed into a Peugeot 107 on the other side of the road. Bet the Peugeot driver didn't see this coming.

And if you haven't figured it out already from the dashcam-mounted camera, this accident took place in mother Russia.

The video awaits your curiosity right past the break.
