Forget about the Gumball 3000, the 2016 Modball is more entertaining. Of course, we can't get over the fact that this German presenter thinks the Huracan has a V12, but the race makes up for it.
You don't get to see races between the Ferrari 488 GTB and the Lamborghini Huracan very often, so we'll have to take a look at this one even though one of the performance vehicles has been tuned.

Unfair advantage? Of course, but we'll have to determine exactly how much. We tracked down the car and found out it's part of Team Rolex #4. On Instagram, they are tagging it #610hp, which suggests the engine has been left intact.

Now that's very important, as Novitec Torado has a supercharger kit that takes the 5.2-liter to 860 PS and 960 Nm (708 lb-ft). Effectively, that would have made it a pointless race. There's also a drag race where the Novitec Huracan races a stock model and loses, which kind of proves our point.

If the driver of the Ferrari 488 GTB ever decided to do something about losing that race, Novitec Group can also help him out. Last month, the Rosso division, specializing in Ferrari tuning, announced an engine update worth 86 PS, bringing the total to an F12-rivalling 756 PS.

As we've said already, the Modball rally seems to be a lot more fun. What self-respecting supercar owner doesn't want to race against like-minted people while a hot German girl waves a flag around?

The cars are pretty crazy too. For example, we see that Nissan GT-R that looks like a Mitsubishi Zero fighter in the background. And there is also a G63 AMG 6x6 with a bull's head on top somewhere in there.

The only thing missing are the big-time celebrities and the hot girls. We'll remind you that a few years ago, the Mudball was joined by Lucy Pinder and other really hot British models.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
