We couldn’t help but ask Chrysler officials point-blank about what cars their 2012 300 SRT8, the brand’s self-proclaimed “Ultimate combination of world-class luxury and performance,” will compete against. Their answer, delivered with zero hesitation and a perfect poker face? The Cadillac CTS-V. That utterance shut us up so quickly that we had to sit back in our chair to ponder the bold response. @Funk Flex
(Video) Car Talk: Gordon Murray’s Batmobile crashes during show rehearsal
Gordon Murray can design a Batmobile, but he can’t teach the Dark Knight how to drive it. Murray’s latest automobile was created for the new Batman Live show, a stage production that tells the story of how Batman and Robin came to team up. Murray’s take on Bruce Wayne’s iconic ride plays a major role… during an early live rehearsal, that role included crashing into a Bank of Gotham set piece. @funkmasterflex
Car Talk: 1957 Ferrari 250 TR
The last several years have seen classic Ferraris sell at auction for record-breaking prices including a 1961 Ferrari California Spyder that sold for over $10 million in 2008 and a 1957 Ferrari 250 TR that fetched more than $12 million in 2009. While those numbers seem astounding, they could be surpassed next month with auction house Gooding & Company offering up one of the most significant Ferrari race cars of all time, the 1957 250 TR prototype. @funkmasteflex

(Video) Car Talk: Lexus LFA
We can always rely on the good people at Motor Trend to stir up some genuine jealousy thanks to their excellently crafted videos. The team recently got their hands on the Lexus LFA and took the V10 monster out to an abandoned Marine base for a little frolicking in the wide-open spaces. @funkmasterflex
