Sam Hubinette took us on a little behind the scenes peak at what Fast and the Furious 4 will be like. He is stunt driving in the movie naturally since the film is based on Drifting. Here is a shot from the set, notice the R34 Nissan Skyline (blue) lined up with some American muscle ready to do battle.

Check this shot out….note that the second car seems to have at least two duplicates sitting next to it, perhaps we can expect to see that thing see some carnage!

Here are pictures of Sam in makeup before his Drifting sequence.

Samuel Hubinette continues his movie stardom by being a stunt driver in the sequel to Crank called Crank 2 with Jason Statham. Samuel Hubinette was spotted on the set driving an ambulance while Jason Statham was driving another vehicle in what appeared to be a chase. Rumors have it our crazy swede will actually have a line in the film! The movie is speculated to begin seconds after the first film as a true sequel. Rumors have been circling about a new moving bullet-time camera rig that Mark Neveldine created for the production will be a huge hit in innovative filming. Drift ya later dudes!

We told you about this the other day on the blog and I wanted to bring you this video. The commercial is leaning more towards a short film on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4! It’s so elegant and snobbish as a short film at the same time that you just love and go, “yea that’s Lamborghini.” The best feature promoted is the Anti-Boredom Assistant. Just watch and you’ll understand.

He usually spends his time behind the wheel of a Dodge Charger, but recently Samuel Hübinette made an exchange for something with a lower roofline. Lamborghini asked him to take a seat in a 2009 Gallardo for the filming of a European-market commercial set on the streets of Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Blowing tire smoke for the camera is nothing new to Sam since his blue Mopar-mobile has been featured in many a BF Goodrich tire commercial. Unlike the Charger though, the Gallardo isn’t quite the towering elephant. It is also equipped with all wheel drive, a feature that requires a bit more driving finesse in order to pull off an extended slide. Stay tuned to Wrecked Magazine and we will have the video up for you once it is released!

The top 16 had some great tandem battles like Darren McNamara and Kyle Mohan in the first round and even some big shockers through the event. The drivers that were able to last managed to keep their car in one piece all weekend and perform with perfection in mind due to the lack of room for error on the streets of Long Beach, California. Here is how the top 4 finished out.

Well we rushed from LAX to the track and got a great sneak peak of Daijiro’s reborn LS7 GTO, Tanner Foust’s newly wrapped 350z and the new look on Sam Hubinette’s car! I would say the most exciting thing we found is Hampsha’s Gardella Racing Mobil 1 Pontiac Solstice. Check out the photos in our gallery by Clicking Here!
