The Goodwood Festival of Speed is behind us for 2014, but the sights and sounds keep coming as car owners and sponsors post videos of their time on Lord March’s estate.

Here, you’ll see a 1978 Lightning Cosworth Indy 500 race car wearing classic Budweiser livery...

Mercedes E-Class Drives 1,223 Miles On A Single Tank: Video
What's the furthest you've ever driven on a single tank of gas? 300 miles? 400? 500 even? With modest fuel tank sizes and so-so economy, most cars sold in the U.S. won't go a great deal further than this. Some of the special diesel models sold in Europe will though, and a model that's certainly...

It can slap its badge on as many race-winning Formula One cars as it likes and get a multiple F1 champion to sign off a V-8-powered SUV, but it's still not blessed with a particularly exciting reputation. Maybe its latest trick will work a little better: Dropping the 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 from a Nissan GT-R under the hood of the Q50 sedan, and sending it up the Goodwood hill climb at the upcoming Festival of Speed. After all, putting a GT-R engine in a Juke seemed to work okay for that car's image. Infiniti has confirmed that its Q50 Eau Rouge prototype will make its...
