British journo and avid racer Chris Harris takes a more serious look at two of the fastest road cars money can buy: the Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 Turbo. However, we’re not talking about run-of-the-mill models here but rather the more extreme versions of both cars. In the case of the GT-R, Harris is testing the recently launched ‘Track Pack,’ which is currently offered exclusively in Japan and the UK. And for the 911 Turbo Harris is testing the sportier Turbo S model, the latest version of which was first launched in 2011. Unfortunately, weather conditions meant the...

Camaro ZL1 Update: 2013s To Fill Remaining 2012 Orders, Convertible Production Starts AugustChevy's 2012 Camaro ZL1 is one hell of a muscle car, even if Ford's 2013 GT500 does outshine it in horsepower.

Weird, but true: Hyundai recently loosed 40 baboons on the latest Hyundai i30 hatchback. The i30 shares most of its essentials with the Elantra, though it's a hatchback in the case of the monkey-infested durability tester. Hyundai claims it's the first test of its kind by a U.K. manufacturer, implying that some other manufacturers have done this as well. We don't recall the other occurrences, and we think that sort of thing would stick with us. We could rattle off a dozen puns, but we'll let Hyundai's official statement, courtesy of product manager Felicity Wood, do the work: "At Hyundai we...

Buick is trying really hard to portray itself as a manufacturer of stylish and hip vehicles. To do so, they’ve enlisted the help of an odd cast of characters: first came former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal, talking about the “oh effect” that Buicks can potentially have on passers-by. Next, it was Ving Rhames’ turn, showing how the actor famous for playing characters not-to-be-messed-with negotiated a deal for a new Buick Regal. While Shaquille O’Neal (or any other former NBA superstar) in a Buick is a stretch for our imagination, Rhames strikes us as the kind...
