Part of Ferrari’s appeal as a supercar is that each model can be highly personalized to an individual customer’s preferences. For some, contrasting leather upholstery and a bit of carbon fiber trim is enough; for others, however, a complete redesign of an existing model is the only...

While it may not have drawn the same $4.1 million selling price as the heavily-modified Aston Martin DB5 used in the filming of Goldfinger, the DB5 formerly owned by former Beatle Paul McCartney commanded a respectable £307,000 ($490,463) when the hammed fell at RM Auctions’ recent...

Snoop Dogg is a busy guy these days. In addition to cranking out new reggae beats under the pseudonym “Snoop Lion,” a name given him by a Rastafarian priest in Jamaica, he’s also just released a electronic compilation called “Loose Joints” under the name DJ...

Whether you're a Beatles fan or not, you can't help but love the lines and details of this classic 1964 Aston Martin DB5 once owned by Sir Paul McCartney. A stunning example of the DB5 with custom touches, RM Auctions expects the car, bearing chassis number 1653/R, to bring between...

Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, can run 100 meters in 9.58 seconds and 200 meters in 19.19 seconds, both world records. He has a thing for fast cars too as evidenced by his joy over lapping in the Ferrari 458 Italia and 599 GTB at Italy's Fiorano circuit. Recently, Bolt partnered with...

When Volvo announced it was signing NBA star Jeremy Lin as a pitchman for its cars last March, “Linsanity” was everywhere. It seemed impossible to turn on televised news without hearing the latest exploits of the New York Knicks’ unlikely superstar point guard. In the seven months...

Last May we brought you the news that a 1967 Corvette Coupe once owned by astronaut Neil Armstrong had surfaced on eBay, in worn but restorable condition. Essentially intact, the only bit of bad news was that the second owner had added flared fenders to the car during his four-plus decades of...

In August, a 1935 Duesenberg Model JN Convertible Coupe once owned by legendary Hollywood star Clark Gable crossed the block at Gooding & Company’s Pebble Beach auction. Despite bids that reached $6.4 million, the price failed to meet the current owner’s reserve, and the car was not...

The “Bond 50” Blu-Ray box set, which commemorates 50 years of James Bond films, goes on sale in London on September 24. To commemorate the occasion, Bond actors and actresses will use the Aston Martin DBS from Quantum of Solace to transport a golden briefcase containing the collection...

Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t the kind of guy to drive a Mazda MX-5, and we don’t see a Fiat 500 Abarth in his future, either. In fact, the actor and former governor of California has a way of making even normally-sized cars, like a Camaro ZL1, seem comically small. We’re not sure...

We’re starting to wonder if reigning Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel is regretting signing on to be Infiniti’s brand ambassador. After starring in a short martial arts battle alongside Chinese actress Celina Jade, Vettel has now played the character of a “modern day...

Dr. Phil, daytime television’s favorite wisdom-dispensing psychologist, is also a car guy. Comforting the grief-stricken and emotionally challenged on television pays well enough to afford a choice of rides according to The Daily Mail, including a Ferrari 360, a Gemballa-tuned Porsche and...

When you’re Jay Leno, taking delivery of the first or second customer car in country is generally as easy as picking up the phone and saying, “I’ll need one of those for my collection, as close to the first production model as possible.” Such was the case with The Tonight...

Following its key role in the popular television series Mad Men, where the brand was picked as the hard-to-acquire client of a fictional ad agency in New York during the 1960s, Jaguar has been thrust into the limelight, so far without even lifting a finger. At the recent Pebble Beach Concours...

Aerosmith front man and now-former American Idol judge Steven Tyler is also a car guy and a motorcycle guy. Like the rest of us, he enjoys hitting up car and motorcycle shows as his schedule permits; the difference is, we don’t get to show off our $1.1 million Hennessey Venom GT Spyder at the...

April Fool’s Day may have been four months ago but today we have a story worthy of being a great prank, only it’s real. Mercedes-Benz has enlisted none other than MacGyver, played by actor Richard Dean Anderson, to help sell its latest commercial vehicle, the Citan van. Anyone familiar...

Jay Leno is not a Ferrari guy, or more specifically, he’s not a modern Ferrari guy. His issue with cars like the Ferrari 458 Italia is simple: there’s nothing under the hood that an owner can turn wrenches on, as all service needs to be done by an authorized Ferrari dealer. Older...

Racing and automotive mogul Roger Penske isn’t having a good summer. First, there was the whole A.J.-Almendinger-testing-positive-for-banned-substances incident to deal with, which left Penske’s NASCAR Sprint Cup team down a contracted driver after Almendinger’s release. Now, just...

The second episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is out, and while it's as funny and offbeat as the first episode with Larry David, the most interesting aspect of the new episode is Ricky Gervais' obvious fear and discomfort in the passenger seat of a 1967 Austin-Healey 3000...
