It may seem like the life of a traveling auto writer is all unicorns, rainbows, and thumping V-8s (or V-10s or V-12s), but track-testing a new car can be tough. You have to learn a new track as you learn a new car, typically in a very short period of time and in a limited number of laps. In...

The Gelb-Schwarzer Renner is back, making its debut as a 2014 model at the Chicago Auto Show. For the uninitiated, the tag, which is German for “Yellow Black Racer” and often shortened to GSR, was attached to a special Volkswagen Beetle launched in 1972, which proved so popular it sold...
