The BMW Ring Taxi recently got an update to the F10 M5, but now a new car is offering rides around the Green Hell: the Jaguar XJ. Outfitted with the Sport and Speed Pack options, the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ Supersport packs 510-horsepower and a top speed of 174 mph. The biggest XJ might seem like...

There's very little that can be said to make us like the Audi quattro more, and pretty much nothing that can be said to make us like it less. This particular example, built up over time by Keith Edwards of KEM Racing from various bits and pieces, has come into a coherent whole that's simply...

Jolene Van Vugt isn't a household name here in the U.S., but she's surprisingly quick on household bathroom fixtures. The fastest in the world, actually. Today, in Australia, at Sydney Olympic Park, Van Vugt set a new land speed record for a motorized toilet, reaching a puckering 46.605 mph average...

If you've dreamed of becoming a race car driver, but could never find the time or the money it takes to get serious on your own, the Nissan GT Academy is a proven path--but only for a lucky, highly-skilled few. Nonetheless, it's open to anyone who thinks they have what it takes, and it's getting...

Grungy, gunky, funky, and rusty, this Austin Mini Se7en De Luxe is said to be the oldest surviving unrestored Mini in the world. Built in May 1959, it's the eighth Se7en De Luxe ever made. And now it belongs to one lucky (?) new owner, who ponied up the £40,250 it took to win the Bonham's...

Last August we brought you news of a dust-shrouded, incredibly pitiful Ferrari Enzo (amongst a small fleet of other luxury vehicles) that had been apparently abandoned somewhere in Dubai. Then this week, word broke that the Enzo was set to be auctioned by the Dubai police. It turns out that's not...

In the NSFW video you're about to see, a duo of highly excitable and vocal young men narrate the travel of a fleet of super- and sports cars through New Jersey at speeds that are, at times, simply too fast for their poor Mitsubishi Evolution 8--even though speeds only appear to be around 100 mph...

Well, that was quick. Just a handful of weeks after its launch in Japan, the GT 86 has already been gutted and fitted with a Lexus IS F V-8 engine for use in D1 Grand Prix drift events by Manabu "Max" Orido's team. It's a classic idea, shoving a big V-8 in a small, light car, but that's not the...

This video bears little explanation--just watch it, and you'll thank yourself. This is, bar none, the best a capella rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," in full, we've ever heard...from a drunken Canadian in the back seat of an RCMP squad car. The fact that the cops transporting him didn't...

While we're still not allowed to talk about the Fiat 500 Abarth's performance or other qualities--don't worry, we will be soon--we can show you this new ad--pitched at the recent media launch as an alternate Super Bowl commercial that was deemed a bit too saucy. Considering Catrinel Menghia's spot...

The man that brought us one of the best rain driving videos ever, Andy Gülden, chief instructor of the Nürburgring Driving Academy, now brings us the winter version: drifting a formula car through the snow and ice of the wintery Nordschleife and Grand Prix track. It's pretty pointless...

If you've been enjoying Forza Motorsport 4 but didn't get in there with a pre-order, missing out on some bonus cars, then you're in luck. Available right now on Xbox Live for 560 Microsoft Points is the Launch Bonus Pack, containing ten of the cars previously available only to those who pre-ordered...

PlayStation racing gamers should today be able to get their hands on the third download package for Gran Turismo 5, the console's seminal racing title. Following on from the first downloadable content back in October and another just before Christmas, the third package gives GT5 fans the option of...

This video is so surreal it's likely to blow your head open, but here it is: Snoop Dogg joins forces with Drew Carey on The Price Is Right to offer a 1962 Lincoln Continental convertible to a very excited, somewhat nerdy, and decidedly under-dressed young woman. Mayhem, TPR-style, ensues. The game...

If you're thinking of opening a one-bucket-car-wash, this video may change your mind.

What do Natural Balance pet food, Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, the Rose Parade, and the Guinness Book of World Records have in common? One massive dog-themed parade float. The longest, heaviest parade float in the world, in fact. Just how long and heavy? It's 116 feet long and weighs in at more...

What do you get when you add a drift-crazy Kiwi criminal to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe drift car, mix in a little humor, a donut-munching security guard, some pretty marginal acting, and a suitably X-treme!! soundtrack? This video. Made by Hyundai just weeks before the planned demolition of the old...

A Manchester, New Hampshire driver got the morning commute from hell today, cruising down Beech Street and straight into a large sinkhole. Helicpoter footage of the incident shows a Kia Rio held up at each end by the rim of the sinkhole, huge chunks of asphalt and a gas line below. Firemen had to...

New Yorkers are notoriously self-concerned despite (or perhaps because of) their very close proximity to millions upon millions of neighbors, and this video highlights that spirit well. Observe, one man eying a parking space that's roughly the same length, give or take a few inches, as his car. In...

When Rockstar games released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5 last month, we accepted that when it finally hits the shelves some time next year, it might be difficult to tear ourselves away and do some work. With the new announcement (via Gamespot) that Grand Theft Auto 3 will be coming to...
