When Singer sets to work on a Porsche 911, you know the end result will be even more special than the car that initially stood before. A "standard" 964-era Porsche 911 (1989-1994) is a marvelous machine, but one "reimagined" by Singer takes it to a whole new place. Now, granted, it's quite an...

One of my dream machines isn't a new Ferrari [NYSE:F]. It's not the latest Porsche. It's not even something like a Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Shelby GT350, or other modern high-horsepower muscle car. It's a Ford Crown Vic. You see, I drive on the Los Angeles freeway system and it's a terrible...

"Hey Porsche 918 owner, your car is good. But this Canepa 959 Generation III is the greatest of all time!" So sayeth my inner-Kanye voice. What you're looking at is the latest and greatest that the amazing team at Canepa Motorsports has crafted. If you're a Porsche fan, you already know all about...

After wowing crowds with his custom 240Z at SEMA in 2015, Fast and the Furious star Sung Kang has a new project car in the works for this year’s show, and this time he’s enlisted a little help. Kang has teamed up with Alexis, Christian and Tony, all of them students from Alhambra...

Long-time Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni has formed a new tuning firm focused on the supercars churned out of Sant'Agata Bolognese. The firm is called VB, and its first product is a titanium exhaust for the Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce that looks more like sculpture than a car...

It doesn’t get more badass than this. Strapped to the dyno of Hennessey Performance Engineering is a 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat dishing out hypercar-like numbers. The car features the tuner’s HPE1000 Twin Turbo package. That’s right, the folks at Hennessey have added a pair...

You never know what's going to turn up at Jay Leno's Garage. Leno is a fan of Wankel rotary engines and has featured a couple on the show in vehicles like a Mazda Cosmo 110S and a modified 1973 RX-3. This time, though, he featured a rotary engine in something a bit more unorthodox. This 1966...

Audi's finally given the world the new, second-generation R8 for 2017. While no one would call it slow, more power never hurt, right? Clearly that's the thought over at Underground Racing (UGR), as it's already slapped two turbos on the new R8 V10 Plus. That's right, the V-10 engine, which comes...

Remember that V-8 conversion for the latest-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata we told you about at the start of the year? Well, it’s ready to order and the confirmed specifications are every bit as impressive as we’d hoped. The company doing the conversion is Flyin’ Miata, based in...

Would you be willing to pilot a Nissan GT-R modified to put out 2,000 horsepower? How would you feel at speeds exceeding 200 mph? And what would you do if it all started to go wrong during braking from a speed run? One lucky fellow with Team Insanity Racing had the guts to find out all of the above...

You bought the Ford Mustang GT. Fun car, that one. When you go to sleep at night, though, your dreams are filled with visions of snake badging, noises from a flat-plane crank V-8, and a desire to hit the racetrack. You're not a crazy person, you just wish you could afford the Shelby GT350. We all...

One Ram owner, Tom Stoll, has given up on waiting for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] to offer the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 known as the Hellcat in a pickup truck, so he went out and had Master Technician Kevin Byrnes of Midland Chrysler in Midland Ontario, Canada build him one. Several...

Got a good half hour this Saturday morning to watch a couple of British guys entertain you while building one of the the world's fastest Minis? No, well make the time because you're in for some laughs and you might learn something, too. Project Binky is the work of Nik Blackhurst and Richard...

Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] sold 16.5 million examples of its Model T, which was built from 1908 to 1927. When you think of really old cars, you're most likely picturing a Model T. It's the car of cars, and it has a special place in the heart of enthusiasts. Much like it's the car, it was also the...

Nissan’s GT-R is one of the most popular cars for modifying, and with good reason. But there’s such a thing as taking things too far. Case in point is this GT-R with turbochargers where the headlights would normally sit. Yes, it makes the car look downright nasty, in a good way, but it...

An enterprising Canadian has decided that Ferrari V-12 power isn't sufficiently adequate. Instead, he has created a car powered by two jet engines that is styled to look like a Ferrari Enzo. Over the course of a dozen years, Ryan McQueen acquired two Rolls-Royce jet engines (by selling his own...

The classic Mini Cooper is a very cool old machine. The Honda K-Series engine, which powered Hondas and Acuras this centruy, is a stout, fun powerplant. Apparently, when you combine the two you don't lose any of the charm of either but rather gain an ultra-compact machine hellbent on popping...

If a Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] Enzo isn't exotic enough for you, a high-end car dealer in suburban St. Louis has just the ticket: The world's only bare carbon fiber version of the legendary supercar. Listed on The DuPont Registry by Exotic Motors Midwest in Creve Coeur, Missouri, the naked Enzo has an...

From 1954 all the way through 1983, Jeep produced over 600,000 examples of its CJ5. We'd have to assume that the number of those finished with a wooden body, wooden seats, and a wooden roll bar would be low. As in zero. Still, this custom example found wearing Ohio plates probably has a better...

Callaway and the Corvette go together like punch and pie. The tuning, engine, and parts developer from Connecticut has been cranking out go-fast bits since it incorporated back in 1977. About 10 years later, Callaway and Corvette would become forever linked. In 1987, the Callaway crew created a...
