Under the hood is a stout five-cylinder turbodiesel engine that's designed to run until the Sun burns out. We see...

A monster truck, a six-gullwing limo, a convertible, and, naturally a Back To The Future homage. These are Rich Weissensel’s crazy creations. They are awesome. WATCH: 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Faces Off Against Viper T/A, Ferrari 458 Italia: Video The Chicagoan has no explanation for his rather...

It’s time to sit back and enjoy Ken Block’s Gymkhana 7, which this time sees the professional rally driver/hoonigan weave his way around the empty streets of Los Angeles—empty, thanks to some help from the LAPD. His Gymkhana formula may be getting a bit stale but Block certainly...

If your aim is to build the fastest set of wheels on the planet, then you’re going to have to employ some pretty out of the ordinary means of propulsion, usually a rocket. If in doubt, just ask the guys behind the Bloodhound SSC, who next year will attempt to break the current land speed...
