  • Ferrari 458 Spider by A. Kahn Design

    Having already worked its magic on the Ferrari 458 Italia, British tuning outfit A. Kahn Design has now got its hands on the even tastier 458 Spider. Featured here is A. Kahn Design’s initial work on the convertible supercar, a stunning example finished in Ferrari’s Grigio Alloy hue. Rather than ruin the near-perfect lines of the 458 Spider, like some other have done, A. Kahn Design has chosen to add only subtle upgrades that build on the already strong platform. The special touches include silver highlights on the front air intakes, a matte finish for the rear intakes and...

    The Subaru WRX STI Blow-Off Valve Duck Call Modification

    Imagine you're at a stoplight, and a Subaru WRX STI rolls up next to you, with the driver revving the engine. Seems normal right? What if when they revved the engine a duck call started coming from the car's engine bay? We know, try to contain your laughter. MUST WATCH: Brake Failure At 154 MPH Is...

    "Street-Legal" Tumbler To Take On Next Gumball Rally

    Generally speaking, the Gumball Rally has become a seemingly no-holds barred on-road playground for the world's wealthy elite. We're not fans of all the on-road antics but not every Gumballer runs the event in that manner, either. Many treat it as a way to see different parts of the world in all...

  • Hennessey-tuned 2013 Ford Taurus SHO

    Few cars available today fit the description of a “sleeper” better than the Ford Taurus SHO. Almost indistinguishable from a stock Taurus, the high-performance SHO, with its 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, will put many sports cars to shame. The guys at Hennessey, however, have taken the car’s performance to the next level, bumping output to a heady 445 horsepower. This sees the car’s 0-60 mph time drop to an impressive 4.3 seconds while its quarter mile elapsed time is an insane--for a large family sedan--12.8 seconds and its trap speed 109 mph. The...

    After previewing it as a concept last year, Volvo’s S60 Polestar sports sedan has been confirmed for production, with the initial run of cars to be sold exclusively on the Australian market. The production S60 Polestar won’t be quite as extreme as the original 508-horsepower concept...

Along the way, Polestar started selling dealer-installed ECU tuning software...

  • Ford Focus RS on Jay Leno's Garage

    A few years ago, Ford’s Focus came in two different flavors: the lame duck version we received here in the U.S., and the more refined and much more powerful version (in certain trims) sold everywhere else. Thankfully, with the Blue Oval’s ‘One Ford’ policy firmly in place, we’re finally getting the Focus the rest of the world enjoys, including the 252-horsepower Focus ST variant, which we think is simply brilliant. However, the previous-generation Focus that we missed out on had one additional performance variant, the Focus RS, which put out 300 horsepower in...

    Ram Considering A Production Ford SVT Raptor Rival

    There’s no doubt that the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor has been an out-of-the-park home run for Ford’s performance brand, racking up more sales than any other model in SVT’s history. Blame it on America’s love for pickup trucks, or blame it on our fear of societal collapse, but the...

    Dartz Dreams Up Its Own Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6

    Latvian tuner and manufacturer of armored vehicles Dartz has come across what’s possibly the only SUV tougher and more extreme than its own line of Prombron monsters, the new Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6. Rather than trying to outmatch the tough-as-nails AMG off-roader, Dartz has imagined its...

  • Jeep's Trailhawk II concept - image: Chrysler Group LLC

    Every year, the end of March brings with it increasing daylight, the promise of spring, and the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari. A longstanding tradition in the off-roading community, the yearly event in Moab, Utah is also an excuse for Jeep and Mopar to show off their wares in the form of both concept and enhanced vehicles. Last year, Jeep rolled out six vehicles, including our favorite, the Mighty FC Concept. Based on the design of Jeep’s “Forward Control” models, built from 1956 to 1965, the retro cabover pickup looked capable of going where even Mercedes-Benz Unimogs fear...
