Bentley's exploits in high-speed ice driving are well-known--and officially recognized.

You see, the claim made with this video is for the unmodified...

The Ford Raptor is quite possibly the most awesomely insane production vehicle to come out of an American carmaker, even counting Ford's own 2013 Shelby GT500, the Dodge Viper, and the previous-generation Corvette ZR1.

The 2013 New York Auto Show has just got underway, and already some of the major attractions have made their presence known. Overnight, cars like the new 2014 Cadillac CTS, 2015 Audi A3 and S3 and the CLA45 AMG were revealed, but there’s so much more to come. One of the most anticipated...

If you're like most of the modern world, you do a lot of your web browsing--including reading about cars--on the go, or at the least, not sitting in front of a traditional computer at a desk.

As we sit on the cusp of the press days of the 2013 New York Auto Show, there's still plenty going on that's non-show-related. First up is our first drive of the 2014 Lexus IS. It's much improved, and it's quite good--but is it good enough to hang with the new batch of luxury sport sedan...

The first images of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG have leaked onto the web--and it looks as good as its stats do. All-wheel drive, super-strong turbo four, and AMG style/luxury? It's a good mix. The Trans Am is back--sort of. Trans Am Depot has built a special Hurst Edition conversion of the...
