Getting a parking ticket is one of the low points of car ownership. We've all been there at some point--misreading a sign, accidentally staying too long or simply hoping we'd get away with a temporary indiscretion. You aren't alone--a certain Hillary Clinton, former First Lady and ex-U.S. Secretary...

We were lucky enough to get some time with the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 at a track recently. We weren’t able to drive the car unfortunately, but going for a ride shotgun is easily the next best thing. Volvo performance partner Polestar is following up last year’s enhanced S60 sedan...

the second Corvette Stingray crash in as many weeks shows that owners may be getting a little too enthusiastic.

Even if it weren't home to the Nürburgring Nordschleife and dozens of iconic performance cars, Germany would still be a mecca for car enthusiasts due to its selection of de-restricted Autobahn freeways. Hitting triple-figure velocities without falling foul of the law is a speed freak's dream...

In mid-2012, normally-conservative Volvo unveiled an S60-based concept, built with tuning partner Polestar, that was anything but ordinary. Boasting some 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque from its turbocharged 3.0-liter six, the car was a slap in the face of convention. Initially, it was...

Not long ago, we brought you details on Walkinshaw Performance’s new W375 kit for the HSV’s Gen-F range of muscle sedans, which focused on naturally aspirated power. Walkinshaw is now back with two new supercharged kits for the HSVs as well as the regular Holden Commodore SS-V, to be...

A woman from Utah is lucky to be alive after the Mercedes-Benz she was driving was struck by not one but two trains. Amazingly, the 29-year-old was able to walk away from the wreckage with only a broken arm. The video below, sourced from Liveleak, initially shows the Mercedes after it was struck by...

The latest proposed C02 emissions mandate put forward by the European Commission, which calls for a reduction of corporate average C02 to just 95 g/km by 2020, down from a current level of 130 g/km, has been criticized by Germany’s major automakers, primarily because their respective lineups...

Chevrolet told us... We were told that the automaker would only bring back the Z/28 moniker if there was a car that warranted the badge. You can't simply slap together a few performance bits, gather some marketing folk to drum up a cliche-laden press release, and then shove a poorly thought out...

At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show back in March, Spyker revealed a concept version of a new, more accessible sports car the company was planning, the B6 Venator. At the time of its unveiling, Spyker said the B6 Venator was powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine delivering more than 375 horsepower. Since the...

The Pagani Huayra might be too classy for an online configurator, but even a 700-horsepower supercar comes with an options list. The Supercar Kids (via World Car Fans) reportedly have it. While we're not 100-percent sure of the list's authenticity, the prices listed for options are pretty amusing...

Yesterday we learned that Aston Martin remained committed to the comeback of its Lagonda brand, despite it being four years since the automaker first announced Lagonda’s comeback and little progress made in the area. But rather than launch Lagonda as a separate brand as originally envisaged...

Chevrolet has come out with an official Nürburgring lap time for its track-focused Camaro Z/28. The time is quicker than that of a Porsche 911 Carrera S and an Audi R8 V10, but Chevy is confident the car can go even faster. Mazda is yet to make mention of a Mazdaspeed version of its new 3 but...

BMW is in the process of updating several crucial models as it aggressively attempts to maintain its market leadership in the luxury segment. Recently, we brought you details on the facelifted 2014 BMW 5-Series range, and now we have new images of a facelifted 2015 BMW X3. With the second...

British racing driver Sean Edwards, son of 1970s Formula One driver Guy Edwards, died earlier today in an accident that took place during a driver training course on a race track near the Australian city of Brisbane. Edwards, 26, was in the passenger seat of a Type 996 Porsche 911 when its...

Hyundai will use its return to WRC in 2014 to help promote a new performance sub-brand the Korean automaker has in the works. The focus will initially be on the European market, where WRC is primarily run, but eventually we could see some of the go-fast Hyundais launched under the performance...

BMW’s M Performance range of go-fast parts and accessories aren’t designed strictly for BMW’s regular models, but can also be used to enhance the automaker’s dedicated M cars. In fact, BMW first used the M3 to test the waters with its new M Performance branding and now...

Mazda has just unveiled a stylish new generation of its popular Mazda 3 hatchback and sedan but hasn’t--officially--made mention of a high-performance Mazdaspeed version just yet. We’ve heard through the grapevine however that a Mazdaspeed 3 (a Mazda 3 MPS to readers outside the U.S.)...

In developing the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, engineers were almost entirely focused on track capability, and it appears their endevors have paid off as the car has now lapped Germany’s Nürburgring, one of the toughest tracks on the planet, in a time of 7:37.47. That might not sound very...

Not many can claim to be a guru of any one subject. These people do, of course, exist and the things that folks can claim to be extreme experts about is presented on a rather wide range. If you're a guru about radish farming, we're not terribly interested to hear more. If, however, you're a guru in...
