The futuristic DeltaWing racer, originally proposed as a new chassis for Indy Car, last saw action at this year’s running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A fan favorite (because everyone loves an underdog), the Nissan-powered DeltaWing was retired by a crash early in the event. Despite an epic...

The 2012 running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb took place this Sunday, and even though the finish had to be moved down part way through the day due to weather (only the third time in the race's history) Rhys Millen set a new record, and our friend Jeremy Foley had a major crash (but...

Yesterday, while many of his friends were autocrossing near Dallas, Texas, they were thinking about Jeremy Foley. Why? Because he'd be running up Pikes Peak in a 560-plus-horsepower (at the wheels) Mitsubishi Evolution by Evolution Dynamics. That's Most of our idea of a very good day. But...

Lincoln may be Ford’s in-house luxury brand, but don’t expect to see a flagship concept like Cadillac’s stunning Ciel from it in the near future. Instead, Lincoln’s product plan calls for a focus on building competitive products for the highest volume luxury segments. While...

First teased as a concept in 2011, Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV), the official tuner to Ford in Australia, has released a new special edition model based on its line of Falcon GT muscle sedans.

The Range Rover SUV is crucial for Land Rover as it's not only the model that best defines the brand, but it’s also the one that most of Land Rover’s other vehicles are based on. Models like the Range Rover Sport, LR4 (Discovery) and LR2 (Freelander) all share their basic design and...

Nissan's made little secret of its plans to launch a range of performance models developed together with its in-house tuner and motorsports partner Nismo. The first of these have already been revealed in the form of the Nismo 370Z sold in the U.S. and other select markets, and more recently the...

That recurring dream, the one that scares the whee out of even 50-year-olds, unfurls from my brain and falls right into my lap as soon as I plug in Audi's jaunty little USB jump drive into the black box. Is there a test this morning? 'Cause I forgot to study last night, and there's no way I'm...

We love cars: new, old, weird, fast, whatever--they're fun. But they can also be funny. That's the premise behind the new web comic Stuck In Reverse, and it pulls the idea off surprisingly well. Lampooning various cars and aspects of the industry, it's a dry and witty take on the past, present, and...

Audi and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati both have a history of tackling the Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb. Now that the brands are under one roof, it makes perfect sense to use this year’s event to highlight both Audi’s newest sports car, the RS5, and Ducati’s fastest...

It seems we know all there is to know about the upcoming Jaguar F-Type roadster. Unlike Jaguars of recent years (excluding the surprisingly hard-edged XKR-S), it will be focused more on handling than on luxury. It will come with a choice of three supercharged engines, including two V-6s and a V-8...

The team at Hennessey Performance never let us down when it comes to high-horsepower fun. Here, we see what a Lamborghini Aventador eats for a light snack: A Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. Played out over the course of a one-mile drag race, but over and finished before more than a few hundred feet...

The beauty of a barn find is this: sometimes you don’t even know what you have until you start the process of disassembly. Take the case of a 1965 Shelby DragonSnake Cobra for example: when purchased by a collector last year, he believed it to be one of six built. As it turns out, the car was...

This week our news stories included everyone from Ricky Gervais to Chris Harris, but along the way we brought you some pretty awesome photos, too.. In fact, we've chosen the cream of the crop this week just for you. Our favorite photos this week ended up including mostly vintage vehicles rather...

As we move closer and closer to a future that involves fully autonomous cars, it’s becoming clear that systems developed for the self driving cars of tomorrow are making cars of today safer. Recent studies prove that technologies like collision detection, lane departure warning, adaptive...

Running a major automaker involves lots of hard work and plenty of long hours, but rank hath its privileges. In addition to the six-or-seven figure salary plus stock options, it’s pretty much a given that the CEO gets to pick any car (or really, any cars) from the company catalog to drive...
