Well advanced compared to their competition, the Grand Prix cars launched in the early 1930s by Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union, nicknamed the “Silver Arrows” because of their unpainted aluminum bodies, are the stuff of legend. The cars were considerably faster than other Grand Prix racers...

Ferrari’s Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is no longer in production, replaced by the all-new F12 Berlinetta which is about to start deliveries in the coming months. However, despite being yesterday’s news, the 599 GTB is still a highly desirable exotic, and like most Ferraris it’s also a...

Since its unveiling in 2007, Nissan’s GT-R supercar has continued to evolve, with engineers putting it through some of the harshest conditions in order to help them fine tune the car over the remainder of its life. One such test was the Nürburgring 24 Hours held earlier this year...

We have to thank the ever-present threat of insurance fraud for Russia's dashcam video boom, or we might never have seen these gun-wielding Russians chasing a hit-and-run driver until it ends in a crash and a foot chase. If you listen closely near the beginning of the video when the chasing car...

Just in case you’ve never seen an F1 race in person or on television, we’ll warn you in advance: the unmuffled engines of Formula One cars are loud. They’re also extremely high-strung, which is why teams go through as many engines as FIA rules allow in the course of a single...

Buick priced the 2013 Verano Turbo from just a tick under $30,000. At 250 horsepower, 0-60 mph in 6.2 seconds, and 31 mpg highway, is that a bargain, or a bad bet? Nissan's Project 370Z is complete, and it's a turbocharged, built suspension, big-brake version of the Z car, specced out by fans as a...

A masked prototype of the Buick Regal’s European twin, the Opel Insignia, has been testing in Europe for the past several months, suggesting that an update for the car is planned. This makes sense as the Insignia, which first went on sale in 2008, is about due for its mid-cycle update. While...

As the name implies, a supercar is suppose to thrill its owner in every possible regard. While Spyker’s C8 Aileron is said to be a big improvement over the old C8, power output is still a relatively modest (by supercar standards) 405 horsepower. That’s less than you get in a new Ford...

Audi’s latest R18 Le Mans prototype, which this year won the illustrious 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, has no rear window. However, anyone piloting the advanced race car still has a clear view of what’s happening out back thanks to new technology installed by Audi engineers: the...

Whether you're into NASCAR in general or not, the road races the series runs often provide spectacular racing--unafraid of some contact, hustling big machines, and with hired-gun road course specialists making appearances, they get us fired up even when we're sick of the ovals. If you're like us...

This lightly-used Lexus LFA apparently didn't meet its owner's requirements--or the owner didn't meet Lexus'.

The Bloodhound SSC is fairly mental all on its own: basically, a jet without wings intended to skim the surface of a salt lake bed. The driver, accordingly, is slightly more mental--especially since he plans to take it to about 1,000 mph. That man is Andy Green, shown here racing with Chris Harris...
