Ever wanted to feel the rush of a Formula 1 car but didn’t want to spend the years of training to accomplish the skills needed to handle a car at the breakneck speeds the pros drive at? Thanks to the Ferrari Red Rush program, now you can. The program allows participants to sample the same...

It's part road rally, part charity drive--and this week for nearly 3000 MINI Cooper derivatives and their dedicated owners and fans, it's a chance to let MINI rule the road. While you're tussling with Excel spreadsheets or being micromanaged into insanity, thousands of MINI maniacs are heading...

Just last month we reported that Lamborghini was looking at the feasibility of launching not one but two new models, a new entry-level sports car and a high-performance SUV, but apart from some conjecture there were few solid details suggesting the new models would ever see the light of day. Fast...

So you really, really want to drive that new Ferrari 458 Italia--but there's that pesky problem of the two-year waiting list to buy one since it launched in summer 2009. Now Gotham Dream Cars, the exotic-vehicle rental firm with New York and Miami outlets, has acquired one. And you can rent it for...

Lotus is showcasing its most substantial presence ever during this week’s 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, with three new model unveilings including one world premier. The first is the new Lotus Exos Type 125, an F1 inspired 'Consumer Track Car' complete with a race-bred Cosworth V-8...

I was picking up a few familiar items from the auto parts store this week, getting ready to do some routine maintenance on my wife's car, and a break job for a friend. I got to thinking about what it will take to keep the next generation of automobiles running smoothly. It could change quite a bit...

Have you ever wondered if you've over-modified your car, crossed some boundary of good taste? Thank goodness, this ain't your car. Yesterday the gang at SportsCarMonitor showed you a homemade Batpod spotted rolling the mean streets of, uh, Palo Alto. Today, also from the streets of San Francisco...

Dear Marky Mark: Time is a cruel mistress, isn't she? Always in a rush, always aloof. You stop to tie your shoe, and by the time you look up, she's halfway down the block, ducking into Starbucks for another double-shot cappuccino with soy. (As if she needs more energy, right?) Heck, just look at...

  Hollywood doesn't call them remakes--they euphemize 'em as "reboots" these days. But with this fall's new version of the CBS classic, Hawaii Five-0 is trying to stay as authentic as possible with a raft of new Fords on screen--and at least one old one. CBS may be the only place you'll see a...

Exotic coupes are a dime a dozen -- actually, more like a million dimes each and up -- but inexpensive sporty hatch-coupes are a fading lot. From the ranks of the old Mitsubishi Eclipse, Toyota MR2, Acura Integra and even the Ford Probe and Mazda MX-6, we're down to a precious few two-doors you can...

Customized Bugatti Veyrons are almost as common as the cars themselves, which is to say not common at all. But this particular car, modified by Mansory, is less common than even most other custom Veyrons, so much so that you could say the new Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron is the ultimate in vehicle...

It's definitely an upgrade from a Lincoln Towncar.

It's not everyday that you're walking along the streets of town and you spot a Batman speeder bike, but that's just what happened to our own Jeff Birkeland, on University Avenue in Palo Alto, California, this afternoon. The speeding superhero was apparently in need of some caffeination, as the bike...

The affordable large car segment is starting to get just a little overcrowded, and in a time where customers all around the world are downsizing to smaller midsize models, performance, fuel-economy and overall value is now more important than ever. South Korea’s entrants in this field have...

We're just as curious as you are.

The news comes from a purchase letter received by a potential LFA owner.

The word on the Estoque from its concept debut was initially good, but then production rumors were quashed.

Remember that face? It's Tara Reid, the Neve Campbell of her generation. Ah, memories. We haven't heard much from Tara lately, apart from occasional tidbits about her ongoing plastic surgery troubles and certain photos unfit for family-friendly websites like this one (but which can easily be...

The announcement comes from GM, according to Scott Burgess' Twitter feed.

A few weeks ago Buick let slip that both a coupe and convertible were being considered for the Regal range. A few days later we brought you a preview of the hardtop two-door, and today, we have a preview of what the convertible version might look like. Roger McCormack, Buick's product marketing...
