Vehicle safety is arguably one of the lesser points looked at when shopping for a car. Consumers simply expect vehicles to be safe and protect occupants at all costs. No one likes to think about a car wreck, after all. The Australian New Car Assessment Program wants to remind drivers how far the...

Chuck Norris' popularity reigns supreme, even though the actor and martial artist hasn't been featured in a movie to television show since 2001. We can thank the internet and a steady flow of memes for his continued popularity. Perhaps thanks to all the Chuck Norris jokes, he has a new role with...

Subaru has more up its sleeves than Penn and Teller, it seems. The automaker confirmed a special version of its WRX STI, dubbed the Subaru WRX STI Type RA, would be heading stateside later this month, alongside a new BRZ variant. The June 8 announcement is part of a larger effort to expand the STI...

The internet is a strange place. Like a high school yearbook, some things are found only after flipping through a couple pages for a second, third, or fourth time. This video, which features a 2006 Dodge NASCAR race car, is from 2012, but seems to have only recently caught on. The video was shot at...

Brian Deegan may be an off-road racer, but he has a domestic life, too. In this fanciful video, his daughter Hallie informs him that it's time to do some yard work, which isn't really something that Brian is in the mood for. After an especially wet spit-take, he unleashes his own brand of "yard...

We need more hill climb events here in the United States. Why you ask? Well, first off that's a dumb question. Secondly, the reason it's dumb is because you don't understand the sort of twisted, mental machinery that shows up to compete in these things. A properly mad hill climb machine usually...

There is a 1965 Ford F100 in my garage. I've owned it for a few years, performed a few mechanical fixes and upgrades over the years, and I love my truck. It's a good "ten footer" and a pleasure to take on cruises. Jonathan Ward of Icon doesn't build "ten footers." He builds amazing machines to his...

A vessel somewhere in the United States must have arrived carrying some very precious cargo because, within a week, three of the four Lamborghini Centenarios destined for the U.S. have arrived stateside.

BMW's history of dedicated Art Cars—a practice started in 1975—has reached a new level of creativity with the latest iteration. Cao Fei, the creator of the #18 BMW M6 GT3 Art Car, imagined what you see here: a BMW Art Car with augmented reality. The M6 GT3 Art Car itself is a...

Motorsport provides a fun, challenging and highly-visible avenue for car development, and it’s a well-worn path Hyundai has taken for the first model from its recently-established N division. That first model is the i30 N, a high-performance version of the Golf-rivaling i30 hatchback. Sadly...
