A very rare convertible version of the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona has crashed in Germany, with the driver of the car claiming the brakes failed. Sadly, the damage looks to be rather severe, with the classic Ferrari, of which only 122 examples were ever made with the convertible body, hitting a tree...

Jay Leno is not a Ferrari guy, or more specifically, he’s not a modern Ferrari guy. His issue with cars like the Ferrari 458 Italia is simple: there’s nothing under the hood that an owner can turn wrenches on, as all service needs to be done by an authorized Ferrari dealer. Older...

Ferrari’s 250 GT series debuted at the 1956 Geneva Motor Show, bodied by Boano and for sale to the public for homologation purposes. Racing versions of the car, known as ‘berlinettas,’ were bodied by Scaglietti using thin-walled aluminum, minimal interior appointments and plastic...

It will come with a choice of three supercharged engines, including two V-6s and a V-8...

We first told you about a planned roadster version of Alfa Romeo’s upcoming 4C sports car in March of 2011. Since then, there hasn’t been much to report on the open-top sports car, although Fiat has done a good job of dropping the occasional teaser on the 4C coupe. Now Autocar, citing...

The second episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is out, and while it's as funny and offbeat as the first episode with Larry David, the most interesting aspect of the new episode is Ricky Gervais' obvious fear and discomfort in the passenger seat of a 1967 Austin-Healey 3000...

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...

To promote its refreshed 2013 370Z, Nissan solicited fan feedback on its Nissan Performance Facebook page to create the world’s first crowdsourced 370Z track car. Since Kicking off what it called "Project 370Z," Nissan has shown us two videos of the car under assembly, and now we get to see a...

BMW’s Z3 roadster, built from 1996 - 2002, wasn’t exactly the Bavarian automaker’s finest effort. Essentially a parts-bin car, it’s primary claim to fame was affordability, and it was relatively successful in bringing the BMW roundel into a new batch of buyers’...

It’s going to be a while before you can walk into your local Chevy dealer and drive away in a 2014 Corvette. Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated Corvette model in history, the C7 has been the subject of rumor, innuendo and threatened lawsuits for the better part of the past two years. Now...
