  • Allan McNish and the Audi team prepare for the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans

    The biggest endurance race of the season is coming this Saturday and Sunday, but before the green flag waves, we need to take a look at the all-important qualifying results. Final qualifying runs from last night's sessions have seen the order tweaked, but not truly changed, especially at the top, where Audi's Loic Duval has kept the #2 R18 e-tron quattro on pole from the times logged in the first session. When asked about the qualifying lap today at the Audi press conference at Le Mans, Duval explained that weather and traffic played a role, but ultimately, "It was lucky in a way, and it was...

Available in 428i form with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or 435i form with a 3.0-liter turbocharged in-line six-cylinder, the 4-Series Coupe comes standard with rear-wheel drive and a...

  • Need for Speed Rivals

    We're big fans of hauling the mail on track, but we have learned to rein in our wilder tendencies on the street. That's why games like Need for Speed Rivals are such a good outlet for our excess hooliganism. From the scenes in this official trailer for the upcoming E3 electronics and video game conference, the game appears to offer a level of realism and detail--in looks, if not in consequences--that will help suspend your disbelief as you work out your road-going frustrations. As a bonus, there's the added fun of sticking it to the cops (or the crooks, if that's your thing). For more on the...
