  • Jeremy Clarkson thinks the Ford GT is like a mad Caterham

    A Caterham is one of the purest expressions of automotive driving heaven. The tiny, bare-bones British sports car is a nimble, open-air, lightweight machine that leaves you fully engaged in the act of driving. It's the sports car distilled to its basics. So, for Jeremy Clarkson to call the Ford GT a "mad Caterham," it means the man is heaping massive praise on the latest supercar from the Blue Oval. Clarkson spent some quality time with the new Ford while filming for the new season of the Amazon Prime series "The Grand Tour." While he, like many of us, felt that the GT could be a bit soft due...

  • 2017 Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6
    Hennessey’s F-150-based VelociRaptor 6x6 enters production

    Remember when Hennessey Performance revealed the utterly bonkers VelociRaptor 6x6 a year ago and announced plans to build it? Well, the company wasn’t kidding as it rolled out the first example in November at the 2017 SEMA show. And now customer examples are being built at Hennessey's...

  • Le Mans-winning 1965 Bizzarrini stops by Jay Leno's Garage
    Class-winning Le Mans racer rolls into Jay Leno's Garage

    If someone ever utters the phrase, "Do you want to see my class-winning Le Mans race car?" to you, the answer is always yes. It's unlikely that you'll hear such a phrase, however, unless your first name is Jay and your last one Leno. Such a phrase was said to Jay, and thankfully he answered...

  • 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
    2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1 can shoot flames from its exhaust

    When Chevrolet pulled the wraps off of the 2019 Corvette ZR1, a little nugget of information caught our attention. The brand claimed the 755-horsepower sports car would shoot flames from its exhaust, but it did not provide any evidence. Was it a quick puff of fire? A constant stream of fire spewing...

    Watch Jon Olsson cut the roof off his Mercedes-Benz G550 4×4

    Jon Olsson is living his best life. He's doing the things the rest of us wish we could do, and that includes traveling the world, excelling at a sport (he's a freeskier and ski racer), and earning lots of money to spend on toys. It's his toys that make us curious, as Olsson is known for buying and...

  • Chevrolet Tahoe PPV simulated car chase
    Ride along with the police on a high-speed car chase

    Every wonder what it's like to be in a car chase? I got the simulated chance at the Bob Bolen Public Safety Complex in Fort Worth, Texas. With officer Joe Stinger at the wheel of a Chevrolet Tahoe PPV, we chased a Ford Crown Victoria "rabbit" on a closed course. I sat in the front passenger seat...

  • 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trail Boss

    With its factory lift kit, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trail Boss that debuted Saturday at a surprise event deep in the heart of pickup country has big boots to fill. At Texas Motor Speedway outside Fort Worth, Texas, at an event to celebrate 100 years of Chevy pickup trucks, the automaker dropped a bombshell—albeit one without too many details. The 2019 Silverado 1500 debuted in a new Trail Boss trim level, one of eight Chevy says it will offer during the new Silverado's first year.

  • This is what the Lamborghini Urus sounds like
    Here's a taste of the Lamborghini Urus' exhaust note

    Folks are either going to love or hate it this thing. There's really no in between when it comes the Lamborghini Urus. After all, we're talking about a Lamborghini SUV. That means it packs everything polarizing about any modern Lamborghini, then upsizes it. There's more in-your-face paint, more...

  • This is how a pit stop works on a race car
    Here's how a race car pit stop works

    A pit stop can be a work of art or an exercise in tragedy. In Formula 1, they can be completed in mere seconds, while some racing series have mandated minimum times before a car can leave the pit lane. The folks at FCP Euro hung out at the edge of the pit to document the dance that is a racing pit...

  • 2018 Ford F-150
    Ford F-150 traces its pickup truck roots all the way to 1917

    The Ford F-150 is arguably one of the most iconic vehicles ever. Although the F-150 name arrived in 1975, the pickup traces its root to 1917 when Ford produced its very first pickup truck. From that day forward, the Ford pickup transformed how Americans looked at the automobile. We go back in time...

  • How Volvo is eliminating turbo lag
    Here's how Volvo says it is eliminating turbo lag

    Turbo lag is a defining characteristic of older forced-induction cars. These large turbochargers were used to feed high-performance engines and generate significant power. The problem would come when you called upon that power. Your right foot mashes the gas—then nothing. A shock of power...

  • Nissan mini car wash to test paint quality
    Nissan's mini car wash tests paint quality on a small scale

    For a large portion of the U.S., and around the world, the time for snow, slush, and ice is here. And that means drivers will line car washes ready to whisk away the muck, salt, and other debris. Nissan knows this and the brand employs the cutest little car wash you've ever seen to ensure car...

  • Apollo Intensa Emozione does burnouts in Hong Kong

    Apollo's utterly mad supercar, the Intensa Emozione, was recently filmed on the streets of Hong Kong where the driver decided a few quick burnouts were in order. It's also one of the few times we've heard the supercar running, and the closest we've gotten to hear the throttle mashed to the floor. And stomping the throttle reveals a rip-snorting pitch fit for cars only like the Intensa Emozione, or IE for short. The supercar's sound comes from a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V-12 with an output limited to 780 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. The figures are more than enough to pull off...

  • Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Superbird

    Some of the world's most interesting cars have the greatest stories behind them. The Dodge Daytona and the Plymouth Superbird are no different. At their core, they were built to shame Ford and Chevrolet in NASCAR, but Dodge was so adamant to ensure the car's success that it went through great engineering measures. Like, bringing on an individual from Chrysler's missile division to engineer the car. Yes, Chrysler had a missile division, as Donut Media recalled in its latest episode of "Up to Speed." Chrysler built ballistic missiles designed by Nazi scientists that the United States brought...

    What's the fastest you've ever gone in a car or on a motorcycle? It actually doesn't matter what your answer is, because it's nowhere near as fast as Niklas Lilja has gone. He's the Koenigsegg test driver who recently got to push an Agera RS to its limits. At the end of his driving day, Lilja and...
