  • 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom

    This is the strangest engine you've likely never heard about. Back in the late 1960s and early '70s, a number of automakers were experimenting with odd engine setups. Heck, that happens all the time, even today. This particular setup was quite odd, however, in that it was a diesel rotary. Making it odder still is that the automaker behind the madness was none other than Rolls-Royce. Not only was Rolls-Royce experimenting with diesel burnt in rotary form, the British marque was making use of a quad-rotor setup. But the engine didn't employ four rotors of the same size. For each pair of rotors...

  • Sam Schmidt listens during SEMA presentation on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
    Technology puts paralyzed racer back in the driver’s seat

    When a new hypercar builder arrives on the scene, it's met with lots of skepticism and eye rolling.

It's safe to say Subaru changed the U.S. automotive landscape with the WRX's introduction. And now, you can learn all about it thanks to Donut Media. Born from rally racing, the Subaru WRX, called the Impreza WRX for years, came to life on the rally stage in 1993. Subaru first ran the larger Legacy in rally...

  • A BMW E30 with an E46 engine catches air during a hill climb event
