  • Jensen Interceptor
    Muscle machine: Jay Leno drives a 1974 Jensen Interceptor

    Historic British carmaker Jensen is enjoying a second life these days. Its flagship model—and best seller—was the big, V-8-powered Interceptor that was built between 1966 and 1976 and just over 6,000 were made. That may sound like a lot, but at just a few hundred per year, the...

  • Rimac Concept_One faces off against a Bugatti Veyron
    How does the Rimac Concept_One fare against a Bugatti Veyron?

    The Bugatti Veyron may no longer be the king of internal combustion horsepower. The Bugatti Chiron's 1,480 horses now takes the production horsepower crown, but 1,200 ponies kicked out by a quad-turbocharged W-16 is still plenty. But how does it compare to 1,088 electron-induced horses? Matt Rimac...

To that end, he's created a list of his top five best first mods for any vehicle. It's a simple list but it makes a great deal of sense, and Jason is good at explaining his reasoning behind each item on the list. ALSO SEE: What is the best mod for faster lap times? It all starts with tires. This shouldn't be a shock. A good set of tires will take a good...

    Monster 1971 Toyota Celica makes more than 1,100 horsepower

    An old Toyota Celica is a classically cool machine with a healthy cult following. What it doesn't have is an overly powerful engine bolted in from the factory.

You'll protest and decry that all-seasons get the job done, or that it doesn't matter because you have...

  • A brake rotor explodes in slow motion

    We agree that the internet is largely useless beyond Craigslist throwdowns and videos of things exploding/blending/deconstructing/crashing. Entertaining the masses used to be as simple as popping a high-dollar item into a powerful blender, but now the crowds demand hydraulic presses raining high-pressure destruction upon pretty much anything. This is sort of like the automotive equivalent of that idea. Here we have a brake rotor pushed far harder than it normally would go, and the result is high heat and a violent end. Using an older Ford Fiesta, the team in charge of this YouTube channel pop...

  • Jay Kay has a green LaFerrari and it was spotted driving on full-electric mode

    We've seen proof of it before, but now we have even more. You're quite aware of the trio of cars being referred to as the Holy Trinity. One of those three is the LaFerrari. Ferrari claims there's no need for an electric-only mode since it "doesn't fit the mission of the car." Seems it fits the mission just fine if you're a valued customer who wants the unlock code required to access all-electron driving. Musician Jay Kay fits into that box because his bright green LaFerrari was spotted running silently. ALSO SEE: Lamborghini Aventador S revealed with 730 horsepower The car was spied roaring...
