  • 1964 Shelby Cobra 289

    Classic Shelby muscle was the theme at a large Mecum auction in Indianapolis last weekend, where a pair of Cobras each reached seven figures during bidding. Highlighting the sale was a 1967 Cobra 427, a recently-restored example that shows just a hair over 20,000 original miles. That Cobra sold for $1.1 million, while a 1964 with the 289 cubic inch V-8 was bid up to $1 million later in the day. That '64 model was highly-optioned and was swathed in a striking silver-blue over red leather scheme.

  • Ariel Nomad

    You've always wanted an Ariel Atom, the ultra-light, no-frills track car... but you happen to live down a dirt road. Well, TMI AutoTech and Ariel have teamed up to bring you the Ariel Nomad, a more rugged (and even more insane) version of the Atom. Now officially available in the United States, the Nomad shares its exo-skeleton bones and lightweight design with the Atom (shown below), but it turns things up a notch or six for use when the pavement runs out. Two models are available, the $80,000 Sport, and the $92,250 Tactical. Opting for the pricier Nomad brings to the table Ohlins dampers...

  • 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at the Nürburgring

    The sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro is a great leap forward for this sporty muscle car. It's now on the Alpha platform, it's dropped weight, and it's packing a Corvette heart under its hood. The standard Camaro SS is pretty hot, but the upcoming 2017 ZL1 is equipped with something a bit more nuclear. Lift the hood, and you'll find the same 640-horsepower LT4 supercharged V-8 that you'd find in a Cadillac CTS-V. It should be even more bonkers here with the Camaro, and to test that out Chevy has its engineers running laps on a quiet toll road in Germany. DON'T MISS: 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1...
