  • Assetto Corsa Nissan GT-R GT3

    Oh to have a powerful computer. We're assuming you need to have a solid machine in order to produce the kind of visuals we're seeing from YouTuber David Massieux. He recently posted a video showing his in-car view as he piloted a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 around the 24-hour race layout at Nürburgring. The results are pretty remarkable as it's a visual delight delivered by the graphics of the Assetto Corsa sim.

    New 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Trailer Reveals Even More Vehicular Mayhem: Video

    Max Rockatansky is back, only this time he’s played by Tom Hardy instead of Mel Gibson, and it’s not gasoline that’s scarce in his world but water. We are, of course, talking about the fourth installment of the Mad Max franchise, Mad Max: Fury Road, which hits theaters on May 15...

  • 2015 Aston Martin Vantage GT12
    Aston Martin Vantage GT12 Made Official, Still Not Coming To U.S.

    Aston Martin chose to rename its track-focused Vantage GT3 the Vantage GT12 after Porsche complained about the car’s usage of “GT3” in its title, which it would seem the German automaker has exclusive rights to when it comes to road-going applications (GT3-badged cars from other...

    Lexus LFA Supercar's Tech ‘Halo’ Improving All Products, Says Exec

    The Lexus LFA supercar was a long time coming; and when it appeared on the market in late 2010 as a performance icon for the Lexus brand—years later and far more expensive than originally intended—there was definitely a lot more to this model than chasing Ferrari and Lamborghini. The...

  • 2015 Tesla Model S P85D Supercharging in Rocklin, California, Feb 2015

    You might expect Stephen King to employ a more sinister analogy to describe the wicked performance of his Tesla. But rather than writing it "was killer," "went like a bat out of Hell," or had "demonic power," this morning on Twitter, the horror writer chose to compare his electric car to the workhorse of George Lucas' Rebel Alliance, the X-Wing fighter. The Verge first noticed his post, and while details are scarce—they're all literally contained in a 127-character tweet—the performance figures seem to rule out King's use of the older Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] model, the Roadster...

    Porsche Ready For 2015 World Endurance Championship With New 919 Hybrid: Video

    MINI Hints At Future Tech With Augmented Vision Concept: Video

    Augmented Reality, where your normal view is ‘augmented’ by computer-generated sensory input, typically via a headset- or glasses-type device, hasn’t quite caught on in the mainstream just yet, but we’re starting to see more and more companies dabble in the field. One of...

  • 1937 Talbot-Lago Type 150 CS
    Stunning 1937 Talbot-Lago Type 150 CS Stops By Jay Leno's Garage: Video

    Pre-war Art Deco cars are some of the most beautiful machines ever constructed. But even when viewed amid the rarified air of contemporary French luminaries like Delage, Bugatti and Delahaye, the 1937 Talbot-Lago Type 150 CS can only be described as a breathtaking design achievement. While...

  • Polish Fast & Furious parody is hilarious
    Fast & Furious & Polish: Hilarious Parody Video Terrorizes Polish Countryside

    Look out, here comes trouble...err, a Trabant. And a couple of Fiats. And a bunch of Poles with a budget that’s roughly 1/1,000,000th that of the actual Furious 7, but at least as much humor. “Ugly and angry, that rural action movies!” declares the YouTube description for this...

    When enthusiasts consider Chevrolet's Camaro, classic designs, tire-shredding burnouts, and track-tuned Z/28s spring to readily to mind. Green technology? Not so much. But the Department of Energy and partner General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] have made the iconic piece of American iron the focus of...

  • Drone footage of the 2015 New York Auto Show

    This is the first-ever drone footage from inside the New York Auto Show, and it’s stunning. Having just spent the better part of last week roaming the halls and displays, we can confirm: it’s a lot prettier without the thronging crowds blocking every sight line. The footage comes from a quiet evening just before Friday’s public sneak preview—a state of repose the show doesn’t often see between the opening of press days and the closing of public access. In other words, this is the best view you’re likely to get, even if you do make it to the show in person...

  • Tanner Foust Racing / Rockstar Volkswagen Passat Formula Drift 2015

    Let’s get this out of the way: Passats don’t drift. Passats are front-drive family cars “Built for the family that’s going places,” although they also somehow have “Performance that makes a track out of a road,” (while cautioning you to “Always obey speed and traffic laws”). Even the most powerful Passat packs just 280 horsepower. ALSO SEE: How To Drive Like An A$$hole: Video So what the hell is Tanner Foust doing drifting a 900-hp, rear-drive, 200-shot nitrous 7.4-liter V-8 monster that is most definitely not a Passat but sort of looks...

  • Furious 7 Off-Road Charger
    Off-Road Charger Is Our 'Furious 7' Dream Car Come True: Video

    I'm in love with the idea of a vehicle that can pretty much go anywhere it wants. On the other hand, a classic muscle car is on my bucket list of "Must Own Before I Go" vehicles. That's why I'm absolutely head over heels for one of the hero cars in the new Furious 7 film. ALSO SEE: Fast And Furious...
