These days, seeing a car hit 200 mph isn’t all that special—there are American-made muscle cars and sports cars available for less than $150,000 that will do the deed. But 50 years ago, it was a serious feat, especially to do it in a quarter mile. MUST WATCH: This Is How You Test Wheelspin At 1,100 MPH: Video Not even today’s fastest supercars will do that. And while today’s top fuel dragsters will push well beyond 300 mph, watching “Big Daddy” Don Garlits do it with the tech of half a century ago in his Swamp Rat VI is still impressive. It’s all the...

Going fast on a private stretch of race track is quite enjoyable. Especially when there happens to be enough room to really let the car stretch its legs. That is why Volkswagen owns the Ehra-Lessien testing facility in Germany, which comes with a 5.4-mile long straight. It's also the perfect place to find the upper limits of a Bugatti Veyron. Sometimes though, an owner might get a chance to push his machine in a setting that's not quite as prepared for such an endeavor.

Our exclusive spy video of the new CTS-V confirms that the car will have a very aggressive sound. While a signature V-8 note is present, it’s not clear whether the engine features a supercharger or a turbo. Forced induction is expected...
