Airports can be stressful enough without the nuisance of parking at them. It's rarely cheap, always crowded and invariably miles from the terminal you need to fly from. In Germany though—or at least at one German airport—things are a little different. Düsseldorf airport is trialing a system called Ray, which aims to make airport parking as quick, easy and pleasant as possible. MUST SEE: Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Burnout Battle: 1,414 HP Video Ray currently covers just a section of Düsseldorf's parking areas, but successful trials could mean wider application. And we...

Electric Miata Smokes Tesla Model S P85: VideoIt’s no secret that one of the great keys to speed is lightness, and the Miata has that in spades—even when converted to electric drive as the drag monster in this video is.

Long-haul truckers may not be too happy to hear it but according to Daimler board member Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, "The truck of the future is a Mercedes-Benz that drives itself." These are no hollow words either, as the German automaker has completed its first public road test of an autonomously-driven truck. Given the slightly uninspiring name, "Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025", the autonomous truck took control over a section of the A14 Autobahn near Magdeburg in Germany, driving itself at speeds of up to 85 kmh (53 mph) in realistic driving conditions. ALSO SEE: 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT...

This 1987 BMW E30, fully prepped and boosted, is fierce little machine. The restrained fury with which it attacks Pikes Peak is even fiercer. Putting about 480 horsepower to the rear wheels and weighing in at just 2,340 pounds, Tim Hardy’s turbo E30 made the climb in just 10:44.650. The time was good enough for fifth place in TA1 and 25th place overall. While it’s not the fastest run up the mountain, the footage is some of the best we’ve seen, conveying the raw peril, serious cojones, and massive skill involved in making it to the top of the mountain. Hat tip to Chris E.!
