Earlier this week we brought you video of a Tesla Model S giving a 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray a run for its money on the straight strip. Today, there's no doubt the Model S will win--because it's racing another Model S. It's the quietest drag race ever. Leaving the line with little more than the squeal of the tires and the un-sticking from the surface, the two cars just whoosh down the 1320 with no drama--but plenty of speed, as both cars run in the mid-12s around 110 mph. We've seen some purpose-built electric drag cars that generate a bit more noise, a Jetson's-like whine from the...

Switzer Nissan GT-R Hits 1,212 HP On The DynoRunning 33 psi of boost is, by some standards, not all that extreme. Running 33 psi of boost in a flame-spitting Nissan GT-R built for the purpose by Switzer is nutty. Our kind of nutty. Like 1,212-horsepower nutty. Of course, that's horsepower at the crank. At the wheels you'll find...

BMW’s second-generation X6 crossover coupe has been spotted at the Nürburgring, and we’ve got an exclusive spy video of it. The vehicle, code-named the F16, rides on the same platform as the latest X5 and should feature the same engine lineup too.

The headlight and grille treatment is similar to what we see on the latest X5 and the interior is likely to match up as well. Under the hood, expect to see...
