  • Caterham AeroSeven Concept

    The original Lotus Seven was an inspired concept--completely, utterly minimalistic, in perfect keeping with Colin Chapman's "simplify, then add lightness" ethic. The new Caterham AeroSeven is an extension of that theme into modern Formula 1 technologies and methods. Built around the Caterham Seven CSR platform, wrapped a carbon fiber body designed not for aesthetics but for the flow of air over and around it, the Caterham AeroSeven is powered by the same engine found in the Caterham Seven 485, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates 237 horsepower. With the AeroSeven's low weight, that...

    Forza Motorsport 5 & McLaren 'FilmSpeed' Mesmerizes

    Teased yesterday, the collaboration between McLaren and Forza Motorsport 5 to create a flipbook-style animation from a series of still images strung around the perimeter of a race track, filmed from an MP4-12C has come to life. This is Forza FilmSpeed. We can't really imagine a more impractical way...

    McLaren MP4-12C GT3 Loses Steering In Eau Rouge, Crashes: Video

    There's basically never a good time to lose steering in a race car when you're blasting at 10/10ths around a track. There's also basically no place worse to lose steering than in the high-speed Eau Rouge corner at Spa Francorchamps. Eau Rouge has claimed more than a few drivers' lives in the past...

    McLaren And Forza Motorsport Team Up For Giant Flip-Book Animation

    Remember flip books? If you're over 30 years of age, you probably played with them as a kid. You know, before we all had GameBoys in our pockets. A bunch of images are drawn on successive pages, and when you flip through them, an animated scene comes to life. Now imagine doing that with a McLaren...

  • BMW's scary bank-robbing clowns love ConnectedDrive

    Even if you thought the new trend of allowing in-car web browsing could lead to some dangerous situations, you probably weren't thinking as far ahead as BMW is. Here, we see a trio of frighteningly clown-masked bank robbers getting some help from their getaway driver, confirming they are, in fact, at the bank they intend to rob. BMW captions this disturbing bit of imagery with the following: "The innovative BMW ConnectedDrive Services & Apps are your useful companions in everyday life and beyond. How you use them is up to you. At the end of the day, you can rely on BMW ConnectedDrive."...

    If you're a fan of F1, you're probably pretty familiar with what an F1 car is made of. But do you know how it's made? Probably not. Fortunately, Red Bull Racing and Infiniti have decided to let us in on the less secretive parts of the process through a new video series. This is the first part. The...

    There are times in life when we've all wanted to just stand on the throttle and smash our way through traffic, but few of us have been stupid or desperate enough to actually do it. This driver was apparently both. The YouTube posting describes the driver as a drunk woman, but gives no other...

  • Porsche 918 Spyder

    With a blistering 6:57 lap of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife already under its belt, Porsche's 918 Spyder may be capable of still faster laps, says the driver who clocked the record-setting run. Porsche factory racing driver Marc Lieb spoke with Australia's Drive recently, saying he thinks the 918 Spyder has more in the bag. While it's not clear from the video of the run where Lieb would find the time, he suggests further development before the car's first deliveries could find yet more pace. Going to racing slicks could also shave seconds per lap, says Lieb. He also admits he wasn't...

    Tesla Model S Cranks Out 428 Horses At The Wheels: Video

  • Nissan Patrol with custom backseat driving modification by King of Customs in Dubai
    Center-Steer, Back-Seat Driving Nissan Patrol: Crazy Insane, Or Insane Crazy?

    There's nothing about this Nissan Patrol that makes sense. We love it while hating it. What's so different? There are no driver controls in the front row. They've been relocated to the center-mounted second row. Why? We're not sure the guys (at King of Customs in Dubai) who built it know. They...

  • Texan couple owns 65 Viper supercars

    It’s not uncommon to find an individual or couple with an assortment of cars tucked away in a private garage. Some famous examples include comedian Jay Leno and the Sultan of Brunei. What is quite rare, however, is to meet collectors whose entire collection is made up of the same car. That’s the case for the Texan couple featured in this video from eGarage (via Autoblog), whose garage is stocked with no less than 65 Vipers. To be fair, the couple, Wayne Rauh and wife D’Ann, have over 100 cars, so their collection is not only limited to Vipers, but it still boggles the mind...
