Need For Speed games, like the Fast and Furious movies they mimicked for a few years in the mid-2000s, are a bit of a guilty pleasure. The crazy driving, running from the police and modifying your car is all a bit of a release after another stressful day. And the new game, Need For Speed Rivals...

And now for something (maybe not so) completely unexpected. First, how does a Camaro ZL1 on bias ply slicks lose it altogether midway down a drag strip? Our bet is a poor shift of some sort--either a 3-2 instead of a 3-4 or a really brutal upshift. So maybe that's not so inexplicable. But what...

Killing the planet has never looked this awesome, except for every time a raced-out big rig does its physics-defying thing. Here, the big rig is a Banks Super Turbo race truck, and it's being piloted up Pikes Peak by Mike Ryan. ALSO SEE: Sébastien Loeb Obliterates Pikes Peak Record: Video...

Dick Van Dyke, famous for his roles in the Mary Poppins movie as well as television series The Dick Van Dyke Show and Diagnosis: Murder, had to pull over when a Jaguar XJ he was driving down a Los Angeles highway yesterday caught fire.

It would be scary enough seeing a car flipping into the air in front of you, but imagine if it were a speeding truck. That’s exactly what some drivers in Russia witnessed recently, when a truck barreling down the road loses control, crashes into a ditch and then does a backflip. After viewing...

Despite the best efforts of numerous other challengers, it was a relatively obscure American classic that won the prestigious Best of Show award at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The award went to a 1934 Packard 1108 Twelve Dietrich Convertible Victoria, owned by Joseph...

Last year, Audi reinterpreted the Herman Melville novel Moby Dick to help promote the surefootedness of its quattro all-wheel-drive system in a new ad. The famous white whale of Melville's classic was depicted as an Audi A6, which remained elusive to Ahab, a tow truck driver whose job it was to...

Some might say it’s sacrilege to turbocharge a Ferrari, unless the factory already has, but it’s hard to make a case when you get performance numbers like those of Hennessey’s new twin-turbocharged Ferrari 458 Italia. The Texan tuner’s latest package for the Italian...

Rocky is the road that has led to the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28's production. Rumored for release years ago, with General Motors choosing to offer a ZL1 and then a 1LE, all but the most faithful Z/28 fans had given up hope that we’d ever see a modern Camaro bearing the alphanumerical...
