It might not seem like BMW has been selling its X5 for 14 years, but it has--the original debuted in 1999. Over the generations, the X5 has grown larger and higher-tech, but offered few "firsts" along the way. For the third-generation X5, that changes: this is the first BMW "sport activity vehicle" with available rear-wheel drive. That's right--the 2014 BMW X5 will be available in sDrive35i trim, driving the rear wheels only. All previous BMW X-Series vehicles have come with standard all-wheel drive. The rest of the 2014 X5 range continues with all-wheel drive, of course. The familiar--and...

Peugeot 208 T16 Readies For Pikes Peak: VideoThe path to the summit is almost completely paved these days, but that doesn't make the race up Pikes Peak any less thrilling or terrifying.

In the world of car tuning, a suitably impressive dyno sheet can be as important as the car itself. It's documentation of your--or at least your car's--awesomeness. But even a 1,000-whp dyno doesn't match this guy's dyno cred. He and his Shelby GT500 blew the dyno right up. On what appears to be a mobile dyno, the sort often trucked out to track days, car shows, and the like--in this case, the Expo Perfomance 24 in Quebec--a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible readies to show its roller-stomping might. As the driver begins to rev the car, the dyno operators stop him to make a final...

This may be the best racing finish of the year. Actually, it may be one of the best ever. The situation: the close of the Freedom 100 race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

At the line, it ended up with Dempsey's slingshot move...
