  • 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

    It's finally here, folks, and it looks great. But will the handling and performance of the seventh-generation 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, plus the improved interior and redesigned exterior, make for a substantial upgrade over the outgoing--and very capable--car? The shape of the C7, as well as its return to the Stingray sub-title, hint at the past of the Corvette, bringing the best of its formative years into modern focus. Free of any played-out retro feel, while paying homage to its own history, the 2014 Corvette has managed a subtle balance--with not-so-subtle design cues. The round tail...

    Lincoln MKC Compact Crossover Concept Debuts In Detroit: Video

    In 2010 Lincoln confirmed plans for a new compact crossover positioned below its MKX, which, along with another compact car, would form the point of entry for the resurgent American luxury brand.

  • 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR on display at the Porsche Museum
    The Porsche Museum Shows Off The 911 RSR: Video

    Porsche has always believed in the value of racing cars to build better street cars, and nowhere is this more obvious than with the iconic Porsche 911.

  • Audi Piloted Driving demo--parking

    Autonomous cars, and the technologies that drive them, are the rage at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Aside from the gnawing fear and insecurity such cars instill in the pit of your stomach, they're pretty cool--as this Audi Piloted Driving demo proves. Here, you'll see a car drive itself into a parking garage, find a spot, and park itself--perfectly. Then, to put the icing on the robotic overlord cake, a simple nudge from a smartphone app calls the car back to pickup its owner. Sure beats wearing a seat-shaped costume and harassing drive-thru workers, doesn't it? Follow the...

  • Nissan's new Invisible Driver option
    Ghost Riders Get Hungry Too, But Where Do They Keep A Wallet? Video

    To be honest, no one aspires to a career in the fast-food-drive-through-window-food-delivery industry. The hours are long, the pay is lacking and customers can be less than appreciative of your efforts. It’s a great place to start a career, though, since you gain valuable lessons on hard...

  • 2013 Nissan GT Academy race at Dubai 24 Hours
    Nissan GT Academy Winners Race In Dubai This Weekend: Video

    For any of us who have ever nursed the fantasy of being paid to drive race cars--or even just having the cash and skill to pay our own way onto a track against the best in the world--the Nissan GT Academy is a sort of real-world fairy tale. For a handful of this year's winners from around the...

  • Ryan Tuerck drifts Philadelphia's FDR skate park
    Here's What Pro Drifters Do On Their Days Off: Video

    Have you ever wondered what pro drift drivers do to relax? When not pitching high-horsepower, rear-drive cars sideways for fun and profit, how do these guys burn off steam? If Ryan Tuerck is any indication, that downtime involves catching some local bands, knocking back a few Pabst Blue Ribbons as...

    'Inside Koenigsegg' Episode 1: Carbon Fiber

    If you're anything like us (and we think you are), it's pretty easy to lose a few hours in any given day down a web-searching rabbit hole like the production, use, and benefits of a material like carbon fiber--particularly as it applies to supercars and race cars. Here, we see exactly such a rabbit...

  • Don Garlits pilots the High Tech Systems LLC electric dragster

    In yet another installment of our Electric Cars Don't Have To Be Boring Snoremobiles series, we have "Big Daddy" Don Garlits hitting the drag strip in a 1,500-kilowatt (2,011-horsepower) electric drag racer. From burnouts to launches, this drag car looks like a wild ride. We're by no means the wicked talent Garlits is behind the wheel on a straight strip, but we'd sure like to take a pass in that thing. That "thing" is an electric dragster, called Swamp Rat 37, built by Lawless Industries, Ltd., and powered by a battery pack from High Tech Systems. Spotted over at Bangshift, the dragster is...

    Jay Leno Pits The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Against The LP 550-2: Video

    Lamborghini has just introduced its final update for the Gallardo before its successor arrives sometime in the next 12 to 18 months, but the previous models are still well worth the look if you’re in the market for a supercar you can drive everyday. This latest episode of Jay Leno’s...

  • Filming Porsche's 911 Carrera 4 promo videos
    Porsche Shows What It Takes To Film A Modern Car Ad: Video

    Filming a car commercial used to be a relatively easy task: all it took was the car, some pretty background scenery and a chase car, since the expectations of viewers watching on a low-resolution television set weren’t all that high. Truth be told, most car ads were filmed in studios, with no...

    Big Muscle Drives Its Host's Mopars: Videos

    Big Muscle host Mike Musto knows a thing or two about cars and driving. He’s an NASA instructor, he’s run events like Bullrun and One Lap of America and he’s been a Mopar muscle car guy for longer than we’ve known him. In other words, he practices what he preaches. Musto has...

    2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe & Cabriolet Preview: 2013 Detroit Auto Show

Accordingly, Mercedes-Benz has some more of the E Class range to bring us, as a sort of belated holiday gift: the 2014 E Class Coupe and...

  • MINI attempts first-ever unassisted backflip in a car

    So-called "extreme" sports--whether on skateboards, bicycles, or motorcycles--have made the backflip so commonplace we expect them to throw in a twist or some other flourish just to hold our interest. Not so with backflipping cars. In fact, not many have ever been done in any form. Here, MINI claims to attempt the first-ever "unassisted" backflip in a car--a heavily modified MINI John Cooper Works Countryman, to be exact. So--aside from the backflip itself--what makes this attempt so special? The lack of assist. People like Rhys Millen have done automotive backflips before (sometimes miffing...

    Driving Fast Not Your Thing? Porsche Lets You Co-Pilot, Too: Video

    Let’s be brutally honest with one another for a second: there’s a segment of the sports-car-buying population that has no interest whatsoever in actually driving fast; instead, they like the image that a fast and expensive sports car gives them. We’re not here to judge, and that...

    Kyle Busch's 2013 NASCAR Camry Gets Its Livery: Video

    Painting a NASCAR Sprint Cup car used to be a labor-intensive, time consuming process, which is why most teams carried a single livery (or paint scheme) throughout an entire season. Unless your primary sponsor changed, repainting a car for a single race wasn’t exactly cost-effective. The...
