Back in June, we told you about a contest tied to Ford’s latest Mustang customizer website that would award four lucky designers the Mustang of their dreams. The process was simple enough: choose a Mustang, customize it within your allotted points and then turn it loose on the internet for...

Engineers are hard at work testing prototypes for the next-generation Infiniti G sedan, which will be making its official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January before (hopefully) reaching showrooms sometime next summer. We recently brought you some spy shots of those prototypes but...

With only five examples in existence, this is probably the only way you’ll get to see the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary race car in action. This latest video shows the car in its natural home, although we bet most owners won’t be tracking their examples. Why? Because the...

David Higgins is, if you're not familiar, the 2012 RallyAmerica National Champion driver (along with co-driver Craig Drew), and the lead wheelman in Subaru Rally Team USA's efforts. He's therefore, by definition and demonstration, one bad-ass driver. But in rally, it's not all about the driver (or...

This isn't the first time a race car has been crashed hard and fixed overnight. It's not even the most dramatic repair job we've seen done under the same conditions. But it's still damned impressive. Here, you'll see the Nissan DeltaWing/Highcroft Racing team strip down and rebuild most of the rear...

German automakers seem to have two absolute rules: there is no such this as “too complex,” and Americans don’t buy hatchbacks. We can’t comment on the first point, but as for the second, well, that means we miss out on some of the best compact cars Germany has to offer. Case...

We’ve all been there: one minute you’re kicking back, sipping Dom Perignon from the navel of a “relaxation specialist,” wondering if her fee can be counted as a business expense on your taxes, and the next you’re wearing a black hood in the back of a clapped-out...

Yesterday we brought you the news that the Nissan DeltaWing racer had been involved in its second at-speed crash, this time colliding with a GTC Porsche 911 in practice for Saturday’s ALMS Petit Le Mans. At this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, the experimental car was take out of contention by a...

For those that had expected a totally new Lexus concept to come forth down under, we're sorry: this is the LF-LC Blue Concept, which is primarily different from the LF-LC shown at Detroit this year in color only. We do, fortunately, get a single new spec, however, finally elucidating the power of...

In 2005, Porsche returned to sports prototype racing after a six-year absence, debuting its RS Spyder in the American LeMans Series LMP2 class. In 2006, its first full season, the Porsche RS Spyder dominated the ALMS LMP2 class, easily taking home the class championship. The car was so good that it...

It seems that pitting a supercar against a jet aircraft never goes out of style. Depending upon the length of the course and the vehicles involved, sometimes victory goes to four wheels, while other times it goes to two wings. Car versus rotary-wing aircraft (aka helicopter) throw-downs are a bit...

A few weeks ago Nissan revealed a special Leaf prototype, which was able to park itself, sans driver, thanks to Nissan’s own autonomous driving system. It turns out this was just a teaser for more comprehensive autonomous driving technology from the Japanese automaker, which it plans to start...

There are many that are quick to deride the Cayenne as being not all that sporty, but we bet a quick spin behind the wheel of the latest 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S will silence those doubters. This latest video shows the car hitting a track just outside the Cayenne’s production facility in...

Codenamed Project Ultraviolet, one of Chrysler's next SEMA specials is a Challenger SRT8 built in cooperation with Mopar, SRT, and ... Jeff Dunham. If you're wondering what a ventriloquist/comedian has to do with muscle cars, you're certainly not alone. The question may or may not be answered after...

From a profitability perspective, hiring a pro drifter to run factory tours probably isn’t the best idea. Even a driver like Vaughn Gittin Jr. (who just finished second in the 2012 Formula Drift championship) occasionally misjudges distances, meaning that a car or two will need to go back to...

Magnus Walker doesn’t look at all like what you’d expect a Porsche collector to look like. He wears oil-stained jeans, not designer slacks, and it’s a safe bet that none of his shirts come with a tiny alligator logo on them. He wears his long hair in dreadlocks, and you can tell...

Jay Leno has a passion for early Bugatti automobiles, and has numerous examples in his collection. When Bugatti chose this year's Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance for the North American debut of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, the ultra-luxury automaker even sprayed the car in the same white...

UPDATE: The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte has been revealed. Click here for all the photos and details. Maserati is in the midst of an ambitious new model roll-out plan that will see the automaker’s lineup not only freshened but injected with some brand new models. Fiat Group CEO Sergio...

It takes a special kind of crazy to think that piloting a giant balloon to a height of 128,100 feet, opening the door of your capsule and jumping into space sounds like a good idea, but Felix Baumgartner is that kind of crazy. On Sunday, the Austrian skydiver and helicopter pilot broke several...

Maserati is about to embark on an ambitious plan to increase its sales almost 10-fold within the next several years. Key to the plan succeeding is the launch of several higher volume models, including a new SUV that will be based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee and produced at a Chrysler plant just...
