Lexus recently held a competition on its Facebook page where the prize was a chance to test drive an LFA and experience the supercar at the Skip Barber Racing School at Laguna Seca. Oh, and the winner was also to receive some one-on-one time with pro racer and Lexus spokesman Scott Pruett. Well...

Koenigsegg’s Agera R is officially on sale in the U.S., and on hand to present the car at its debut at the recent Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was the supercar manufacturer’s founder and CEO Christian von Koenigsegg. This video, filmed by the guys from Jay Leno’s Garage...

Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, can run 100 meters in 9.58 seconds and 200 meters in 19.19 seconds, both world records. He has a thing for fast cars too as evidenced by his joy over lapping in the Ferrari 458 Italia and 599 GTB at Italy's Fiorano circuit. Recently, Bolt partnered with...

When Volvo announced it was signing NBA star Jeremy Lin as a pitchman for its cars last March, “Linsanity” was everywhere. It seemed impossible to turn on televised news without hearing the latest exploits of the New York Knicks’ unlikely superstar point guard. In the seven months...

Update: Marc Arnold, the pilot for Rocky Mountain Jet who flew the Eclipse 500 against the Lexus LFA, was kind enough to give us detailed information on the race. Rather than leaving his insight as a comment, we thought it more relevant to include it in the body of the original story. Thanks go to...

The story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears applies equally well to the Ford Mustang. To those of us who use our cars for track days, the Mustang GT is a bit too soft (although it’s still very good with the optional Track Package), while the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500 is a bit too hard for...

Cadillac will offer an upgraded entertainment package on its 2013 SRX crossover, which features some of the latest technologies including a Blu-Ray DVD player and a cordless remote control. The new package will be linked with Cadillac’s CUE interface system and be accessible from every seat...

At the recent Paris Auto Show Mercedes-Benz showed of a three-dimensional sculpture said to preview its next-generation S Class, a car due out next year as a 2014 model. Called the Aesthetics S, the sculpture was accompanied by a dynamic lighting show and was created completely in-house by the...

If the Porsche 918 Spyder were a celebrity, it would likely be Lindsay Lohan or Lady Gaga. That’s not commentary on the Porsche’s behavior, dress or after-hours habits, but instead recognition that few others spend as much time in the glow of the spotlights (and in follow-up media...

For a race that drew only a handful of yellow flags throughout much of its 188-lap scheduled distance, Sunday’s Good Sam Roadside Assistance Sprint Cup race at Talladega served up plenty of drama, much of it condensed into the final green and white flag lap. As the laps wound down, it looked...

A lot of people make fun of Tanner Foust. Some for his slightly wooden delivery on Top Gear USA, others for his clean-cut goody-two-shoes image. But at the end of the day, a lot of us probably do it out of envy. As he's been documenting for sponsor Rockstar in his Life In The Foust Lane series...

We've known the Thunder from Down Under was making its way to the U.S. for some time now, but today dates for the V8 Supercars series race at Austin's Circuit of the Americas have been officially announced. It's getting real, folks. Clear your calendars for May 17-19, 2013, as that's when the...

If you’re looking for a seriously fast muscle car, the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is one of two outstanding options you have these days (the other, of course, is the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500). From the showroom floor, the ZL1 makes some 580 horsepower at the crank, which is good enough to get...

Making its official public debut in concept form at the Paris Auto Show, McLaren’s P1 supercar was met with near-universal acclaim. While the styling seemed a bit awkward in early teased images, it worked much better when seen in person or in video. We brought you live images of the...

While we’re generally game to drive anything we get the keys to, certain cars give us reason to think twice before pulling out of the driveway. One of these is the original Porsche 911 Turbo, dubbed the Porsche 930 in production trim. While the 930’s 330 horsepower may seem modest by...

In about a year’s time, pilot Andy Green will strap himself into the driver’s seat of the Bloodhound SSC, parked on the flat and straight Hakskeen Pan in South Africa. If all goes as planned, a Cosworth F1 engine will spin up to 17,500 rpm, powering a pump that injects High Test...

Although the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was held over a month ago, Aston Martin has only just released this video of the its latest flagship, the reborn Vanquish, being driven on the scenic roads of Northern California. Like all Aston Martin automobiles, its appearance is shaped along...

In the early days of Formula One racing, safety was largely an afterthought. Not only did drivers lack lap belts and shoulder harnesses, but aside from leather or cotton “skull caps,” there were no crash helmets to speak of. At speeds in excess of 155 miles per hour, we can only imaging...

You've seen the live photos, you've read all the official details. Now you can see the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive in action, complete with eerily silent drivetrain and an overbearing narrator. We're usually annoyed at the Wagnerian music and non-stop narration for getting in the way of hearing a...

We love the new Porsche 911 Carrera S--so much so that we named it our Best Car To Buy last year. It looks like Timo Kluck loves it, too, in this video of him hustling it around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just 7:37.9. If you missed our impressions from behind the wheel of the new 911, you...
