Driving simulators such as Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo and Need for Speed are well-known--and well-loved--here at Motor Authority. However, there is a new title in the works that may upset these video game heavyweights, and that’s GRID 2 from Codemasters. The sequel to 2008’s GRID...

The Bloodhound SSC is fairly mental all on its own: basically, a jet without wings intended to skim the surface of a salt lake bed. The driver, accordingly, is slightly more mental--especially since he plans to take it to about 1,000 mph. That man is Andy Green, shown here racing with Chris Harris...

For many buyers, the purchase of a supercar is merely a way of showing the neighbors that you have more money (or care about saving it less) than they do. All too often, supercars are driven to events like car shows, or perhaps out to a five-star restaurant, before being returned to their lives of...

To promote its refreshed 2013 370Z, Nissan solicited fan feedback on its Nissan Performance Facebook page to create the world’s first crowdsourced 370Z track car. Since Kicking off what it called "Project 370Z," Nissan has shown us two videos of the car under assembly, and now we get to see a...

If you haven’t seen Audi’s video, Truth In 24 II, it’s well worth a screening when you have the time. The documentary details Audi’s efforts at the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans, through the eyes of people like driver Benoit Treluyer and race engineer Leena Gade. Footage from the...

Audi FSI technology helped lead Audi to victory in Le Mans in 2001 and now it's also helping the latest RS 5 dominate in the sports car segment.

Porsche’s original factory museum, opened in 1976, was modest in both location and scope. Situated on a side street in Stuttgart, the facility was only large enough to display some 20 cars at any given time. In 2009, Porsche opened a new museum in Zuffenhausen, adjacent to its corporate...

Those of us who have spent more than our fair share of time above the posted speed limits are fond of a sobering, self-limiting saying: You can't outrun radios. Perhaps that's the thought that went through this Bugatti Veyron driver's mind as he was being pulled over by a policeman on a bicycle...

MINI has already made it perfectly clear that its new MINI Cooper John Cooper Works GP will be the fastest production car its ever built, and a new series of videos gives us a good idea of how much MINI is sweating the details. While the original MINI Cooper John Cooper Works GP, sold only in 2006...

Ponder the steering wheel in your car for just a minute. Chances are good it was produced by a single vendor via a fully automated process in a matter of minutes. Even if it’s wrapped in leather or suede, stitched by hand, it probably took no longer than a few hours to craft. Now ponder the...

Back in June Audi set the fastest lap time of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife for a produced-based electric car using its upcoming R8 e-tron. The final time for the electric supercar, which was piloted by German race car driver Markus Winkelhock, was a brisk 8:09.099. Today we have a video of the...

Video footage has been captured of a late model BMW M3 Coupe crashing into a concrete center divider at high speed after its driver loses control of the car in very wet conditions. The M3 is seen overtaking another vehicle on the right when suddenly it hits a large patch of water and then careens...

MINI is set to reveal the seventh addition to its ever-expanding lineup, the all-new 2013 MINI Paceman. Essentially a coupe version of the Countryman crossover, the new Paceman is expected to be revealed in full in the coming months, with some tipping a debut at the 2012 Paris Auto Show at the end...

The five-cylinder engine in the Audi TT RS traces its history back to the brand's racing 90 Quattro of the last 1980s.

Those of us that love cars often see the art in their designs, in driving them, in the sounds of their engines, even in their construction--but it's not often we see them made into the tools of art, or music, to be exact. But that's exactly what Jordan Hill calls Motor Rhythms. Hill terms his Motor...

Rubbing, it’s said, is racing, and that may hold true in certain forms of motorsports. Punting your competitor because you don’t want to finish second, however, isn’t racing unless we’re talking about demolition derby. A Pagani GR, as far as we can tell, has never been...

One of the biggest concerns for riders is a lack of attention from car and truck drivers who often fail to notice the smaller, two-wheelers out on the roads. It could simply be a car driver merging into another lane occupied by a motorcycle and its rider, entering a road with an oncoming bike, or...

The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is 500 pounds lighter than the outgoing 2012 model, helping it deliver a fuel economy of 20/26 mpg city/highway.

At next month’s Paris Auto Show Jaguar is expected to unveil its new 2014 F-Type sports car, which is set to go on sale in the first half of next year, initially as a convertible and later as a coupe. The car is the production version of last year’s stunning C-X16 concept, and judging...

Pro drivers, despite living the dream, don't always get that much track time on a given race weekend. So what do they do to get an edge--or even just to get familiar with a trak they haven't raced on before? They use simulators--and some of them use familiar, retail sims that us regular folks can...
