Back in May we heard that Jerry Seinfeld was pitching a new TV show about cars. Today the first teaser video has been released, revealing the name of the show to be Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. Which sounds more like an elaborate put-on than pure entertainment to us. Set to make its debut on July 19th, the show seems to be exactly what you would expect based on the name. The video shows Seinfeld driving around in various classic cars ranging from old Porsches and Mercedes to an old Triumph. Passengers in the clip include stars like Alec Baldwin, Ricky Gervais, and Larry David--they run...

Jaguar Shows It's Fearless About The F-Type And Its Future: VideoJaguar’s upcoming F-Type roadster is the marque’s first attempt at building a no-compromise sports car in over 50 years. To call the car significant is an understatement, as it has the potential of pirating buyers away from brands like Porsche and BMW. Based on the C-X16 Concept, Jaguar...

Jay Leno's Garage: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mark 1ASmall car, big engine. It's a classic, typically American story--and like many of the excellent sports cars of the era, it bears Carroll Shelby's touch. It's the 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mark 1A. One part British roadster, one part American "yeah, it'll fit," with a dash of Shelby Cobra, the Sunbeam...

Formula One cars of 2012 have precious little in common with Formula One cars of 1950. Aside from the open wheel and open cockpit designs that form the backbone of the sport, everything from construction materials through engine position and steering wheel design has changed over the past 62 years. There are plenty of side-by-side Formula One comparisons to be found on the net, but we don’t recall ever seeing one as elegant as the video above, created by animator Rufus Blacklock. In under sixty seconds, it shows you the evolution of the modern F1 car, from 1950 to 2012. Cars from each...

Randy Pobst, K-PAX Racing Fight Fire, Crashes At Mosport: VideoRacing isn't easy. It's not easy to get into, to stay in, or, even for the talented and well-financed teams, just to keep up with. Sometimes it's not the fierce competition that holds you back, however. Sometimes it's just bad luck. On the other hand, there are a few doses of good luck in what...

1973 Chevelle Makes An Unusual Pro Tourer: VideoThere’s absolutely nothing unusual about a Chevy Chevelle built for pro touring, as long as you’re talking about a second generation model, built from 1967 to 1972. In 1973, the Chevelle grew noticeably in length, width and weight, while at the same time new emission standards...

It may seem hard to believe, but the Chevrolet Corvette turns 60 in 2013. Over the car’s six-decade life, it’s been transformed from an underpowered and hastily slapped-together roadster (the original 1953 model) to a world class sports car (most recently, the Corvette ZR1) and endurance racing legend. The Corvette is now on its sixth generation, and a new C7 model is scheduled to be introduced for the 2014 model year. Production of 2013 Corvettes (all of which can be equipped to honor the car’s 60th anniversary) will be limited, as the assembly line in Bowling Green...

Last week we brought you the in-car video of Doug Peterson's Formula Mazda crash at Road America, and now we have the incident from almost every possible angle and vantage point. While Peterson's ride was the wildest, the scenes of frenzied of avoidance maneuvers, brake lock-ups, and general mayhem for those farther back in the field in this video, via Autoweek, are almost as hair-raising. The crash occurred at the start of the SCCA Chicago Region June Sprints earlier this month, as Peterson moved to overtake and cars in front of him slowed abruptly, jamming several cars into the wall--and...

Porsche 911 With Chevy LS7 V-8? Yes, Please: VideoHeresy it may be, but we don't care. Not even a little bit. This (apparently Southern) gentleman with an LS7-powered 911 Carrera is our newest hero. As Hooniverse (via VWVortex's The Car Lounge) points out, the LS7 is not only more powerful and more American than the Porsche flat-six it replaced...

550-HP Bowler EXR-S Through Chris Harris' Eyes: VideoAt about 3,800 pounds and 550 horsepower, the Bowler EXR-S has better power-to-weight figures than a Cadillac CTS-V. And it's built to run over the unpaved surfaces of the Earth with little to no regard for its undulations, crevices, and protuberances. In other words, it's pretty badass. But the...

Lexus Explains The All New GS 450h: VideoFor years, hybrid automobiles were purchased by those who cared more about fuel economy than driving. While a Toyota Prius or a Honda Insight may be frugal (especially for long commutes), neither serves up anything resembling entertainment value when the road gets twisty. Times are changing, and...
