  • Hot Wheels double loop-the-loop stunt planned for X Games 18

    Continuing his somewhat unlikely but nevertheless awesome partnership with Hot Wheels, Tanner Foust is preparing to do something even crazier than his life-sized toy car jump: a parallel double loop-the-loop. Coming on the heels of Top Gear Live's successful sequential double loop-the-loop, the feat may seem a bit less awe-inspiring, but the teaser video has us thinking the comparison makes Foust's planned stunt look even more insane. The largest double-loop ever, at six storeys high, will require 7 g of force as the car's centripetal force drives it around the inner surface of the double...

    Hyundai Genesis Coupe Outruns An Arrow: Video

    Kudos to Hyundai for putting a new twist on the "can a car outrun this object" theme by outrunning an arrow with a humble Genesis Coupe--but pardon us if we take a closer look at the physics of this video before we go all googly-eyed. Most arrows from a typical modern compound bow will travel...

    Take A Virtual Tour Of Mercedes-AMG's Affalterbach HQ: Video

    With Mercedes-AMG dangling some very tasty-looking forbidden fruit in our faces in the form of the A45 AMG, we're currently feeling somewhat mixed toward the brand, though we have some hope for the CLA45 AMG--and we already know and love many of their other products. For those of you who aren't as...

  • Top Gear Live's 'Deadly 720' back-to-back loop-the-loop

    A driver from the Top Gear Live Stunt Team has set a new world record by becoming the first to complete a spectacular double loop-the-loop on four wheels. The ground-breaking feat--dubbed the ‘Deadly 720’, for obvious reasons--was the amazing finale to the first of four Top Gear Live shows staged in front of thousands of spectators in Durban, South Africa. The never-before performed stunt required the driver to execute a single 360-degree loop on a specially constructed track, followed immediately by a second 360-degree loop. A specially-built buggy was used for the attempt...

    Lexus IS F CCS-R And Ken Gushi Take Final Test Run Up Pikes Peak: Video

    It's incredible that Pikes Peak exists as a public road. It's even more incredible that people race up it--the narrow two-lane surface, now mostly paved, is still free of guardrails over much of the perilously long, steep drops. Nevertheless, people flock to the mountain every year to try their...

  • Travis Pastrana jumps his Dodge Dart rallycross car at Texas Motor Speedway. Image via Facebook.

    You've already seen Travis Pastrana at the wheel of his new Dodge Dart rally/rallycross car. Now you can see the car in wheel-to-wheel action against the best in the business as they take to the track--and the jumps--at Texas Motor Speedway. The Global RallyCross Championship, if you're not familiar, is a bit like supermoto for cars, with elements of track driving and motocross-style jumps thrown in. For Pastrana, a whiz on a two wheels or four, the event looks like fun, but the result wasn't great. A bad start, a spin, and the chance of a good result was gone. Regardless of the outcome...

  • Romanian thieves attempt moving highway heist
    Romanian Movie-Style Highway Heist Fails, Still Crazy: Video

    You've seen the move (in movies, at least) before: two cars are moving along the highway at high speed, when someone crawls out of one in an attempt to get to the other. If it's a hero at work, it usually succeeds. Here, it's not a movie, but real life, and the bad guys don't win. These Romanian...

Deciding to go rallying with a £4,000 BMW 325i and an aging Range Rover tow vehicle, the whole thing was a budget endeavor in...

  • Earl Duque picks up his new 2012 BMW 3-Series

    BMW recently ran a competition in North America asking fans to create a video that explains how much they "desire" the new 2012 3-Series, but make it last no longer than 5.9 seconds, about the time it takes the car to go from 0-60 mph. From the more than 2,000 entries that were submitted, a final winner has been picked, with the panel of judges including gold medal winning Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin, baseball player Mark Teixeira, and filmmaker Kurt Miller. The winning video, Test Drive Nostalgia, was created by Earl Duque of Los Angeles, CA. The short clip features him and a friend...
