The McLaren F1 is without doubt one of the greatest supercars of all time, even to this day, almost 21 years since the first one was launched. Unfortunately, during its lifetime, only 72 road-legal F1 cars were ever built, eight of these being impossible-to-get special editions. With such a...

photo by Flickr user SashaFatCat April Fool's Day is here--and exactly what have you done to screw with your friends' heads? Nothing? Lame. It's pretty easy to use your car as a tool of mental mayhem--but you've got to be good about it. Moving their car to a different space? Amateur hour. Moving...

John Lennon might not have envisioned this scenario when he wrote Instant Karma! but the rule still applies: this guy subjected the public to a show no one should have to watch while stuck in traffic, and quickly paid the karmic price. Karma didn't knock him right in the head, but it did knock him...

This video was simply too funny to ignore. For anyone who’s ever had the infuriating feeling of having a car towed away, you now have a new hero. Also see: So Is Chrysler's Invisible Ad Monkey Flipping Off PETA? and Mercedes-Benz: US Gas is Too Dirty For Our Engines The woman in this latest...

This is the first look at the 2013 Chevy Malibu, due for a full unveiling at the 2011 New York and Shanghai Auto Shows on April 19th. So far, we get nothing but a teaser of the rear of the car and some general suggestions as to its specs, though the video below gives a better idea of what to...

Not much to say about this one. Roush has posted two videos of the upcoming 2012 RS3 attacking the track, and we have them below. Roush didn't provide any lap times or further information, but that's OK. Spending some time watching the RS3 lap Laguna Seca--no matter how brief that time is--is a...

Lee Iacocca's relevance to the auto industry is gone, despite the role he once played. So, too, has his unique limited edition 45th anniversary Mustang faded from the scene with the new 5.0's arrival, but this video sidesteps relevance and goes straight to interesting, and, at a few points, cool...

Enthusiast publication Motor Trend put the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 through its paces and came up with a quarter-mile time of 12.3 seconds at 115.8 miles per hour. But one driver did MT one better. This unnamed driver put drag radials on an otherwise stock Boss, and came up with a time of 11.72...

So just how fast is the 2012 Mustang Boss 302? Very fast, for a production muscle car priced around $41,000. In fact, if you slap a set of drag radials on the car you can break into the 11s in the quarter mile and trap north of 117 mph. This video shows a new owner--window sticker still apparently...

We may not have liked the flavor of Corvette's latest commercial touting its production-car superiority in relation to its American Le Mans Series racing rivals, but that's no reason to hold it against the excellent Corvette Racing team. This video takes inside their run at one of the greatest...

The North Loop. The Green Hell. The 'Ring. It's known by many names, but all of them serve to call out one of the greatest racing and testing circuits in the world: the Nurburgring's Nordschleife. Today, the team behind the James Glickenhaus Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5 Competizione posted a video of...

The first event in the new Global RallyCross Championship (GRC) was held this weekend at Irwindale Speedway in California. After all was said and done, former World Rally Championship (WRC) winning driver Marcus Gronholm took the victory in the top AWD class. It was no easy victory for Gronholm, as...

Where is every BMW born? In a secret place the company has barely admitted exists--until now, called Plant Zero. The plant is staffed by the best of BMW's technicians, where prototype cars are built almost entirely by hand. The techs use their own methods to program the eventual robotic assembly...

There’s a reason why incredibly fast cars have an assortment of strangely styled aerodynamic components stuck to their bodies--to keep them glued to the ground. Travelling at similar speeds to aircraft taking off, cars too can have trouble staying on the ground, which is exactly what happened...

The latest installment in the classic Need for Speed franchise, Shift 2 Unleashed, is about to be launched--on March 29 to be exact--and in the lead up to the game’s arrival we have the final trailer to get the adrenaline flowing and the heart pumping. This is the official launch trailer for...

Eighteen-hundred and nine point six, to be exact. That's a lot of horsepower. Drag fiends, savor the heady aroma. The owner of this completely nutso twin-turbo Camaro built by Late Model Racecraft is Kelly Bise. It was built for the Texas Mile, and will be hitting the long and straight stretch this...

Before the advent of video games and thousands of cars stunningly recreated in high polygon models on hundreds of detailed race tracks, we used to use a little thing known as imagination and a little suspension of disbelief to get virtual racing thrills. Diecast cars were at the bottom of the tree...

If you've never been there, you can't really know. Death Valley is aptly named. It's hot. Damned hot. That's why every carmaker on earth comes to the dusty, sun-baked stretches of asphalt to test its cars to their extremes. In this video, BMW gives us a look at what hot-weather testing looks like...

All we can say is, we feel your pain. A motoring journalist for CAR Online, videotaping himself driving the just-launched 2012 Ferrari FF four-wheel-drive shooting brake on a limited-invitation press event, manages to ... ummm ... drive over a curb. Or as he might say, "kerb." His reaction is...

You just bought a new 2011 Chevrolet Volt, you're all set to save the world one full-range EV charge at a time...so what do you do? Hit up Laguna Seca, of course! The overenthusiastic duo inside this 2011 Chevrolet Volt dampens the party somewhat, but the lack of engine noise lets us hear the...
