In this video, the team from the Future Lab previews possible future directions for BMW's ConnectedDrive infotainment and telematics system.

Freakishly shaped, crowd-designed, and "open source," the Local Motors Rally Fighter is unique even among the world of purpose-built dirt bashers. It's also a ton of fun to watch as it does its thing. You've already seen the Rally Fighter get freaky in the dirt, but it's up to its antics again...

You thought the Cadillac CTS-V was bad-ass? You're right, but the CTS-V Black Diamond is bad-asser. Or, as Cadillac puts it, it's a "finely crafted, tailored tuxedo." We like our description better. No, you don't get any performance enhancements in the Black Diamond, but then, you don't really need...

Those of you in the many snowbound cities across the north and midwest this morning know just how inconvenient the wintry precipitation can be. But at least it didn't set your car on fire. One unlucky van driver in Chicago can't say the same. Stuck in the snow in an intersection, the driver...

As we trace the slow but steady progress of the 2012 McLaren MP4-12C to market, today brings a milestone: the start of regular production in the company's Technology Centre (MTC). Full series production will take place at the not-yet-completed McLaren Production Center (MPC), but the first batch of...

If you live in the U.S., chances are pretty good that you've been affected by the winter storm currently swirling its way across the country. It's the latest in a string of snow and ice blasts that have caused travel delays, highway closures, traffic accidents, and, unfortunately, more than a few...

Not so long ago, Kenny G was a major threat to the civilized world. Sleepy, innocuous notes rolled out of his saxophone and onto the world's airwaves, lulling us all into a false sense of comfort and security. Things could've gone terribly wrong, but Kenny's unearthly talent was, in fact, his own...

It’s hard to beat that feeling of buying a brand new car, especially when it’s a car that promises the exclusivity and the performance of the new 2012 Lexus LFA. With only 500 examples ever to be produced and a pricetag that starts at $375,000, it’s safe to say that LFA owners...

"Never mess with a Chevy, dude." That's the moral of the story of Chevrolet's latest Super Bowl XLV ad. It's also a cross-promo for the new Transformers movie. We'll leave the details to the video, but here's a teaser: it includes a giant woodchuck getting thrown through the air, Bumblebee, and a...

Not only is Chevrolet giving a 2011 Camaro Convertible to the MVP of Super Bowl XLV, it is also buying air time in the big game. Take a gander below at the ad, which places a twist on traditional dealer advertising. [YouTube, Chevrolet]

James Bond has had a lot of cool gadgets, but one of our favourites had to be the remotely controlled BMW 7-Series from Tomorrow Never Dies. Controlled by a touch-screen cell phone (which still manages to look old-hat now, such is the pace of technology), our hero was able to drive, and indeed...

The Lamborghini Reventon is without doubt one of the great iterations of the Murcielago platform, if not the greatest, and watching it here on the latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage it's easy to understand why. Even though Lamborghini is working on a new supercar, the upcoming Aventador, the...

Ferraris sounds gorgeous at full throttle, and they can do some pretty impressive things in the right hands. This guy does not have the right hands--or feet. In a very good demonstration of why the throttle pedal should not be considered an on-off switch, this Ferrari driver's wet skidpad antics...

Racing drivers are a tough lot. Maybe not as touch as they once were, in the days of Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart, Phil Hill, or even Ayrton Senna, but tough nonetheless. They're play can be just as tough, as proven in this video of Boris Said interviewing Joey Hand. No doubt intended (and received)...

Running slow pace laps during caution periods might seem like a relatively lame duty for a high-performance car, but when that pace car has to run hard enough to keep in front of massively powerful, lightweight, race-tired Daytona prototypes, even at half-speed, it's a different story. The 1-Series...

In fairness to the driver of this Bugatti Veyron, visibility in a supercar tends to be very poor but that still doesn’t negate the lack of skill presented here in this latest video. While attempting to do a simple parallel park, albeit with quite of lot of cars and pedestrians loitering, the...

Imagine having to endure a 12 to 18 month waiting list to finally get your hands on a brand new Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] 458 Italia supercar, only to have it crushed under the wheels of a Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] F-150 pickup truck. Well, that’s exactly what happened to the owner of this sorry...

Sebring. The legendary home of American endurance racing. So how does the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe race car do Sebring in 60 seconds? A montage, of course. In the inimitable words of Trey Parker: The hours approaching, just give it your best You've got to reach your prime. That's when you need to put...

The Holden-built, Commodore-based Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) will be hitting the streets in search of lawbreakers soon, and this video shows the car in testing by U.S. agencies at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix. In addition to some solid tire-squealing parking lot...

You've already read our take on the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible in our first drive review. Now you can see what GM's engineers focused on to make a car they claim is just as capable as the coupe. No matter whether you think the drop-top Camaro is for blow-drying mullets or blowing the doors...
