Love it or hate it, Ferrari's new shooting brake grand tourer, the first to sport all-wheel drive from the Prancing Horse, is here. New photos and videos of the car show it in a different light--and color. As for ourselves, we wouldn't kick it out of the garage for any reason.

Once upon a time, parents had to be pretty crafty to track their teenagers' driving habits. Sure, they could look for obvious signs of recklessness like dents and scratches, but hard braking?

There are few activities more epic in paved-track motorsports than a 24-hour endurance race, for driver, car, and team.

The Roadster Sport features the same power output of the standard Roadster at 288 horsepower, but over a wider...

Humor is best when it rings true, and, by that metric, this ad is hilarious. Hyundai picks at the sore spot so many of us guard: the apparent disregard for fun, interesting cars displayed by the majority of the buying public. You, dear reader, are of course exempted by your mere presence here. But...

In most cars, getting that power down to the ground when the road surface is covered in ice or snow would be next to impossible but thanks to its...

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Driving down a highway in Tunisia, a news team happened to film a man allegedly stealing a bright yellow Ferrari 599 GTB supercar. What’s odd is that he uses an oversized forklift to transport the vehicle, carrying it home in broad...
