Eleven minutes of chopped together B-roll? What gives? It's the roughly three minutes of track footage that make this worth your Tuesday time, showing the 2011 1-Series M Coupe on its own and alongside an E30 M3, its ostensible spiritual predecessor. While there's less tire-sqealing and...

Last time we saw Snoop Dogg, he'd rented a battalion of Packards for his wife's 35th birthday party. Last time we saw Bret Michaels...well, we haven't actually seen BM around here, though we did catch him taking a spin at the Tonys. Apparently, both have recovered well enough to help shill the 2011...

Neither the Nurburgring nor one of its master drivers Sabine Schmitz needs any introduction on this site, but what needs to be addressed is the issue that the famous German racing circuit is in financial distress. With debts nearing the $650 million mark, the German government has been called in to...

Getting in some hardcore wheel time while stuck in line at the bank always sounds like a good idea, but it's unfortunately difficult given the lack of good racing games. Once you wear out the few worth playing, you're left repeating the same thing over and over. So it's with some interest that we...

What's not to love about the MINI Dakar All4 prepped by BMW and X Raid? A ride height in the clouds with a turbodiesel six-cylinder mounted in the basement give the MINI Dakar the base it needs to thrash relentlessly in the alien landscapes it will call home. The factory-backed MINI racer will see...

From the classic E30 to the latest E92, the BMW M3 has undergone an evolution from light, small, and motorsports-intended to larger, more powerful, and built for the street as much as the track, but a thread of commonality remains. Where that thread lies, and how strong it remains, is a question...

In the world of celebrity endorsements, matching personalities to products is tricky business. First, there's the matter of tone. Jennifer Aniston and bland bottled water? Perfect. Ozzy Osbourne and faux butter? Hmmm. There's also the tricky matter of the celeb's lifestyle. Does the celebrity's...

If you’ve ever complained about having to ride around in a cramped car, spare a thought for the 19 teenage girls in this video who squeezed into one of the world’s smallest cars, the two-seater Smart Fortwo. The Pakistani girls set a new world record for the ‘Most people crammed...

Proving that vehicle engineers are not videographers as much as it proves some F1 pilots are imbued with more coolness than we will ever possess, this video also gives us a very good first look at the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK, with Nico Rosberg giving his (sponsored) opinions while chief SLK vehicle...

You've followed it for years, seen the official teasers, the reveal, and even watched Jay Leno give it the once-over. Now you can see the Hennessey Venom GT breathe fire on the dyno in this brief video. Why, exactly, does it shoot three feet of blue flame out of its exhaust, you ask? Good question...

We’re happy to report that rapper Fabolous, a.k.a. John David Jackson, is the proud owner of a new Aston Martin Rapide sedan. He was spotted in New Jersey recently visiting his local barber shop and we managed to scoop these images of his new ride, which reportedly cost him around $250,000...

If you don't know Gymkhana by now, you might want to consider rethinking your outlook on life. If, on the other hand, you're familiar but not completely in love with it, we're with you there. But if you'd like to try your hand at some of those automotive gymnastics--for the thrill or to prove how...

We love it when carmakers have the guts to put their products up against the competition in actual tested and measured comparisons. Unfortunately, that's a rare event, and that's not what we have here. Instead, Chrysler employs a host of yes-men (and women) to talk up the new 2011 200 while talking...

The only innocent bystander in this video is an unfortunate Porsche Cayenne, but the not-so-innocent bystanders are our heroes of the day for handing this Russian drunk driver the re-education he clearly needs. We're not typically fans of vigilante justice, but sometimes stupidity requires a...

There are many, many things we love about the New Stratos, but its new look--or, should we say, its retro look--is now chief among them, tying its spiritual ancestry into its modern-day capability with the unforgettable white-red-green-yellow of Alitalia. The same basic scheme that adorned the...

We're quite familiar with the 2011 Audi A7 by now, having seen the car in official guise back in the summer, and at most every show on the circuit since. The latest ad spot for the A7 casts the four-door coupe in a wholly different light, however. In what can only be described as a trippy 62...

Underground Racing is an American tuning firm based just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina that specializes in twin-turbocharging kits for Italian exotica, namely Lamborghini’s Gallardo and Murcielago supercars. The firm has a reputation for building some of the most awesome power-up kits...

We finally have the first solid details on the next installment of the Transformers movies, Transformers 3 - Dark Of The Moon. Below is the first official trailer, which like any decent trailer doesn’t reveal much but does show that the third movie promises to be just as spectacular as the...

Lexus has consistently rated at the top of studies for vehicle quality over the past several years, which is not surprising considering that one of the marque’s main slogans is “The Pursuit of Perfection”. Here’s an inside look at Lexus’ Kyushu plant in Japan where the...

The BMW 1-Series M Coupe is very close to its official unveiling, and BMW has decided to give us an early look at the car sans camouflage. What does it look like? Exactly what you'd expect after all the teasers. Painted a brilliant orange, wearing suitably aggressive bodywork, forged alloy wheels...
