Here’s something we definitely recommend you don't try at home. New Zealand race car driver Jonny Reid was put behind the wheel of a new 2011 Volvo S60 and asked to flog the car around a race track he’s very familiar with. Should be easy; now imagine him doing it wearing a blindfold...

Over 70 percent of all Porsches ever built are still on the road--or at least in running condition in a climate-controlled garage. Porsche Classic is the company's in-house restoration and parts unit, and in this video, they walk us through what they do. Aside from the very interesting snippets of...

Though BMW's performance in winning this year's ALMS GT championship was based more on consistency than outright dominance, the team has proved a central tenet of endurance racing: to finish first, one must first finish. Today the team announced its intent to come back for a third season of ALMS GT...

Until now, Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova has been famous mostly for (a) being a Victoria's Secret Angel and (b) having no belly button. Now, she can add one more notch to her 24" belt: Kurkova is the newest face of Mercedes-Benz. Kurkova was recently chosen to front the new "Captivated"...

Looking more like something out of the Grand Theft Auto series of videogames rather than real life, a 17-year old Ohio driver took police on a wild chase, smashing through local highways in a stolen dump truck. The teen managed to continue his rampage for a total of 52 miles, carrying two younger...

So you thought near-3.0-second 0-60 mph times were solely the domain of uber-turbo all-wheel-drive boost buggies? Think again: the New Stratos, based on a shortened and highly customized Ferrari F430 platform, scoots to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds. That's a dead heat with the Corvette...

Illegal street racing is stupid and dangerous, especially in this era of sanctioned "run what ya brung" nights at drag strips all over the country. The problem with street racing isn't just that some participants have even less skill than they have brains. It's that the environment is uncontrolled...

Ferrari unveiled the 458 Challenge race car, based on the production 458 Italia, back in July, finally showing it to the public at the Bologna auto show last week. But despite some racy photos, we've had little else to sate our desire for uncorked Prancing Horse excellence. Until now. However you...

The Porsche 911 GT2 is a car that needs no introduction. Often nicknamed the widow maker due to its sheer rawness and tendency to go sideways at will, the 911 GT2--as hard as it is to believe--is available in an even more extreme form, as the 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. This hotter variant is the...

From the very beginning, this video mystifies us. Speaking what appears to be French while in a creepy mini-orchard infested with insects, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK shown in this video raises more questions than it answers, such as "What the hell is going on here?" We're not sure, nor will we ever...

This unsual contest of speed between a golf ball driven by Stuart Appleby and a Lamborghini Gallardo ends with a result we wouldn't have expected, but we won't spoil it for you. To make things fair, the Gallardo was given a head start. It wasn't much of a head start, though, crossing the line where...

This no-holds-barred contest of raw material excess and skillful value-conscious performance yields no surprising results--the Veyron is far and away faster than the modified GT-R. But it's downright amazing on two levels: production value and sheer stupidity. Exceeding 160 mph on multiple...

We've been bringing you news on the Canadian-built HTT Plethore LC-570 supercar for over a year now, including its recent appearance in a Mentos commercial, of all things. Now we have official video of the car rolling down a winter-wasted Canadian highway. Set to some rather hum-drum rock music...

Ahh, the beauty of time-lapse video. The technology allows us to see the construction of the new 2011 Chevrolet Volt, from beginning to end, in less than two minutes, from when the first few pieces of metal and welded together to the point where the cars are driven off the production line. The...

A fresh new look, more powerful yet more fuel efficient engines and plenty of technological gizmos to keep even the most savvy of tech-heads happy, the new 2012 Audi A6 looks set to be a definite winner. This latest video shows the car from virtually every angle and after viewing it we’re...

If you've read our first drive review of the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500, you know it's good for a whole lot more than straight-line duty, unlike many of its predecessors. But that doesn't mean it's not still a very good platform for a serious drag car. The Modular Mustang Racing (MMR) 2010 GT500 proves...

Lotus Formula 1 driver Heikki Kovalainen is under several days bed rest for a concussion he suffered during his crash at this weekend's Race of Champions (ROC). His girlfriend, Catherine Hyde, a passenger in the car at the time, was more severely injured. Hyde suffered a hiarline fracture of her...

When you think of sweet-sounding V-10s, the natural tendency is to think of Lamborghinis, or perhaps the Dodge Viper, though tend to find its (brilliant) engine to sound a bit truck-like despite its face-stretching performance. But one car you probably don't think of is BMW's M6. That should...

We brought you live images of the new 2012 Range Rover Evoque five-door from the vehicle's debut event alongside the Los Angeles Auto Show earlier this month, and now we have the official promo video showing the vehicle in action. Set to some moderately annoying electronic music and in a CGI...

This surely was a sight to behold; a parade of iconic Lamborghini models driving through the automaker’s home town of Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy. The occasion was in honor of the Lamborghini Murcielago, which went out of production earlier this month after a nine year run and a total 4,099...
