  • 2012 Ford Boss 302 Laguna Seca

    The 2011 Mustang GT is being equated with the 2011 BMW M3 in terms of outright performance (though certainly not overall refinement) despite starting about $20,000 below the M3. The 2011 GT500 is a better comparison on price, and offers even more intense performance. Now there's a step between: the reborn 2012 Mustang 302 Boss. During the Monterey Motorsports Week, the 2012 Boss Laguna Seca special edition was revealed at its namesake track. Jay Leno, on hand for the festivities, grabbed some time with the car and Ford engineer Tom Barnes to get the details. If you're averse to reading reams...

  • 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia on fire
    Video: Another 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia Goes Up In Flames

    We wish someone were making this up. Maybe then we could explain how so many examples of the still new 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia have been damaged in such a short space of time. If you haven’t been counting, the tally already stands at 10 in the past 9 months--not including one car that was...

  • 2010 BMW Rahal Letterman Racing M3 GT for ALMS
    Video: Picking Up The Pieces From BMW's Road America Crash

    Racing, from grassroots to the highest pro leagues, involves a lot more work than play. It's just that most of the work is never shown to the fans. BMW has turned the tables around, and is showing us what's going into the rebuild process of the wrecked No. 92 M3 GT that hit the wall in the Kink at...

    Gymkhana 3, Part 1: Ken Block's Motorsports Missive Goes Musical

    Ken Block's Gymkhana series of videos has set the standard for Internet fame as far as motorsports outside the NASCAR/IndyCar set here in the U.S., and the third video in the series is set to drop today. Right now, we have part one, a music video infomercial hyping a video that needs no hype. Check...

  • Jay Leno gets a tour of the Porsche 918 spyder
    Video: Jay Leno's Garage Gets Personal With Porsche's 918 Spyder

    The Porsche 918 Spyder is already changing the way hybrids are perceived, and raising the bar for supercars in general at the same time. Especially considering it's expected to get even more power than the 500 dinosaur-powered horses from its 3.4-liter V-8 and 218 electron-powered horses from its...

    Video: Juan Pablo Montoya Thrashes Corvette ZR1 At Milford

    The setting: GM's Milford Proving Grounds test track. The players: former F1 pilot turned NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya and a Corvette ZR1. The result: lots of fast driving, some opposite lock, and a few backhanded compliments. While Montoya does have a lot of good to say about America's...

  • Video: Corvette Racing Episode 9, Training For Endurance

    You might think sitting behind the wheel for a few hours is an easy way to earn a living, but you'd be wrong. Endurance racing in particular requires the ability to focus at almost superhuman levels for hours while fighting heat, g forces, the effort of driving the car, and, of course, the rest of the drivers on the track. This video details how Oliver Gavin, Corvette Racing driver, and Ken Flory, chief engineer, train to be able to take the strain on the track and behind the pit wall. It's a look inside the life of a race driver we don't often get in road racing, and well worth the three...

    Video: 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, Your Guided Underhood Tour

    If you happen to have read our First Drive Review, you know we think the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V is way fun from behind the wheel. And if you watched the footage from behind the wheel as we took a 2011 CTS-V Coupe around Monticello Motor Club's track (ignore the driver's grimaces, please), you'll have...

    Video: 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Laps Monticello Motor Club

    Last week, we told you how much fun the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is from behind the wheel in our First Drive Review. Now, we can show you. This video was shot from inside a CTS-V Coupe we took around the very technical track at Monticello Motor Club, a racetrack that's normally only open to...

  • 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia crash
    Video: 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia Crashes One Day After Leaving Factory

    In the short time that the new 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia has been on sale we’ve already managed to see at least one crashed example and hear about two other causalities, as well as see an additional two examples go up in flames. Now, we have a video showing yet another 458 Italia suffering from the...

    Quail 2010: Bugatti on parade

    It's called a "motorsports gathering," but to the observers sipping crisp local wines and sampling the world of classic cars one continent at a time, The Quail is more than a gathering. For us here at MotorAuthority, it's an epiphany of rarely seen machines driving under their own power, an...

  • Tila Tequila with her Lamborghini Gallardo
    Video: Tila Tequila Makes An Adult Film, Buys A Lamborghini

    There are three things we know for sure: 1. Life sucks. 2. That dude from Jet Blue completely staged his exit (which is not to say it wasn't awesome, though it pales in comparison to Wendy O. Williams' jump from a moving bus). 3. Tila Tequila is the love child of Anna Nicole Smith and Imelda...

  • Video: 2012 BMW 6-Series Chased Down On German Autobahn

    The new 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe and Convertible aren't due to arrive in showrooms until the end of this year at the earliest--more likely in early 2011--as the current model was only given its mid-cycle facelift a little over two years ago. Prototypes of the new car, however, are already testing in Europe and have been captured by spy photographers on several occasions testing near BMW’s headquarters in Munich or around the Nurburgring circuit. This time, however, we have a video of a trio of 2012 BMW 6-Series prototypes--both the coupe and convertible--being chased down a stretch of German...

    Video: First Trailer For Top Gear USA Released

    We were briefly excited last year then quickly had our hopes smashed when word of an American version of the UK's hit car-related show Top Gear was released, then quickly canceled after filming the pilot. It had been slated for NBC, then confirmed for The History Channel and today we have the first...

    The 2011 MINI Cooper Countryman is on its way to dealers later this year. When it arrives, it'll be one of the first MINI products to bring the world of Internet radio and Twitter into the car via a new setup dubbed MINI Connected.

  • Hawaii Five-0 Remake
    VIDEO: Mercury Lives On--In Hawaii Five-O Remake

      Hollywood doesn't call them remakes--they euphemize 'em as "reboots" these days. But with this fall's new version of the CBS classic, Hawaii Five-0 is trying to stay as authentic as possible with a raft of new Fords on screen--and at least one old one. CBS may be the only place you'll see a...

  • Screencap from Jedward's 'Ice Ice Baby', featuring Vanilla Ice
    Video: Has Vanilla Ice Become The Poor Man's Evel Knievel?

    Before we interviewed Vanilla Ice (aka Robert Van Winkle) earlier this year, we'd written the guy off as a one-hit wonder and year-round D-lister. But over the course of our chat, we changed our minds. He seemed really down to earth -- the kind of guy who'd had a moment of notoriety, milked it for...
