Yesterday we showed you a video of Nissan’s GT-R driving on snow. Today we have a clip of the GT-R's closest rival, the Porsche 911, carving up the ice around Germany’s Nordschleife. The car in this video is just a basic Carrera so it doesn’t enjoy the benefits of AWD traction...

To some, the heavier and less rigid Convertible version of the potent M3 may be a poser’s car, but who really cares when it looks this good. Sure, the complicated mechanism for the folding hardtop weighs around 200kg and yes it does severely limit trunk space when its down, but surely the...

We’ve always been big fans of the limited edition Mercedes CLK DTM, a car styled after the actual CLK DTM race car. Now, AMG has the CLK63 AMG Black Series to invigorate the passion, something it does with ease thanks to its aggressive widebody kit and screaming (507hp) 373kW V8 engine. Check...

Beautiful looking cars make for great photos, but beautiful sounding cars make for great memories. The Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT is equipped with all the right parts to make some wonderful memories: based on the regular Murcielago, not the LP640, but 500kg lighter, the R-GT’s 6.0L V12...

Radical Sportscars is a UK-based carmaker and motorsports company famous for building a range of open-cockpit track cars, which also happen to be street-legal. One of its cars, the SR8, currently holds the record for the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a street-legal car with a blistering time of...

Ascari's hand-built A10 supercar is just as quick as the million dollar Bugatti Veyron in the sprint to 62 mph, requiring only 2.8 seconds to reach the mark and an additional 3.2 seconds to pass the ton. Jeremy Clarkson found out just how brutal the car is in this latest video review...

At last night’s National Television Awards ceremony in the UK, Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson took out the Special Recognition Award for his ‘unique contribution to television.’ The normally collected Clarkson seemed genuinely surprised to have won the award, which was...

During the early 1980s Audi was a leader in rallying because of its then revolutionary quattro AWD system. The car everybody was talking about was the Audi Sport quattro S1, a 2.1L five-cylinder rocket with 600hp and 435ft.-lbs of torque driving all four wheels via a six-speed gearbox. This is also...

Before you shrug this off as just some pointless comparison, take a close look at the stats of these two vehicles. In one corner we have the SLR McLaren, which we’re sure most readers would recognize, and in the other corner we have the Mercedes-Benz Actros Black Edition semi. The SLR...

Nissan’s new Pivo 2 Concept is without doubt one of the strangest vehicles we’ve seen in a long time but it’s also packed with some innovative features that would actually improve day-to-day motoring. An efficient electric drivetrain, in-wheel motors, and 90 degree swiveling...

Dual clutch gearboxes are popping up in more and more cars, but are they really better around a track than a well-sorted manual? That’s what this video by the people at Fifth Gear aims to answer by comparing identical Audi TTs, one equipped with a six-speed manual and the other with a six...

The lucky guys from Fifth Gear got the chance to test drive the Maserati GranTurismo across some mountain roads in northern Italy, and as we suspected they’ve come away very pleased with the new coupe. After all, who wouldn’t like a big Italian GT packing a powerful V8 and styling that...

Lexus will be taking on two of its most coveted rivals, Mercedes’ C63 and the BMW M3, with its all new IS-F performance sedan. This latest video shows the car going through some high-speed antics down at the Laguna Seca speedway, and, by the looks of things, IS-F owners will have nothing to...

Here's a great review of the new M3 that shows you just how dramatically some of the key electronic settings in the car can effect the overall performance. Like the reviewer in this video, we’d want to set every mode to the ‘extreme’ setting as well. Via: GermanCarScene
