The life of a model/actor is hard. "Oh, right", you say, "lying on a sofa and staring vacantly into a bank of cameras is way tougher than military service or manual labor or having no job at all." But hey, we've seen All About Eve and Valley of the Dolls and America's Next Top Model. Like Gina...

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).

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...

A stonking 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engine is enough meat for most Camaro owners, but not for the obsessives at Lingenfelter. Instead, they shoehorned a supercharged LS9 into the engine bay of a heavily-modified 2010 Camaro SS. And then they shot it full of nitrous. The result? A slick-smoking monster of...

We met Audi's quattro Concept at the 2010 Paris Auto Show last September, and immediately fell in love with its sharp lines, elegant proportions, and menacing details. Now you can spend some quality time with the new quattro in this brief video. The futuristic design pays homage to the 30th...

In the latest episode of the BMW Unscripted series we have one of the automaker’s top engineers, Juergen Greil, giving insight into the development process and the general feeling towards the Vision EfficientDynamics green supercar concept, a vehicle that’s due for sale in 2013. Hearing...

You’re chances of actually seeing a HTT Plethore LC-750 out on the roads are next to nil but you can see the Canadian supercar in this latest advertisement for Mentos’ Fruity Fresh 3 chewing gum, which was recently launched in Europe. The creation of HTT Technologies and the brainchild...

You have no idea how much we love the holidays. Not because of the mini-vacation, or the change in weather, or the turducken -- though those are nice, of course -- but because of the dazzling array of movies on view. From Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve, at cineplexes across America, studios...

We already covered the Lingenfelter Camaro that ran the quarter mile in a tick over nine seconds. Now we have video of one that clocked in just a tick under nine.

Using YouTube as an advertising outlet is nothing new anymore, and cell-phone recycler Pace Butler has produced an ad in which a fourth-generation Camaro meets its demise by having 1,500 pounds of old cell phones dropped on it from above. According to a post on Jalopnik, the Camaro wasn't running...

Sometimes, we get press releases that make us die a little inside. We'll receive an email about new air-fresheners or nutria-trimmed seat covers or those seriously creepy car lashes, and it'll make us super-sad -- not because of the products themselves, but because some poor PR newbie, fresh out of...

Subaru's Impreza concept knocked socks off at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show unveiling, and though it doesn't look all that characteristically Subaru, it certain looks good. This CGI video offers a much closer, more detailed look at the car, though you'll have to endure some rather annoying world...

Press launches are odd things, especially when you're dealing with a 556-horsepower super-wagon on a track you've never driven before. Limited time, restricted driving conditions, and unfamiliarity can conspire to put more noise in the signal you're getting from the car than you can filter out. But...

Nissan and its Infiniti luxury division may have been late to the table when it comes to hybrids but neither brand is shying away from launching a new generation of gasoline-electric vehicles. Infiniti has fired the latest round in the battle for hybrid supremacy with the unveiling of a new hybrid...

If you're blaming your vehicle's seats for your achy back or painful neck, consider this: You might not not be properly adjusting your seats, and you could be in a seating position that's simply wrong for your body type. High end seats, which bring fine-tuned support for backs and thighs, can bring...

We just spent a day driving the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon around the foggy, ridiculously gorgeous Monterey Peninsula, topped with a couple dozen laps at Laguna Seca. We can't tell you what we think about the driving characterstics of the car for a few days yet, but this teaser video of some of the...
