It's hard to beat American muscle for hauling tail in a straight line and one of the best in the business is Chrysler’s Street and Racing Technology division, or SRT for short. The Chrysler go-fast division has built some memorable cars in the past, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, one...

We found out earlier this week that Top Gear USA would get its own Stig (and no, he's not the fat one) as well as the Suzuki SX4 as its small car for big stars. Today, the History Channel has loosed another pair of trailers for the show, and the air date of the first episode: November 21. The two...

We've already had a peek at the eight Camaros that Chevrolet plans to bring to the SEMA show in Las Vegas next week.

We already know Ford is planning an onslaught of 2011 Fiestas for SEMA, but so far Chevrolet has been largely quiet on its plans for the aftermarket specialty show. Today we get a "sneak peek" at what it's calling its "surprises" for SEMA. The surprises may lie in the hint at future production...

Your GPS navigator can already talk to you. A new device wants to let it touch you. A group at the University of Utah recently added direction-indicating knobs to a steering wheel that nudge the driver's fingers to tell them where to go. It seems the future car will employ many of the driver's...

Drag racing is a special kind of motorsport, lived in incredibly short bursts dotted between marathon wrenching sessions to keep the high-strung, high-output cars working at their best. American muscle has long been a preferred base for some of the most dedicated draggers, and the 2011 Ford Mustang...

Yes, folks, it's happened again: Gran Turismo 5, the long-awaited, much-hyped, console driving sim to end all sims--the one that was definitely, absolutley going to be launched, finally, November 2, is yet again delayed. But we have a video of the game's built-in custom course making feature to...

The upcoming Camaro Z28 has had Internet forums abuzz for a while now, and the latest report on Camaro5 may have had some Camaro fans searching for flights to Detroit in January--at least until one forum member who appears to work for GM shot that rumor down. The story goes like this: A forum...

It's Wednesday evening. Sometimes you need a little something to push the week along, and for us, that little something is often big speed and loud power laid on willing asphalt. So here you go. Witness the gullwinged Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 in action, followed by the Maserati GranTurismo MC...

As you might've heard, there's going to be a third Transformers film. Megan Fox isn't involved. Michael Bay is. We've already begun stockpiling tomatoes. The shoot for Transformers III: Lube Job (or whatever they're calling it) hasn't been going all that great. You might recall last month's tragic...

The crew over at Mustangs Daily has a video from the Paris Auto Show where Ford design chief J Mays hints at what the company might have in store for the 50th anniversary of the Mustang in 2014, as well as a transcription of those parts of the interview. Mays reveals very little, but he does say...

The BMW/Rahal Letterman Racing team may have taken the overall American Le Mans Series driver's and team championships this year, but Corvette Racing continues to learn--and to win where it can. Petit Le Mans, the 10-hour or 1,000-mile season closer held each year at Road Atlanta, turned out to be...

We've become familiar with Red Bull F1's excellent simulator-based previews of upcoming Grand Prix weekends, but this time, we get something special: a full CGI preview of a never-before-seen circuit: the International Circuit in South Korea. Built specifically to hold an F1 race this season, the...

You know what? We are not on top of everything. For example, we just found out that Selma Blair and Neve Campbell are different people. And apparently, the Olsen Twins can't feel one another's pain. And, pull tabs on sodas? WHERE DID THEY GO YOU GUYS? Also, according to our colleagues at Celebrity...

The production of the third installment of the Transformers franchise has suffered another setback this week with one of the stars of the show, the Bumblebee Chevrolet Camaro, getting involved in a crash with a real police vehicle.

If you haven't heard about Google's secret driverless car program by now, you must have taken quite a nap. The Internet giant has been out on the roads with cars that can handle their own business in traffic, racking up 140,000 miles of testing. To prove the concept, Google even took a 1,000 mile...

Mazda has always been a slightly quirky brand -- just offbeat enough to develop a community of rabid fans. So it's fitting that the automaker would choose to sponsor a nationwide tour for the equally quirky musician Mayer Hawthorne. If you don't know about Hawthorne (nee Andrew Mayer Cohen), you...

Making a luxurious Camaro Convertible without sacrificing its muscle-car cred? That's what the team behind the Neiman Marcus Edition Chevrolet Camaro Convertible set out to do. This video gives you an up-close look to judge how well they did. Given that it's entirely an appearance treatment of the...

Sleek lines, the raw Ferrari-tinged engine note, and more go-fast focus than the grand touring GranTurismo make the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale the Trident we want. This video just spikes our desire. Tail-out, tires screaming, engine wailing, the MC Stradale lives it up on track in this video...
