The McLaren 12C GT Sprint isn't your typical special-edition supercar. It's been completely upgraded by McLaren GT, the company's racing arm, for full-on track-day duty. Jaguar's Project 7 is another factory-born race-focused special, but it's a one-off design concept. Even if it's not a production car, it's a very good take on the F-Type's...

"Breakin' the law, breakin' the law." -- Judas Priest When you just wanna blow stuff up, fly choppers into fountains, and hoon a parking garage so hard you fly right off the top of it, there are only two places to go: the loony bin, or Grand Theft Auto. OK, so there are many more ways to get highly criminal in a virtual world. But the Grand Theft...
The next vehicle to join SRT’s ever-expanding lineup may be a tuned version of the latest 2014 Jeep Cherokee, according to a new report. Citing an inside source, Allpar is reporting that a Jeep Cherokee SRT is in the works and due out soon. The vehicle would feature a ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and, presumably, all-wheel drive...

A facelifted version of Audi’s A8 flagship sedan is due to be revealed at this September’s 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, and we have a new batch of spy shots of a prototype as it undergoes final evaluation.

Earlier this year we brought you details on the next supercar project from avid car collector James Glickenhaus, the man behind 2006’s one-off Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina and its racing sibling, the P4/5 Competizione, unveiled in 2011. At the time, we told you the car would be powered by a twin-turbocharged V-6, weigh about 1,600 pounds...

The promised special concept based on the Jaguar F-Type is called Project 7. It will debut at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed--and it's not the F-Type coupe. Reduced to a single-seater with a D-Type-style fairing and carbon fiber aerodynamic work the Project 7 sprints to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and hits a top speed of 186 mph. Power comes from...
The team at Drive has put together dozens of truly entertaining, genuinely interesting, and often informative videos. But this may be one of their best: an incredibly hands-on tour and behind-the-scenes look at the Morgan Motor Company's operations. There's everything from aluminum chassis details to the finer arts of bending and bonding wood for...
The BMW 3-Series coupe is dead, long live the BMW 4-Series. If you agree, you may be ready to start planning out a compact coupe of your own. Now you can do just that because the BMW 4-Series configurator is up and running on the automaker's website. The cheapest way in is the 428i, which starts at $40,500. Should you prefer to start at the top...
The NASDAQ isn't exactly a top topic amongst most gearheads, nor is its NASDAQ-100 Index, used to track the exchange's climate. But as of July 15, Tesla Motors will become one of the 100 companies that compose the index. That will make Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] the only automaker listed in the index, owing mostly to the fact that it's the only automaker...
McLaren is planning an unprecedented showing of its rarest race cars and production models at this week’s 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. After all, McLaren turns 50 this year and where better to celebrate than at the company’s local automotive gathering, the annual event that takes place on the grounds of Goodwood House...
