Ferrari’s F12 Berlinetta is near perfection in standard form, yet somehow the tuners at Novitec Rosso manage to consistently improve upon the car. The German tuner was one of the first to get its hands on the F12 and now, one year on, it has released a new wide-body conversion for the stunning supercar. Yes, Novitec’s new N-Largo...

My driving skills were originally honed all around New England, where I learned how to quickly parallel park on Boston side streets, handle rear-wheel-drive cars and trucks in the snow, and quickly react to aggressive cabbies who care not for my fenders. It was a great training ground for becoming a confident and capable driver. At least I thought...

The new Chevrolet Corvette is a pretty amazing machine. It offers a whole lot of performance for relatively short money. Still, the Corvette King of the past generation was, for many, the Z06 version. The Z06 is the Kentucky-bred badass that offers the best mix of furious power and potent performance at a trim fighting weight--despite the...

Barely disguised prototypes for BMW’s new 4-Series Convertible have been running around Europe for the past couple of months, but now we have the first official images of the completed car.

Kinishi Tanuma, Nissan’s new chief engineer for the GT-R, has some pretty big shoes to fill. He’s the replacement for Kazutoshi Mizuno, the man credited with making the current R35 GT-R the world-beating performance machine that it is. He was also a proponent of keeping the GT-R’s supercar-like performance accessible to the...

The Chrysler family is packing its bags for Las Vegas ahead of the upcoming 2013 SEMA show. They're packing heavy too, because there's going to be plenty of Mopar madness on display. Between Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Ram, and SRT, the automaker group is bringing 20 different vehicles to put on display. That's a lot of modified Mopar muscle to...

Crash tests are a necessary thing. A funny, necessary thing... which we enjoy watching. A vehicle that scores well shows us just how we can be protected in the event of an accident, and that's wonderful to see. On the flip side, a vehicle that does poorly provides an amusing vantage point of glorious destruction. It's pretty much always time for a...

This year, SEMA has car companies seeing yellow. Hyundai may have decked out its EGR Night Racer Veloster in "Yellowcake" paint, but Ford has a Mustang called Yellow Jacket. The Project Yellow Jacket Mustang was created by Ford and Vortech Superchargers. It's got plenty of stinging power under the hood (pun intended). The 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 was...

The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid doesn't have a transmission, so how does it work? The Accord Hybrid eschews every form of conventional automatic transmission--from dual-clutch to CVT--known to humanity in favor of a totally-new system. Honda's confusingly-named Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) consists of a gasoline engine, two electric motors...
