Land Rover’s popular Range Rover Evoque is entering the 2014 model year with a series of important updates, including a world-first nine-speed automatic transmission. The good news is that pricing hasn’t gone up with the number of gears, as the 2014 Range Rover Evoque is still priced from a very reasonable $41,995. That gets you the...

Just a few days ago, we saw Mercedes race an A45 AMG against a downhill longboarder in a beautifully choreographed video. Now NISMO takes it to the next level--literally. If there's any sport more insane than riding a wingsuit off the face of a cliff, we don't want to know about it. Just watching stuff like this gives us the willies--and we're...

This is what it sounds like when all seven generations of the Porsche 911 join forces to play their flat-six song. It's beautiful. Accompanied by the screeching of tires and little else, the seven 911s storm around an empty warehouse, sliding and spinning, creating their own jazz symphony. Then they team up to play us an actual song: the happy...

Cadillac is just a week out from unveiling its redesigned 2015 Escalade, but today the American luxury brand released the first photo of the big SUV’s interior. We’re glad to report that the 2015 Escalade appears to have finally received the interior worthy of its luxury positioning. Mercedes-Benz is working on a new sports car...

Maserati’s new Ghibli sedan is close to making its showroom debut, but here’s a chance to look back at the car during its development days. In addition to extensive testing in the real world, Maserati engineers also use a sophisticated climatic wind tunnel to put the Ghibli through simulated extreme weather conditions. This video shows...

Ford's EcoBoost engines are winning over customers, and now Ford thinks they will win on the track. Ford Racing posted a photo of a shadowed Grand Am Daytona Prototype on its Facebook page, teasing a race-tuned EcoBoost that will power several of the cars during the 2014 season. The Daytona Prototype is set to join the premier class in American...

Earlier this year, a prototype for a new Mercedes-Benz sports car being developed by engineers at AMG was spotted on public roads. The new sports car is to serve as the replacement for the SLS AMG but will be smaller and more agile, helping it better compete with the likes of the Audi R8 and Porsche 911. Officials at Mercedes are yet to confirm...

Students from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have smashed the electric car world record for the 0-60 mph run using a car built themselves. Their time, using the DUT13 electric car pictured above, was a blistering 2.15 seconds. The time is for acceleration to 100 kmh (62 mph). The previous record stood at 2.68 seconds. As...

The G-Power name has become synonymous with extreme BMWs; that’s because for the past 30 years the tuning firm has been churning out some of the fastest examples of the German luxury cars on the planet. In 2009, G-Power’s M5-based Hurricane RS broke the world record for the fastest street-legal sedan with a top speed of 228 mph, and in...

Since stepping down from the CEO position at Caterham a year ago, British businessman Ansar Ali has now revealed details on his next project, which, like Caterham, centers on lightweight track cars. That next project is Zenos Cars, which Ali is co-founder and director of. Ali describes Zenos as a company that specializes in the design, manufacture...
Some things just don't go together. Mustard and chocolate. Camaros and caviar. Aston Martin and minicars. The Toyota iQ-based Cygnet is dead. Rumors of the Cygnet's death have swirled for a week now, but Autocar confirms the minicar is out of production and won't be revived. Aston Martin had intended the Cygnet as a hand-crafted, compact city...
There is the proper way to drive in the rain, and then there's what this Russian Camaro driver is doing. Though to be fair, he might be better served by the lessons learned at an off-road school like the Land Rover Experience, since the rain on this Russian street appears to be more like a series of small, paved lakes. Pushing a bow wave is the...
Hennessey Performance Engineering does many things we envy, from the Venom GT to its ridiculous/awesome CTS-Vs. But this we don't so much envy--we've already driven the Stingray hard. We can't say it surprises us, either. But it's still impressive. A bone-stock, automatic-transmission Stingray, the first customer car known to have hit the strip...
[WARNING: This video contains content that many will find disturbing. Watch at your own risk.] Riding a motorcycle on the street is dangerous--not so much because of the two-wheeled nature of the motorcycle itself, but because of the lack of protection and the inattention of "cagers"--people in cars, trucks, and SUVs. But sometimes riding a...
