Duel was a 1971 movie directed by Steven Spielberg and featuring a guy in a Plymouth Valiant being chased by a semi truck. Now, there's a much less terrifying version, with a much better car. "The Duel" features former Stig Ben Collins in a very Top Gear-esque challenge: a man vs. machine paint battle against a parkour runner. Collins' weapon of...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray holds the honor of being the only car on the market with more than 455 horsepower and a 29 mpg highway EPA gas mileage rating. But that's only if you opt for the seven-speed manual. Choose the automatic and you'll lose 1 mpg city and highway. Gas mileage ratings for the 2014 Stingray with the six-speed auto...

[WARNING: The video above contains graphic scenes of the vehicular attack on pedestrians. Watch at your own risk.] Video games get a lot of grief for promoting violence, and criminals often use them as excuses. Whether you believe video games are the cause or not, you have to admit there are times when life imitates are. This is one of those...

A 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO has claimed the title of world's most expensive car, selling privately for $53 million. That's about $18 million more than the last car to hold the title--which was another Ferrari 250 GTO. A Tesla Model S caught fire after an accident this week, and most of the media has blown the issue way out of proportion. We take the...

Tanner Foust is a rally driver, a Top Gear USA host, and the star of his own series, Life in the Foust Lane. He's also a stunt driver for various projects, like the McLaren/Forza Motorsport "Filmspeed" animation. Here Tanner Foust talks turkey with an insider's view of the project, including the difficulty of hitting just the right speed to make...

If you thought the Radical RXC was just a track-only toy that's not up to the harsh environment of real world streets, well, you're just wrong. Or at least that's the point the team behind the car is trying to make with this video, showing the RXC easily clearing an array of speed bumps. Naturally, the team cherry-picked some of the most...

Our friends and neighbors over at The Car Connection are just getting started on their 30 Days of the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 project, and we thought you'd like to see what they're up to. So far, they've kicked off the coverage with an outline of the plan, which includes in-depth looks at the CLA 250's features, technology, and powertrain, plus our...

This guy clearly has the right idea. First of all, the 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray is a great car. Tons of fun. Incredible value. Second, it makes a great gift. Especially when the recipient is your girlfriend. It might be cynical, but this is perhaps the best example of buying someone's affection we've ever seen (though she's a bit less visibly...

Ford Racing is gearing up to put its 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine on the line against some seriously powerful and proven V-8 engines in a Daytona Prototype race car next year. So what is it bringing to the table? A pair of glowing-red exhaust manifolds and a whole lot of optimism, apparently. We assume the optimism is due to the engineers knowing...

If you're at all into cars and have an Internet connection, you've seen the news about a Tesla Model S catching fire after hitting a metal object in the road the other day. Tesla Motors' [NSDQ:TSLA] stock prices have fallen sharply, with many crediting that fall as a result of the fire. People are freaking out. It needs to stop--at least for now...
