As America prepares to witness the merger of the American Le Mans Series and Grand Am into the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, Ford is preparing its weapon of war: this Daytona prototype powered by a racing version of the automaker’s familiar 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6. Its first race is the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona in January. This...

This week started off with a bang as we watched Jay Leno take a spin in Batman's Tumbler. Were we a bit jealous? Yes, but then again, Jay always seems to be hopping into the latest piece of awesome. Hyundai's preparing for SEMA as it released a sketch of its modified Veloster Turbo dubbed the EGR Night Racer. Since it's aimed at attacking night...

The Tesla Model S fire that we asked everyone not to get all worked up about because it's just like any other car fire is still not a big deal (in fact, it may be less of a deal than an ordinary car fire)--but it's interesting to see that the owner of the car that burned understands that, too. Owner Robert Carlson wrote an email in response to...

Honda wants to show just how capable the new NSX is. The Japanese car maker has produced a video in which an NSX Concept-GT race car is hooked up to a bunch of tea kettles, creating what is surely the greatest Rube Goldberg device ever. Who said supercars don't have any practical uses? While we haven't had a chance to sample any tea produced by...

We've all seen them on the road: tight spandex shorts, brightly colored jerseys, often flocked together like some kind of wheeled formation of tropical birds, migrating from one place to another. Cyclists. They're slow, they get in the way, they put themselves and others at risk just by being there. Or is it really our burden as drivers to be...

If you thought blind people couldn't drive, you were wrong. With an average speed of 186 mph, an ex-bank manager from Manchester, England has set a land speed record for blind people, the BBC reports. Mike Newman, 52, set the record in a Porsche 911 at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. A spotter in a chase car relayed directions through a radio in...

Growing up in California can numb you to some of the beautiful vistas and otherworldly landscapes, as well as the cultural and historic significance of many of its landmarks. But those same things seen through the eyes of a Brit on a road trip can make them all fresh again. It's easy to get mired in the day-to-day: unrelenting traffic, smog, ugly...

Yesterday's shootout in Washington, D.C. created plenty of anxiety in a city already unnerved by the recent Washington Navy Yard shooting and ongoing government shutdown. A woman with a one-year-old child led police on a high speed chase through the city, which ended tragically when she was shot and killed near the Capitol. In this video (via...
