There are few people in the world with quite the patience for detail like Jonathan Ward and his Icon crew. It’s no secret that this little shop in California has been turning out some of the coolest resto-mod four-wheel drives of the last decade or more, but the “Derelict” line of revamped patinated treasures is often…
Like many sporty cars these days, the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 is only available with a transmission that is shifted by computer rather than three pedals and a hand rod thingy. The 3-liter twin-turbo Nissan VR30DDTT is a gem of an engine, and the Q60 chassis is pretty great, too. While the steering is a bit numb and…
As part of a declaration of intent to the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Chevrolet released these images of the Menlo model ahead of its official unveiling early next month. Menlo is the Chinese-market name for the Bolt-based electric compact crossover, which will likely be called Bolt EUV…
The front-wheel drive hot hatch wars have been raging on for decades. Volkswagen owned the scene with the GTI for a good long run, but in recent years it’s been bouncing around between Renault’s Megane, Honda’s Civic Type R, and the venerable German. With the most recent hot FWD Frenchie, the Megane RS Trophy-R,…
We’ve known a bigger and badder 2020 BMW M3 is on the horizon for some time now, and we’ve suspected that it will make use of the M division’s new S58 engine, a punchy 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six which first bowed in the X3 M and X4 M. We also surmised that the new M3 might at least offer AWD as an option. In a…
Back in 1965 this was the first car from Ingolstadt to feature four-stroke internal combustion. With... Oh no! The demon child of Bavaria has been set loose again on the mortal world. Do not look it directly in the eyes.
Acura has not had a sporty model wearing the Type S moniker since the Canada-only Civic-based CSX Type S, which left the world in 2011. In the 8 years since Acura has spent some time developing sporty hybrid models, including the totally awesome NSX hybrid sports car, and a series of performance minded A-spec badged…
Far be it from me to influence your political choices, but I urge you to consider Impulse Turbo/CRX as an option for 2020. They won’t let you down.
The German Grand Prix last Sunday was Mercedes’ worst race in recent memory, and one the team would probably like to forget. While we, the fans, would like to watch the seemingly perfect team implode because of some bad tire choices during the next season of Netflix’s Drive to Survive with a big gulp and a comically…
These days every sports car interior is packed with carbon and Alcantara, Pagani included. That makes for a very dull and drab color palette. Carbon is great as a material, but it never works as an aesthetic, making the inside of your car either too shiny or too dark. And Alcantara, by nature, is a dull and muted…
Do it for the Vine. I ain’t gonna do it.
Porsche has already taken about 30,000 pre-orders for its all-electric sports sedan. The car has not yet been seen in final production specification, but simply the idea of an electric Porsche has people all over the world champing at the bit to get in line for one. The car won’t even be shown until September’s…
Nissan has had a rough go at the whole making and selling cars thing this year, as evidenced by the company’s June financial statement released Tuesday afternoon and covered by Automotive News.
With the exciting announcement of a revamped Porsche 911 earlier this year, the 992-generation car launched in Carrera S and Carrera 4S guise. After a few months of anxious waiting, we finally have the details on Porsche’s base model 911. The Carrera and Carrera Cabriolet were unveiled Monday afternoon, still with a…
Spotted today in San Francisco, a very determined El Camino owner using his car/truck as a truck/car. I guess everybody is workin’ for the weekend.
It’s been five long years since the IMSA sports car racing grid lined up at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the final of three annual Brickyard Grand Prix races [above]. Since then, major international sports car racing has avoided the circuit for one reason or another. That will finally be rectified next fall when…
Racing is a dangerous sport, and motorcycle racing doubly so. For the last 29 years motorcycles have competed for ever more incredible record times up the hill at Pikes Peak. In fact, the very first motorcycle record up the mountain was set a few months before the race officially began (below). One would have thought…
The car you see here is not a radio controlled toy, it is a real-deal proper off-roader built by slamming a $50 vintage Chevrolet Camaro body on top of a Hummer H1 chassis. With huge turbocharged and nitrous-injected GM LS V8 power, massive tires, and four wheel steering, this Camaro is unlike any other I’ve ever…
