Back in 1989 Lexus ran a television commercial highlighting the refinement of its LS 400 luxury sedan by sitting a tower of champagne glasses on its bonnet while it attempted a 145 mph run on a dyno. Suffice it to say, the glasses didn’t tumble and Lexus could proudly boast that its flagship sedan was one of the smoothest running vehicles on...

Lingenfelter is certainly no stranger to modifying muscle cars and its latest kit sees some big numbers from the Challenger’s line of Hemi V-8s despite the relatively mild...
We first saw the computer-generated teaser shots of the BAC Mono a week ago but already brothers Neill and Ian Briggs from Cheshire, in the UK, have revealed the production version of their new BAC Mono lightweight roadster. Built in the same vein as cars like the KTM X-Bow, Lotus 2-11, and Ariel Atom, it's a variation on the theme of lightweight...
The BMW M3 and Audi RS5 better look out as their rival from Stuttgart has just unveiled a sledgehammer of a two-door in the form of the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe.
