No, a flock of parakeets didn't just get loose in the room. That's the sound of the Renault Megane RS's tires (most likely the overworked fronts) as it sets its Nurburgring front-drive lap record of 8:07.97. For the full scoop on the record run, check out our previous article here.
The 2012 Dodge Charger and 2012 Chrysler 300 offer fresh takes on familiar names, with more style per dollar than most, particularly in the V-6 models. Unfortunately for those looking to get one in the garage soon, the pre-order books appear to be closed--for now. Demand for V-6 models equipped with the new 8-speed ZF automatic transmission is so...
Like most car enthusiasts, your author spent (wasted?) plenty of afternoons making Hot Wheels toy cars perform acrobatic stunts in plastic loop de loops. Well, Hot Wheels decided to perform the real-life version of such a stunt at this year's Indy 500, with Tanner Foust at the wheel. Foust set a world record with a jump of 332 feet, and as one...
It's early yet, especially for the American market, as we're not due to receive the Audi S6, S7 or S8 until late in 2012 or early 2013, but reports of the powertrains to be found under their hoods have emerged from Germany. The news isn't especially surprising, as we've already heard the S8 is expected to get a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 rating at...
The shooting brake (or break, for the obstinately homophonic) is one of our favorite form factors, mingling the svelte simplicity of a coupe with the utility of a small hatchback or wagon. This 1965 Mustang Sport Wagon is an exemplar of the breed, and something we must have in our garage someday. Custom built by Joe Ramp, this exquisite example of...
With all the rumors of name-changes and new models at BMW, it's getting hard to keep track of what's going to be what--and the latest report out of the U.K. makes it that much harder. Is BMW planning an all-wheel drive roadster? That could be the case, according to CAR. Sporting a soft top, more basic (read: less expensive) features, and aiming at...
Ask enthusiasts what the lap record is for a production car around the Nürburgring, and you’re bound to get different answers. If you consider the Radical Sportscars SR8 LM to be a production car, the record stands at 6:48; if you’re looking for a more mainstream manufacturer of production cars, the new Porsche GT2 RS has the best...
Coming off a win in the GTE Pro class at Le Mans, Corvette Racing is riding high, beating back the Ferraris, BMWs, and Porsches to take endurance racing's top honor. This video offers us a chance to ride along with Ollie Gavin as he laps the famous Circuit de la Sarthe. Gavin narrates the lap, explaining what he's doing with the car as he flies...
