If you happen to have read our First Drive Review, you know we think the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V is way fun from behind the wheel. And if you watched the footage from behind the wheel as we took a 2011 CTS-V Coupe around Monticello Motor Club's track (ignore the driver's grimaces, please), you'll have a feel for how it drives and sounds. The last piece of our CTS-V coverage is a guided tour of the car's technology, or at least the parts under the hood. It comes courtesy of John Rydzewski, assistant chief of the small-block product team within the GM Powertrain group. He walks us through the many...

Reese Witherspoon Is Nothing If Not Loyal
All cards on the table: we think Reese Witherspoon is a big ol' slice of awesome. Not that she's fat or anything; when we say "big ol'", we just mean that she seems extremely awesome. She's a study in contrasts: a Southern girl with a tiny bit of a wild streak; pretty and refined, but not opposed...

Video: 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Laps Monticello Motor Club
Last week, we told you how much fun the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is from behind the wheel in our First Drive Review. Now, we can show you. This video was shot from inside a CTS-V Coupe we took around the very technical track at Monticello Motor Club, a racetrack that's normally only open to...

Pebble 2010: Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
We've told you all about the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in previews earlier this month, but at today's 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, we grabbed our first live photos of the world's new record holder for production-car top speed. Bugatti introduced the car on Saturday at The Quail 2010...

Who needs a reason to look at photos of collectible, unique, rare, or storied racing and sports cars? We sure don't. So we won't give you one this time around. If you've enjoyed these peeks through our lens of the many brilliant bits and pieces of the Quail gathering, hang on for a roundup of the best of the rest from Pebble Beach proper over the next few days--in addition to our ongoing live coverage from the event. Bonus points if you can name the cars from their detail shots.

Quail 2010: Odds And Ends Gallery, Part One
There are so many cars, so many objects of lust and art packed into California's central coast this weekend that it's simply too much to cover it all in detail. But ogling can be just as fun even if you don't know the name of the ogle-ee. Even this gallery contains just a sampling of the hundreds...

Pebble 2010: Picnicking On The Concept Lawn With Rolls-Royce
Back in July we brought you the full details on Rolls-Royce's bespoke picnic set for the Phantom, and today we snapped live photos of the car and kit in what may be their native environment: the concept lawn of the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The extramuros eating ensemble is even more...

The McLaren MP4-12C made its North American debut this weekend in Pebble Beach, following it up with an appearance on the concept lawn at the lodge. Though cordoned off behind taunting white plastic chains on the putting green, we still managed to snag a few shots for your viewing pleasure. In case you've forgotten, the McLaren MP4-12C is the first of a new set of McLaren sports and supercars, offering 600 twin-turbo horses from a 3.8-liter V-8 engine. A full 440 pound-feet of twist is routed through a McLaren Seamless Shift dual-clutch gearbox (SSG). Thanks to the forced induction, 80...

Quail 2010: A Pair of Packards
Before World War II, Packard was synonymous with Cadillac or Rolls-Royce, a standard bearer for luxury vehicles from any continent. This year at The Quail, a pair of Packards flaunted the elegant, opulent details that gave the brand its stellar reputation--fleeting though it was. We've captured two...

2011 Cadillac CTS-V: First Drive Review
It's not often that a manufacturer has the courage to turn dozens of auto journalists loose on a racetrack with pricey copies of its new, 556-horsepower performance coupe. So we were eager to get behind the wheel of the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and find out whether it was as much fun as the CTS-V...

There are three things we know for sure: 1. Life sucks. 2. That dude from Jet Blue completely staged his exit (which is not to say it wasn't awesome, though it pales in comparison to Wendy O. Williams' jump from a moving bus). 3. Tila Tequila is the love child of Anna Nicole Smith and Imelda Marcos, meaning that (a) she's CRAZY, and (b) Imelda is a man. We won't bother to provide proof of items #1 or #2, but for #3, please behold this clip of Tila Tequila showing off her Lamborghini Gallardo -- with shoes to match: We can't wait to see the porn film that (allegedly) helped finance Tila's...

Ryan Seacrest: 'Please Notice My Girlfriend. PLEASE.'
Hi, everybody! I'm Ryan Seacrest! You may remember me from such TV programs as American Idol and Bromance. That's a funny name, right? "Bromance"? It's like when two guys hang out a lot and really dig each other. BUT NOTHING ELSE. Would you like to see my girlfriend? Here she is, in the picture at...

Sign the petition to bring the Audi TT RS to U.S.
The potent Audi TT RS is selling up a storm in Europe but ask Audi when it will arrive in the U.S. and the only answer you will likely receive is that it’s still under consideration. Given the halo status of the hotted-up Coupe and Roadster, Audi would be foolish to ignore the U.S. market but...
