It's his toys that make us curious, as Olsson is known for buying and...

Barrett-Jackson auctions see many Chevrolet Corvettes pass the block, but this one is a little different.

For most people, anything north of 400 horsepower is quite intimidating. It's a massive amount of waiting energy that's set to be released at a moment's notice. Still, we live in a golden age of horsepower, which means there is a heck of a lot of vehicles you can choose from that offer far more...

Do you ever head out in your Chevrolet Camaro, punch the gas, and wish you had more traction? That's a plausible scenario.

When Audi decided to take its diminutive A1, it probably figured that an S variant would soon follow. The automaker probably never considered, however, that someone would buy an S1 and stuff a set of tracks in the wheel wells. Someone did, and all we can say is that we want to give it a go...
