Tanner Foust can really drive. It's almost like the Formula Drift and Rallycross champion made a deal with the devil to be so good at it.

Last year, we shared a video showing the team at AMS Performance taking its Nissan GT-R to the quarter-mile dragstrip and setting a new world record. The Alpha Omega GT-R blitzed down the strip in just 7.48 seconds. The trap speed was in the low 190-mph range. It's an insane show of speed for a car...

Engine swaps into Smart ForTwos aren't all that uncommon, but there's a special kind of absurdity with this one's 1,500-horsepower, helicopter-sourced jet engine. Technically, Mike West's Smart car wasn't the recipient of an engine swap since it retains its stock unit for on-road driving. Instead...

Singer Vehicle Design's two latest "restored, reimagined, and reborn" Porsche 911s will be on display at this weekend's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, where they'll probably do a pretty good job of distracting audiences from the event's more subdued classic cars. The two models to be shown at...

The 2016 Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Mustang Shelby GT350, especially in GT350R track tune, is probably the greatest performing Mustang of all time.

Texas tuner John Hennessey has turned his sights on the new Chevrolet Camaro, more than doubling the factory-build Camaro SS's 455-horsepower output. With 1,000 horsepower, the 2016 Camaro SS Hennessey HPE1000 Supercharged Upgrade will no doubt be blindingly fast in a straight line. It's worth...
