Mansory's 1,600 HP Aventador And Other Geneva Stars: Live Photos

It may not have taken...

12-Rotor Rotary Engine Potentially Capable Of Space/Time Manipulation: Video

Chevrolet has only recently pulled the wraps off its new Camaro Z/28. The first press drives of the car occurred about two weeks ago, and our own ride along of the development cars happened at the end of 2013. That doesn't mean that aftermarket tuning companies don't have their plans in order. In fact, Callaway is ready to go with a rather wild tune up of the already aggressive two door. MUST WATCH: Hennessey Venom GT Blasts Down Runway At 270 MPH The car is called the Callaway Camaro Z/28 SC652. It's that last bit of alphanumerics that should get you excited. The SC stands for supercharger...

Big fan of Chevrolet's Silverado pickup but just wish it was a little more exciting? Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive might have the answer, in the shape of the recently-announced Reaper. The steroidal Silverado matches Lingenfelter's tuning expertise with Southern Comfort Automotive's styling wizardry to turn the regular Silverado into a dune-bashing, high-end performance pickup. It's the styling tweaks you'll notice first, the Silverado's usual upright chrome grille replaced by a shark-like nose whose edges shade the headlights in a menacing-looking scowl. In addition to the new...

We all get crazy little ideas. Most of us dismiss them as pointless, unrealistic, or just silly. John Bitmead is not most of us. No, Englishman Bitmead got his crazy little idea and immediately set about bringing it to life: an adult-scale Little Tikes car. Yes, an open-air car with no windshield in rainy Britain. MUST SEE: Mercedes-Benz Brings G63 AMG 6x6 To the Northeast At 1,000 hours and £4,000 (about $6,600) to build, it was no minor undertaking. So why did he do it? Bitmead explained to the BBC, "I just thought, what a wonderful idea, to make something like that but real." In...

Switzer Nissan GT-R Hits 1,212 HP On The Dyno
Running 33 psi of boost is, by some standards, not all that extreme. Running 33 psi of boost in a flame-spitting Nissan GT-R built for the purpose by Switzer is nutty. Our kind of nutty. Like 1,212-horsepower nutty. Of course, that's horsepower at the crank. At the wheels you'll find...
