The first known crash involving a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta took place in China.

Sport Utility Vehicles often lack in the sport--unless you count the ability to stick some surfboards on top and take an ice chest, the dog, and the kids along as "sport." Some, however, have found the truer meaning of the word, and it looks like the newest of them might just be the 2014 Audi SQ5...

Lamborghini has just introduced its final update for the Gallardo before its successor arrives sometime in the next 12 to 18 months, but the previous models are still well worth the look if you’re in the market for a supercar you can drive everyday. This latest episode of Jay Leno’s...
