In what seems a never-ending escalation of sales prices--despite the global economy--another Ferrari 250 GTO has claimed the title of world's most expensive car. This time, it's a 1963 250 GTO that sold for $52 million. The car is an ex-racer from the collection of Paul Pappalardo, reports...

BMW turns 100 in 2016 and no doubt the automaker has plenty in store for the celebrations. One celebratory event may turn out to be the launch of a hardcore version of the upcoming M4 sports car, similar to 2009’s M3 GTS model. The information was reported by Car Sales, citing an anonymous...

The highly-anticipated Caterham-Alpine sports car is getting closer to production.

The rear-wheel drive car is something of an endangered species. Aside from dedicated luxury and sports car brands, there just aren't many rear-drive cars out there. Why? It's really quite simple: front-drive cars make better use of the passenger space by getting ride of the driveshaft tunnel and...

A few years back if you were told BMW’s hallowed M division would be launching SUVs, installing turbochargers and striving for improved fuel efficiency, you’re immediate assumption would be that the person telling you all this was crazy. Fast forward to today and we have the X5 M and X6...

The Nissan GT-R is a supercar for all seasons.

French automaker Peugeot has been slowly expanding its lineup of performance cars over the past couple of years, most recently with the 270-horsepower RCZ R coupe and before that with the 208 GTI. At the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show last month, Peugeot unveiled a high-performance concept car based on...

Just a few days ago, we saw Mercedes race an A45 AMG against a downhill longboarder in a beautifully choreographed video. Now NISMO takes it to the next level--literally. If there's any sport more insane than riding a wingsuit off the face of a cliff, we don't want to know about it. Just watching...

This is what it sounds like when all seven generations of the Porsche 911 join forces to play their flat-six song. It's beautiful. Accompanied by the screeching of tires and little else, the seven 911s storm around an empty warehouse, sliding and spinning, creating their own jazz symphony. Then...

The G-Power name has become synonymous with extreme BMWs; that’s because for the past 30 years the tuning firm has been churning out some of the fastest examples of the German luxury cars on the planet. In 2009, G-Power’s M5-based Hurricane RS broke the world record for the fastest...

Hennessey Performance Engineering does many things we envy, from the Venom GT to its ridiculous/awesome CTS-Vs. But this we don't so much envy--we've already driven the Stingray hard. We can't say it surprises us, either. But it's still impressive. A bone-stock, automatic-transmission Stingray, the...

This year’s SEMA show is only a month away, which means information on some of the show’s stars is starting to trickle out. Hyundai looks to be one of the more aggressive attendees this year, with the Korean automaker today revealing its second modified vehicle set to appear in the...

Last month reports emerged claiming Nissan’s next GT-R, the R36, would be introduced as early as the 2016 model year and that it would likely come with some form of vehicle electrification in order to boost its performance while also cutting back on emissions and fuel consumption. In fact, a...

During a presentation at the University of Vienna today, Volkswagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch revealed plans for a Ducati-powered version of the Volkswagen XL1 called the XL Sport. It's an idea we had already half-expected, but it's still welcome to see in reality. The engine is the...

The idea of a hot crossover has yet to really take off, but that isn't stopping Audi from trying to blaze the trail with the 2014 RS Q3. While we wait in suspense to hear if Audi will finally bring the Q3 to the U.S., we doubt the RS Q3 will follow. Too bad for us, as this blend of tall hot hatch...

Just yesterday, BMW released the first official technical details on the 2014 BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe. Today, we have photos of the first 2014 M3 crash, fresh from the Nürburgring. Our spies tell us the crash occurred during testing at the 'Ring today, at the Metzgesfeld area of the course...

The Lexus IS F was, when introduced in 2008, the brand's first real attempt to meet the BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz C Class AMG head-on. For the most part, it was a success, even if it didn't top either of the Germans. Today, Lexus released info on its 2014 IS F, and it's almost exactly the same as...

Porsche ad man and Pikes Peak racer Jeff Zwart explains his obsession with the 911.

Rumors about the newest version of the BMW M3 Sedan and the new M4 Coupe have been circulating for years, and some of them have been pretty wild.
