If you’re mad enough to think the regular SLS AMG and its 563 horsepower is a little lacking, the people at AMG, official tuner to Mercedes-Benz, has something that will blow you away. They have revealed the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, which not only brings more power to the...

There are many reasons why the friends of those of us lucky enough to write about cars profess to hate and envy us. Most of them are completely valid. Driving a passel of brand-new 2014 Audi R8s, including the new V10 Plus model, on track in northern Italy and over the Alps is just one of the...

While drooling over brochures of the Matech GT1 Ford GT, Ray Hofman, owner of RH Motorsports, had an idea: build a version of the Ford GT that looked like a race car, yet remained street legal and (relatively) comfortable to drive. If such a car appealed to him, Hofman thought, it would likely...
