Having a Hellcat in your showroom is brilliant. For one thing, the muscle machine will lure customers in like a 707-pony bait. Thanks to the powers of the world wide web, you can now spread the Hellcat aroma further than ever before. But you'll need a salesman who knows his SRTs for that.
I'm a cat person myself, but even I have to agree that dogs are amazing. Sure, they still need our help going for walks and picking up their doo-doo, but they could be the most adaptable species of animal on the planet. Over the course of just 40,000 years, they separated from wolves and became perfectly adapted to modern human life. Someday, they might even be smart enough to drive cars. What does that have to do with Subaru? Just watch the commercials! (continue reading >>)
The internet can't get enough of the exploits of one Rashed Saleh. They're callng him a bad driver, among other things. But the guy is taking it like a champ and even jokes about deleting his Twitter account.
Given the marketing SRT used to promote their blown 6.2-liter V8, it's no wonder that demon-related jokes have been around just as long as the pair of Hellcats itself. However, we might have just come across the first evidence that the Dodge Challenger Hellcat is possessed.
For a company that's said to make the same car over and over again, Porsche sure has a lot of imagination. How else would you explain the new 718 Boxster model, a mid-life refresh with a hint of 918 hyper in its eyes?
Last year was a big one for the drifting world. Not only did we get the first-ever Lamborghini drift car, but we also witnessed the birth of the first Rolls-Royce drift machine.
Boredom is generally seen as an issue, but when somebody lists this as the reason for a build that sees an old Jeep Cherokee undergoing Lexus V8 heart surgery, we can't complain.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a really good commercial spot from a car maker, but this recent attempt from Audi USA is worth a mention, even though it will probably not make it up there with the greats.
While yesterday we showed you a rendering of a Mclaren 650S gifted with a Liberty Walk kit that came from the Japanese tuner's Instagram account, we are now back on the topic, as we have a new rendering for you.
Given the sheer practicality of a current generation Porsche 911 Turbo, it's not difficult to imagine all sorts of scenarios involving Zuffenhausen's supercar. However, we have to admit that a story involving a rusty 520 hp 911 is something that hasn't crossed our mind so far.
That's because German wrapping specialist Signal Reklame has only completed the Neunelfer project you see here last week.

You know, it’s stuff like this that has us believe things happen for a reason. We, non-millennials, bemoan the disappearing of driving cars and the proliferation of the driverless ones, while others don’t even bother to get their driver’s license.
These two things - people not being so interested in their ability to drive cars and the advent of autonomous cars - aren’t directly connected, but they s... (continue reading >>)
Like many other people on this planet, we've always had quite the curiosity when it came to the cars high-ranked Yakuza members use. However, for today, we want to stick to an exercise of imagination and we're inviting you to play along.
It's not difficult to see why the Japanese mobsters would find the Bentley way appropriate for their daily tasks, so we'll focus on the Continental GT Convertible in the image above - ... (continue reading >>)
In case you haven't had your internet connection ruined by the flood last year, you're probably aware of the Lamborghini Huracan that got drowned in the San Diego flood back in September.
We're talking about a Huracan that, according to the owner, had a microscopic mileage when it was st... (continue reading >>)
Audi has decided to invest further in the Seat factory in Martorell and will build the A1 there starting 2018.
The German brand is already using the Martorell works to build its Q3 SUV, and the introduction of the A1 strengthens the corporation’s trust in the Spanish facility. Currently, Audi manufactures its smallest model in its lineup in Belgium.
Meanwhile, the Audi Q3 SUV is only being made in Spa... (continue reading >>)
Whenever most people think about tuning their cars, the grille isn’t exactly the first thing they have in mind. Then again, perhaps their cars don’t have grilles as large as the Cadillac Escalade's.
Everything about the Escalade is either huge or even bigger, but once you get over the sheer massiveness of it all, the one thing that strikes the most is its radiator grille. Whether it’s because it sits rig... (continue reading >>)
With all the hype that's been built around the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and its street racing side, people tend to forget just how quick the Challenger SRT8 392 is. The latest example of this kind comes from the video below, which shows one of these muscle cars gifted with bolt-ons.
The Challenger takes part in a street race (you know the drill - do not try this at home) that also involves a Fox Body Mustang. Fret not, your time will... (continue reading >>)
Testing one's riding skills and the machine's limits when climbing steep hills is certainly fun, especially when on an ATV, but this doesn't come without risks.
For starters, it's often more dangerous to find a safe way to return to the foot of the hill after reaching a certain point, and if one can't even turn the machine around, things are even harder.
Turning an ATV or a motorcycle on... (continue reading >>)
Volkswagen Group’s top executives in South Korea will face criminal charges because of the Dieselgate situation.

Kia is trying to keep things fresh for one of its most successful models worldwide, the almost impossible to categorize Soul (is it a crossover, a beefed up hatchback, a minivan, or all of the above?), and so it’s already preparing a facelift for the second generation that’s only been with us for two years now.
The car was first spotted less than a week ago, but in the meantime, it has been traveling North and has now ... (continue reading >>)
Ducati unveils their all-new HV-1 Pro helmet, a lid manufactured by renowned maker Arai and whose graphics have been created by Altro Drudi of Drudi Performance fame.
Hi-viz motorcycle helmets are a thing, and a very good one, at least for riders who are concerned about being easier to see for the rest of the motorists. While loud colors are especially favorable for daytime rides in overcast, rainy weather, reflective panels on the riding... (continue reading >>)
Bad news for Ford Motor Co., as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently investigating around 400,000 Ford Focus compact cars after a lot of people have complained that doors won’t latch properly or even opened while their cars were moving.
The targeted units are those from the 2012 and 2013 model years. Apparently, this is not the first time the American company is facing this kind of issue, as last year... (continue reading >>)

The Tesla Model X is the company’s third model and it was just released late last year, with a delay of “only” a few years.
While Hoerbiger, the German supplier in question accused of not meeting its part of the deal, isn’t solely to blame for the late appearance of Tesla’s electric SUV, its inability to deliver the promised quality in the signature door system was one of the major setback... (continue reading >>)
MINI is testing its second-generation Countryman near the Arctic Circle, and we now bring you a fresh set of spyshots of the pre-production prototype.
This time, our spy photographers have spotted a MINI Countryman prototype in a cool shade of red with yellow camouflage. The color is unusual for a prototype, as manufacturers usually test white, grey, and black cars at this stage, but apparently MINI likes to be original even when testing ... (continue reading >>)
As the CO2 emission problem has become crucial in recent years and more carmakers are developing or already having hybrid technology in their cars, Porsche says it will do the same for the next-gen 911, and is preparing a plug-in hybrid version that will hit the market somewhere around 2020.
A lot of statements from the carmakers’ key people are still surfacing from the North American International Auto Show. It’s Erh... (continue reading >>)
If somebody were to write a sad story based in the automotive universe, he could do a lot worse than what happened to Billy Crider, a real estate agent from Ohio.
It’s safe to say that Billy is a true petrolhead, but he just lacked the financial means of pursuing his dreams. Then, one day - and I’m trying really hard here not to say “he got a stroke of luck” - he was hit by a drunk driver, got a set... (continue reading >>)
This is less of a problem in more civilized countries (or, more to the point, among more civilized people), but there are still those who think the seatbelt is useless, as their driving skills will prevent them from ever being involved in a crash.
And so they don’t use it. With older vehicles - such as the one in the clip below - it’s easy, you ignore it and leave it to hang there on the inside of the B-pillar. Newer,... (continue reading >>)
The Jeep name doesn’t carry the same weight over in Europe as it does in the United States of America, and that’s perfectly explainable.
With models that were either outdated or irrelevant for the European market, the company was struggling to find customers on an ever increasingly crowded segment. While Jeep had tradition and history on its side, the European clients felt more attracted to the posher vehicles offered ... (continue reading >>)
We somehow find a bit of an educational side to the footage below, which is why we've decided to share the clip with you. We've seen burning supercars, Lamborghinis includes, on many occasions before and, unfortunately, we'll probably see just as many in the future, but this Aventador's case happens to serve as an X-Ray for high-octane-related first world problems.
The story starts with your typical showoff valet, who ... (continue reading >>)
In a recent interview at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Ian Robertson, BMW AG board member for sales and marketing, revealed that the 2017 i3 would come with an improved lithium-ion battery pack, which will make it possible for the car to have a better range, 50 percent more than the current one.
The official didn’t give exact figures, but 50 percent means somewhere around 120 miles (around 200 km) on a s... (continue reading >>)

Do you know why those stupid little hurdles we get upset about because we’re so spoiled are called “first world problems?” It’s because here, in the first world, they actually are problems.
And one of the most annoying of them all is having to wait for your package to be delivered right after you’ve waited long enough for payday or to save sufficient money to afford the purchase. You final... (continue reading >>)
BMW engineers are currently testing the next generation of the best-selling 3 Series.
Codenamed G20, the upcoming 3 Series is expected to be launched in 2017 and comes with many changes from the recently facelifted current generation. The next generation of BMW’s best-selling nameplate will get a longer wheelbase to give its rear passengers more room.
Instead of gaining weight from the increase in siz... (continue reading >>)

Guy Martin has confirmed that he will not make the start in the Tourist Trophy this year and that he plans to focus on other things, even though he is not through with motorbikes.
The charismatic road racer Guy Martin declared previously that he has no intentions of taking part in this year's TT races in the Isle of Man, but many thought it was all a thing caused by the recent crash he was involved in, at the Dundrod race. (continue reading >>)
2015 MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo adopted a much calmer tone when speaking about the upcoming season and the relationship with his teammate Valentino Rossi. All the cocky remarks and attacks on Rossi we saw at the end of the season are gone, at least in declarative terms.

Well, last Sunday, a gas station in Houghton Lake, Michigan, posted prices that ... (continue reading >>)
Lamborghini is one of the world’s most popular carmakers, known for its incredible cars powered by monstrous engines. Replacing those howling V12 and V10 engines with an electric motor would indeed be a crime. Don’t worry, because this won’t happen, at least not in the near future, as Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann recently stated.
As more and more automakers became eco-friendly and started building tons ... (continue reading >>)

KTM is, undoubtedly, one of the strongest players in the motorcycle industry, and the economic figures for 2015 are quite significant as to the Austrian company's prowess. In 2015, KTM surpassed the €1 billion milestone, with revenue that summed €1.02B, a growth of 18 percent over the 2014 figures.
Profitability also increased for the house of Mattighofen, as the number of motorcycles sold worldwide went up 14%, rea... (continue reading >>)
Aren’t you lucky to live in the era of Internet and radio-controlled cars? Fifty years ago, all you got if you went to the office to check on the used car you were thinking of buying was a lollipop and some sore feet if you wore those new shoes.
The idea behind the My Car Check website is simple: all cars must have a transparent history, and it’s hard for individuals to know where to look for it. That’s why i... (continue reading >>)
Honda models are very well known for their carefully thought-out interiors offering plenty of room and clever solutions for maximizing load space and functionality.
But what the Honda Civic Tourer - the car the Active Life Concept is based upon - proved so well is that having a practical interior doesn’t necessarily come with a compromise regarding exterior design. In fact, as far as station wagons go, the Civic Tourer is quite... (continue reading >>)
A common fallacy states that Atlas was a Titan that was forced to carry the weight of the Earth on his shoulders. This is a misconception that snowballed from olden times until today and was probably born from how the so-called Farnese Atlas, a second-century Roman sculpture, looked like to most people.
Technically a marble copy of a Hellenistic statue, the Farnese Atlas depicts the mythological figure kneeling with a globe on his back. ... (continue reading >>)
