The world of tuning has its obvious trends, such as the one that sees the 2016 Camaro getting more aftermarket attention that any new vehicle from the current era. Then there are the tendencies that are a little bit more difficult to trace, but do have the potential of turning into strong trends.
If, let's say, three or four decades ago, you had asked humanity about the way in which we would take our trash out in 2016, the answer would've probably been closer to science fiction than reality.
Mercedes-Benz has one of the most impressive compact-class ranges out of all the manufacturers, not to mention the premium segment. It's got the A-Class, the CLA-Class, the CLA-Class Shooting Brake, the B-Class and the GLA-Class. That's five cars, each with its own characteristics.
Skoda has decided to join the hip group of automakers that offer wireless charging in cars. There's no more searching for USB ports and worrying about cables that get in the way. The new system is part of the Skoda Phonebox that will be available as an option starting in April 2016.
Since BMW now builds its cars following a perfect matrix, you'd expect Bimmer aficionados to follow a similar path when tuning their rides. And you'd be right, with the latest example of that coming in the form of a BMW X3 M50d from Russia.
"Is it a GT-R?" This is the kind of question every R32 Nissan Skyline owner must be sick and tired of. Well, today we're here to show you an R32 that's not a GT-R because it has better things to do in racing life.
The BMW X4 made its debut late last year and has been completely overshadowed by the M4 GTS and the M2. We know this Sports Activity Coupe is way better than you think based on our time spent with it, and the M40i can only improve on a sweet handling 4x4. The first videos are always exciting, and we've compiled an amateur clip plus official footage for the Bavarians.
In terms of cars you can (try to) buy in a Prosche showroom today, the Cayman GT4 is the ultimate expression of the handling balance that has made Zuffenhausen machines stand out over the years. But what happens when the driver decides to screw all that and use the GT4 for drifting?
He may not have the big muscles of a pro basketballer or the killer lyrics of a rapper, but 23-year old Matthew Haag just bought a brand new Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. Does he sell drugs or is he one of those stock brokers? Neither, as this kid is a professional Call of Duty player. Judging from the fact that his first job was at McDonalds, you could say he's come a long way.
Those of you paying attention to the US-spec Porsche 911 GT3 RS units have probably noticed these Neunelfers don't come with the roll cage everybody sees online.
Ever wondered what Graziano Rossi (you know, Valentino Rossi's father) drives? This question obviously has multiple answers, one of which has to do with an Audi R8 V10 drift car.
We are now one week away from the moment we found out the Alfa Romeo Giulia will, once again, be delayed. However, with the company denying this, we're not really sure what to expect.
As the books and motion pictures that cover this topic prove, humanity has developed quite the fantasy for the idea of a world that's split in half, with each resulting entity left to develop on its own. And that's because the comparo of the end results has the potential to fascinate.
What is Audi on to lately? And we're not even talking about its well-known emissions scandal or anything, but the series of doubtful advertising clips it's been releasing recently.
We wouldn't be very surprised if one day, somewhere in this world, this clip will be used to showcase the negative influence video games have on our minds. Because let's be honest here, what you are about to see seems taken straight out of a Grand Theft Auto game. And the similarities don't end even when the driver gets out of the truck and goes on foot.
You may or may not like the smart Fortwo, and we'll admit to the fact that Daimler is making it pretty hard for us with a questionable design and a very high asking price, but the car is fun to drive.
Over the five decades it has spent refining the rear-engined configuration, the Porsche 911 has had its fair share of jokes about it being an over glorified Beetle.
Rev battles have always been popular (ask the senior car guy in your family), but, thanks to the powers of the world wide web, we can now enjoy such aural face-offs easier. The most recent episode of this kind has the potential to spark quite a debate, as it packs three of the strongest octane flavors America has to offer at the moment.
With the Porsche 911 Turbo S already delivering a melange of stellar performance and go-fast reliability, most owners prefer to stay out of the aftermarket arena in order not to mess with this rare balance.
We have to admit Toyota's Prius Getaway Car Super Bowl Ad was amusing enough for us to remember it. However, we can't help but think the automaker's Prius-drifting marketing efforts (there are more of them) are a bit like a ":)" emoticon placed at the end of a sentence whose impact you were not sure of.
Over the last few years, the stratosphere of the car industry has been getting better and better at coming up with four-wheeled examples of why one should never say never. Allow us to exemplify.
ZF is known for making the gearboxes for some of the most amazing cars out there. However, the company makes other crucial components, including the rear axle steering system for the Porsche 911. So it's been a long dream of theirs to offer driveline and chassis technology, making them shop for car building.
Given the versatility level the BMW M3 has reached, you can use this machine for tons of purposes. But is the Bimmer any good at playing rugby?
Street racing tourism has long become a trend in the US, with many drivers who have the possibility to take it to Mexico never missing a chance to dip into the potential of the country's softer law enforcement.
Back in the day, a supercar cruise used to involve owners pulling all sorts of stunts while keeping their cars on the road. Well, it seems that nowadays people who drive these machines simply can't way for the moment when brands such as Lamborghini will release their first SUVs.
The old LR4 is still available, but Land Rover has more important things to do, such as a mid-life update for the Range Rover. Our team of spy photographers have just sent us these photos of a mildly updated 2017 model undergoing winter testing in Northern Europe.
Japan is full of weird fetishes, so we didn't have a problem with the fact that a woman's foot is stroking the dash of this Scion. At first, we just thought the marketing people had a weird acid trip, but there's a catch to help you understand what's happening.
