For the better part of those 100+ years, most of the car makers tended to themselves, caught in a competition that drove the automotive industry forward at a pace never before experienced in human history. When the race was fierce, new ideas surfaced. When they didn't surface, car makers...
It took some years for the relationship between the two companies to evolve, both regarding motorsport endeavors and road car shenanigans. “Motorsport endeavors” are key words since most of AMG's experience in transforming sedated Mercedes-Benz models into four-wheeled smoke...
We cannot help but reflect on the old Betamax-VHS war, and the HD DVD/BluRay war that followed. Eventually, one technology won, but the tech world still has a major format battle in the form of the charging ports used by the leading smartphone and tablet manufacturers. We started this story...
I'm not here to talk about those though, but about a number of 1990s cars so progressive that they helped shape not only the era they were born in, but the current car market as well. That is a very hard thing to do, creating something that continues to inspire future generations....
A straightforward and bulletproof notion such as the pony car can go sour as easy as 1-2-3. Take this as a case in point: some don’t know how to cook scrambled eggs. Hell, don’t get me started with nutjobs that microwave Twinkies only to find out that they explode. On the other hand,...
For the 45th edition of the most important Japanese auto show of them all, concept vehicles are at the forefront. While some of those concepts are nothing more than a flight of fantasy, a handful will go into production in the coming years, including the somewhat polarizing Nissan Leaf NISMO...
Since October 1992 to March 2016, Mitsubishi has manufactured no less than ten iterations of the Lancer EVO. As you may have also heard, there will be no Lancer Evolution XI because, as fate would have it, the Japanese manufacturer is more interested in crossovers and PHEVs as of late. Hence, the...
First of all, and probably the most important if you ask me, this game is a true racing simulator. So, if you’re an expert driver in Need for Speed, in Project CARS 2 you have to unlearn everything you are familiar with regarding virtual driving and learn the proper way of doing it. There...
This is why in 2017 you are able to buy a passenger car with torque numbers that almost rival those of tractor units, which is pretty much insane if you think about it. Some still don't care about torque that much, and we're not here to change their opinion, but if the words of Carroll...
We had already experienced a 2017 Mazda MX-5 RF a few weeks ago, when a call from Mazda informed us of an invitation to drive its sports car once more, but this time on one of the best driving roads on the planet. For those that have been living under a rock that hadn't been supernaturally...
It's what pretty much happened a few days ago when I was invited to check out the “behind the scenes” areas of one and a half classic car restoration businesses. You will find out soon enough that the “one and a half” bit is not actually condemnatory or negative in any...

The truth is that, much like the wheel itself, a lot of modern automotive technologies and features have been re-invented several times before. Some were maybe too ahead of their times as far as supporting technology is concerned while others simply didn't catch on. Whatever the reasons...
The 2016 edition's thunder was pretty much stolen by the car that also won the "Best of Show," an inline eight-cylinder Packard, along with the contradiction between mass-produced behind the Iron Curtain and uber-rare art on wheels built in the West. This year it was almost...
The Cross Bronx Expressway, for example, is the most congested street in the land of the free and the home of the brave. 5th Avenue, the Lincoln Tunnel, and the George Washington Bridge are other places where traffic jams are notorious. But worst of all, it’s excruciatingly hard to go places...
