4 Most people think modern MINIs are too small for the road, and the truth is they are. Modern society loves the full-size and crossover SUVs. A MINI easily disappears in blindspots. But, when a modern one is sized up to its classic grandfather, it looks nothing but chunky. Needless to say, if driving a […]

Porsche 911R at 200 mph
8 Journalists are getting their first look at the new limited-edition Porsche 911R, a 991 GT3 with no aero and a 7-speed manual gearbox made to appease Porsche ‘purists.’ But for a car set up specifically to be an engaging drive on winding mountain roads, it’s sometimes easy to neglect the fact that the 911R […]
The Designer Supercar
3 Even for such a niche market, the automotive choices available for the super rich are abundant. The obvious choices range from Ferrari and Lamborghini to Aston Martin and Rolls Royce. There are cars geared toward ultra-luxury and ultra-performance. But just like money doesn’t buy talent, it doesn’t buy taste either. That’s why you see […]
An Aston In Driver’s Condition
8 When it comes to old cars, there are usually only two states of condition: rust bucket and concourse ready. The rust buckets are old barn finds that have been decayed by nested rats and acid rain and can’t move under their own power. The concourse cars are restored above and beyond factory spec, and […]
Mark Your Calandar for the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans
4 Both the 2016 Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix concluded on Sunday, giving us some of motorsport’s best racing. But arguably even better racing is yet to take place. The 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans is set to take place from Saturday June 18 to Sunday June 19. A full 24 hours […]
Hoonigan Fights for a Final in one of the Best Races Ever
9 Rallycross is some of the best racing out there. Nothing proves that more than the 2016 round two semifinal, which may be one of the best races ever seen (Starting at 1:22:40). Ken Block and his Focus RS are trying to push from the back to see if they can make it to their […]
ACR Viper Record Lap of Laguna Seca
7 That is like selling Iron man suits to the general public. This is a seemingly simple video, but the content is pretty amazing to watch. The ACR Viper is a street legal car that touches 2.0 lateral G’s on this lap. That is like selling Iron man suits to the general public. Just massive […]
Enjoy Yet Another Nürburgring Crash Compilation
5 Second only to Russian dashcam compilations, Nürburgring Nordschleife crash compilation videos have the highest raw entertainment value of any videos on YouTube. And just like Russian dashcam videos, there is a never ending supply of crash compilations videos continuously being uploaded. You would think that after a while, watching car after car bite the […]
Porsche 918 Races a Lamborghini Huracan
3 This is one of the saddest videos I’ve ever seen. Don’t worry, no one wrecks or blows up. Really no one does anything at all. Just two well off guys sitting in chairs trying to stroke their ego. Sure, it is fun to see and hear these crazy machines perform but the matchup was […]
How to Launch a Car (or Do a Burnout)
0 At some point in every automotive enthusiast’s life, each and every one wants to see how fast he or she can reach 60 mph (or 100 kph, if you live over in Europeland). In order to do that, a car must optimally be launched from a standstill. It takes a lot of skill and […]
928 VS Z28 Motorweek Track Battle (1983)
8 There were a lot of wars being fought in 1983 cinema. The Empire vs the Rebel alliance, Tom Cruise vs pants, Scarface vs…people who didn’t say hello to his little friend. A lot was happening so it is understandable that some have forgotten about this unique battle. What made the comparison of the 928 […]
Three Hundred and Fifty Six Insights Into My Soul
2 Sit in wonder as we are invited into the seemingly solitary life of Matt, a vintage car/parts enthusiast. The crown jewel of his rustic collection is a Porsche 356 which is the Banjo to his Kazooie. Any adventure Matt decides to go on, the 356 is ready. Climbing mountains, off-roading, LA traffic the little […]
Alfa Romeo Giulia: An M3 Without Passion
4 The Alfa Romeo Giulia is about to land on American shores, and with it America will get its first impression of the historic Italian brand in a generation. It’s important, then, for Italy. Every other car from the boot nation currently in the world’s largest automotive market is either a cheap plastic toaster or […]
The Porsche 718 Reborn
5 The newest video from our friends at Petrolicious features racecar legend Derek Bell driving a Porsche 718 RS60 that won the Targa Florio in 1959. It’s 11 minutes of raspy exhaust noise, winding roads and Porsche poetry. Bell goes on about how honored he was to be a part of Porsche’s history and to […]
1991 Jeremy Clarkson Tests a Herd of Raging Bulls
3 In 1990 the Countach passed the torch of supercar lunacy to the Diablo. Top Gear thought the best way to cover this occasion was to revisit all the mid-ship V12 Lamborghini’s of the past. Their goal was to show the progression of design and technology. What they actually did was show how much prettier […]
Geometry > Rally Drivers
9 This is what happens when you don’t get your rally stage designer a Christmas present. You might be thinking “well that seems a little obtuse”. All these rugged, purpose built rally cars crashing into a hill is actually acute thing to watch :)))) …. anybody? This particular corner flummoxes all these drivers because it […]
How to be a Good Parent
9 There is a myth that once you get married and have kids, the good ol’ days of playing with cars are over (Cory gets trigger-happy on eBay at the thought). But that doesn’t have to be true. What else are the back seats of a Porsche 911 for if not for tiny babies? The […]
Cheap V12-Engined Cars Are Better
7 Look out your window. Look at your car. Chances are the car you are looking at has a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Now that’s all fine and dandy, except that it isn’t. You see, there is actually a lot wrong with an inline-4. There are no overlapping power strokes, and it suffers from that tricky […]
Karma Crash
9 City traffic sucks. Dealing with thousands of people on the same road is stressful enough but then sprinkle in idiots like the Lexus IS300 in this video and things just get much worse. It is very important to never be this guy, especially if you own an enthusiast car. Every stupid decision you make […]
Middle Age Mutant Ninja Mouse
1 Bigger is better, gluttony is glorious, no replacement for displacement, Dwayne The Rock Johnson is a good actor. All these misconceptions have been shoved through my ear canals to the point where I actually started thinking San Andreas was a good movie. Luckily the internet and some Europeans exist to help offset the large […]
VW Kombi Rally Compilation
7 Seeing something completely out of its element is always fascinating to me. Cats falling into water, people with no rhythm on a dance floor, Jeff in any social situation. While all those examples get chalked up as fails, here is an amazing video compiling Volkswagen Kombi wins. Having spent considerable time behind the wheel […]
Clarkson Wrestles With A RS200 And Loses
9 The Ford RS200 is one of those amazing cars that was bred to dominate, but was never really given the chance. Ford’s European division developed the car over 2 years and entered Group B in 1986 after building 200 road going versions of this unassuming, dirt munching lunatic. As with most inaugural years for […]
Lancia Commercial II “The Life Bringer”
3 The thrilling conclusion to this series puts our hero in a desperate position to undo the reckless damage done by humanity. Here is the catch, he only can use a recycling bin, a polluting combustion engine and a A/C unit. WHAT WILL HARRISON FORD DOOOO?!?!?!?! […]
Harrison Ford Brings You “Lancia: Too Ugly To Notice”
2 You’ll be on the edge of your seat as Harrison Ford captivates your senses in this 60 second thriller with more story and better pacing than “The Crystal Skull”. Watch as our hero runs into a daring situation while out on a drive in a car so ugly and boring no one pays any […]
Young Hammond Compares An Audi Quattro To A Mk VI Evo
0 Sit back and enjoy five and a half minutes of a young Richard Hammond spitting out tiny quips of information in a dizzying display of 90’s-ness. For real, it is literately disorientating. The Cameraman filmed this from the perspective of drugged-up, ADD schnauzer. “Look! A grill! Ooo, a mirror… HAMSTERRRRR!” […]
I Think RWB is Just Great
4 Last week Chris shared his opinion on Japanese Porsche tuner, RWB, or RAUH WELT Begriff. In it he talked about how RWB has gone too far with the cartoonization of an icon. He loves the philosophy, but doesn’t like the degree to which it was executed. Let me explain to you why Chris’s opinion […]
Alfa Romeos are Machines of Finesse
2 Alfa Romeo was a bit of an oddball make in 1960s America. In the era of muscle cars with four times the displacement of today’s economy cars, Alfas had tiny 1.3-liter, 4-cylinder engines. Their secret wasn’t about sheer power, but sheer finesse. This week’s Petrolicious video takes us through a family of Alfa lovers […]
15 Passes In One Lap!
4 One of the many pieces of advice amateur racers, like myself, hear a lot is “Don’t hit him just because you are mad”. Which is super helpful but the phrase that applies to this video is “Race the track not the other cars”. Watching Stevan McAleer dance his way past 15 cars in one […]
Here is the first look at ‘New’ Top Gear
6 The BBC released a preview for the first season of “New” Top Gear, full of what seems to be a healthy dose of old-school Top Gear shenanigans. In the video, we see that Joey Tribbiani Matt LeBlanc is repping the good ol’ U.S. of A., Sabine Schmitz having as much fun as a German […]
Really Didn’t See That Coming.
4 The stage is set! 350Z McToolbag puts his peddle down, flexing with all his might against his arch nemesis…Captain Pompous Pants . Just when all hope seems lost a unexpected friend comes to the rescue! […]
