Pulling off drifts, powerslides and handbrake turns is challenging enough when doing it solo, so one can only imagine how difficult it must be to try and pull off such maneuvers in coordination with other drivers.

It can take a tremendous amount of time and money to restore a classic car. In most cases, car owners have to dig through junkyards and auctions to find the parts they need. But in the case of Porsche, their accessories group has been known to actually recreate parts for classic cars – in this case, using lighter weight materials.

It might sound crazy, but there was a time when rally racing wasn’t controlled by all-wheel drive vehicles. In this video that dates back some 35 years, you’ll get to see classic Lancia 037s take on a pack of Audi AWD quattros in the WRC Monte Carlo Rally.

If you had $60,000 to spend on a car, you could certainly get a nice one, like a fully tricked-out Kia Stinger GT, or even the new Toyota Supra. But when you buy a Porsche, you can rack up that kind of expense on options alone.

Car fans know that there is more to a car than performance and style. It’s also got to make the right noises. To prove it’s got things well in hand, Toyota is teasing the new 2020 Supra with a blurry clip of the car running around under throttle and going brapity brap.

Anyone who has been watching Ken Block and his Gymkhana videos pretty much knows what to expect. You get Block in a vehicle typically made just for the video, doing donuts around stuff, jumping things, and generally drifting the hell out of whatever he is in.

Want to see something really, really special? Then check out this incredible creation from Motores Patelo, who loves to hand build miniature versions of engines. His most impressive creation to date has to be this W-32 engine, which works using four banks of eight cylinders, driven by a single crankshaft.

One of the more incredible custom car builds I’ve ever seen has to be this BMW from Letrons. It looks just like a regular BMW when parked, but then opens up to form a giant mech, just like a Transformer.

I’m not sure how the person who posted this video managed to make their way into what appears to be a closed test session, but I am glad they did. The video shows off what appears to be the rumored mid-engine Corvette C8.R race car in testing at the famed Sebring racetrack.

Tired of searching high and low for a place to drift their cars, a group of drift enthusiasts started hooning about on the stock car oval at the Lochgelly Motorsport Complex. But as interest mounted, and more and more cars and spectators came out, the stock car circuit started to take a beating.

In this classic 1940s clip from General Motors, they enlisted the help of master of contraptions Rube Goldberg to help explain how gasoline powers car engines. In the short film, titled Something for Nothing, Goldberg first shows us how his overly complicated door opener functions, then some other silly inventions before he gets down to business.

It’s been nearly 45 years since the Honda Civic hatchback first burst onto the scene, kicking off a long line of Japanese hot hatches for decades to come. While today’s Civic Type-R is certainly the most technically impressive and powerful of the Civic hatch family tree, it’s not necessarily everyone’s favorite when it comes to its over the top aero kit.

Racing around in stock cars on a dirt track is a blast; so is flying a high speed drone. So why not combine the two into a single activity? That’s basically what one aerial photographer recently did, when he set off to chase dirt track racers around the track using a fast-flying racing drone.

There are few more annoying things when you’re driving a sports car with low ground clearance than encountering a speed bump. I speak from personal experience, having scraped the lowest plastic diffuser on my Jaguar F-Type more than a few times over the nasty bumps in my Chicago neighborhood.

Ferrari and other sports car fanatics will go absolutely bonkers for this amazing video captured at the Ferrari Corse Clienti. Automotive photographer cvdzijden puts us smack dab in the middle of incredible Formula 1 and other race-prepped Ferraris as they take to the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
