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.

Driving an 800+ horsepower performance car down a dragstrip is a pretty amazing thing. I speak from personal experience. The launch is best described as being fired out of cannon, as you race towards the 1/4 mile mark in about 10 seconds with a top speed around 140 mph.

Do you like Land Rovers? How about mud? Then tune in and enjoy this fun video featuring a Land Rover Defender 90 ripping through fields and spewing mud everywhere. The clip “Farmkhana: Wild in the Fields” was put together by Club86, who headed to a privately-owned farm in their tricked out turbodiesel 1986 Defender, and proceeded to mash the gas pedal as hard as they could.

With Teslas, Bolts, I-PACEs, and E-TRONs, the era of pure electric cars is upon us, and their presence will only will expand over the coming years, as companies look to reduce greenhouse gasses and the use of traditional combustion engines.

I’m often jealous of the guys over at Motor Trend. I’d love to be able to drive the sweet cars they get their hands on all day long. At least that’s what they do in my imaging of the job.

When it comes to allowing you to run what you bring on a racetrack the Nürburgring is the place to go. Turn up in a rented cargo van at most tracks in the US and they won’t let you into the paddock, let alone onto the track.

A video has turned up that shows a 2018 Ford GT lapping the Nürburgring during industry test time. The driver is clad in a full racing suit and isn’t taking it easy on the car either.
