BMW is attempting to set a new world record for the longest drift ever. For the record-setting attempt, BMW will put driver Johan Schwartz behind the wheel of an M5 and set him loose on the Nürburgring for a drift they hope will last an incredible 8 hours.

Getting the Christmas tree home can be a bit of a chore. A 6-foot-tall fir tree doesn’t really fit into most cars, so many have to bum a truck or rent one to get your tree home.

I have no problem with trucks or guys hopping up their turbo diesel trucks for performance. I do hate it when they rig the truck to belch black smoke, annoying all the other drivers on the road, and unnecessarily polluting the environment.

The Corvette ZR1 is one serious supercar. We’ve already heard about the specs for the Vette, and 755 hp underfoot sounds pretty darn good. Originally, we heard that the ZR1 would pack in 600 lb-ft of torque, but Road & Track is reporting that the beast will make about 715 lb-ft of torque and a 212 mph top speed.

Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations took its awesome XE SV Project 8 four-door car to the Green Hell of the Nürburgring and unleashed the orange beast on the track with pro driver Vincent Radermecker behind the wheel.

There are a handful of sports cars which have been staples of the American gearheads’ diet for decades. The big ones being the Ford Mustang, the Dodge Challenger, the Chevrolet Corvette, and the Chevrolet Camaro. Each of these cars has followed a unique path of evolution throughout its history, sometimes paying tribute to their heritage, while other times trying to reinvent its looks and capabilities for a new generation.

Russia isn’t exactly known for their cars. Most of the ones I’m aware of are either highly utilitarian, boxy trucks and vans, crazy military style off-roaders, or junky sub-compacts held together with bubble gum and spit.

The Nissan GT-R is perhaps the most precise and predictable sports car on the market. It’s incredibly responsive, and sharp as a tack going around a road course. I speak from experience. It’s like a precision scalpel that makes anyone behind the driver’s seat look like a pro.

When I drove the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, I thought it probably would be the most powerful production car I would ever drive. After all, it’s pretty rare that you get behind the wheel of a car with more than 700 horsepower.

While I think it’s critical to take any vehicle you’re considering for an actual test drive, it’s kind of fun to see the sorts of things that automakers are starting to do with virtual reality to give people a small taste of what their vehicles are like.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is one of the best handling cars I’ve driven in the last year. I’ve yet to drive the Giulia’s crossover cousin, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, but word on the street is that it’s no slouch as SUVs go.

When you talk about the Porsche 911, it means so many different things to so many people. From its fun, yet humble origins in the 1960s, to today’s badass supercars like the 911 Turbo S and the bonkers 700 hp 911 GT2 RS, which just happens to have stolen the record for the fastest lap ever around the Nürburgring Nordschliefe in a production, street-legal car, turning in a time of just 6:47.25. Driver Lars Kern – who previously clocked a a 7:12.7

Ken Block recently tore through the Utah desert in his Ford Fiesta ST RX43. Now he’s back with another epic action clip, as he drifts his way to the 14,100 ft summit of Pikes Peak, Colorado in his Hoonicorn RTR V2.

Our friends over at Petrolicious get to spend time with some truly exotic and spectacular cars, from beauties like the Jaguar E-Type lightweight to the Ferrari F40. But sometimes a car is less about showing off its looks, and more about what its can do on the road.

The latest generation Acura NSX is a truly impressive vehicle, with incredible acceleration, and some of the most impressive braking and cornering I’ve ever experienced on a track. Like all modern vehicles, aerodynamics are a big part of what makes the car efficient as it zips along.
