The upcoming Need for Speed movie is all about fast cars and dangerous seat-of-the-pants street racing. In one of the biggest stunts for the film, a Koenigsegg goes sideways between two other Koenigsegg supercars and the script calls for it to ride up one car, take off into the air, and come down hard.

German automaker Opel took an amusing approach to its latest advertising campaign for the Opel ADAM. To show off the new range of 16 body colors and six roof colors available for the vehicle, Opel created miniature versions of the already quite small vehicles and photographed them in a variety of situations.

As many car manufacturers are shifting to all LED lighting for their top-end vehicles, BMW is taking the next step and offering laser lighting as an option in the BMW i8 for its high-beam lighting. The optional high-beam headlights with laser light technology includes a typical BMW i U-shaped frame, from which the running lights and the built-in indicators are operated. 

On the surface, video games franchises like Forza Motorsport and Grand Turismo have reached a point of realism that’s so spot-on that they’re the next best thing to actually racing on a track. But is that an accurate statement?

Our friends at MotorAuthority recently spotted the new MINI E electric coupe out for testing in Germany. The vehicle will officially be revealed next year, but it seems MINI has taken it out on the streets for some real-world cruising.

The Jaguar E-Type is certainly one of the most beloved vehicles of all time. Companies like Eagle have created modern day replicas of the car, but they’re basically modern cars that look like classics. In the case of Jason Len, he started out over 30 years ago with a classic 1964 E-Type, and took his time turning it into a true race car.

While the Tesla Model S is already well known for its electric powertrain, massive torque, striking body styling and luxurious high-tech interior, it’s not exactly the first car that comes to mind when thinking about Winter driving.

An upgraded take on VW’s popular Golf, this European drop-top coupe edition has been outfitted with two-tone leather-trimmed sport seats, brushed aluminum trim, a stitched leather steering wheel cover, and Karmann-branded sill plates. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, and has chrome accents throughout.

Designer Ken Okuyama used to work at Pinanfarina, where he was in charge of the design for cars like the Ferrari Enzo and 599, started his own design firm in 2006. Okuyama’s latest creation is the lightweight, mid-engine Kode9 sports car.

Ken Block famously tears up the track with his 650hp Ford Fiesta ST RX43; drifting and squealing around, over, into and through a variety of obstacles in his amazing Gymkhana video series. Ford shares holiday cheer with this tribute to Ken Block, imagining what happens under his Christmas tree on Christmas morn.

Lamborghini just unveiled the new supercar replacement for the Gallardo, the Huracán LP 610-4, but we haven’t seen the car driven yet. Fortunately, Lambo’s viral marketing campaign just wrapped up with Episode Four of the Hexagon Project, where three friends from London attempt to get a glimpse at the new vehicle prior to its unveiling.

While Dick Lang’s Cobra-taunting Z06 is headed to auction in January, it turns out you’ll be able to grab one of those rare early 60’s Shelby Cobras from the same racing era at the very same auction.

Autosport managed to score a very special face-to-face with Nissan’s hybrid electric ZEOD RC Le Mans race car on the track.  UK Formula 3 racer Jann Mardenborough was the lucky driver who got to sit behind the controls.

Scalextric has been building 1:32 scale slot-car racing sets since 1957, but we doubt they’ve ever created any set quite like this. Renault created a full-size, 1.9 mile long, electric slot-car set on the streets of London, with two of its electric ZOE cars zipping around in the slots.

Kia Motors has revealed it will be unveiling a new concept car at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The concept vehicle will be a 2+2 sports car and was designed at the automaker’s design studio in Irvine, California.
