While most of us don’t think about track-day cars when we hear the words “Ford EcoBoost,” you might just change your mind after reading about this sweet ride from British automaker Radical. The Radial RXC Turbo is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ford EcoBoost V6 engine, capable of pushing out an impressive 454 horsepower and 500 lb-ft.

The 2015 Lexus RC F Coupe is a beautiful car with what looks to be an awesome engine under the hood. The people over at Kaizen Factor had the chance to sit in one at NAIAS 2014 and check out the car’s all-new digital gauges in action.

Clashproduction created this great video from the 2013 Superdrift Italy event. From practice through qualifying to the final round, watch as this crop of mostly BMWs gets sideways and destroys a lot of rubber. With cameras mounted on the front and back of the cars, this video gets up close and personal with the intense, on-the-edge world of drift racing.

What happens when Godzilla starts taking steroids? The Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, that’s what. Just imagine taking what is one of the fastest accelerating vehicles on the road today and stripping about 1,000 pounds from its weight, improving its aerodynamics and downforce, and turning it into a rear-wheel drive (per FIA GT3 regulations).

This year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit gave us some terrific new cars, some that surprised us completely and some that we knew were going to be revealed at the show. We sat down and looked at all the vehicles that were unveiled at the show and chose our top five favorite cars that debuted at the show.

While today we can enjoy Chevy’s impressive C7 generation Corvettes, let’s take a ride back to 30 years in the past to see how Chevy was pimping their then brand new C4 ‘Vette. This amusingly-dated commercial serves as both a time capsule and reminder of just how much automotive design and technology have evolved in the past three decades.

We’ve seen the Jaguar CX-17 SUV concept before, but we have to say it looks better than ever in the candy-like red color as it heads to the Brussels Motor Show this week. Other than its beautiful red body, the only other change is the two bucket seats in the rear instead of the cramped three seat configuration seen in the previous design.

Chevrolet recently unveiled its stunning 2015 Corvette Z06, and they have also announced the Corvette C7.R race car, which shares a lot of technology with the street version. The two ‘Vettes share engineering and components, including chassis architecture, engine technologies and aerodynamic strategies.

MINI showcased its new John Cooper Works Concept at the 2014 North American International Auto Show and, from what we saw, it’s a car very worthy of the JCW badge. The JCW comes with a Bright Highways Grey finish that resembles brushed aluminum, bold Chili Red accents and striping, and 18-inch John Cooper Works light alloy wheels that are striking in person.

We recently stumbled onto this video clip from a couple of years back, in which stunt driver Mauro Calo managed to put a Mercedes-Benz  C63 AMG sedan into an insanely long powerslide. The slide itself lasted for a bit over two minutes, as he kept his tires burning rubber for a distance of 1.44 miles around a circular track.

We were recently provided the opportunity to speak with Ford about their partnerships and programs related to future energy technologies and the infrastructure required to support those technologies in our cities and towns and along our roadways. 

The new S-Class is already a beautiful, elegant and powerful car, but for those of us who prefer something a bit less hefty, this two-door S-Class Coupe concept looks even better. We had a chance to check out the S-Class Coupe Concept up close and personal at the 2014 NAIAS in Detroit, and it’s quite a stunner.

Infiniti showed off the breathtakingly beautiful Q50 Eau Rouge Concept at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The vehicle is Infiniti’s concept of a high-performance version of its Q50 sports sedan showcasing Infiniti’s vision for future designs, including more dramatic aerodynamics influenced by Infiniti’s Formula 1 vehicles and complex carbon fiber composite bodywork.

Lexus officially unveiled the 2015 Lexus RC F Coupe at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show and the top-of-the-line performance coupe looks impressive. With a design inspired by the Lexus LFA supercar, a stacked quad exhaust, wide fender flares, and an aggressive front end with a giant spindle grille, it’s clearly not meant to be subtle.

We recently had the opportunity to visit with the design team behind the 2015 Ford Mustang, and learned about the process behind the design of the car, as well as some of the amazing craftsmanship in the design, modeling, and prototyping process.
