We already really like the 2014 Jeep Cherokee – especially in the off-road ready Trailhawk edition. But if you’re looking for something a little more urban, the newly-revealed Altitude package could be just the thing. The package adds a variety of gloss black accents to the Cherokee, including shiny black bits around the grille, lower front fascia, roof rails, badges and 18-inch black wheels.

It’s Super Bowl week, so all of the car companies’ big budget commercials are starting to surface online. One of our early favorites is this wacky tribute to The Matrix, which Kia put together to promote its swanky new 2015 K900 luxury car.

Custom car builder Mike Vetter, owner of The Car Factory, creates some amazing custom vehicles. One of his latest creations is a version of his ETV (Extra Terrestrial Vehicle) line of cars. This car, which apparently comes to us from the future, has a 270hp engine under its space-hood, with Lamborghini doors, and a custom-made body.

Having ditched the M3’s powerful and great-sounding V8 for a more powerful turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder that produces a total of 420 horsepower, BMW took the new 2014 M3 and its two-door sister, the 2014 M4, onto the track in this video.

The current land-speed record for a vehicle was set all the way back in 1997 by pilot Andy Green and his ThrustSSC turbofan-powered car. It was the first supersonic ride on wheels, with his top speed hitting over 763mph over the course of one mile.

/DRIVE had the opportunity to take a tour of the Audi quattro GmbH factory where all Audi R8s come together. Beginning with the all-aluminum body – which is made up of extruded, cast, and sheet metal aluminum – the R8 begins to take shape.

The Nissan Juke-R is already an impressive upgrade to the little crossover SUV, but what happens when you drop a 750 horsepower engine in it (and replace the majority of the drivetrain) and send it to compete at the Unlim 500+ Europe Destination Greece drag races?

There used to be a race on Holland in which cars drove the Zandvoort Circuit backwards. If that’s not strange enough, here’s some race footage that’s been played backwards, which makes the race look almost normal.

While most of today’s cars are built using a combination of robots and human labor, the robots are clearly winning. Even back in the 1960s, machines provided automotive builders with a helping hand, though workers certainly played a bigger role than they do today.

For its Super Bowl 2014 commercial, Audi created a fictitious breed of weird looking dogs  to poke fun at vehicles which trade off performance and style for practicality or economy. We’re not sure they succeeded at convincing us to buy an A3 with the spot, but we think a yardful of doberhuahuas could be a whole lot of fun.

The Lazareth Wazuma V8F Matt Edition is an extreme quad bike with a Ferrari 3.0 V8 engine and a BMW M3 gearbox. We don’t have speed specs for it, but that’s a 250hp engine pushing just over 1,430 pounds down the road, so it’s got to be hyperfast.

Only about 170 Cisitalia 202 cars were built, but the car is notable because it is typically regarded as first production Gran Tourer. Designed by Pinin Farina, the car was extremely successful running long-distance endurance races like the Mille Miglia.

Mate Rimac is a 25-year-old Croatian engineer who may have created the world’s fastest electric car: the Rimac Concept_One. First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011, Rimac has continued improving the vehicle since its debut and the specs are impressive, to say the least.

We recently featured a virtual tour of the secret Top Gear test track done via a 360-degree camera and The Stig in a Mercedes SLS AMG Black. Well, it turns out Google turned up at the track with a “Street View” car and mapped the track while Stig stayed in his AMG.

Audi sent an SQ5 quattro to the Alps along with filmmaker David Tindale and freeskier Roy Kittler to see what sort of action video they could create on the slopes. With the help of a drone camera from aufmschlau.ch
