Today I’ve got a good one for you. This is from 1964 and it’s titled Styling and the Experimental Car. Concept cars are shown, but so is the inspiration from which the…

Here you’ll find rally cars, drift cars, supercars, F1 race cars, road race cars including the oversized BMW M8 GTE, and even a Ford Ranger. Which…

Volkswagen shares more angles on the ID R and its Pikes Peak winning run
/
/
comments
The angle inside the cabin is less than ideal but it shows how much work Romain Dumas puts towards his record-smashing run. Volkswagen built the ID R electric race car with the sole intention of devouring Pikes Peak top times. The first goal was the electric-car overall record but the ultimate goal was complete and…

Truck Central: The Lexus GX 460
/
/
comments
Apparently I have Toyota and Lexus on the mind today… but here’s a good example of the more dated side of the Lexus lineup. This is the GX 460, and under its skin you’ll find an incredibly competent off-road machine. That’s because if you strip away the Lexus nose, badging, and interior niceties, you’ll find…

comments
RJ Anderson has taken his heavily modified Polaris RZR just about everywhere. The XP1K series has been an unreal adventure showing just how far you can push a side-by-side. Well… not you. RJ though, he can do some wild stuff behind the wheel of a UTV. In his latest video, Anderson ditches the dirt and rutted…

No, the above sweet-ass F100 wasn’t on the show… but my mug appeared a number of times. Truck Wars is a special on the History channel that examines the history of the pickup here in the States. The focus is heavy on the battle between Ford and Chevy, and then Ram comes along towards the…

Truck Central: Why does the 2018 GMC Canyon Denali exist? Let's find out
/
/
comments
This is a slightly fancier version of a truck that already exists. It’s the GMC version of Chevy’s Colorado, and it’s called the GMC Canyon Denali. Does it make any sense? I try to figure it all out in a new video for Truck Central. The short answer is: not really. You can spec a…

Hooniverse Asks: Given an unlimited budget, what's the least expensive car you'd buy?

comments
It’s easy to speculate about the sort of vehicles you’d acquire given a budget that knows no bounds. But forget about the fancy or powerful stuff for a moment (Yes, even you Doc), and tell us about the cheap machines you lust over. Given a Gatesian level of cash in your bank account, what is…

Joy. #dajiban @axlejor A post shared by Sam Smith (@thatsamsmith) on Jun 15, 2018 at 9:00pm PDT There are a number of automotive writers whose content I enjoy reading, but there are very few whose stuff I love. Generally, it’s the stories crafted by Zach Bowman, Brendan McAleer, and Sam Smith that remind me when…
