  • Why We Forgot About The Isuzu Impulse RS

    In the early 1990s the unwieldy conglomeration of  car companies owned by GM built something very special. Picture a small 2,700 lb all wheel drive turbocharged coupe with a suspension tuned by Lotus, and a price tag of only $15,000. The engine was built and designed by a crack team of Japanese engineers, while the […] More

  • When Testing The New NSX, Acura Destroyed A Benchmark Exotic

    This one hurts. Last month there were reports that while developing the new NSX, Honda (Acura here in the states) bought a 911 GT3 RS as a car to be a baseline while testing the brand new NSX. When Porsche found out about it, they wrote “good luck Honda, see you on the other side” […] More

  • Three Reasons Why The F430 Challenge Race Car Is Terrible For The Street

    As Doug DeMuro perfectly stated in his column for AutoTrader, the F430 Challenge “isn’t some regular F430 that’s been modified and lowered, such as a ’94 Integra. This is a Ferrari-built race car, designed for racing on racetracks and next to other race cars.” So when he took said F430 Challenge on the streets of […] More

  • BMW’s Newest Ad Is A Clever Way To Tell Tesla To Go F*** Itself

    Ah the battle for electrons. It’s very amusing. If you don’t know who Tesla is, you’re probably not into cars, or space travel, or rockets. That’s a pretty broad spectrum, but the chances are you’ve heard of them. If not, maybe you’ve heard of Tesla’s Billionaire founder Elon Musk who started PayPay. Either way, there’s […] More

  • The Grand Tour Cuts A Giant Portrait In Half

    Remember that one time when Jeremy Clarkson tweeted: “To the people of Vicenza. Richard Hammond will show himself today in Piazza dei Signori in Vicenza around 3.30/4 pm,” and a MASSIVE crowd ended up showing? Well there’s another camera angle, in glorious 4K, that shows Jeremy Clarkson driving in the Aston Martin DB11, James May […] More

  • Top Gear Is Unraveling, Host “Not Sure” About Coming Back

    The rebooted Top Gear show produced less than stellar ratings despite the usually high production value that we have come to expect from the BBC. Series 23 saw the introduction of six, SIX! presenters, doubling the number of bodies from the previous version with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. We weren’t sure what the BBC […] More

  • Is Tesla’s First Car Anything Like The Model S?

  • You Can Buy This Hypercar Or SEVEN Brand New Ford GTs

    The new Ford GT is going to be expensive. At around $400,000 you’ll be getting one of the best looking and performing supercars of the modern era. But what if you had the money for something more? Well then you could buy a McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, or Ferrari La Ferrari. If that doesn’t […] More

  • New Shelby GT500 Caught On Video

    When we drove the GT350 around Pocono Raceway, we thought that it couldn’t get any better than the GT350R. The high revving Voodoo V8 engine pushing out 526 horsepower coupled with MASSIVE brakes and intelligent Magneride suspension, is just the recipe for high performance thrills and short lap times. But we always thought there was […] More

  • Chevrolet Cruze Takes Out TV Tower In Massive Rollover Crash

    The British Touring Car Championship is one of the more fun races to watch as you can see your favorite (read: affordable) cars wring it out on awesome tracks like Donington Park, Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, and Silverstone Circuit just to name a few. Just because these cars aren’t as powerful as their more exotic counterparts […] More

  • Chevy’s New ZL1 Will Be Faster Than A Corvette

    Chevy is doing some absolute magic these days. Saying “GM Crap” these days is pretty much just the height of ignorance. They are killing it in the mid-sized segment with the newly improved Malibu, they are expanding their horizons on engine choices with the Camaro 2.0 liter turbo, and now they are making Camaros that […] More

  • Remember The Volvo 850R? You should.

    In the world of European sport sedans, Volvos have always found a way to stand out from the crowd. Since the main motivation of Volvo is to build safe reliable transportation, their sportier offerings were never meant to beat cars like the M3. Instead fast Volvos offer an incrementally sportier driving experience while retaining the […] More

  • Jeremy Clarkson Saved Lives Of German And French Tourists

    If you’ve seen Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear then you know he’s one to quickly abandon his mates, avoid hard work, and leave the duty for someone else to take care of. This past weekend he managed to do the total opposite of his television persona and saved the lives of four people! As seen through […] More

  • The Way These Doors Open Means You Can Drive A Spaceship Real Soon

    If this car looks a bit familiar to you, your eyes haven’t fooled you, you’ve seen this conceptual shape MANY times before. The first car that had this aerodynamic, and very suggestive, shape was called the Nissan Deltawing. Nissan liked it so much that they also used it as a platform for the ZEOD RC, a hybrid electric racing […] More

  • What’s It Like To Drive On The Old Top Gear Test Track?

    The new Top Gear show is not like what it used to be. The hosts are a bit younger, the chemistry is missing, and the Top Gear test track, for better or worse, has been altered beyond recognition. A lot of good memories were made in Dunsfold Aerodrome, and a lot of records were set and […] More

  • $80,000 Car Goes From 0-Totaled In 4 Seconds

    We’ve seen many examples of cars leaving meets and applying too much throttle during a 90 degree turn, only to find themselves leaving precious metal and plastic parts on the road just seconds later. Because of these crashes we have to live with the stereotype that American cars are brilliant until they try to take corners. Well, this video below […] More

  • Chinese Elevated Bus Finally Gets Demoed. It Looks Ridiculous And Awesome!

    You’ve probably seen the miniature concept version of this elevated-bus-tunnel at some point.

The end result is an elevated bus that straddles two lanes of traffic, allowing […] More

  • Legendary Le Mans Winner Has Died

  • Silly Sportbike Thought It Had A Chance

    We’ve all seen the drag racing videos between the Tesla Model S versus whatever, and they almost always end with the pure electric vehicle toasting their internal combustion engine opponents. This video is no different, a 600cc bike goes head to head with an unknown Tesla Model S, and the biker gets burned no matter how […] More

  • POLL: Who’s Going To Win This Year’s F1 Title?

  • Centenario’s Pure Carbon Fiber Body Looks Really Good In The Sun

It […] More

  • Humvee Airdrops Is The Most Satisfying Thing You’ll See All Day

    There’s just something awesome and satisfying about a 5,200 pound HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) being parachuted out of an even more massive Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. The $218 million airplane is capable of transporting a payload of 170,000 pounds, more than enough to support the following (according to Wikipedia): 102 paratroopers or 134 troops […] More

  • Leaked Order Guide Confirms Camaro ZL1 Will Be One Nasty Ride

    We’ve driven the bargain bin Chevrolet Camaro with the 2.0 liter four cylinder turbo for about a week. While it’s hard to get all of us at Shifting Lanes to agree whether it was a decent car or not, we can unequivocally agree that the Camaros with V8 engines are no doubt four wheel beasts, ready […] More

  • Buy the Mercedes Homologation Special of your Dreams

    For cars to legally compete in certain racing series, rules dictate a company must sell road cars that match their racing entry. These homologation rules gave the world some of the greatest driver’s cars like the BMW M1 and CLK GTR to name a few. When Mercedes chose to enter their 190 sedan in the […] More

  • Verstappen’s Post Race Comment States What We Already Know About Rosberg

    The German Grand Prix at Hockenheimring is in the books and what a stunning weekend it has been.

From the start, Rosberg failed to capitalize on his Pole position […] More

  • Collision Sends Crew Members Flying Through The Air

    It’s not just the cars that are at constant risk of crashing during a race, the pit crews are also exposed to a lot of collision risks. Not only is the crew responsible with performing lightning quick component changes, refuels, and intense troubleshooting, they have to do it in front of cars barreling to a stop. Sometimes […] More

  • 2016 Mazda 3 Review

    It’s tough to like the Mazda 3 when you just climbed out of a Nissan GTR, or a Corvette Stingray, or even a Camaro. No, this will not pin you back into its seat, and no, it will not destroy anything on the track. The Mazda 3 was not designed for such things and judging it against […] More

  • Drift Mode Was A Pleasant Accident

    In the understeer-oversteer spectrum an All-Wheel-Drive system usually lies in the middle. That is until the blue oval guys put in a “Drift Mode” button in the Focus RS, enabling the new AWD 350 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque to toast the rear tires almost exclusively. Now that’s all everyone can talk about when […] More

  • This Is What A Spin At 200+ MPH Looks Like

    I think “Holy Crap” would be an understatement on this one. I think I’d need several changes of pants. The guys over at Team Insanity Racing created a monster with the 2000+hp Nissan GTR Switzer Goliath X GT-R. They were shooting for a big top speed number when all of a sudden things went terribly […] More

  • FAST FRIDAY: Ferrari Vs. Lamborghini Drag Race

  • The Ultimate All Motor Miata

    If you’re a Mazda Miata owner looking to add power to your roadster the choices seem very simple, you can either add forced induction, or drop in a larger engine. These tried and true methods may add excitement, but aren’t exactly special. When modding a car as popular as the Miata it’s hard to do […] More

  • Bernie Ecclestone Thinks Head Protection Won’t Make F1 Any Safer

    Remember when Bernie Ecclestone was a champion of driver safety? Us neither. Though the Ferrari cockpit halo or Red Bull Racing developed deflector screen are undoubtedly strange and weird to see on an F1 car, they would undoubtedly make the sport safer. Apparently good ‘ol Bern thinks that’s untrue. But what’s driving that opinion? Could […] More

  • Jeremy Clarkson Is A Terrible Rally Co-Driver

    The Grand Tour is right around the corner and the boys just released another video of them on the road. It’s another candid segment shot around the same time when they broke a rental car.

  • VIDEO: Avtoros Shaman 8X8 Still Looks Gigantic In Lego Form

    If you thought the Unimog was huge then you haven’t seen the Avtoros Shaman 8×8. It’s a Russian monstrous all terrain vehicle that’s fitted with a surprisingly small 3.0 liter four cylinder turbo diesel and a six speed manual transmission. How many horsepower does it have? It doesn’t matter because the vehicle weighs over 10,000 pounds. While it’s […] More
