Honda might have put a picnic table under the CR-V’s rear cargo area in the late 1990s to add to its quirkiness, but the CR-V has gradually evolved into a sophisticated road warrior. That evolution is apparent at your local Honda dealer, but more so in the CR-V’s power-hungry alter ego––The Beast. Over the last […]
Ford is no stranger to outlandish electric race cars. In 2022, it unveiled an ultra-high-performance version of the Ford Transit EV at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, humbling supercars from Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren at the British hill climb. The year after that, the improved SuperVan 4.2 made its appearance on the slopes of Pikes […]
Although it’s widely considered the most popular form of motorsports in the world, Formula 1 frequently finds itself mired in controversy.

From its reputation and trailblazing status to its sporty looks and guttural exhaust note, the Mustang looks every bit the sports car, but Ford hasn’t always put performance at the forefront when it comes to the original pony car. In part, this can be attributed to the Mustang’s iconic status. With so much hype and […]
Step into your local Chevy dealer, take a quick look at the Chevy Corvette, and one thing immediately becomes clear. This is a car that wants to go fast.

While casual fans […]

From the Pikes Peak hill climb to the long-distance Paris-Dakar rally, the sport challenges drivers’ skills at navigation, endurance driving, and carrying speed over terrain. Over the years, as technologies improved and television brought the sport to […]
A great poet once said, “A sports car is a sedan that dreamed of being a racecar and never woke up.” I don’t know how accurate that is, but if there’s anything to it, I have no doubt that the 2024 Ford Mustang GT3 is precisely the sort of racecar that would inspire such dreams. […]
