Toyota has published a short film about its running in the 2013 24 Hours Of Le Mans. Aptly titled The Ultimate Endurance Race, it takes a look behind the scenes and on the track at one of the world’s most famous and highly regarded races.
In one sense, the new Jaguar F-Type is a simple car to discuss. It is dynamically very good, though it has a particular character, like any well-done car. It looks beautiful, which you can probably glean from photos, and this fortunately turns out to be a judgment that holds up upon seeing the car in the aluminum and leather. It is comfortable and usable in daily driving, although it has rather strict cargo limitations. And it is expensive, although there is a reasoned argument that the F-Type is priced below its likely competitors.
Forza Horizon is unlike any racing game that’s come before it. Don’t believe us? Let’s put it like this: how many racing games feature, for your first real race, a point-to-point sprint between a 1971 Boss 429 Mustang and a vintage P-51 Mustang fighter plane? And do so with impeccable graphics? And a banging soundtrack? And semi-realistic physics? Right, that’s what we thought.
There’s no shortage of love for Jaguar’s stunning XK (and its various iterations) among the Winding Road office staff. Heart-stopping style and sumptuous luxury combine with a variety of 5.0-liter V-8 engines to create an excellent GT car. Still, even the 550-horsepower XKR-S is more GT than true sports car. If you are one of those lamenting this fact, then Jaguar has answered your prayers.
Every week we sift through a truly amazing amount of “stuff” in the dozen or so hours we spend online—you know, the time spent not driving sweet cars. A lot of the cool stuff we find has to do specifically with new cars, naturally, but there’s also a huge amount of awesomeness that doesn’t completely fit in the normal Winding Road world. Once, we were in the habit of simply reading, watching, or talking amongst ourselves about this web detritus, but recently we thought it might be a good idea to start sharing it with you all. Thus, The Hot List.
BMW has just taken the wraps off of the sixth-generation 3-Series. The new car is longer in terms of wheelbase and total length, has a wider front and rear track, but is 88 pounds lighter than the car it replaces.
This is the Master Landing Page for the BMW 3-Series. From now on, as we further review this car, we will be updating this page with whatever fresh content we create. Future drive reviews, updated specifications, videos, and other relevant information will all be found right here, in one convenient spot.
With many three-quarter-ton trucks (e.g., the Dodge 2500 Laramie 4×4) one has the sense that the vehicles are so stiffly sprung and have so little steering feel (at least in a car enthusiast’s sense of the term) that the best one can do is to point, shoot, and do one’s level best to keep the rig approximately centered in its lane. And believe me, “approximately” really is the operative word. In fact, with typical full-size trucks one often winds up bounding and lurching from bump to bump, hoping to guess accurately which direction the truck will be pointed when it lands.
