Once again Ken Block is back for one of his hooning videos, this time on asphalt after last month’s Terrakhana. With partnership from Toyo Tires, Block hits the famous Pikes Peak Hillclimb course in what he’s calling Climbkhana.

It’s a little too early to say that the World Endurance Championship (WEC) is a series in crisis. The signs aren’t good though; only one manufacturer remains in the top LMP1 category as brands ditch the expensive hybrid category for the electric hum of Formula E.

Ask the man in the street who the king of hot hatches is and chances are you’ll get a whole different bunch of answers. One name that will come up time and again though is Renault.

Fans of British GT cars rejoice, Aston Martin is now a Formula One team.

Every year Motor Trend sets out to find its Best Driver’s Car. In addition to its smattering of typical tests, it also takes all the cars and put them head-to-head in the quarter-mile. For the past seven years, Motor Trend makes a little video to go along with it. This year, the World’s Greatest Drag Race takes its competition to a new venue.

It’s been on sale since 2013, and we don’t recall ever seeing one that isn’t a press car. There’s not even that many in the classifieds — we found 40 in the entire country.

Prestigious BMW tuner Alpina has unveiled its latest creation — the D5 S. The 5 Series-based performance car will be storming the highways with two powerful diesel engines, depending on the market.

The excitement began before the lights even went out. The heavens opened and the rain came down right before the race began. We’ve been wondering about it for 10 years and it finally happened — the first ever wet Singapore Grand Prix.

It’s the car brand everyone thought was dead, but TVR has proven hard to kill.

Qualifying for tomorrow’s Singapore Grand Prix promised to shake things up a bit and it didn’t disappoint.
