Cars

What’s faster? A real life car or its digital counterpart around the same track?

Welcome to Wednesday Want. Each week, our team will pluck a car from our thousands-strong Car Suggestions forum and give it some time in the spotlight. From the weird to the wonderful, we’ll be covering the full automotive spectrum. You can check out past Wednesday Want entries right here.

A teaser video released by Mercedes-Benz hints at a new Maybach model for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

We start today off with a video revisiting two of the most potent rally homologation specials the world has seen in the last 20 years.

Scroll back to 20 years ago and the concept of a supercar coming from anywhere other than a niche manufacturer from Italy or maybe the UK was ridiculous. Audi clearly had different ideas, and we’ve been out driving the new generation of its R8 to see how it has done second time around.

We’re sure many of you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of GT Sport on October 17. Trust us, we feel your pain and we’re right there with you. Thankfully, we searched the internet for remedies to help scratch the GT itch. Here are some videos from Best Motoring that we think embodies the spirit of GT through and through.

UK sim racers looking to get behind the wheel of a real-world open-wheeler, take note. A seat in the 2018 National Formula Ford Championship is up for grabs via a sim-racing competition.

When you think of James Bond, the next thought is probably an Aston Martin DB5. The DB5 will always be one of the most iconic movie cars. With its classic good looks, glorious exhaust note, and coolness off the scale, it’s a dream car for many.

One of the best things about owning a car with a big V8 stuffed under the hood is the sound. Stomping on the go pedal and listening to that glorious roar makes the price you paid worth it. However, while you may absolutely love it chances are your neighbors hate you for it. Ford understands buyer’s plight and aims to fix that with the 2018 Mustang GT.

The Lexus LFA is one of the most brilliant pieces of automotive engineering to date. Over eight years Toyota engineers built the car to perfection. It even continues to be impressive five years later. So why are there still 12 sitting on dealer lots?

What initially seemed a typical driving accident turned into a most bizarre scene in England earlier this week. A Leicester security camera captured nine people vacating a Civic after it rammed into the back of another car.

New spy shots of Aston Martin’s entry-level model replacement are now out in the wild. The photos show us our first look at the production body of the V8 Vantage replacement.

Motorsport fans had plenty to work with this past weekend. As we head into the later summer months we’re going to break down the racing action from Formula One, Blancpain and the Pirelli World Challenge. So without further ado, let’s get to it.

Suddenly a rare Lamborghini Diablo appears and could be yours for under one million dollars. Costing more than a brand-new Aventador S, this particular Diablo is a collector’s item thanks to a starring film role.

Last week, the FIA announced that the unsightly Halo protection device will be on every Formula One car starting next year. While it may improve safety, it’s not the best looking piece of kit. So we thought we’d take a look back at other “innovations” that didn’t really add to the glamour of F1.

The 1966 Ford GT40 is one of the most iconic cars ever. Synonymous with achievements in motosport, casuals and car fanatics alike can easily identify the shape and curves of the classic. However, a car thief in Iowa clearly didn’t get this memo after attempting to steal a replica.

The Ford F-150 Raptor is one of the most impressive off-road vehicles one can buy off a showroom floor. It’s ludicrous in all the right places and as far as trucks go it’s pretty affordable for what buyers get. So why did someone spend $300,000 on one?

The world can finally go off road without the use of a fossil fuel burning engine. Bollinger Motors  has introduced what it claims is the world’s first all-electric sports utility truck.

Ah, the joys of driving. Picking up your new car, blasting down the highway, playing your favorite driving tunes and getting punted in the back by a careless driver. Well, maybe not that last part.
