The Turbinator II broke the 500-mph barrier a couple weeks ago at Bonneville. In the world of racing – whether it’s a professional competition or an amateur grudge match between the lights – there’s the adage in the minds of all competitors. No matter how fast you are, there will always be someone faster. That is, unless…
It was an F-250 versus an F-450 Florida man is at it again, this time going one-on-one with a tow truck to prevent his Ford Super Duty from being repossessed. The video above speaks for itself (including some mild swearing), leaving both the Super Duty and the hauler that was towing it away substantially worse for…
The justification involves global 1 percenters and yearning. Mostly the latter. You may think this whole SUV thing is out of control, but the blasphemy inherent in these vehicles evaporates the moment a chief executive explains the rationale. When your customers’ garages are packed with multiple vehicles and one of them is always an SUV,…
With up to 800-hp of low-end boost. Wow. The Mustang GT – a very capable pony car that can produce up to 460 horses and 420 pound-feet of torque right out of a Ford factory. Its naturally-aspirated engine is something we car nuts love, especially that low-end torque that’s guaranteed to keep your head nestled on the headrest. But…
Enjoy the journey and destination in one convenient package. Off-roaders and outdoor adventurers have turned to the Jeep Wrangler and its nimble predecessors for decades as the vehicle-of-choice for going well off the beaten path.

If looks could kill, we’d all be dead right now. Should we be concerned at this point? It seems like we’re seeing new larger-than-life armored vehicles cropping up on a weekly basis. The latest example comes from a company called Inkas Armored Vehicle Manufacturing, and as you can see, it’s not what we’d call a looker. Of…
Bronco6g.com The number of new cars available with a manual transmission gets smaller every year, and even sports sedans like the new BMW 3 Series are getting rid of them for the U.S. market. And while trucks and SUVs have overwhelmingly been equipped with automatics in recent years, we might have a new savior in…
It looks like the M5 suffers from a multiple personality disorder: luxury sedan and four-door supercar. Much like the Mercedes-AMG E63 and the Audi RS6 Avant, the BMW M5 is that type of car that can basically do it all. It can serve as a comfy luxury sedan like you’d expect from a 5 Series or it…
The “Beast of the Green Hell” packs some serious punch courtesy of tuner-prescribed steroids. If you feel like life’s too short to wait for the Mercedes-AMG GT R Clubsport let alone the confirmed Black Series, tuners can satisfy your desire for a meaner coupe born in Affalterbach. Starting off with the base model or the hotter S version,…
E.C.D Automotive Design calls it Project Evolution. We call it bloody awesome. It’s been a while since we heard from East Coast Defender. In fact, the company has changed its name in the months since our last ECD feature; the new entity is known now as E.C.D. Automotive Design. Fortunately it appears the custom Land Rover Defender projects…
