Imagine a place without any form of motorsport. It’s horrifying we know, and not a place we ever want to live. But, according to UK racing body the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA), this could become very real for the European Union.

With the release of Gran Turismo Sport just days away, the marketing for the game is in full force. Everywhere we look we see ads spring up — but, that might just be because we spend all our time looking at sim racing content. One recent ad in particular struck us right in the nostalgia center.

How much do you think a 2004 Volkswagen Golf GTI is worth? Assuming it’s in decent condition with relatively low miles for its age? We’d guess somewhere in the $5,000 ballpark, but of course, we’re wrong. The actual price of a 2004 GTI is one packet of McDonald’s Szechuan dipping sauce.

Are you ready for the impending zombie apocalypse? Chances are you aren’t. Thankfully the Rezvani Tank will give you all the zombie smashing power you could ever want.

Back in May 2016, we got our first look at the Peugeot Vision GT car. The Peugeot L500 R HYbrid was exactly the kind of madness we expected. Now, for the launch of Gran Turismo Sport, Peugeot is updating the L500 with a newer version dubbed the “L750 R HYbird”.

Adding electric options to cars are all the rage right now in the automotive industry. Volvo and Jaguar both announced plans to offer an electrified fleet in the very near future. Even performance brands like Mercedes-AMG and Polestar are getting in on the action. So what company is next for electrification? According to a recent press release, it looks like General Motors is hopping aboard the electric train.

Electric cars are all the rage right now. That’s why, early yesterday, Dyson announced it plans on producing an electric car by 2020. This is of course after denying rumors for nearly 10 years.

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.

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 also has some of the quickest cars ever tested.

Smartphones are fantastic things. They took the entire world and reduced it to a device that can easily fit into your pocket. As a result, they’re arguably one of the greatest inventions of modern times.

As gearheads, the roar of an engine is often music to our ears. We love everything from the whine of a high-strung I4 to the bellow of a meaty V10. Thankfully, Audi shares our sentiment and rolled out a musical rendition to some famous classic TV shows for the Emmy Awards.

Last month we told you about an upcoming performance division from Toyota. Today the company took the wraps off of it and gave us all the details of what that brand will offer.

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

We’re fans of ridiculous off-road vehicles. Whether it’s a lifted Mercedes wagon, a supercar turned dune buggy, or a real life Warthog, they pique our interest. Now there’s a new car to add to our growing list of weird off-road vehicles: a Mad Max-inspired Bentley Continental GT.

MINI has rolled out its latest wild-and-crazy John Cooper Works GP concept ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Back in July, we told you about a private team that set out to break the Nürburgring record with a Viper ACR. Since the story ran though, the team went on to improve its record run. 

A land of fire and ice doesn’t sound like a place that many folks want to live. Intense geothermal activity, blankets of snow, and brutal terrain make for a harsh environment for sure.
