Nissan Motorsport has unveiled the race colours for its 2013 Nissan Altima V8 Supercars and its four-man driver line-up that will take to the grid at the opening round of the championship in Adelaide in March.
What happens when a 21-year old takes a first generation RX7, throws out the rotary engine, puts in a V8, and makes a whole bunch of other questionable modifications? You get this: Corbin Goodwin's amazing RX7 hot rod. Holy crap nuggets is this thing cool.
The worst thing you can do in any business venture is overpromise and then also underperform. Jalopnik readers found ten cars that never had the engine they needed, or had an engine wasted on that platform.
Volvo Went Communist Long Before The Chinese

Tesla Motors' website promises that the new Model S sedan is a car "so advanced it sets the new standard for premium performance" while delivering "unprecedented range and a thrilling drive experience." But visiting the Tesla Motors Club forums gives you an idea of what the other side of Tesla ownership is like: doors and rear hatches that open on their own, regular failures of the car's massive touchscreen control panel, persistent problems with the car's trick extending door handles, and powering down randomly.

Watch This Driver Crash Into A Closing Gate For No Good Reason
People seem to be growing more and more impatient every single day. Two minutes for an iced venti mocha grande frappucino is enough to start a war. So it's no surprise that this person has to rush to try and beat this gate. Too bad the gate has other plans.

For $22,000, Is This A Sick 610?
The avian Bluebird is one of the few members of the thrush family to call America home. In contrast, Nissan left the Bluebird nameplate at home, calling its mid-sizer the 4, 5, 6, and eventually 810 when sending it stateside. Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe 610 is more rush than thrush, but will its price make you…
2014 Alfa Romeo 4C: This Is It
The production version of Alfa Romeo's compact mid-engined sports car will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. And after that, it's going to America! Alfa left the States in 1995, so I guess you really have to wait 18 years before you can officially enjoy porn.
Put one F60 on a deserted set of farm roads, and you get as close as you'll ever get to a Ferrari Enzo Gymkhana video.
'Coda Has A Plan To Turn Everyone On To Plugging In'
The 2012 Coda Electric was the car that was supposed to put the established manufacturers on notice, like Tesla and Fisker are kind of doing. Of course, then Coda laid off pretty much everyone and the whole idea of competing kinda disappeared.
Who Is The Snazziest Car Executive?
At the end of the day, the car business is just a business. It’s filled with PowerPoint presentations and projected earnings, and grey suits. Some executives do inject a bit of style into the proceedings.
Track driving is not something you can just immediately be very good at. It takes a lot of practice, and ideally you'd start in a slower car and work your way up to something fast. A Porsche 911 GT2 is not slow and isn't really the ideal car to learn in.
