John M. Broder, the New York Times reporter involved in now-infamous failed Tesla Model S drive up the East Coast, has responded to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's claim that he greased the test and lied in his story. Broder's explanation? He did what he was told to do by Tesla employees — they just gave him bad advice.
Rick Ibsen played a big part in a New York Times reporter's ill-fated Tesla Model S drive up the East Coast. He was the one who came to the car's rescue when it apparently ran out of power and stopped working on a Connecticut exit ramp. But until I spoke with him a few minutes ago, he was unaware that this had
No matter if it is a cheap and cheerful econobox or a shiny and pricey Ariel Atom V8, light cars can get a lot out of high-revving motorcycle engines.
I've loved Lotus ever since I've been alive. I'd give my left nut for pretty much any car to come out of the Hethel factory.
Is there anything worse than offering to buy a car left out in a field, getting refused by the owner, and then seeing it rot away?
The World's Most Stereotypical Lamborghini Owner gave his 'Concubine' this, the worst Valentine's Day present ever.
The Ram 1500 will be first half-ton pickup of modern times to get a diesel engine. Interesting.
It may be the funniest show on TV, but for car nerds, Archer is like a kiss on the mouth from Bar Refaeli. The animated spy comedy is swarming with cool cars. Watch any five minutes at random and you’ll see so much automotive eye candy, it's as if Hemmings, not the FX network, produced it. We grilled executive producers Adam Reed and Matt Thompson, and the show’s art and animation wizards, on how and why Archer provides the best car spotting on TV, from the pitch-perfect choices of its main characters’ rides, to the baffling selection of automobilia creeping across the backgrounds.
They gave us the inside story on how they pick the cars, how they build and animate them, what vehicular surprises might await in future episodes and which cars helped make them the top-class creative nutbags they are today.
I'm back for part 2 of Co-driving Behind the Scenes and today we're going to talk about one of the most important pieces of equipment for a co-driver; the co-driver bag. From the start of recce (pronounced wreck-E, short for reconnaissance, refers to the period before the rally when competitors can slowly drive the…
As I write this, journalists from CNNMoney are attempting to do what the New York Times failed to do: drive from Washington to Boston in a Tesla Model S, making use of the company's innovative Supercharger stations along the way. Will they pull it off?
For as long as I can remember, racing games have either been a simulation or an arcade experience, but rarely have the two intermingled. But the arrival of games like Grid and Forza Horizon have merged those two categories into an interesting grey area. And now we have Grid 2, which will be making that grey area even greyer.
This is WRC champion Petter Solberg with his wife/co-driver/mechanic Pernilla, on their way to winning the historic portion of last weekend's Rally Sweden. If they can rally together, why can't you and your significant other?
One of the coolest car events in the world is the annual drift competition in front of Romania's Parliament building. It looks even better from above.
Our very own Wolverine, Nino Karotta tried to teach you some Hungarian with his review of the bonkers Renault Avantime or the two-faced BMW M5, but when it came to the roadtrip with a Scion FR-S from Barcelona to Budapest, the team took the time to shoot everything twice so you could enjoy the video in English as…
Among Elon Musk's many rebuttals to the New York Times' failed drive of the Tesla Model S is that the car never fully ran out of battery power, even when it was being towed away on a flatbed truck. Not true, says the towing company.
All of us love seeing classic cars still on the road. There is something that stirs inside us to see some former legend of days before still prowling the streets. Many of us would love to have more than one of these beasts in their garage. But how many is too many? Some of us have the means to restore one or two. 50? …
