Audi creates matrix LED headlights, permitting far more accurate modulation of light output... and the feds demurred, not knowing quite what to make of headlights that do low beam, high beam, mid beam, and potentially everything in-between.
A Toyobaru Was The Getaway Car In This New Jersey Convenience Store…
Just because the New York Police Department isn't using Scion FR-Ses doesn't mean the criminals can't use them. Everyone's favorite new Japanese rear-wheel-drive sportscar was apparently used as the getaway car in the armed robbery of a New Jersey Wawa on Monday night.
William (I refuse to call him Will.I.Am) of the Black Eyed Peas has a penchant for custom cars. He customized the crap out of his Delorean

For $6,000, Don’t Get Mad, Get Nomad
From the Greek, nomades, Nomads are pastoral tribes, people who roam the land rather than settling in one permanent home. Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Nomad homage Malibu is coincidentally looking for a new home. Will its price however, have you saying, move along, move along?
McLaren's slow strip tease of the P1 supercar is coming close to an end. We've seen the exterior. We've seen the interior. And now we know just how many throbbing horsepowers will be hitting the road.
These Are Some Of The Maharaja's Old Pieces Of American Iron
On the drive back from the desert to Delhi, I asked if my car-mates had seen the massive old Rolls (we think) that just passed on the street. You yourself can see the car I'm talking about in my post about driving in India. No one other than me saw it, but one of the other passengers, a friendly guy named Ashish…
We're testing out the new Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible near Lake Tahoe, and — well look at that — it's snowing like mad. So far the 5500-pound, 616-horsepower AWD bruiser is holding its own against the SUVs. We've got Dunlop winter shoes on and chains in the trunk if we need them. We'll call if we need air support. Or a St. Bernard.
'The 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder Combines A Hard Top And Sunshine'
In 1995, Mitsubishi didn't let us have the Evo over here in the states. But they did have the 3000GT VR4, a turbo six speed monster.

The Sauber Mercedes C291 with a brand new 650 hp flat-12. It was built in 1991 right after the dominant C11. But the only thing it dominated was…a French comic book. (Image: Jean Graton/Daimler AG)
Audi RS Q3: This Is It

I Spent A Saturday Car Shopping And All I Got Was This Great Idea
Sometimes a night’s rest is all it takes to gain a bit of much-needed perspective on a bad situation. Since I was in the middle of moving I had the frustrating benefit of four whole nights of worry and fitful sleep to endure. By day I was hauling crap back and forth from the old place to the new place and by evening I …
Naturally Inspirational: Jeff Zwart's GMC Sierra Denali Commercial…
I have a confession. I'm a hoarder. No, not one of those crazy cat ladies you'd find on A&E, but close. Thanks to digital storage space becoming more affordable, I save nearly every photo or video that has crossed my desk.
Yesterday's Burger King hack made social media experts everywhere come out with tips on how to avoid a hack. Earlier today, Jeep's social media team posted tips on how to avoid a hack. They were hacked 15 minutes later.
Driving Around With A Grenade In Your Car Is A Terrible Idea
Even if it's a dud, keeping a grenade in your vehicle can get you in a lot of trouble. But Jeryd Priddy didn't seem to consider such behavior as aberrant as he cruised through Oildale, Calif. with a short-barreled shotgun and a dud grenade in his truck. The cops did.
The Fiat 500 Abarth is one of the most hoonable cars on planet Earth. Despite being front-wheel drive, shaped like an Ostrich egg (and measuring about the same size), it oozes character, flamboyance, and drivability. It is, in fact, impossible to drive the little Abarth and not hoon – regardless of what the trip entails: You’ll hoon to the grocery store, hoon to pick up the kids; you’ll probably even hoon to a colonoscopy, such is the intoxicating nature of this mad Italian shoebox. The 500 Abarth is the “everyman’s” hoonmobile, even if you can’t drive for shit.
Tons Of Extra Cash For A Stupid Wing
I was reading the preview of Evo's review of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, and looking at the pictures, I finally realized that the thing I like the most about it is that ridiculous rear wing. That piece of carbon fibre looks so out of place on the butt of a car that costs three times as much as a normal V12 Vantage…
