In 1981 Dodge entered a pair of Ramchargers in the Safari Rally. They finished 1-2 in class, driven by Malcolm Smith and Rod Hall, 9th and 10th overall. Pretty rad if you ask me. 

General Motors’ new e-bike brand ARIV will, ahem, arrive on the scene in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands later this year with two models, called Meld and Merge. Each is powered by a compact electric motor, which assists pedal power with four different modes to move riders up to about 15 miles per hour with a 40…

When I watch this video, I turn into a little kid again. It’s hard to fathom the ability to go this fast with this much attack, but Ronnie Bratschi seems to have a keen ability to go fast and not crash. This Evo VIII is fast. Like really fast.

The 1950s were an incredible time of ingenuity in the motorsport world. Guys in sheds were building incredible contraptions that were capable of speeds never seen before. Take the Super Shaker streamliner seen here for example. It started life as a Cooper sports racer chassis, and then the original builder/racer Bill…

Bigfoot was the epitome of rad when I was a young and impressionable child. This generation of Ford pickup was a clean and attractive design, and when turned into the rear-steer big-tire weirdo that is Bigfoot 9, it looked even better.

It’s hard to go wrong with the formula McLaren used to create the 600LT. Take the 570S and make it a bit lighter, give it a bit more power, and make it minuscule-ly longer. It’s still the most analog car in the McLaren lineup, with standard springs and shock absorbers without the tricky bits of the 720S, and that…

NASCAR isn’t as simple as trying to drive in a few hundred circles faster than everyone else, and hasn’t ever been. But that’s been the overarching idea for most of its history, up until the last few years, when rules overhauls introduced segmented races, a near algebraic points system and elimination playoffs.

Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

This mint 1987 Buick GNX with eight (8) miles on it went for $200,000 on Bring a Trailer earlier today. Interestingly, that is not a record for the ultra-rare GNX model, as the last one ever made recently sold for $220,000.

As Jalopnik’s resident Buick owner, I should probably have a little bit of sympathy for the death of the Cascada, as reported by Automotive News, but I absolutely don’t. While I absolutely adore my Regal TourX, I feel nothing for this compact convertible. It doesn’t mesh with the rest of the Buick lineup, it isn’t…

Michigan is about as close as you can get in the U.S. to the climate of Scandanavian countries. It makes sense that when you combine a long cold winter with bored car folks, they’re bound to build the wildest and craziest stuff possible. That’s exactly the impetus behind Cody Loveland’s 1993 Honda Civic. When you have…

The Ford Mustang may be adding an engine option between the 310 horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the base car and the mighty 460 horsepower 5.0-liter V8 in the GT, friend of Jalopnik Bozi Tatarevic writes for Hagerty. This is according to his “sources at Ford” and appears to align with a VIN decoder document sent from…

We’re all familiar with the 900-horsepower Reliant Robins that can come out of driving games’ “tuning” options, but can you transform an unlikely vehicle into a track monster in real life? That’s what three friends want to find out with the Range Rover they bought “after a drunken night of Gran Turismo,” according to…

Jokes about leg day aside, uh, please never ever use your body as a push-bar between two cars.

Michiganders from the upper peninsula—also known as as Yoopers—have me scratching my head today, as I just learned via Michigan news site MLive that a Rotary club is putting on a contest asking people to guess when a 1998 Saturn SL will break through ice and fall into a lake. And there’s even a live feed showing the…
