Approximately twice a week I wake up drenched in sweat and fuming with rage at the fact that the Formula One-engined Yamaha OX99-11 was never given a chance at series production. 

I’ve always wondered what it would take to build a 6x6 drivetrain, and as this YouTube video shows, it’s actually not too hard! All you need is two ordinary run-of-the-mill transfer cases, a bunch of driveshafts, and a bit of fabrication skill, and you can power all six of your vehicle’s wheels for maximum traction.

If you were hoping to buy something with C2-generation Corvette good looks tacked on to an incredible modern sports car chassis with Japanese reliability and conveniences, you are out of luck. The good news is that legendary coachbuilders Mitsuoka had you in mind as their target market. The bad news is that all 200 of…

In the late 1980s, Nissan developed a mid-engine four-wheel-drive supercar with a twin-turbocharged V6, the Mid4. It was slated for production, and might have set the world of sports cars on fire, beating Acura’s NSX to market and absolutely dominating in the face of the fastest Italians of the day. Sadly the Mid4 was…

Jalopnik’s own David Tracy has a fetish for taking trashed Jeeps and turning them into... vaguely operable trashed Jeeps. The comment sections in his stories are usually about 50/50 between people encouraging him and people hoping he’ll put the wrench down and take a breather for sanity. Not this time.

It feels like only yesterday we were driving the 2020 Porsche 911 for the first time, and now we already have what appears to be an early peek at the upcoming Porsche 911 Turbo. The wing looks bigger, the rear bumper is a little more featured, and it miraculously still manages to look good in grey.

So in reading over the comments in the recent episode of Jason Drives, I was surprised to find something that was brought up several times, sandwiched between comments of confusion and dismay regarding just what the hell is going on with my hair. The comments were baffled that I referred to the Fire Truck’s 289 cubic…

It’s just another day in sunny New York City, where a visibly decaying piece of the elevated 7 subway train fell down and crashed through the windshield of a moving vehicle in Queens. Luckily, nobody appears to have been seriously injured.

Earlier this week, I wrote about my $500 postal Jeep’s rotted-out frame, concerned that it may doom the project. Now, to add to that setback, I’ve just discovered that the engine’s cylinder head has a major crack, and will need to be replaced. This and other new discoveries have made it clear that my postal Jeep has…

The Ford Ranger just made its way back to America, but don’t forget it’s been around in other markets for the better part of a decade now. It’s been refreshed for duty here but it is, in fact, old. So it doesn’t surprise me at all that Ford’s working on an all-new one. Could it look this wild?

Last week, on the heels of the massive Barbie Dream Camper recall, I learned—and don’t ask me how or why—that there are now Power Wheels ride-on cars for children that come the auxiliary outlets for their music devices. On a current Ford Mustang lookalike model, there is a touch screen in the dash to control …

Consumer Reports has taken back its recommendation of the Tesla Model 3 following multiple reports of reliability issues with the car’s bodywork, paint finish, trim fitment and that giant touchscreen inside.

So far, there’s only been three countries to send spacecraft to the moon: the United States, home of the Whopper™, the Soviet Union (now re-branded as Russia), and China, maker of all the crap you own. It’s possible that very soon another country will be added to this select group: Israel. Notably, Israel’s lunar…

This is the speedy young Finnish driver Esapekka Lappi in his Citroën C3 WRC car at the recent Rally Sweden. Yes, he is having one of the more dramatic crashes I can recall, nosing into a snowbank, spinning completely around and backwards, then continuing like nothing happened.
