Race cars are boring. Trucks with tons of horsepower, loads of suspension travel, and the ability to take on any surface with ease are the racing machines you didn’t know you needed in your life. Please get acquainted with Stadium Super Trucks.

Rumors of a widebody Charger sedan being seen on the streets seem to have been accurate, as Dodge finally showed the car in public. The Widebody Charger was displayed during SoCal LX Spring Fest, a festival that is, you guessed it, all about LX-chassis MoPars. Technically FCA is calling the car a “concept” but it is…

In a race that saw dominant driver and pole sitter Will Power retire with a few handfuls of laps to go, rookie Colton Herta won his first-career IndyCar Series race in the series’ first trip to Circuit of The Americas on Sunday. The victory makes Herta, who turns 19 later this month, IndyCar’s youngest winner.

Since IndyCar at Circuit of The Americas for the first time gave us a reason to celebrate—as if we need much of one, anyway—your fellow Jalopnik readers, writers, IndyCar fans, drivers and others met up at a bar in Austin on Saturday night. There were drinks. There was free stuff. Mario Andretti attended.

The original Suzuki Katana was an incredibly forward looking design and rode like a dream. It’s one of those bikes with a name that carried weight, which very few historically have. When Suzuki killed the name at the end of 2006, it was assumed that it would stay gone. Over a decade later, the name is back for the…

Don’t look it directly in the eyes. Nobody knows exactly what will happen if you do, but it’s definitely bad. This 1990 Nissan Autech Zagato Stelvio is already angry, and it might just body slam you into the floor if it thinks you’re disrespecting it. It’s put up with nasty remarks about its aesthetic deficiencies for…

There have only been a handful of SUVs with 12 cylinder engines. Bentley’s Bentayga has a W12, of course, as did VW’s Touareg for a while. Audi’s Q7 had an optional V12 turbodiesel with a massive 783 ft-lb of torque. And, of course, Mercedes shoved a 12 under the chunky hood of the Gelandewagen. But the progenitor of…

A margin of victory of just 0.006 seconds is always an indicator of an incredible race finish. Mazda’s MX5 Cup racing class is a spec racer class with relatively low power, so you expect the finishes to be close, but damn that was an absolute blast to watch. It pays to keep in mind that this was the first race of the…

One third of the Grand Tour hosting roster, affable granddad, and punctilious automotive fanatic, James May will be found either annoying or relatable depending on your own predilections. Personally, I find his pedantry borderline endearing, and as I grow older I find myself drifting in a May-ward manner. I hope I…

The IndyCar Series is at Circuit of The Americas for the first time ever, former series champion Will Power is on pole position, there are no track limits in the 19th turn, and Stadium Super Trucks is here. If you couldn’t tell by now, that means it’s shaping up to be a good weekend in Austin.

Science has been seeking an answer to the question “What is a Mercedes-Benz R-class?” for years to no avail. Nobody has ever been able to capture one to study it closely. Several researchers have offered hypotheses, but the debate rages on. Wagon? Van? SUV? Hatchback? Marsupial? The world may never know. 

It’s the IndyCar Series’ first time at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, meaning basically everything is a record—lap times, session results and the like. And, with Saturday’s qualifying wrapped up, the first ever pole sitter for an IndyCar race at Circuit of The Americas is 2014 series champion Will Power.

There is something freeing about the idea of a motorcycle with a fuel capacity larger than most cars. With a huge 43 liter front tank, a 17 liter rear tank, and a pair of side tanks, assuming you packed enough survival gear, you could ride this damn thing across any large stretch of uninhabited land for basically as…

This is IndyCar’s first time running at the famed Texas circuit, and it comes as no surprise that all of the racers are scrambling for as much time to familiarize themselves with the new track as they can. With one of the sessions on Friday basically nulled thanks to an engine explosion (when was the last time a…

It would seem that Daigo Saito’s 2JZ-swapped Mk5 Supra has had some teething issues, as it has already gone aflame. While running this weekend in Japan, the car suffered a couple of big errors involving flame emitting from both ends of the car. It would seem that perhaps the fueling system isn’t quite as sorted as it…
