Fans of BBC television may have noticed that certain high-budget episodes of their favorite series feature huge car crashes and realistic motorway scenes. Those great episodes of television were brought to you by a failed state infrastructure project in a small town in England.
Everybody is reportedly fine after a group of kids playing ice hockey were confronted with a ice resurfacing machine, commonly known as a Zamboni though this one is a different brand, and its operator completely engulfed in flames doing a lap of the rink earlier this week.
I got my job at Jalopnik in August of 2015 after starting a James Bond themed Kinja blog and emailing former Editor-in-Chief Patrick George my articles for a year. It’s been a crazy six years and I’ve been fortunate to share them with Jason Torchinsky who is still here, too. So I’m leaving him with a present.
Despite a few cooling issues under heavy track use, the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was one of the best cars GM has ever built. A flat-plane crank engine has long been rumored to power the next-generation of the Z06 in its new mid-engine configuration, and this new teaser sounds like that’s what we’ll get.
While the U.S. mostly gets rehashed versions of the iconic Volkswagen Golf design repackaged into same-looking vehicles of various sedan and crossover configurations, the automaker is putting out all-new designs for the Chinese market and they certainly look interesting.
The new 2022 Toyota Tundra will continue to offer its iconic powered rear cab window on the upcoming next-gen pickup, which is currently a full-size class exclusive. The feature was visibly confirmed by a teaser for the truck, which also shows off a huge powered glass roof.
Justin Law, a car builder and veteran Goodwood driver of various Don Law Racing Jaguar race cars, took a XJR-12D Group C into the hay on Sunday. Footage of the crash from the Goodwood Festival of Speed livestream captured the crash, as well as the driver exiting the car afterward seemingly without serious injury.
Ford has confirmed the current Ford F-150 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel engine’s days are literally numbered in the U.S., with ordering only open through this Friday, July 16 before it’s axed likely for good.
A video shared to Twitter yesterday appears to show the owner of a Mazda RX-7 catching thieves on camera right as they drive away with his beautiful car, shouting helplessly from above. Sadly, it appears the latest updates suggest the car still hasn’t been found a day later.
Many people have come around to the bold direction of the new Ford Mustang Mach-E, which builds on the pedigree of the Mustang coupe sports car with a rear- or all-wheel drive electric crossover. Despite the controversy, it’s a good car with great performance, but the real EV muscle is just around the corner.
Perhaps recent travel restrictions have made some folks in Germany and Europe realize that traveling locally can be safe and just as appealing as travel abroad. Maybe they want to amplify their daily commute to get the most out of life (when the weather is nice.) Whatever it is, the convertible VW T-Roc has surprisingly accounted for over 28 percent of the model’s sales so far this year.
U.S. enthusiasts have long yearned after the forbidden fruit of international utes, now suffering a drought of local comparable cars pairing the utility of a pickup bed with the footprint of a sedan left by the collapse of the El Camino and Subaru Baja markets long ago. Now, a kit attempts to keep the dream alive, this time with the Dodge Charger.
The upcoming Rivian R1S and R1T electric vehicles feature a growing suite of cool party tricks with practical applications, and a new patent filed for a vehicle maneuver called the “K-Turn” by Rivian seems cleverly simple.
Billionaires have spent their fortunes trying to “solve” the issue of vehicle congestion and mass transportation in the U.S., but they are often mocked for ignoring current systems that work and are affordable for everyone, like a bus line.
I fully support unconventional material and design choices in cars, especially in new production cars that people can actually buy. At first, I was in love with the 2023 Kia Sportage’s optional blue interior trim. Then the neat-freak in me cried out in horror and I realized I may not be able to embrace this one.
The new Genesis G80 Sport has been overhauled with all-wheel drive and an optional new rear-wheel steering setup to grip through corners like a Halo Warthog that’s low enough to the ground to not flip over.
Mazda recently confirmed that the next-generation Mazda Miata roadster will in fact be getting some sort of battery power. The Miata is known for being lightweight and balanced, and large batteries are heavy and cumbersome, so the internet’s experts have weighed in on the best possible outcome for the car.
The onslaught of retractable hard-top convertibles over the last two decades basically died overnight, and since I don’t think many people cared enough to realize it, I also don’t think anybody is going to be upset over it.
There are plenty of factors contributing to the current warped world of locked-down travel, computer chip shortages and other disrupted supply and manufacturing around the world, but most of them currently relate to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. One symptom of the industry’s struggles is a dramatic shortage of minivan stock at the moment.
You’ve likely seen statistics like, “a majority of daily commuters in the U.S. only drive less than 60 or 100 miles a day,” a lot in the debate over the benefits of electric vehicles over gasoline. The stats are used to counter the common misconception of long charge-times for modern EVs, but what if I told you we’ve been having this same debate for over a decade and wasted all that time?
The upcoming totally redesigned Nissan 400Z concept and its profound dark rectangular grille was polarizing when it debuted earlier this year. This surprised me, considering it stayed incredibly true to the original Nissan 240Z’s look, but now it appears that the final production car may have literally filled in the gaps.
What an abundance of riches we have coming from Subaru so far this year. The new BRZ looks sharp and gets just enough improvement to keep things interesting, and now we’re already getting primed up for what I think most of us really want: the 2022 Subaru WRX.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ordered all vehicle operators and automakers to regularly report crashes involving vehicles equipped with driver-assistance systems, now including the vehicle, equipment and software manufactures. It sounds like common sense for an organization that really has some catching up to do.
We all know that the first look we usually get of a new vehicle online is often not even a real car, but rather a graphic rendering by computer software. While the tech is good enough to make a near-perfect rendering of a car these days, each rendering program is different enough that it often results in significant changes to the car’s appearance, for better or worse.
The first on- and off-road testing of the 2021 Ford Bronco is out this week. More interesting details are trickling along, too, now that people are finally getting their hands on the long-hyped comeback truck. One new novelty is in how easy the front fenders will be to remove and replace.
I am frankly obsessed with nearly every example of cross-generation wheel swapping on cars, as it always results in a fascinating result I end up loving. This sixth-generation Ford Mustang sitting cool on vintage fourth-generation Mustang wheels has had me thinking all day.
Russia’s capitol city and its large paved roads, massive concrete structures and impressive subway system are all under water after the city received what’s been estimated to be up to 70 percent of its monthly average rainfall in a torrential downpour over the weekend and today, according to Moscow Deputy Mayor Pyotr Biryukov.
