| Clearly Not the Best Way to Tow a Lamborghini Gallardo Posted: 11 Mar 2014 04:06 PM PDT  Let's make it clear before we say anything else: no one likes having their ride impounded, but if you parked your car illegally and the law stipulates that it will be towed away, then you get what you deserve. However, that doesn't give authorities a free pass to cause any type of damage to your vehicle. Read more »    |
| Battle of the Naturally-Aspirated V8s: Audi RS5 vs. Mercedes C 63 AMG Edition 507 Posted: 11 Mar 2014 03:40 PM PDT  Naturally-aspirated V8 engines are a dying breed because of ever stricter emissions regulations, and this trend is most obvious in Europe. In recent years, German carmakers have been gradually replacing naturally-aspirated V8s with turbocharged V8s and V6s in their flagship sedans and sports cars, but there are still a handful of models that use "old-fashioned" V8s.

| BMW Says Demand for i8 Exceeds Initial Planned Production Posted: 11 Mar 2014 02:34 PM PDT  The new BMW i8 coupe may boast an impressive combined fuel economy of 2.1l/100 km (equal to 111.2mpg US or 134.5mpg UK) on the EU test cycle for as long as the battery has juice in it, but with a starting price of $135,700 (plus delivery) in the States, €126,000 in Germany and £99,125 in the UK, it's not like you hit the money-saving jackpot. Still, the hefty price tag hasn't deterred buyers from placing in their orders. Read more »    |

| Project CARS Trailer Promises Digital Driving Bliss Posted: 11 Mar 2014 12:16 PM PDT  Project CARS is really shaping up into a very nice looking game that already challenges the best Forza 5 or Assetto Corsa can muster, and since it's still in development, the only way for it to go is up. The latest trailer builds on that and shows us a wider variety of cars than we had previously seen. Read more »    |

| Foolish Baja Girl Lives Another Day to Perform Another Senseless Act Posted: 11 Mar 2014 10:37 AM PDT  Seriously, now, here's another one of those "you can't make this kind of stuff up" stories. When attending a race, the very last place you want to be as a spectator is in the middle of the track, yet for the stupidest of all reasons, a young girl deliberately walked across the line and stood with her back facing the oncoming racecar to have her picture taken.

| XCar Says There’s No Need for a BMW M2 when the M235i Is that Good Posted: 11 Mar 2014 10:12 AM PDT  You have probably heard rumors about BMW considering an M2 Coupe, but until that model is officially confirmed, the closest thing to a full-blown BMW M car based on the 2-Series Coupe is the M235i Coupe.

However, that's the outgoing model, not the new, non-Impreza-labeled 2015 WRX and WRX STI that are available for pre-order exclusively as four-door sedans. Read more »   |
| Project CARS Creators Announce Second Game Called "World of Speed" [w/Video] Posted: 11 Mar 2014 07:24 AM PDT  While Project CARS is a serious-toned racing game, Slightlymad Studios' second new title, World of Speed, is an entirely different kind of proposition.

| Next Jeep Wrangler Could Gain Power-Folding Roof Posted: 11 Mar 2014 05:17 AM PDT  Part of the appeal of owning a current-gen Jeep Wrangler is the ability to take the top half of it apart with hand tools, leave it in the garage, and go out on a completely open drive on a warm, peaceful Sunday.
