James May and Richard Hammond Are Just Doing Top Gear Stuff Now

Be a Hero, Buy This Off-Road Mini

It’s pretty obvious that Mini Coopers are not made for off-roading. The pint-sized five-door is designed for puttering around town or zipping through the cones of your local autocross course, and not much else. Anything larger than a pebble would disrupt the suspension. But don’t tell that to the person…

It’s really hard to argue with a Porsche 911. Even though the new, manual only, base-engined Carrera T now costs what a 911 GT3 used to cost, the increase in price comes with old 911 GT3 performance. Then Porsche has this special talent—charging more for less equipment. Because the Carrera…

This Might Be Mansory's Worst Car Yet

Mansory must be trolling at this point. It's making three special versions of its "Pugnator," a modified Ferrari Purosangue that was already hard to look at. And they're somehow even more wild than before. It's called the Mansory Pugnator Tricolore, and it features some truly ludicrous bodywork.

Even Hot Wheels Could Get a Price Hike From Trump's Tariffs

Hot Wheels toys could become far more expensive if President Trump has his way. On Thursday, the President threatened to enact a 100-percent tariff on Mattel, Hot Wheels' parent company, after its CEO promised to diversify its production to other countries (but not the United States).

Every Three-Row SUV You Can Buy in 2025

A UK Company Is Bringing V-6-Powered Miatas to America

One of the many great things about the Mazda Miata is that it's a great platform to build upon. A decently roomy engine bay in NAs and NBs accommodates a ton of engine swaps. Ford and Chevy V-8s are common, K-series Honda engines are getting more popular too. One company…

The US Secret Service Can't Drive Stick. GM Is Helping Fix That
