VIDEO: Titan trailer celebrates the glory that is the Nürburgring

As any parent knows, when a child finds a video he likes he can watch it a kabillion jillion times with undiminished joy. That's exactly the kid we turn into any time you cut up race footage and set it to classical music and exhaust notes. This time it's the preview of the movie Titan, by French director Stephane Benini, which strings together action from the 1000 KM of the Nürburgring and features modern and vintage racers and motorcycles. The movie has its own Facebook page if you really want to declare your love, or you can do ... Read more →

VIDEO: Audi tracks down the last Horch... in Texas? Jonathon Ramsey

VIDEO: Formula for Safety? Abu Dhabi Police unveil the F999 Noah Joseph

Wednesday evening before the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last month, crowds gathered along the Corniche, Abu Dhabi's seafront boulevard. Two police cars sped down the road, swerved to a stop, ...

VIDEO: Inside the cockpit of the Viper ACR's record lap at Laguna Seca Noah Joseph

Pushing a performance monster like the Viper ACR around a race track at ten tenths takes some pretty massive cojones. But few tracks require the testicular fortitude of Laguna Seca. The iconic ...

VIDEO: Chevrolet Volt tests driver-controlled audio warning system with the blind Sam Abuelsamid

As the popularity of hybrids has grown over the last few years, advocates for the blind have been raising a red flag about noise, or -- more to the point -- the lack of it. Because electric-drive ...

Top Gear builds Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust, an ER-EV to answer the Chevy Volt 3 days ago on Autoblog

Many electric vehicle fans out there are constantly complaining about how long it's taking automakers to bring plug-in vehicles to market. We've had commenters on this site claim that automakers should be able to bring EVs to the street in six months. Apparently even six months is too long for ...

VIDEO: 2010 Dodge Viper ACR makes the rounds at Laguna Seca, sets track record 3 days ago on Autoblog

The Dodge Viper is many things to many people. An object of unparalleled lust to some, a big-mouthed, truck-engined Corvette ripoff to others. And an ankle burner to still others. But no one ever thought of Dodge's V10 quarter-mile thug as a serious track car. Until the Viper ACR showed up. ...

VIDEO: Why? Dude blows up diecast cars in slow-mo 4 days ago on Autoblog

We'll tell you exactly why, because it's a lot of fun. We know, because we had a similar experience in late adolescence, but we used GI Joe vehicles (even the awesome hovercraft) and firecrackers. But what we didn't have back then was a 600 fps camera, but lucky for us, people do now... and they ...

VIDEO: Justin Bell shows off Lexus LFA in Jay Leno's Garage 5 days ago on Autoblog

The lease-only 2011 Lexus LFA supercar has been getting a lot of exposure lately. We had a chance to drive it a few weeks ago and just showed you some pics of the matte black car when it showed up at Cars & Coffee in Irvine this Saturday, but now we have something even better. LeMans-winner ...

Audi announces Truth in Motion documentary about U.S. ski team [w/VIDEO] 5 days ago on Autoblog

Following last year's Truth in 24, Audi is turning its keen lenswork to the U.S. Ski Team with a documentary called Truth in Motion: The Road to Vancouver. With multiple subjects this time, and less about domination than revelation, the film will showcase the stories of team athletes as they ...

Spike announces nominees for Best Driving Game of the Year 7 days ago on Autoblog

Spike TV has opened up the voting for its Video Game Awards, and the finalists are down to four: DiRT 2, Need for Speed: Shift, Forza Motorsport 3, and Gran Turismo PSP. It's a bit of a motley list, but then again it's been a motley year for driving games, and we're still waiting for a vision of ...

VIDEO: Deconstructing the end-of-the-world limo ride in 2012 7 days ago on Autoblog

We're still early in the holiday movie season, but the clear early winner is the blockbuster world-ending thriller 2012. The pic cleared $65 million in its first weekend in the U.S. and a stunning $265 million around the globe. If you have already seen the movie or if you've just checked out the ...

VIDEO: Audi teases the new A8 ahead of Sunshine State debut 8 days ago on Autoblog

We still have a bit over a week until Audi officially pulls the wraps off its next-generation A8 flagship sedan in Miami. As a holdover, however, they have released a teaser video, and we've got it for you. The operative word here is tease. As usual, very little of the car is actually shown, ...

VIDEO: The answer to how Honda will market the Accord Crosstour? Animated jazz 8 days ago on Autoblog

We're not so sure about the Honda Accord Crosstour. It's definitely a Honda, so at least from a marketer's perspective, that''s a big plus, but the big crossover/hatchback//wagon/thing isn't exactly what we'd call pretty, and worse, it isn't even as functional as its competitors. We're not alone ...

VIDEO: Disgruntled Volvo owner starts blog, crafts lament in her native Swedish tongue 8 days ago on Autoblog

Freya Svensson feels like she's getting screwed. According to her blog postings, she owns a still new-looking Volvo XC70 that has had more than its fair share of problems: a faulty transmission and an internal coolant leak that could have been caused by a cracked cylinder head or head gasket. To ...

VIDEO: Yes, the 2010 Audi S4 can drift 8 days ago on Autoblog

When we drove the 2010 Audi S4, we praised the sedan's trick electronic rear differential for its ability to shuffle torque between the rear wheels to give the sensation, if not the exact effect, of oversteer. Unfortunately, our track time was spent in an e-diffless model, so we didn't get to ...

Pole Dance: NHTSA to add new side-impact crash test? [w/VIDEO] 9 days ago on Autoblog

Not satisfied with cars that manage crash forces well enough to avoid spilling your drink, and engines that run so clean they'll barely asphyxiate ants, a new crash test is reportedly coming in the works from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Along with the test will come new ...

Officially Official: Toyota launches European Land Cruiser [w/VIDEO] 10 days ago on Autoblog

Back before SUVs became all the rage, for decades, Toyota built a bruiser of a truck called Land Cruiser. Like its counterparts from America and the UK, the Jeep CJ/Wrangler and the Land Rover Range Rover, the Land Cruiser has always delivered the biscuits for the world's hardcore off-roaders. ...

VIDEO: Jay Leno does the electric Tango 10 days ago on Autoblog

Jay Leno likes him some electric Tango. No, not the new dance craze all the kids are talking texting about, but rather the oddly-narrow but very quick two-seater from Commuter Cars. Now, regular Autobloggreen readers have seen the Tango before, posing beside George Clooney or perhaps drag ...

VIDEO: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG crash-test video shows off exploding door hinges 10 days ago on Autoblog

It's a sad fact that incredibly expensive, highly desirable cars have to be smashed to bits in the name of safety, but we have to admit we quietly enjoy watching the carnage. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG had to endure its time with the crash barrier, and the video proves that the $200,000 supercar ...

Bugatti Bird-gate Update 2: New evidence of mystery pelican, avoidance techniques [w/VIDEO] 11 days ago on Autoblog

The case of the ill-fated Bugatti Veyron versus the invisible pelican has had the Internets buzzing for the past week. First we saw footage of the $1.6 million supercar as it was being pulled out of a Texas swamp. The story behind the dastardly crash was that a low-flying pelican caused the (at ...

VIDEO: Jeremy Clarkson drifts a Jaguar XKR Convertible... in flippers 11 days ago on Autoblog

We missed the first part of this skit, as the video you're about to watch isn't from Top Gear, but rather from JC's newest DVD Dual Duel. Still, it does feature the Stig. And some ridiculous-yet-somehow-jealousy-inducing car-antics. Apparently, Jezza bragged that the Jag is such an easy to ...

VIDEO: Montezemolo beaches Ferrari California at own World Finals in Valencia 12 days ago on Autoblog

Last week, we all watched in collective awe as a $1.8 million Bugatti Veyron drove into a pond. While the driver claimed that he was attacked by a pelican, close examination of the video would appear to reveal... no pelican whatsoever. Instead, there's just a supercar inexplicably jumping into a ...

Funny Car Commercial of the Day: Maybe consider taking the bus? 13 days ago on Autoblog

Being the type of people who obsessively cover the auto industry, we generally prefer four-wheeled travel to pedal-for-yourself bicycling. Not that riding a bike is a bad thing... quite the opposite, actually. Getting out, seeing the sights and smelling the fresh air away from the hustle and ...

VIDEO: Mechanically-inclined ninja blows our collective mind 14 days ago on Autoblog

Years and years ago, we saw punk rock legend Mike Watt break an E-string on his bass during a fIREHOSE show. Without missing a beat, he yanked a new string from beside his amp, slid it through the bridge, tied it around the tuning peg and with a single twist his bass was back in tune. The whole ...

VIDEO: Heffner Performance teases Twin Turbo Audi R8 14 days ago on Autoblog

We're starting to see this type of thing more and more. And by "type of thing" we mean dyno teasers, not twin-turbo Audis. Nonetheless, you are staring at the unclothed rump of an Audi R8 with two massive turbochargers sitting on a four-wheel dynometer. And the results are, well, calling them ...

VIDEO: McLaren releases first webisode of MP4-12C development 14 days ago on Autoblog

McLaren Automotive has just dropped a new video, the first in a series, that promises to show the story behind the company's upcoming MP4-12C supercar. This first episode gives us a peek at the car's development background, introduces us to some of the key players in the process, and even gives ...

VIDEO: Ten minutes of rally crashes devoid of butt-rock soundtrack 15 days ago on Autoblog

It's often said that the Finns are drunk and walk around carrying axes the best rally drivers in the world. There's been lots of speculation as to why. Some say it's their relative isolation -- large distances between places makes for lots of fast, back roads driving. Others speculate it's their ...

'10 Unleashed pits four Need For Speed players against their virtual lap times 15 days ago on Autoblog

We've often wondered if the countless hours we've spent playing racing games on the xBox and PlayStation have given us any advanced capabilities on an actual track. We're obviously not the only ones. Mustang's "Unleashed" campaigned pitted four life-long gamers head to head in a game of Need for ...

VIDEO: Taylor Swift on the scourge that is bad parent drivers 15 days ago on Autoblog

Allow us to make a couple admissions. It's our opinion that with the notable exception of Celebrity Jeopardy, Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny since Belushi. Before she got upstaged by an apparently off-his-meds Kanye West, we thought Taylor Swift was a dry cleaner. That said, it's ...

VIDEO: The coolest CG car vid you'll see today 16 days ago on Autoblog

We've seen plenty of car-related videos of our time, and we've posted on quite a few of them on Autoblog. The clips are usually informative, offer a sneak peak of a future product, or they're just plain funny, but one thing we've never done is showcase a reader's demo reel, until today. Why? ...

VIDEO: Low-flying pelican results in Bugatti Veyron Hydro Edition [*UPDATE: Now with actual crash footage!] 16 days ago on Autoblog

This is one of the saddest, yet most amusing sights we've ever seen. A $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron sitting in a salt water lagoon, door open, in two feet of nasty, corrosion-inducing muddy water. While the sight is sad, how the event allegedly transpired is downright hilarious. The unnamed owner ...

Arcade Fire: Sega Outrun console being turned into driveable car [w/VIDEO] 16 days ago on Autoblog

When we hear the phrase "contemporary artist" we usually say, "Just show us what you're doing because there's little chance we'll understand rationale." Garnet Hertz, the artist in question, is combining a Sega Outrun arcade console with an EVT America Electric Trike (a three-wheeled scooter), ...

Funny Car Commercial of the Day: Politically Correct Edition 16 days ago on Autoblog

Nowadays, being politically correct is of the utmost importance to companies the world over, and that includes automakers. Especially Volkswagen, apparently. Judging from the commercial pasted after the break, the German automaker – which just happens to have recently earned the title of ...

VIDEO: Drag racing Chevy C6 Corvette owner shoulda bought a ZR1 17 days ago on Autoblog

Or at least a Z06. Now, we're all for drag racing – it's one of the purest forms of sport around – much like World's Strongest Man minus all the steroids. Or is that plus nine billion times the steroids? Either way, little is more adrenaline pumping than watching a nitrous-venting ...

VIDEO: Are you the 2011 Audi A8? Or are you the 2011 Audi A6? 17 days ago on Autoblog

Well, is it? Hard to say. We do know that both a new Audi A8 and A6 are headed our way sooner rather than later. Sooner, as in the South Florida International Auto Show for one of the new Audis, and/or Geneva for the other. We're pretty sure that the car captured in the video you'll soon be ...
