Nissan GT-R sets new Nurburgring lap record

Fisker Karma does 62mpg. Or 24mpg. Officially.

'Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish': A tribute to Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

The recent passing of Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple, has found us mourning the loss of a visionary who brought not only technology and functionality to the product design industry, but also transcended the boundary into automotive design.
