See the Lotus Esprit Time Travel from 1976 to 2004

I consider the Porsche 911 the most prime example of automotive evolution. Perhaps we can award second place to the Lotus Esprit. If you thought it was addictive to watch a row of 911s in sitting in successive-model-year formation, just take a look at the video below. I’m betting you’ll want to watch it twice. [...]

Also, they find VW-owned Bentleys and Rolls-Royces to be too garish for their sophisticated tastes. But since Mercedes-Benz retired their […]

Ford 6.2-Liter Tow-off: Raptor vs F-250

This week’s Tire Shredding Tuesday takes a look at a brand spankin’ new 2013 SRT Viper taking part in a “burnout show”. According to the information provided, this burnout show is held by a local Chrysler Group dealership and the Viper in action is a new stock vehicle (which I sincerely hope wasn’t sold as ...
