Craig Breedlove, legendary land-speed racer and the first person to break the 600-mile-per-hour mark in a car, has died at the age of 86, according to the Southern California Timing Association.

The automotive industry is in a real transitional period at the moment. More and more all-electric vehicles are coming to market, and some people are eager to make the swap. However, even if they want to, not everyone is ready to make that switch just yet, and there are some valid reasons why. Toyota is here to bridge…

Electric vehicles continue to get more popular in the U.S., but they still only make up a small percentage of overall new vehicle sales. Other countries, however, are seeing huge growth in the sale of electric vehicles. But they aren’t actually electric cars. Many of them are rickshaws, the bicycle and…

There is no perfect energy source, nothing that will power our vehicles without some kind of catch. Consider hydrogen. For decades it’s been propped up as a worthy alternative to oil, even if infrastructure-related hiccups seem to always hold it back from reaching its full potential. Nevertheless, there seems to be a …

Distracted driving is dangerous. From using in-car technology like your big-screen infotainment systems, to the worst offender of using a cell phone while driving, everything could be a gamble for your own or someone else’s life.

Gordon Murray Automotive officially revealed the T.33 Spider this week, an open-roof version of the T.33 coupe that we first saw a little more than a year ago. Like the coupe, it has a 607-hp naturally aspirated V12 that can rev to 11,100 rpm and sends the power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual. Gordon Murray…

There are some signs of hope that this bonkers used car market is slowly improving in the interest of buyers. While some segments are presenting some strong values, other areas are maintaining some serious premiums. To help buyers navigate the still complicated times of purchasing a car, iSeeCars released a study…

Just a few months back, rail workers across the country nearly ground the economy to a halt — rightly so — over things like worker safety, work/life balance and most importantly, sick leave. While some union rail workers have since been given a handful of sick days, many are still without, and most are still unable to…

Normally I can’t be bothered to care about slot car racing. I mean, being a huge nerd myself, I get the appeal but A: I suck at it, and B: I can drive actual cars, so it’s just not something I’m into, or at least it wasn’t before I saw this wild-ass slot car track that just sold on Bring A Trailer for $205,000.

Race tracks, unlike American football pitches, don’t have to conform to the same rules and regulations that ensure uniformity across the sport. This means that where one football field plays pretty much the same as another, no two race tracks are alike.

Crossovers get a lot of hate from car enthusiasts. We tend to blame them for the great sedan and wagon purge from the U.S. auto market — despite our obsession in America with big trucks and SUVs. This fixation predates the crossover craze brought on by models like the Lexus RX 300 and Pontiac Aztek, which we now…

Kia officially rolled out its three-row 2024 Kia EV9 at the 2023 New York Auto Show on Wednesday, and we learned a little more about this big beast of an electric SUV.

When I drove the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek last month, I found it to be capable of getting you over the river and through the woods, if not overly enthusiastic about the task. But it seems that capability wasn’t enough for Subaru’s standards — the company wanted even more adventure from its smallest crossover. Now, we’re…

During the Super Bowl this year, Ram revealed the production version of its upcoming electric pickup truck, the 2025 Ram 1500 REV. But while the commercial did show off the truck’s design, it spent a lot of time making jokes about “premature electrification” instead of telling us about the truck’s specs. Now, Ram is…

Chevrolet is once again vowing to kill its Camaro. That’s ok though since today’s Nice Price or No Dice ‘98 proves there’s plenty of life left in older editions. Let’s find out if this modded SS’s price makes it a killer deal.

The New York International Auto Show kicks off in the Big Apple this week, bringing automakers from around the world together to show off their latest and greatest creations.

Who doesn’t like a modified car? From drift missiles to salt-flat speedsters, the world of custom cars is as diverse as its members, those willing to hack their cars up to fit a non-factory need. Earlier this week, we asked you what your favorite styles of car modification are. Today, we’re taking a look through your…

E-bikes are a solid choice for personal mobility, particularly in cities where traveling by car is frustratingly slow. They’re also expensive. Naturally, some Democrats in Congress recently proposed an e-bike subsidy that would slash 30 percent, up to $1,500, off the cost of any e-bike for taxpayers making less than…

Yesterday, a jury in San Francisco ordered Tesla to pay just under $3.2 million to a former factory worker who alleged that the automaker ignored the racist treatment he received during his time working there as a contractor.
