– We learned two things watching Tag Heuer’s awesome video of current McLaren F1 drivers Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso wheel a modern F1 car and the MP4/4 racer driven by legendary pilot Ayrton Senna. The first is that substituting the word “timepiece” for “watch” in a bid to create a clever headline doesn’t work—as in, Timepiece Old and New F1 Cars Meeting!—and the second is that Tag Heuer knows how to quicken our
-Tesla made history with the introduction of its Model S sports sedan two-plus years ago, prompting approbation from car critics far and wide. This was the breakthrough electric car the world had seemingly been waiting for, offering attractive design, a remarkable interior, and entertaining performance. The price—starting in the mid-$60,000 range after the $7500 federal kickback—was far beyond the average household’s reach, and range anxiety will always be a concern

– If you’ve been waiting for the world’s most exotic, insane, and expensive BMW E30 M3, look no further. It’s on eBay right now—and it will only cost you about as much as a Ferrari 458. – First things first, though: Can we even call this an E30 M3?

– A former timber plantation in a sleepy southern town will be put back to work building new Volvos. In the first Swedish-Chinese-South Carolinian collaboration of its kind, Volvo is scheduled to break ground on a $500-million factory this fall. – Since late March, when Volvo announced it would construct an American plant with capacity for 100,000 cars a year—nearly double what it sold here in 2014—the automaker turned down a proposal
– Like a friend who keeps inadvertently blowing up your phone with Facebook invitations to play Candy Jam or Cookie Crush Saga or whatever, we’ve been able to set our clocks to Chevrolet’s slow stream of 2016 Camaro information. Every few days, like a notification from Friend to Unfriend Immediately, Chevy has slipped out some new tidbit or detail about its yet-to-be-revealed sixth-generation pony car. The latest? A look at the car’s
-Here at the fifth annual Real Hoopties of New Jersey race, held at lovely New Jersey Motorsports Park, we inspected the cars on Friday and they put in a long, parts-shattering day of racing on Saturday. Here’s how the first couple of days went. – -The inspections were livened up by the US Air Force Thunderbirds, whose pilots did plenty of stuntin’ over the race track and made the supercharged
– What It Is: To say the last Mini Clubman was a compelling oddball would be an understatement. It was half hatchback, half station wagon and almost entirely strange, with a five-door layout that included rear barn doors and a rear-hinged suicide door on one side only. It was too small to ever be taken seriously as a load-lugger—despite Mini trying, and failing, to make a case—but it certainly had
