Owning a supercar has its perks but it also has its downsides, among the biggest of which is the lack of practicality. Put simply, supercars will carry a suitcase or two or the proverbial set of golf clubs, but that’s (mostly) as good as it gets. However, where there’s a will, there’s a way. This

The owner of a BMW 5-Series in the UK clearly has quite the fascination with gold accents and has transformed the look of the German sedan with a number of aftermarket accessories. Found at the front of the 5-Series is a gold splitter that features two small steel tubes attaching it to the front bumper.

It’s not very often that you’ll see a vehicle like a Rolls-Royce Wraith being sold by a Hyundai dealership but that’s exactly what recently happened in Long Island, New York.

Three mid-engined Ferraris were wrecked following a crash during the annual Supercar Show hosted by CF Charities in Philadelphia last Sunday. The event saw hundreds of performance cars make a handful of stops across the city and at one stage, police blocked off part of a highway. Enticed by an open slab of pavement, the

Hong Kong is one of most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world and, thus, car drivers have a hard time finding a parking spot. Recently, though, a parking space in The Mount Nicholson development, where some of Asia’s most valuable homes are located, sold for a record HK$10 million ($1.3 million USD). The spot

Dramatic footage has emerged out of China showing the moment an electric bus caught fire, triggering a blaze that spread to four other buses. The incident took place on a university campus in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and was caught on security camera. Initially, all seems fine but after just a few seconds,

Patience is a virtue and evidently, the two drivers featured in this clip could do with some of it while behind the wheel. This dashcam video was recently shared to Reddit and filmed on a U.S. highway on May 29, 2021. It initially starts off by showing a white BMW 7-Series and a silver Toyota

As part of a recent campaign called Reflections of Passion, Porsche Middle East and Africa turned the Panamera over to photographer and artist Baber Afzal and gave him a creative blank cheque to do whatever he wanted with the car as long as beautiful pictures came out the other side. Afzal returned with these shots

The driver of a BMW i8 has been arrested and convicted on drug-related charges after leading police on a high-speed chase in the UK.

A few years ago, there was a bizarre internet trend of supercar owners attempting to cook pieces of meat with the flaming exhausts of their cars. Evidently, some are still doing this and one such stunt recently almost ended in disaster. It is understood that this video was filmed in Changsha, the capital of China’s

This conceptually frustrating wind-powered vehicle claims to move downwind faster than the thing powering it. It’s a concept so counterintuitive that many of the people who have seen its creators’ demonstrations on the subject accuse them of quixotically searching for perpetual motion. But, as the North American Land Sailing Association put it in 2012 when

A Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray that was split in half in a crash is being parted out, perfect if you’re a C8 owner looking for some spare parts or if you want to use the C8’s engine for your project car. A post shared to Facebook by AZ Cycle Parts LLC shows a Zeus Bronze

Last week, Rolls-Royce unveiled the Boat Tail, a $28 million coachbuilt convertible with an extravagant hosting suite in the trunk limited to three units. They never mentioned the names of any of the three commissioners, but news outlets such as The Telegraph have reason to believe the couple behind the inaugural example is none other

Construction crews have been working hard to renovate Detroit’s Michigan Central Station in order to turn it into Ford’s technology headquarters. The building, finished in 1913, has proven to be a trove of small, historical treasures, though. The latest such historical knick-knack is a pre-prohibition era Stroh’s beer bottle stuffed with a letter. Unfortunately, although

Back in the 1930s, it was quite common for luxury cars like Duesenbergs to have spare wheels in their front quarter panels. Evidently, the owner of this Chrysler 300 has taken some inspiration from these cars. This bizarre 300 was recently spotted in a Walmart parking lot and images of it were predictably shared to

Adding to the recent uptick in catalytic converter thefts, a group of thieves in Sacramento, California attempted to take off with an entire neighborhood’s worth in broad daylight. The incident occurred at around 5 AM on Saturday morning, and the commotion they were making was what led the filming witness outside to begin with. Another

Convertibles are most often associated with warm climate driving, but Lexus had a very cool idea (literally) to prove the 2021 LC 500 Convertible’s durability by placing it in an industrial-scale freezer at the Large Climatic Chamber at the Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, UK. The Japanese brand’s flagship model had its roof folded down

The new Hyundai Ioniq 5’s ability to charge at up to 350 kW is one of its coolest, and most useful features. Find a quick enough charger to make use of that max charging rate and you can add 68 miles of driving in five minutes, or fill the battery from 10-80 per cent in

A police officer decided to express his frustration towards the police chief of the department he serves by ramming his pickup truck into his boss’s personal car.

A bizarre rollover crash was caught on camera over the weekend. While details are limited, the video appears to show a Toyota Highlander illegally parked in the right lane. There’s no word on why the crossover was left there, but it could be that all the parking spaces were full. Regardless, the crossover proved to

The BMW X5 may not win design awards but it’s not bad-looking either. However, the owner of this example obviously thought they could enhance its looks with some modifications. The results are shocking, to say the least. This image was recently shared to Reddit and while we don’t know where it was snapped, we can

Pope Francis’ new whip will be an all-electric Fisker Ocean converted for papal use. The pope famed for his humble cars will use the EV to send an environmental message. The decision was reached on a recent visit to the Vatican where Fisker’s co-founders, Henrik Fisker and Dr. Geeta Gupta-Fisker, had a private audience with

Buckle up, because we’re going places in this story. Rolls-Royce announced that it has appointed eight-year-old Poppy Liddle of Selsey, U.K. as its first-ever Junior Beekeeper. That all sounds very twee and sweet, but it turns out that Liddle isn’t some executive’s daughter. She was chosen because Rolls-Royce was moved by the sad story of

Electric vehicles are making inroads in the city, but a lot of people in rural areas might not be as convinced. In order to persuade them, Ford is lending to all 380 residents of Fordwich, Britain’s smallest town, a Mustang Mach-E. Research conducted by OnePoll that was published in March showed that 82% of people

We like the Ford Mustang. We really do. Sales figures prove that heaps of other people also love the Mustang but unfortunately, many lack the necessary skills to drive it.

There’s a 11’8” bridge in Durham, North Carolina that has a cult following across social media because of how many trucks have smashed into it over the years. Now, the name of the bridge may be a little confusing. While it used to be 11’8”, the North Carolina Railroad Company actually raised it by 8

Last time I reached a career milestone, I bought myself a pretty decent sandwich. Paulo Dybala, who kicks a ball real good, just bought himself a Lamborghini Aventador. To be fair, the Juventus striker was celebrating his 100th goal for the legendary Italian team after his 251st appearance for it. So he is legitimately very

Just imagine the scenario: you’re driving down the highway when all of a sudden, you notice a semi-truck traveling in the opposite direction veer out of its lane and start to cross into the grass median, heading right towards you. Before long, that truck has sped through the median and is now just a split

What you’re looking at can’t really be considered a car anymore as it is nothing more than a burnt-out pile of scrap but believe it or not, it used to be a McLaren GT. This McLaren is listed up for sale from Copart and is located in Houston East, Texas. Not a single part of

The ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline temporarily shut off 45 percent of the East Coast’s fuel supply and that predictably started a run on gasoline. While authorities repeatedly told drivers not to hoard gasoline, many people ignored their pleas and started filling up every container they had – even plastic bags. It was only a
