• Five Awesome Vehicles from Barrett-Jackson's 2017 West Palm Beach Auction

  24-04-2017 22:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  The Barrett-Jackson auction recently went down in West Palm Beach, Florida, and while the auction of the first-ever 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE was my main focus, there were plenty of other vehicles that fought for my attention. For two days I walked the 100 acres of the South Florida Fair Grounds looking at iron from every decade in motoring history. There were old Rolls Royces, Mercedes, and even a few Ferraris. Just feet away were iconic American muscle cars with hot-cammed V-8 thumping out

• All Fours: From Track to Mountain Peak at Ford’s Focus RS and Raptor Driving Schools

  24-04-2017 21:54
  -At their cores, Ford’s Focus RS hatchback and F-150 Raptor super pickup are tools—tools designed to perform at the highest levels on- and off-road, respectively. Unlike the far more common vehicles from which they’re spawned, they’re capable of being pushed to limits most drivers aren’t necessarily equipped to reach. Of course, capability is pointless if the wielder of said tool doesn’t know how to exploit it. Enter Ford Performance Racing School, w

• Pretty Sick: We Ride in the 2017 Ford GT!

  24-04-2017 20:42
  
  -Lap after lap, Scott Maxwell gnaws deeper into the curbing. By drawing a straighter line through a shallow chicane on the road course that lies in the shadow of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Canadian pro driver with class wins at Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans is searching for—and finding—more speed. What started as a nibble is now a chomp as he rides to the top of the red-and-white candy cane on his fourth lap. The 2017 Ford GT he’s piloting, the car in which I’m riding

• 2017 Honda Civic Type R Sets FWD Nurburgring Lap Record [Video]

  24-04-2017 18:37
  
  -Like the tech industry’s lightning-fast progression, the auto industry’s titles for Best, Fastest, or Quickest car are prestigious but often fleeting. Just ask the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S; its record as the fastest front-wheel-drive production car to lap the Nürburgring has just been crushed by the 2017 Honda Civic Type R, only months after it was set last October.-The Japanese automaker claims that the all-new Type R lapped the 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschle

• 2017 Porsche Boxster 718 Manual Tested: The Slowest 718 Is Still Crazy Quick

  24-04-2017 18:34
  
  -When Porsche revised its roadster line last year, rechristening it the 718 Boxster, restyling it slightly, and swapping in turbocharged 2.0- and 2.5-liter flat-four-cylinder engines for its beloved 2.7- and 3.4-liter flat-sixes in standard and S models, respectively, we knew we would have to test every powertrain permutation of each to see exactly how the changes would affect their characters and capabilities. (It’s a tough job, we know.) Well, after this test of a Guards Red 2017 718 Box

  Lotus has been pumping out successively quicker iterations of the Exige for several years now, including the Sport 350 unveiled in 2015, and the Sport 380 that dropped early last year.

  Some automakers are synonyms with specific characteristics. Ferrari and Lamborghini are synonymous with Italian power and performance. Rolls-Royce and Bentley are quintessential marquees known for their opulence and luxury. Then there’s Jeep, which is known for its ruggedness and off-road capabilities. It figures then that when news first broke in 2015 that Jeep was going hybrid with some of its models, it was, to say the least, jarring to the senses. Fast forward to the 2017 Shanghai Auto
