McLaren’s upcoming Ferrari fighter (something they will be doing a lot of this year) has been given a good wringing out by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button at Goodwood, and surprisingly they like it. But then why would would they bite the hand that feeds them (lots of cash)? McLaren just announced the MP4-12C’s full [...]

Chuck Norris turns 70 today. Rumor has it he bought himself a Nissan GT-R for his birthday.
This is why:

Newton’s Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal to a GT-R.
Chuck Norris and Mr T. got into a GT-R and drove [...]

OK, so this isn’t the first Subaru/VW mash up we’ve seen. I recollect a particularly tasty Pleiades-powered 914 that made the rounds in the metal rags not too long ago, but that car pales in execution to this wee beastie. It’s a Beetle with the heart of a WRX STI built to run on 86 [...]

It’s been way too long since we featured a little open-wheel glory here on Autofiends. To rectify that situation, I give you the Caterham CSR 175. Designed to be the most accessible – and sane – of the company’s CSR line, there’s a 175 horsepower, 2.3-liter Duratec four-cylinder. What, you aren’t bowled over by the [...]

Well, fiends, it’s finally here. Lexus yanked the sheets off of its much spy-shot LFA for the first time in Tokyo and it’s better than we could have imagined. First, there’s a 4.8-liter V10 with 552 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque that revs to a cloud-licking 9,000 rpm. Just sit for a second and [...]

As an individual born and bred in the South, the term “redneck” is more than a little offensive. It implies the legions of hardworking, clever individuals in this neck of the woods are ignorant, mouth-breathing yokels with nothing better to do than shoot at road signs. So when I say the jackass in the video [...]

Remember awhile back when we showed you all the vintage metal from Stuttgart parading around for a new commercial? Well, it looks like the spot has landed. In it, Porsche officially welcomes the four-door Panamera to the clan. With 917’s 356’s and plenty of 911’s on hand to show the newest addition the ropes, there’s [...]

Roll back the clock to the early sixties and the world was embroiled in a genuine car rivalry. Well, maybe “world” and “embroiled” are a little extreme, but good old boy Carol Shelby and his band of hoons were growing increasingly problematic for Enzo Ferrari. Yes, that Enzo Ferrari. As in, the man, the myth [...]

I do love the interwebs, especially when they serve up tasty rumors like this one. Supposedly Subaru is meditating on the notion of bringing the SVX back to the streets. You remember the SVX, right? The car that barely sold, lacked the performance backbone to tackle the competition and had some of the strangest windows [...]
