Yesterday’s news that the Lexus LF-A will boast GT-R besting stats is cool as hell, but the video after the jump popped up in the late afternoon to temper the excitement. In it, you see one of the competition-spec LF-As in the last two hours of the 24 Hours of Nurburgring come to a stop [...]

The Fiends at WorldCarFans have laid their mitts on some pretty sweet footage of Bentley’s newest edition of the Continental on the Nurburgring. Think Bentley’s are more comfortable cruising the streets of Monaco than tearing up the carousel? Think again. The SuperSports knocks out a knee-wobbling 621 horsepower from a boosted 6.0-liter W12. Even with [...]
Ah, the on-again/off-again LF-A is back to enter this year’s 24 Hours of Nurburgring, and Toyota’s unleashed a few photos of the racer to celebrate. Is the car headed to production? Who the hell knows. Last year, the LF-A (or is that LFA?) managed to come in at 121/223, so we’re guessing the race team [...]
Got ten minutes to kill? Sure you do. The fiends over at Speedhunters have sourced up a great clip of a GT3 Dodge Viper and a GT3 Porsche 997 going at it on the world-famous Nurburgring. With plenty of lap traffic from lower race classes and the challenge of Green Hell itself, it’s ten minutes [...]
And not just for testing. Subaru’s performance arm is set to take on the 24 Hours of Nurburgring next month in a specially-prepared Impreza WRX. The car rocks a mostly stock motor, though a number of chassis-stiffening components have been added to help the car cope with a full day’s worth of abuse. STI will [...]
It’s Friday, Fiends, and to be honest, I don’t know anyone who couldn’t use a little track time right now. How abouts nearly one full lap of Nurburgring chasing the ever-sexy hips of the Audi R8 to wet your whistle? The video after the jump is big on techno beats and not on the kind [...]
Again. That’s right, the on again off again Lexus LF-A prototype will compete in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring again this year. According to Lexus, the car is strikingly close to the production version with only minimal changes made to make it fit for competition. That is, if the car ever sees production. Under the [...]
Nissan’s hell bent on besting the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 at Nurburgring, and to prove it the company took the newest-generation car to Green Hell for a few hot laps. How’d it do? The Series II GT-R popped off a blistering 7m 27s time for the full 12.9 mile circuit. That’s a full 27 seconds quicker [...]
I. The 2010 Camaro SS laid down and 8m 19s lap of the Nurburgring recently. For a big honkin’ piece of American iron, you can’t really say fairer than that. Until you look at the timesheets of other swift GMs and realize that the Cobalt SS, a smaller, less powerful hunk of American iron did [...]
If all the doom and gloom has taken your favorite sports car out at the knees, take heart. Audi has taken a different tack when it comes to the future of the beloved S4 and S5. According to Audi Engineering Director Michael Dick, the next generation cars will be powered by turbo fours instead of [...]
