The Aston Martin Virage and drop top Volante are powered by a 490 hp 6.0 L V-12 with 420 lb/ft of torque; they also boast an Adaptive Damping System and Carbon Ceramic Matrix brakes.

Ah, one of life’s great questions… What would happen if you put a jet turbine engine from a helicopter into a Mini Cooper. Uh. This. More footage of this good little car gone bad here.

A man shares his love for his beat up 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. We’re not old car junkies, but seeing him share his passion reminded us of things that we do care about – the old Fords in our lives.

A collection of videographer Justin Shreeve’s footage from every Formula Drift competition he covered last year, plus some bonus behind the scenes. You can buy his racing videos here.

(Lyrics NSFW) Shot by Marcin Bielawski for Poland’s Mustang Club, this short film pays tribute to the world’s original pony car, with five minutes of beautiful car porn. Camaro fans, look away.

Think of it as the world’s smallest Segway – the self-balancing Solowheel can propel a rider up to 12mph, for up to an hour on a charge. It weighs just 20 pounds and can be carried anywhere.

Goofball Rémi Gaillard returns to amuse onlookers and terrorize drivers in the second installment of Remi Kart. Watch as he evades cops, wastes bananas and goes on a pit fruit stop.

The latest BMW concept car, the ConnectedDrive melds sweeping, organic form with TRON-like tech. We love the open-air design, although you could never drive it when it rains. More pics here.

It’s a bicycle that weighs 73 lbs. If you ask us, it looks like it weighs more. But thanks to its electric motor, it can propel you to 48mph. It’s fitted with Brembo brakes to help you stop The Beast.

It may not transform, but the Camaro ZL1 is still a hell of a ride. It’s got a 550hp supercharged 6.2L V8 engine, 6-speed manual transmission, Brembo brakes, aluminum hood and better handling.
