When people are caught, sometimes they’ll come up with the dumbest excuses to try getting out of trouble. That’s the case here, but police didn’t fall for the unconvincing act of a teenage car thief. According to the UK’s Greater Manchester Police, officers were on patrol in the Levenshulme area when they noticed a Kia

Sometimes pets can cause a mess with their traits, but unconditional love usually makes their owners forgive them. As a new video from the United Arab Emirates suggests, this is the case with a bear who while trying to eat a delicious apple, accidentally ripped the door off a bright orange Lamborghini Huracan Performante. The

Do you ever look at some of today’s unimaginative supercar startups, companies that think they’re really pushing boundaries but are actually barely touching them, and wish they would go a little crazy, put their venture capital money where their mouth is, and makes something really outrageous? And I’m not talking about turning the same old

With the exception of the potent GR Yaris, the regular Yaris isn’t particularly striking. In fact, like most hatches, it slides under the radar. Not this one, though. These images of this modified Yaris were recently shared to Reddit after the hatch was spotted in a parking lot somewhere in California. The owner has made

France’s Tom Pagès has become the first person on earth to BASE jump a motorcycle off a 135m (443-foot) cliff. To make the stunt work, both he and his motorcycle needed a parachute.

Toyota made what you’d call a last minute change to its GR 86 coupe that’s so small you’d hardly notice it at all. Which is kind of ironic, because the whole point of it is to make the little boxer coupe even more visible, online at least. The 2022 sports car brought a load of

A bizarre Mercedes-Benz SLK, modified to somewhat resemble a Lamborghini, has started to gain traction online after hitting the used car market in Vietnam.

The basement display area a floor below the OEM circus at the L.A. Auto Show is always home to some weird and wild tuner creations. But we doubt even the lifted trucks and modified Rolls Royces hiding down in the dungeon come close to this life-size Barbie car when it comes to imagination. What appears to

In their pursuit of endless possibilities, luxury automakers have to offer countless colors and options, most of which can be accessed through the configurator.
