The UGLIEST F1 cars of all time?

F1 has been hammered over the last several years for its ugly car designs like this unfortunate Ferrari F2012. This year has seen some improvement with the return of wider cars and bigger tires… …but its worth remembering that it has been much, MUCH worse over the years. Check out the video below to see […]

Hot Wheels Stunt Action

And after watching this video of POV action (via a custom Hot-Wheel’d GoPro), you’re gonna want to bust open a few of the blister cards on some HW Race Team cars, lay down some track and try some of these stunts yourself. Hat-tip to Gizmodo for link to the clip.

The Ultimate DIY Ferrari

Lots of us love classic Ferraris. Some of us are practically obsessed. And then there is Peter Giacobbi.

Chip Foose’s “Impostor” ’65 Impala/C6 Corvette hybrid won the Ridler Award for Best Hot Rod at this year’s Detroit Autorama show a couple weeks ago.

Fooled You: James Bond’s BMW Z8 Was a 1/5 Scale RC Miniature

Our buddies over at our sister publication RC Car Action sent this over. As it involves a highly detailed scale replica it definitely piqued our interest! It’s usually pretty easy to spot a special effects car shot; anytime the action is totally bonkers, it’s a fair bet you’re looking at a CGI car. Less obvious […]
