0Video: Audi RS6 ABT destroys Kawasaki ZX-10R in German autobahn shootout 1359495000
While this may not be the first (or last) time we see a "What's Faster" battle take place between a powerful car and super-quick motorcycle, this video proves some cars do stand a chance against these lighter and often quicker sport bikes.

First Drive: 2013 BMW 328i Touring Sport 1354737420
We get giddy like school boys when we have to commute anywhere in Germany. Why? Well, on the Autobahn, we get to go all out and know that the drivers around us understand the protocol of proper traffic flow. No one lingers in the left lane, trucks are all stacked up in the right and if you're ...

Video: Nissan GT-R boss discusses changes for 2014 at semi-annual meeting 1352396700

Report: Texas "Autobahn" toll road to get 85 mph (137 km/h) speed limit? 1339101000
Oh, Montana, how we miss your speed-limitless ways of the mid-1990s. We were carefree and young then, driving a 10-year-old Chevrolet that in no way, shape, or form was designed to travel at its top speed for hours on end.

Study: Car mods that make hypermiling sense 1336671000
Most cars on the road today are designed with aerodynamics in mind, allowing each to scythe through the air like a dart while creating as little turbulence as possible - to a point, anyway - while also boasting sleek profiles, nice lines and a visceral aura of "let's roll." But put aerodynamics ...

A minor two-car accident on a German autobahn turned into a 52-car pileup with three deaths and two dozen injuries on Friday night.

This is what 300 km/h in a 2012 BMW M5 looks like 1316988180
By all accounts, the 2012 BMW M5 is nothing short of a mechanical miracle. With two fewer cylinders than the previous generation, the big bruiser manages to retain the acceleration and handling prowess that M buyers have come to expect. But where exactly can you use the full breadth of the ...

In its current form, the 325-horsepower Opel Insignia OPC (you know, the car that the upcoming 255-hp Buick Regal GS was supposed to but sadly won't replicate) will carry speeds of up to 250 kilometres per hour before its electronic nannies kick in and prevent your speedometer's needle to climb ...
