Russia

No, a Ford Expedition did not drive from Russia to Canada via the North Pole, but that's exactly what a team of intrepid explorers accomplished recently. Using specially-modified buses with massive tires, the group slowly drove 4,000 kilometres (2,485 miles) in 70 days over drifting ice, ...

After the Good-Samaritan-fest that was the last Russian dash cam video, it's back to our regularly scheduled program of sneaky scamming and automotive madness. This time, it's a woman who attempts to pretend she's been hit by a car and rendered unconscious, the same tired con-job that happens to ...

The camera has no favourites, takes no sides - it captures whatever's in front of it, good or ill. We're used to seeing the ill side of Russian streets through the lenses of ubiquitous dash cams, but there's plenty of good to go with it if a video from YouTube user ArkadiYM93 is any ...

Let's get this out of the way right off the bat: We don't know if the video you're about to watch really took place in the wild or if it were staged. That said, this appears to be one of the most alarming bits of road rage we've ever seen captured on video. Let's set the scene. A motorcyclist is ...

The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will ...

Cameras in Russia seem to capture everything from fiery meteors to crazy crashes. The latest video comes from a camera mounted high above the main square in Smolensk, overlooking a busy parking lot on what appears to be a nice sunny day. It takes but seconds for a small cloud of steam, appearing ...

We love watching unstoppable wheelman Ken Block hoon his way around town in his popular stunt videos, but it was just a matter of time until "Mr. Hoonigan" himself unleashed his rally racing skills (along with a few hundred GoPro HD HERO2 cameras) in the world's capital of crazy car videos... ...

When a pair of Russian pilots wanted to set a local ice-speed record, they chose a stock Nissan GT-R for the task. Roman Rusinov, a Russian race car driver, and Andrey Leontjev, a Russian auto journalist, took Godzilla to Lake Baikal and ran it up to 294.8 kilometres per hour (182.8 miles per ...

Some things should be left up to trained professionals, such as stunt driving and attempting to drift a the crappy Lada Samara, which is of course a lame front wheel drive hatchback. The wannabe drift session goes terribly wrong after the half-witted wheel-man ends up crashing head-on into a ...

We're not sure how widespread the practice is, but the option is apparently out there: Russian police have discovered companies on the Internet offering rides in "ambulance-taxis" through notoriously bad Moscow traffic. For roughly 6,000 rubles per hour – about $196, which doesn't sound ...
