Cute little city car will monster a Hellcat in a straight line. You’ll have to ask Mark Cryer why someone would do this to a Smart car, but after watching the video you’ll be glad he did. Dubbed the “Nu Big Thing,” the Smart comes powered by a 9.0-liter Big-Block Chevy engine rated at 725 horsepower. The phenomenal little car has held the title of world’s fastest smart car for a while now, and with new larger and wider tires to help reduce wheelstanding, the Smart was able to put down its...

"Next year, Ferrari's ass is mine." - Carroll Shelby It was Ford’s third attempt with its GT40 that finally brought Le Mans glory. 1966 was the year in which Ford’s Le Mans racing team, under the command of none other than Carroll Shelby, ultimately defeated Ferrari after two previous years of trying. It was an effort on an epic scale that Henry Ford II demanded to see happen. Aside from Shelby and his team of drivers that included Bruce McLaren and Ken Miles, the other hero of the day was...

May 21st and 24th, 2015 at La Marina Joseph Khoury- Dbayeh   It is a universal truth that the best way to understand a man is to think like a man. Men have their own mindset, needs, interests, aspirations, not to mention dreams. In a nutshell, men have their own world. Stemming from that belief, FEW, a newcomer in the event management arena, decided to dedicate an entire exhibition for men. Whether they are seeking simple apparel or aiming for a tad of sophistication, men can find it all...

Snow often comes to mind when first thinking of Norway. Yes, it does snow a lot there, but Norway, along with all of Scandinavia, is also one of the most desirable countries in the world to live. But what really got our attention is the breathtakingly beautiful vast network of underground tunnels. There are more than 900 of them, 33 of which are underwater, and exceed a road length of some 466 miles (750 km). If you’re not heading to Norway anytime soon, check out these tunnels here.

  Hyundai has set a new Guinness World Record for “largest tire track image” in their latest “A Message to Space” campaign. The South Korean company used 11 Genesis sedans to draw an image big enough to be seen from space; the image was a message from an astronauts’s daughter to her father who spends most of his time away from home, in the International Space Station.   The message, which was written on the Delamar Dry Lake in Nevada, covered 5.5 square kilometers – making it more than...

Normally we don’t dabble in trikes, but the Rivet is no ordinary three-wheeler. For one, it’s got 500 horsepower and a look straight out of a comic book about the apocalypse. Oh, and it was co-designed by William Shatner. That’s right, Captain Kirk and the Priceline Negotiator helped design this insane bike. American Wrench, a custom motorcycle company based in Aurora, Illinois, will be the shop that brings this thing to life. Who knew Shatner was a gearhead? According to Shatner, the...

A study conducted by the students of University of Michigan says autonomous vehicles will increase the risks of motion sickness. More than 3,200 adults in United States, Japan, China, India, Australia and UK were asked by Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle of the U-M Transportation Research Institute what they would do inside a fully autonomous car. More than a third of Americans said they would likely read, text, watch a movie/TV, work or play video games. More than 50% of Indians, 40% of...

  It's jacked-up for a reason! It may have the familiar 327 cu. in. V8 engine and four-speed transmission from any 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. But this one has one very distinct feature unlike any other: it sits on top of a demonstration stand. The reason was for GM marketing purposes to show off the then new C2 Corvette on the auto show circuit, such as Motorama. However, this Corvette actually began life as a road-ready, early production example painted Le Mans Blue with a white...

A 2014 Ford Fusion was damaged following an impact with a small airplane which was making an emergency landing on a highway. It happened towards the end of last month in northwest Minnesota when 57-year-old David Gowan flying a 1979 Mooney M20K airplane at a 1,000 ft. altitude noticed the engine stopped working so he had no other way but to do an emergency landing on a highway. He turned the airplane around and detected an almost clear path on the highway so he started the landing...

The big question after Malaysia is: has Ferrari really caught Mercedes?   After Sebastian Vettel's breakthrough win in red on Sunday, Mercedes figures admitted to being surprised their dominance of Melbourne has been so quickly reined in.   Team boss Toto Wolff described it as a "wake-up call".   "I don't think it was a wake-up call," championship leader Lewis Hamilton insists. "But I think everyone can always do with, not a kick, more like a pinch."   Some think Malaysia was just a...
