| Poll: Which Chevrolet Concept Coupe Would You Like to be Built? Posted: 21 Jan 2012 03:06 PM PST  The 2012 Detroit Motor Show is more or less consigned to the dustbin of history, but that doesn't mean we'll stop talking about the vehicles that made their world premiere at the Cobo Center and especially the concept models.
Truth to be said, high-end sports cars such as the Acura NSX and Lexus LF-LC studies are the ones we'd really like to drive in the not so distant future, but for most of us, it's models like the two Chevrolet coupe concepts that correspond to mainstream reality.

| Chechnya Wedding Car Parades are a True Death Race Posted: 21 Jan 2012 01:27 PM PST  Horn and blinkers? Fudge that, automatic weapons can be much more convincing and when the vehicle in front of you doesn't slow down to let you pass by just give it a slight nudge and it will work out for the guy with the largest automobile. Welcome to what is claimed to be a Chechnya wedding tradition where drivers are supposed to get behind the car that transports the evidently, very brave bride, for good luck. We could have sworn that we saw Jason Statham popping his head out the window at some point… Get to know Chechnya's wedding traditions a little bit better in the videos after the break. Read more »

| Biker Takes an Extremely Wild Ride on Top of the World Posted: 21 Jan 2012 12:03 PM PST  There's nothing quite like the allure of riding a bike, but as we all know, it is not without its risks even on a paved road, which makes this motorcyclist's attempt to conquer a mountaintop astonishing, to say the least. We don't know where the ride took place or who had the kahunas to do it, but we'll just say that even watching the biker makes you feel some vertigo… You can check it out for yourself in the video that follows after the break.

| Students Design an All-Electric Lincoln Continental for 2025 Posted: 21 Jan 2012 10:43 AM PST  At the 2012 Detroit Auto Show that comes to an end on Sunday, January 22, Lincoln put on display the MKZ Concept to preview both the looks of its soon to be launched mid-size sedan as well the brand's new styling direction. But FoMoCo isn't the only one to present a design concept for a future Lincoln as the Lawrence Tech University had its own proposal in the form of a quarter-scale model for a pure-electric Continental for 2025.
It all started in the summer of 2011 when Bonathan and Cha came up with plans for a Lincoln concept as part of their undergraduate degree program in transportation design. The university said that Ford officials liked the concept so much that they commissioned the quarter-scale model for display at the Detroit event. Read more »

| New Jersey's Nissan Drifters are Bad to the Bone Posted: 21 Jan 2012 08:59 AM PST  When a bunch of drift-loving drivers in Nissan 240SX sports coupes show up at the Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, with a crew of cameramen it can only mean one thing and no, it has nothing to do with the inhabitants of Jersey Shore. These fellas are the Bloodmasters, as they call themselves, and they've come together to create a pretty nifty drift video, the first part of which was released this week. Buckle up and slide over the jump to enjoy a little over five minutes of punk-rocking drift shenanigans. Read more »

| New 2013 Porsche Cayman Coupe Digitally Imagined Posted: 21 Jan 2012 07:59 AM PST  The official presentation of all-new Porsche Boxster roadster earlier this month afforded us a pretty good idea of what it's coupe sibling, the new Cayman, will look like, both inside and out. There is of course a matter of proportions and the shape of the tin top, but that too can be solved with a little bit of imagination along with some help from the numerous spy shots that have circulated around the internet the last year.

| Corvette ZR1 Taken to the Max by German Tuner TIKT Posted: 21 Jan 2012 06:59 AM PST  In pure stock form, the Corvette ZR1 is a performance beast with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine pumping out 638-horses and 604 lb-ft (819Nm) of peak torque. However, German tuning firm TIKT believes that there's plenty of room for improvement so it introduced a new take on the ZR1 with its Triple X package. It all starts with the ZR1's eight-cylinder powerhouse that gets modified cylinder heads, camshafts, valve springs and compressor ratios plus a larger throttle valve, a completely modified exhaust system, a reprogramed ECU and changes to the cooling system.
