A week with the monstrous Audi RS6 left me wondering: at what point does performance become pointless? 552bhp in a wagon might seem like a genius idea, but does the big Audi make sense once the novelty of all that pace in such a huge package wears off?

We often hear of sports cars that steal technology from their racing counterparts, but there are a number of motorbikes that are so highly tuned that they're more at home on the track than the road. Here are some of the most extreme

We set up a new 'Roast My Car' community and invited you guys to put your cars up for abuse - some of the comments were absolutely brilliant!

The driver of this GT500 was attempting to leave a car show in style, when things went horribly wrong. He spins out, hits a Ram truck, and absolutely destroys his car - the airbags failed to deploy, and he was hospitalised as a result of the wreck

Volvo has teamed up with a Nordic delivery service and a couple of online retailers to provide a service that allows someone access to your car boot in order to place items inside

VW has announced that it is slashing budgets across the business to cover the estimated €30bn (£21bn, $32bn) costs associated with the Dieselgate scandal, but what does that mean for the company? Here are some of the losers now VW is pulling out cash

Thanks to the fact that people could work and sleep in their cars, Audi reckons the convenience afforded by self driving cars will spell the end of domestic flights and business hotels

Wearable technology, be it glasses, watches or anything else, is becoming more and more popular. For the most part they're gimmicks that add little to your life, but in the automotive world they could revolutionise driving

When one of Motor Trend's staff passed away recently, he was in the middle of swapping a 1999 Chevrolet Camaro LS1 V8 into a retro Mazda RX-7. Here, his friends get together to finish the project for him

America has been tough for Koenigsegg to crack thanks to it being complex and expensive to make a car road-legal there. Still, it's persevered, and will cover the full build of Agera RS chassis number 128, which is destined for the States

During a police chase in Utah, cops were angered when a Toyota Tacoma driver decided to join their pursuit, attempting to PIT a fleeing truck. Instead of stopping the pursuit, the fleeing car was pushed into oncoming traffic

As we hurtle towards the end of another year, I've been reflecting on what it was like to be a petrolhead in 2015. There's so much to love, but unfortunately quite a few annoying aspects of the 'scene'

Following the news that VW cars are emitting higher levels of nitrogen oxide than is permitted, the manufacturer has been working on a way to upgrade engines in order to comply with regulations. The first fix is here, but only for European cars

A full service history makes a used car much more appealing, but the owner of this Subaru takes that a little too literally by describing sexual exploits, bowel-related mistakes and his backseat maternity ward

These guys show off their immense talent by somehow not wrecking in the tight confines of this abandoned shopping mall

Since Koenigsegg felt it necessary to point out that it makes cars that are quicker than the LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, we thought we'd look at a few niche manufacturers to see what else is going super fast these days

It's not just the VW Group that's been covering up its emissions output. According to the German Environment Agency, the Renault Espace spews 25 times more nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere than originally claimed

When you look at the EV automotive landscape, it's easy to see why people are uninspired by the new tech. Aside from Tesla, no one's really making cool electric cars right now, but the next generation of EVs will change all of that

One condition of Chris Harris' 'Holy Trinity' track battle was that the P1 had to run on the same Pirelli Corsa tyres as the LaFerrari - here's the lap with the track-spec Pirelli Trofeo R rubber fitted

This guy claims a cop he knows blocked off the road to allow him to open up his GT3. While that seems questionable, it's fantastic to hear that flat-six under full load

This trailer might be more than a year old, but it somehow passed us by when it was released. And it might be for a fairly uninspiring car, but this genius advert shows off everything Mercedes has offered us throughout history

With everyone salivating over recent LaFerrari vs. McLaren P1 vs. Porsche 918 Spyder triple tests, Koenigsegg has asked why it's not involved using impressive statistics

Seat is under pressure from VAG bosses to grow up, but the funky Spaniards are at their best when allowed to go a bit wild. The Ibiza Cupra's a great car, but it's a little bit too much like its Polo brother

Noriyaro has gone for a drifty drive of Ebisu, taking in every course configuration of this iconic circuit
