Leave a Comment
http://ift.tt/1IqVdiz It happens to the best of us. One day you’re living life on your own terms, making frivolous decisions and changing directions on a whim. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, your personal monarchy begins to crumble, your former life of folly giving way to a hard-nosed democracy. Governing duties are now shared with a significant other, and decisions are driven by the best interests of your former kingdom’s newest residents—who...

Own This Pristine, 100-Year-Old Go-Kart

Leave a Comment
http://ift.tt/1Nt4FC6 With modern car technology advancing at a staggering pace, it’s nice to see early examples of automotive history, like this 1915 Smith Flyer, still alive and kicking. Beginning in 1915, the Smith Flyer was built by A.O. Smith Company. Its motor wheel, a technology that was relatively new for the time, was especially unique in that it was gas powered where previous examples had used electric motors. The 2-hp Briggs...

Going to Plaid: A Technical Look at the Car and Team Aiming for 1000 mph

Leave a Comment
http://ift.tt/1IqJCQD From the July 2015 issue The land speed record has long been a curiously British obsession. Since it was first set back in 1898, when Frenchman Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat drove his electric Jeantaud to a dizzying 39 mph, Brits have held the title to the fastest land vehicle on earth for a combined 75 years (the U.S. comes second with 28 years). It was a British car that took the record supersonic, when ThrustSSC...

2016 Bentley Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series Limited Edition Debuts (That’s the Entire Name—Save for “Debuts”)

1 comment
http://ift.tt/1R24289 We’re thinking of swapping our bromides for something a smidgen more potent, like, say, reading the name of Bentley’s new special-edition Continental GT Speed. Halfway through the car’s 65-character, 11-word name, we simply gave up, hit “copy” then “paste” just to stave off torpor and get it to you quicker: 2016 Bentley Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series Limited Edition.

Red Bull Gives You License Plates? Roadgoing Supercar May Happen

Leave a Comment
http://ift.tt/19gXnfj The Red Bull Formula 1 team may produce a roadgoing supercar, with company boss Christian Horner telling journalists at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that the idea is still being discussed. We’ve been here before, however. Red Bull first said it was looking to collaborate with Nissan on a road-car project as long ago as 2012, and the following year Horner said that he wanted to grow the Red Bull brand outside...

Casey Jonesing: Smart Takes to the Rails

Leave a Comment
http://ift.tt/1BU9SkW We should give credit to whoever signed the check for this one. Because Smart UK has spent some serious money to create a unique version of the Forfour seemingly solely so it can justify using the old “corners like its on rails” cliché in anger. The Forfour in question was fitted with 22-inch-diameter solid-steel wheels profiled to allow it to drive on standard-gauge railroad tracks—which are 4 feet, 8-and-a-half...
