Valentine's day is fast approaching, which means that we men - taken or otherwise - have got to get our acts together quickly. Here are 10 things we're all thinking...

John Hennessey, the man behind some of the world's fastest cars, chases 200mph in his very own 717hp+ supercharged Ford Mustang GT. Unfortunately, he doesn't quite hit the golden 200mph target, but comes damn close!

Spanish pensioner José Manuel Hermo Barreiro ('Patelo') has done it again, spending 2520 hours and using 850 pieces to make this perfectly balanced, miniature W32 engine (yes, a W32!). This is utterly amazing...

Pop-up headlights are literally the best things in the world. "Lights go up, lights go down," you know the drill. To celebrate pop-ups, we've hit Photoshop hard and have taken 10 cars to fit them onto. For each model, we've taken inspiration from their older counterparts with pop-up lights

The Dubai police force is showcasing its 'Luxurious Super Patrol Cars for a Luxurious City' in a video that would easily rival the trailer for a Blockbuster movie!

The owner of this M3 - who looks suspiciously like a young Chuck Norris - takes his RWD car for a controlled rally hoon. Just listen to that straight six sing...

This guy's incredible timelapse video tracks the artistic transformation of his garage wall. To Mr. Eric Douse, you're welcome to stop by the Car Throttle office any time!

RWD vs 4x4 - there is no competition, right? Wrong. In this unlikely match up between two very different cars, the duration of the battle is truly surprising!

This supercar battle between a turbocharged V8 650S and naturally-aspirated V10 Huracan ends in a clear victory for the downsized Brit. The way it shoots off the line is incredible!

Based on my experience of picking up my Mk1 MX-5 yesterday evening, this is how a petrolhead feels on the day of new car collection

This week, the Top Gear trio headed to the Australian Outback for cow herding with three super-expensive luxury supercars. Here were the best moments!

BMW's AWD E30 isn't only awesome because of its boxy retro body, it's also pretty damn good at being a brilliant snow beater. Check this out!

Last week's shoot in Wales produced a set of stunning Aston images. So in the name of great photography, here's a selection of pics for you to use as you please!

Autocar road tester Matt Prior gives us the low down on one of this year's most anticipated cars, the Mk4 Mazda MX-5...

It may weigh 2335kg, but a slouch the Range Rover Sport is not. With 503bhp on tap, it's good for 0-62mph in 5.0sec and a top speed of 143mph. But the best thing? That's definitely the amazing exhaust note!

The V12 Vantage S Roadster is fast, loud and sexy, but it's very much a Jekyll and Hyde car; some aspects of it make me punch the air with American-style enthusiasm, while others are facepalm inducing. Here are the things I loved and hated about it...

The first episode of Top Gear series 22 featured an epic race in Russia, plus a great Hammond feature on the Huracan with a 1.15.8 hot lap courtesy of the Stig. Here's the incredible in-car footage...

McLaren has shared its first teaser video of the new 675LT. It's the firm's answer to the Ferrari 458 Speciale and will make its debut at the forthcoming Geneva motor show

In the week of excess we've just had - which included everything from supercars and their ancestors, to a V12 Aston with more sex appeal than a third date - one thing that struck me was how tricky the modern cars were to get into. So what gives?
