Did you know that the rear trans-axle on the AW11 was taken from a front-wheel drive E80 Corolla? If you look at the rear wheels you can still see the tie rods from the steering linkages bolted to the underside of the car. The original MR2 is probably the most literal case of a front-wheel drive car in reverse.

The track car business keeps on growing, so we decided to put one of the newest entrants to the sector to the ultimate test. Could the lightweight, no compromises Zenos E10 S travel hundreds of miles to the Nurburgring, and put in rapid laps while it's there?

From the guys who brought you the RingBanana, we have a different driver and a different MX-5, but the results are just as incredible! Much faster machinery is dispatched by this plucky 1.6-litre Mazda, which is merely wearing better pads, coilovers and tyres

When you really care about the art of driving, there are a few skills, techniques and experiences that reaffirm your love for getting behind the wheel

People who like cars are a total minority, but we're also supremely passionate. That means we can get a bit carried away, and sometimes that infuriates the non-car lovers around us!

There's nothing many petrolheads would like more than to find a cool, classic motor hidden away in a barn. From time to time, some absolutely incredible cars show up under bails of hay and layers of moss. Here are some of our favourite finds...

Gumball 3000 is currently smashing its way through Europe, but it's a ludicrously expensive event to enter. We decided to see what alternatives are on offer, for everyone from broke students to bored millionaires

Since we've been driving the incredibly light Zenos E10 S this week, it got us thinking about cars with incredible power-to-weight ratios. Here's a list of 10 such cars that combine power and lightness to devastating effect

A cool set of wheels can make a car go from ordinary to special, and over the years there have been some iconic designs shod in rubber. We looked back at some classic designs and fitted them to their modern counterparts. Here are the awesome results

After spending nearly a week cruising to, around, and back from Germany in the no compromises Zenos E10 S, I was reunited with our long-term Jaguar XE S. Here are a few things I noticed about jumping between the two

Last week we hosted our second Nurburgring CTMeet, and it was a festival of wicked cars and epic sideways action. We've compiled some of our favourite photos and videos from the weekend for your enjoyment

The notorious Schwedenkreuz corner on the Nordschleife has claimed another victim. This time a Civic Type R driver loses control in the fast left-hander, has a heavy collision with the barrier, before being pitched into a barrel roll

Dashcams are so often used to show horrific crashes or shameful road rage, but sometimes random acts of kindness occur when the cameras are rolling, and they'll restore your faith in humanity

Emojis are taking over our lives and are replacing actual, real-life language. So we've decided to imagine which emoji best sums up some iconic cars

It seems like every few months we hear some kind of ludicrous claim about speed or efficiency or both from an overly ambitious new automaker. Here are some of the most notorious examples of start-up supercars that ended up being vapourware...

We've put together a totally scientific quiz to decipher which manufacturer you have the greatest affinity to

We all love to see arrogant and aggressive drivers get a healthy dose of karma, so we've rounded up the most satisfying clips of douchebags getting owned out on the road

This biker is happily cruising along the motorway when a group of cars start wrecking in front of him. As cars crash and spin, he accelerates right through the debris to safety

Owning a car isn't like owning any other inanimate object. We bond with our cars and relationships grow, so it's not surprise we grow some habits with our rides that are often weird, but totally relatable!

We've checked the performance stats of a number of animals, aeroplanes and assorted other 'things' - it's your job to figure out which is faster!
