It’s a known fact that some of the worst movies in existence feature some of the best car chases ever created. Films like Bullitt, Vanishing Point, The Wraith and To Live and Die In L.A. are terrible from a script standpoint. However add in a good car chase, and BOOM! Instant classic. The following is a montage of some of the best chases ever recorded on film and I’ve got to say that the way it was put together is pretty damn impressive.

Pitting a car like the Caterham Seven Supersport against any type of SUV on a closed circuit, may seem like a very unfair thing to do. However the 550 hp Bowler EXR S is anything but a standard SUV. You see this thing was designed to not only run events like the Paris Dakar Rally, but to do things that no other SUV in existence can do. Case in point, chase a lightweight Caterham around a racetrack. Check it out after the jump.

If you were born after 1985 then the odds of you ever seeing a real life carburetor are probably pretty slim. I mean let’s face it, even though fuel-injection was available in the late 60′s it wasn’t really implemented until the mid-1980′s. For those of you out there however who feel the need to know how this little piece of old school technology actually works, fear not, because this video explains everything you need to know about your friend and mine, the carburetor.

When I was 18 a buddy of mine came over to my parents house driving his father’s Morgan Plus 8. It packed an old Buick V8 engine, was what felt like 3-inches off the ground and had a frame that was made of wood. In short, it was one of the most terrifying things I’d ever ridden in up until that point. Jay Leno recently had a buddy stop by his garage with a highly modified Morgan Plus 8 that was set up for the road course. It was loud, low and by today’s standards, like driving an ox cart. It does however look like one helluva lot of fun, so make sure to check it out after the jump.

Be honest. Since the advent of Forza Motorsports, you just haven’t been as excited about anything that has to do with the Gran Turismo series – I know I haven’t. Sony however is now getting ready to release Gran Turismo 6, and by the looks of the trailer, it seems to be pretty damn good. I’m just wondering how much farther they’ll be able to push the existing PS3 platform without sacrificing game play or graphics. Unfortunately we’re going to have to wait awhile to find out because Sony is saying we’re not going to see GT6 until around the time that Santa comes a calling. Check out the trailer after the jump.

Want to know what happens when you pit one of the lightest, most aggressive little sports cars, against a German super bike and a 600 hp French rally cross car in the rain?

Awesome, that’s what happens. Nothing but awesome!

It must be nice being Tom Cruise, as not only are you a world famous movie star, but you’re granted access to some of the greatest toys the planet has to offer. For instance, showing up to Willow Springs Raceway in a Red Bull helicopter (Tom is flying of course) and then having the chance to jump into a million dollar Formula 1 car for some quick laps. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not jealous (yes I am) but I’ve think I’ve chosen to follow the wrong line of work.

Pulling off a good wheelie on a motorcycle is not an easy thing to do, but can be accomplished with time and practice. However pulling off an extended wheelie on a full-dress Harley-Davidson bagger? Well, that’s another story entirely. You see these suckers can weigh upwards of 700 pounds, so hoisting, and then keeping that front wheel skyward is no easy task. The guy in this video though, this guy makes it look like a complete walk in the park. Click through and check it out.

It’s hokey, ridiculous and so far fetched it isn’t even funny. However Hot Wheels is back, and with their reemergence they bring one of the most entertaining little automotive movies of recent times. Four teams; Red, Yellow, Green & Blue compete for the title of “World’s Best Driver”. Some will be eliminated, others will succeed. You won’t know who the victors are though until you watch the full 22-minute flick. Check it out after the jump.

The upcoming Porsche 918 Spyder has been the topic of debate for quite some time now and it’s not even on the road. The worlds first super car hybrid, the Spyder is said to pump out 887 hp and handle like no other road car that Porsche has ever built. Chris Harris of Youtube’s DRIVE Network recently had a chance (although a short one), to not only drive the new 918 Spyder, but do get up close and personal with the engineers behind it. Check it out after the jump.
