Jay Leno drives one of my favorite Ferraris

Jay isn’t too much of a Ferrari guy. He always says he likes them, but always feels like he can get something he’ll like better for less money. The classic Ferrari 275 GTB/4 is hard for any gearhead to resist, though.

Motor Trend: Cadillac CTS-V vs. Lexus GS F

This video really made me want a Lexus GS F for some reason. The Caddy is cool, but they also neglected to mention that the Lexus will be reliable for 200,000 miles of relatively trouble-free fun. The CTS-V?… Not so much, if history is any indicator.

Enjoy.

Jay Leno checks out the gorgeous new Aston Martin DB11

This new Aston is incredible, with its twin-turbo V12 and its next-level detail work. I got to see it up close in Greenwich a few weeks ago, and I was blown away. Let’s see what Jay thinks of the DB11!

Another half-decade, another new engine for the Crusher Camaro. Or something?

The LS-7 that was in the Crusher Camaro since the infamous 2014 blizzard had to go back to Mast Motorsports. While Roadkill no longer features the Crusher, it’s still owned by Hot Rod Magazine, and as a result still lives in their shop. Now, it’s got a Blueprint Engines LS3, packing EFI and all sorts of high-end internals. They also added a very nice Magnussen supercharger, which helps to get this new engine over the 700HP mark–enough to smoke tires at will (just as the Crusher was intended for). Watch thsi video–you certainly have the time.

Car Magazine Pits the Ferrari 488 GTB against the McLaren 570S and Audi R8 V10 Plus

The Ferrari 488 GTB is one of the supercars to beat at the moment, taking everything awesome about the 458 and turbocharging it (quite literally). The question is, is it worth the price premium you pay over more “entry-level” supercars? (I really don’t feel right about saying it that way)

I mean, let’s face it, a Ferrari 488 GTB is going to run you over $300,000 when options and dealer premiums are added. Meanwhile you can have the McLaren 570S and Audi R8 V10 Plus, and keep around $100 grand in your pocket. Maybe buy something cheap, like an Audi A8, as a daily driver.

Is the 488 really worth it in context?

Motor Trend has been putting out some fantastic videos over the past few years, and this new one with the 2016 Chevrolet SS Sedan is no different. Here as Jason Cammisa and Randy Pobst, with the help of their friend Tire S. Moke, explain just how fantastic the Chevrolet SS Sedan is.

1955 Porsche 356 Speedster at the 2016 Amelia Island Concours

1955 Porsche 356 Speedster Front 1

The Porsche 356 might be one of the most well-regarded early German sports cars ever. Since I was a little kid, I’ve wanted to have one in my driveway, simply because of their honest styling and fantastic sense of adventure. This little white Speedster is the last of the pre-A series cars, making it an early model combined with the most desirable body style. The Speedsters are extremely valuable–and this one, being an early one, is a prime example of how Porsche got popular in the States. Max Hoffman hit the market perfectly and the Speedster, which was a cheaper convertible 356 aimed at competition markets, was a massive home run at the time.
