Watch a London Cyclist Intentionally Cut Off a Lamborghini Aventador

To say some Londoners hate supercar drivers who enjoy revving their V12 engines and sprinting on the city’s streets is an understatement. If you watched the documentary we covered earlier this year, you know how some London residents feel about the so-called "supercar invasion". Read more »

How Fuzzy-Wuzzy: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in a Velvet Wrap

Surprise…FGearTV Says 12-Year Old Ferrari Owner Story Was a Hoax

As many suspected when the crew from FGearTV shared a video of a 12-year old boy from the UK named Callum, who purportedly bought three Ferrari models including a F355, a 458 Italia and a 599GTO, after selling an app to Google for £8.5 million (or $8.5 million, it wasn't made clear) at the age of just 9, the story was nothing more than a hoax.

New Owner of TVR Reveals Plans on the Future of the Brand [w/Top Gear TVR Videos]

Les Edgar and his investors could be called a bunch of hopefuls in thinking that they can bring back the iconic British sports car brand TVR, a company which never exuded financial stability, under any of its former ownerships.

However, since the name does genuinely mean something to automotive fans, and they don't plan to change much in bringing their cars back onto the radar, it may very well just work out.

Who's at Fault Here in This Road Rage Curse Fest? [NSFW]

Most of us spend a heck of a lot of time on the road behind the wheel of a car or the handles of a motorcycle. Sometimes we're not in the best of moods, which is when ugly things can happen.

Filmed in the UK from the helmet camera of a motorcyclist, this video shows the squabble between the former and a driver of an older generation Honda Civic saloon on the road, which evolves into a lesson on British curse words (hence the NSFW tag).

Surprising Success of Three Wheeler May Prompt Morgan to Make More Variants

If you love driving in its purest form, as well as old-fashioned mechanical engineering, with little or no electronic aid associated, then the attraction exuded by the Morgan Three Wheeler is undeniable. Furthermore, you don’t have to be an older gentleman to understand, appreciate and want one for yourself – this has even caught the company off-guard, as they were not expecting this much interest from younger people.

Ford Fiesta ST Beats Toyota GT86 on the Track in EVO Test

It’s not the first time the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S) is compared with a front-wheel drive hot-hatch and it’s not the first time it loses when it comes to speed. In this latest test from the UK's EVO magazine, the GT86 proves to be slower round the Bedford Circuit than the Fiesta ST by a significant 1.2 seconds.

I know everyone says how fun the tail-happy Toyota is to drive, but doesn’t speed matter at all for all the GT86’s fans? If I were to buy a €29,000 ($37,990) rear-wheel drive sports car, I wouldn’t like it to be slower than a less-powerful €20,000 ($26,200) front-wheel drive hot hatch. I would probably hate it, to be honest.

Kia Puts a Price Tag on Hot Pro_Cee’d GT for UK Market

If the name Pro_Ceed’d GT, which is far too long and too contrived, doesn’t put you off buying a hot Kia, then the model’s recently acquired price tag of £19,995 for the UK market positions it in a market sector which it has for itself, only fighting off Renault's GT Line and the odd higher-spec VW Scirocco.

The model has been developed to be a kind of sub-hot-hatch vehicle, so there’s less outright power than any of its apparent direct rivals, but the car itself looks just as sporty, and it matches the sexy two-door Vauxhall/Opel GTC and Renault’s Megane RS for presence - it's still a bit faster than what are called warm hatches, though.

12-Year Old Kid Buys 3 Ferrari Models After Selling App to Google, But Is It True?

Here's the thing with the story you're about to read and watch: we don't know if we're supposed to feel amazed, jealous or suspicious. To sum it up, the super- and sports-car loving crew over at FGear.TV on YouTube, posted a video interview of a 12-year old kid, likely from the UK judging by his accent, who currently owns not one, not two but three Ferrari models. If true, it would make him the youngest owner of Maranello's creations in the world that we've heard about.

The video description reads: "We met up again with 12 year old Callum who purchased a Ferrari when he was 10. Now, he has 3 Ferrari's including a 458 and a 599GTO and soon to be a star in a documentary series."

Duck Bus Sinks on Liverpool's Albert Dock, Dozens Rescued

We're pretty sure that the tourists in the Yellow Duckmarine vessel that was paddling its way through the Albert Dock in Liverpool, UK, on Saturday afternoon, had very different expectations of what a ride in an amphibious vehicle would be like.

Instead, the 31 passengers, among which, many children, of the tourist bus ended up in the frozen cold waters of the River Mersey when the vessel sank within minutes of entering a dock – and it was all caught on film.
