Heavy-duty pickup trucks are about to have serious torque envy thanks to the all new Bentley Mulsanne Speed.

In 2004 Mazda did something truly special. It took the already highly praised MX-5 Miata roadster and improved upon it in nearly every possible way.

Bentley just revealed its newest product ahead of the Paris Motor Show with a staggering 811 lb-ft of torque because… well, it’s basically a log on wheels.

The folks at Lexus just officially unveiled this sultry-looking two-door at the North American International Auto Show. The 2015 RC F performance coupe is a V8-powered sports machine designed to rival products like the brand-new BMW M4 and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.

BMW will soon offer a new kind of M car, at least in name. The 2014 M4 will be the range-topping version of the new 4 Series, which is a migration of the brand’s 3 Series coupe and convertibles in name.

Jaguar is teasing its range-topping XFR-S for a second time ahead of its scheduled debut during the L.A. Auto Show this week.

In a surprising move, Formula One and Speed will be going their separate ways after this season, ending a 17-year relationship.

If it weren’t so loud and socially inappropriate, this Chevrolet Camaro’s exhaust roar would make a great ringtone. Then again, being loud and offensive is why it’s cool.

In any case, the video below shows Late Model Racecraft’s project F-body Camaro hitting 253.1 mph after smoking its tires. The intro is set to a remixed version of the instrumentals from Metallica’s “The Unforgiven,” which electrifies the already vicious video.

If you’re a fan of the loud, the agressive, the muscular cars that command attention both in person and on film then this video is for you.

What’s especially nice is how we see and hear the car roaring up to the stated speed from the cabin instead of a bunch of boring trackside angles with the car blowing past.

We spoke to Josh Ledford, co-owner of Late Model Racecraft, who told us that the Camaro in the video recently rated 1,800 horsepower on 28 lbs of boost. In the standing mile video the car was only running 22 pounds from its 82 mm twin turbos which force air down the throat of an LSX Talldeck performance engine.

“I think we were having trouble with our boost controller that day,” he said. “We ran 250 [mph] four times that day, back to back to back. I think we’re the only people to do that.”

Watch the video below and see for yourself.

The Car Show on SPEED channel has not been picked up for a second season, and as a result has been cancelled. It first debuted back on July 13th and was supposed to be SPEED TV’s alternative to Top Gear – which has been picked up for a second season.

Cadillac released its third teaser video for the 2013 ATS, their compact sport coupe. In the video, Cadillac engineers explain why they have focused their efforts so closely on gathering data at the Nurburing track, saying they can gather more data in one lap at “The Ring” than in twelve at any U.S. track.

If you like playing Nissan‘s GT Academy, you’ll want to watch the TV series that uses the popular video game to find the next racing superstar. Catch the five-part reality show on the Speed Network, where virtual gamers will compete for their chance to become a professional race car driver.
