Post Malone’s very white Bugatti Chiron is up for grabs

Rapper and face tattoo enthusiast Post Malone is selling a 2019 Bugatti Chiron. It’s not just any 2019 Bugatti Chiron, either, but one tailored to Mr. Malone’s personal tastes, which is, apparently, white on white on white. Malone apparently eschewed the Chiron’s available two-tone exterior for a single finish entirely in what Bugatti calls Glacier. […] March 08, 2022 at 09:30PM

You can now watch Jay Leno’s record Tesla Model S Plaid run

The Tesla Model S Plaid has been in the “put up” phase of its “put up or shut up” tour pretty much since day one.

Kanye West’s Wyoming ranch fleet of cars is up for auction

A collection of four-wheel-drive trucks and SUVs used on Ye’s (formerly Kanye West) ranch property in Wyoming are up for auction. While some celebrity vehicle auctions can be plumbed for unique collectors’ pieces or signposts of wealth-fueled eccentricity (and the latter would certainly be on-brand for West), what we have here is a relatively practical […] November 03, 2021 at 07:03AM

Ken Block partners with Audi for new performance EV projects

Fans of Ken Block and the Gymkhana series will have to get used to a new badge adorning the rally and stunt driver’s charismatic automotive creations. Out: One blue oval; in: four silver rings.  That’s right, Block has defected to Audi. Well, “defected” is perhaps being a bit harsh. Block went “free agent” (his words) […] September 22, 2021 at 12:55AM

All 24 James Bond movies ranked only by their cars

There is no shortage of lists ranking the best James Bond movies. Ditto lists about the best or worst James Bond cars. I know, I’ve written some of them. As such, why not combine the two ideas into one new list that ranks all 24 official James Bond movies based exclusively on their cars, or […] September 14, 2021 at 07:02AM

He offers to drive his dad’s prized Porsche 928 while they’re gone, “just to charge the battery.” Dad says, no, he’s not insured to drive the car. Mom says, “Just use the station wagon.” Does he listen? Of course not. Taking […] July 21, 2021 at 07:39AM
