Video: MT wrings out Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni on mountain road, leaves soundtrack at home

Talk about a perfect way to spend an afternoon. The boys over at Motor Trend got their hands on Lamborghini's hottest two-wheel-drive creation, the LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, but instead of taking it to the track or recording performance data, they decided to show what this car does best – attack winding roads with brute force and staggering beauty. We'd be lying if we said we weren't just a wee bit jealous. We highly suggest you take three minutes out of your day to watch this example of Italian supercar hotness storming through ...

Video: Memory Jog - Revisiting the Mercury Tracer 11 days ago on Autoblog

"It's peppy," the salesman said as an enticement to buy... It's not that the Mazda 323/Ford Laser-based first-generation Tracer was a bad car, but the Escort apparently called stronger for our own hard-earned dollar, so we drove home in a brand new 1989 wagon. Ford apparently figured this out ...

Video: Honda execs talk up historical link between CR-Z and CRX 12 days ago on Autoblog

Looking at the 2011 CR-Z, it's hard not to think back to the original Honda CRX. The two-seat configuration, double-paneled glass hatch and sport compact styling are what made the CRX a huge hit for Honda buyers some two decades ago, and the automaker is hoping to recapture that magic with the ...

Video: San Diego 'runaway Prius' has media buzzing 12 days ago on Autoblog

Video: Aston Martin releases new One-77 testing footage 16 days ago on Autoblog

To be blunt, the Aston Martin One-77 is all sorts of awesome. Having recently crested the 220-mph top speed mark in testing, the One-77 will be the fastest, most expensive Aston road car ever produced. But this hypercoupe isn't just about warp speed – it's stylish, elegant, and with only ...

VIDEO: Naughty Volvos headed this way? 21 days ago on Autoblog

March 2, at the Geneva Motor Show, Volvo is promising us "naughty" cars. We have no idea what they have in mind – Sinful sedan? Evil estate? Headstrong hatch? Your guess is as good as ours, but as the video shows, there will be an S60 involved somehow. We hope that lucky gold feline comes ...

**Video: EVO takes Lexus LFA on public roads, gets jiggy with it** 1 month ago on Autoblog

Sure, we've already had the chance to flog the new Lexus LFA on the track, but we haven't had the opportunity to spend time with Lexus's new supercar on public roads. The folks at EVO have that covered, though, and as we would imagine, the LFA is quite a different machine when it isn't being ...

Bangers and Mash: Website offers auto classifieds limited to $1,000 [w/video] 1 month ago on Autoblog

The $1,000 car – it's an often-quixotic purchase. You go into it an optimist, but very soon after, the newness of your latest old thing wears off, and you're left with a four-wheeled sarcophagus of rattles, forgotten receipts and gum wrappers. Still, there's a certain romance to the idea of ...

Video: Hummers still good for some things, like towing giant snowplows 1 month ago on Autoblog

Hummer may be the most hated automotive brand in the history of the green movement, but even Al Gore has to admit that there are times when a big, hulking SUV is necessary. The snowed-in residents of Baltimore City are likely very happy there was at least one H2 nearby when one of their massive ...

Video: Honda engineer talks CR-Z, says Lotus Elise was an influence 2 months ago on Autoblog

Take a look at the specs and it's easy to dismiss the 2011 Honda CR-Z out of hand. Despite its hybrid drivetrain, the 1.5-liter four coupled with its electric motor churns out a lackluster 122 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque and only nets a combined 37 mpg. That's far from enough to set ...

Video: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG spits in the face of physics 2 months ago on Autoblog

Years ago, when reading about the Saleen S7 supercar, our mental jaws were dropped by one particular info-tidbit. Seems as if the ground effects and aerodynamics on the S7 created so much downforce at speed that you could drive it upside down! Likely? Let's just say no. But a fantastic mental ...

Video: Articulate This! Chainlink 4x4 is frighteningly awesome 2 months ago on Autoblog

We aren't sure who built this or why – we're not even sure what it's called (we think it's "Chainlink") – but we're quite sure it's brilliant. Perhaps the new champion of wheel travel, the off-roading beast has around seven feet of articulation at each wheel, up and down. ...
