Backfires • The joyful noise of the commentariat, rebutted sporadically by Ed.

A Race Against Time

Every Number Tells a Story • Since the beginning, Car and Driver has supported its storytelling with objective testing. This is the story of how and why we do it.

When Does an $8000 Car Cost $21,000?

Evolution of the Species • A by-the-numbers tale of how EVs are changing the performance landscape.

These Vacuums Suck • Some literally, others figuratively. We put seven cordless vacs to the test to find the best for cleaning up messes in cars.

Clock Doesn’t Lie • How do you make a three-day event driving the newest performance cars on America’s best track as stressful as it is fun? Start a timer.

Lobster out of Water • Exploring the appeal of two similarly expensive but very different ultraluxury cars through the eyes and callused hands of a hot-rodder.

No.14 • Virginia International Raceway’s 4.1-mile Grand Course is America’s toughest racetrack, a thrilling mix of challenging corners and high-speed straights. Going fast here requires power and grip and resilience, plus a whole lot of confidence. If a performance car is hiding any weaknesses, we’ll find them. That’s why we return every year with a new crop of vehicles to run the fastest possible lap in the ultimate test of performance that we call Lightning Lap.
