Every Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 (And ZR1) Ranked By Horsepower - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The iconic ZR1 badge has featured across five generations of the Corvette since the early 1970s, and every generation has fascinated its own era of muscle car enthusiasts. Depending on the generation, it's spelled with or without a hyphen, a distinction that matters here because these are technically different configurations across very different eras. What started as a bare-bones competition package with the third-generation (C3) 'Vette has morphed into an exotic in disguise with the C4 before
How The Chevrolet Corvette Became A Midlife Crisis Car (And Why That's Changing) - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The stereotype is easy to recite: older guy, red car, inexplicable urgency to prove something. Ask a group of car salespeople what vehicle most reliably triggers the midlife crisis association and the Corvette comes up first. There's data behind the joke, and there's also a more honest explanation for why the numbers look the way they do.

How The Company That Makes London's Black Cabs Ended Up Owned By A Chinese Company - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The London black cab is one of the more recognizable vehicles on the planet. It is also, since 2013, entirely owned by Chinese automaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, one of five car makers that own the most brands right now.

The company behind the black cab for most of its modern history was Manganese Bronze
This Might Be The Worst-Selling Car To Ever Become A Seven-Figure Classic - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Only 252 units were ever sold, the production run nearly bankrupted the company, and Daimler-Benz came close to absorbing what remained. Today that same car is a cornerstone of BMW's heritage and trades for seven figures at auction. What sounds like a tall tale is exactly how the BMW 507 came about — and why it's worth exploring. The 507 began with Max Hoffman, an Austrian-born car importer who had built a reputation for reading American appetites for European sports cars correctly. In the early
This Is The Worst F1 Finish Ever - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
June 26, 2011. Valencia Street Circuit. Sebastian Vettel took pole, led from the front, and won comfortably on his way to that year's championship. Fernando Alonso — who seems to have done his last competitive laps of Barcelona this year — finished second to a home crowd, while Mark Webber placed third. None of that is particularly unusual for the sport in 2011. What was unusual: every single car that started the race crossed the finish line. All 24 of them. At the time, this was only the fourth
