    Japanese-style mountain drifting comes to Canada (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When we catch up with Mark Webber of Full Lock Ltd, he’s just back from personally wrangling a push-broom to clean up after a successful event that saw forty cars drifting their way up and down a closed section of narrow public mountain road in British Columbia. There are perhaps two takeaway lessons here. The first of these is just how properly Canadian Webber’s response is. Drifting is all about show and spectacle, and has early roots in illegal stunting on the touge (that’s “toh-gay”) hill-ro

    Shelby designer Peter Brock to be keynote guest at Cobble Beach (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    “Shelby said, ‘Lookit, I’m not interested in them at all, just do whatever you want with them.’ So they were going to take them out and dump them in the North Sea. If it had not been for Alan Mann paying out of his own pocket to send those cars back to the United States, they all would have disappeared.” Peter Brock, automotive designer and racing legend, is full of these kinds of stories. Here, he’s speaking about the six 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona coupes, one of which just fetched a record pric

    Read excerpt

    The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) kicks off next month, running from September 10 through 20 and showing a host of movies from around the world. It’s a Toronto cinephile’s dream event of the year, and this year is also a great one if you happen to be a bit of a gearhead. The closing movie, for instance, is the made-in-Quebec F1 racing biopic Villeneuve: Rise of a Legend. Salut, Gilles. Also bound to be pleasing to the auto enthusiast community is the TIFF premiere of Drifter, the ac

    Dodge's takeover of Woodward Avenue spotlights horsepower (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the climatic race of 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, Dom and Brian line up next to each other, black Dodge Charger and orange Toyota Supra, and hit the gas. A quarter-mile up ahead, a locomotive races towards the crossing right in front of them, the unstoppable approach of destiny. But what if, instead, the pair weren’t drag-racing towards a speeding train, but towards a space-time anomaly that would merge the two cars into one? Early August, on a closed-off section of Woodward Avenue, Michi

    2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee stirs up buzz with 600 hp (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Coming in on a drone of turbocharged inline-six at red-line, then flicking to rear-wheel-drive to boil out smoke like a beekeeper tending a hive, the new Dodge Charger Super Bee is looking to stir up some buzz. It kinda needs to. When the Charger dropped the V8 option for the previous generation, it also gave up a charismatic calling card. Even if buyers couldn’t swing the price tag or fuel costs of a Hellcat variant, the presence of the 5.7L Hemi promised attainable muscle. But here’s what Dodg
