Video: Corvette Stingray Takes on All Corners of the Globe at Willow Springs

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

The folks at Edmunds took the 2014 Corvette Stingray and put it to the test at Willow Springs International Raceway versus its usual competitors: the SRT Viper , Nissan GT-R , Porsche 911 , Porsche Cayman S , Ford Shelby GT500 and the BMW M3 . It looks like the "Stingray vs. The World" title suits the video well, given there is one car from Japan, a few from Europe and another one from the U.S.

BMW M 1000 R and Updated S 1000 RR Coming for 2023

Mon, 19 Sep 2022

Updated 999cc Shiftcam engine It’s been nearly two years since BMW first debuted the M 1000 RR, its first motorcycle to carry the company’s high-performance M brand.

That now looks to be the case, as a new M 1000 R model has appeared in vehicle certification documents in Switzerland and Germany.
