The original "horseless carriages" of the 19th century had top speeds of around 10mph. Today, Bugatti claims the Bugatti Chiron is the fastest road car around. It is electronically limited to 261mph, and Bugatti won't say what its unlimited top speed is, yet.

But why is a sports car so much faster than yours? What exactly makes a vehicle fast?

While various factors, including wind resistance and gearing, make a difference, the fundamental answer is power-to-weight ratio. The more horsepower a car produces per pound of weight, the faster it will go. It's why the 155-horsepower Mazda Miata…

When you picture a sports car, the first questions on your mind are "how fast does it go? How much torque does it have?" Not, "how safe is it?"

It should be unsurprising then, that of the three iconic American muscle cars the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested, none came out on top.

The Ford Mustang earned a "good" rating in every category except for the small-overlap collision -- a significant lapse in safety considering small-overlap is

Celebrity scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson turned his attention toward the automotive industry in a recent tweet, but not away from the cosmos. In fact, as Tyson points out, many car names are surprisingly stellar, from the Buick Apollo, to the Chevy Equinox.
