We like the current Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X just fine. It’s a serious performance vehicle, capable of being fast in nearly any circumstance. But anyone that’s driven both the Evo X and its predecessor will tell you that, while the current Evo might be fast and agile, it lost a bit of...
It’s Friday, you’ve been done with your actual work for hours, but you can’t just up and leave your cubicle without getting an odd look from your boss. Why not make it look like you’re hard at work on the next batch of TPS reports? Sit back, and enjoy our latest Modern Classic POV video.
Think of this car as the GTI W12’s older cousin, many times removed. Modified by the team at 034 Motorsports, what started as a standard Mk4 is now powered by a 3.0-liter, turbocharged V-6. That doesn’t sound very special, right? Well, it’s mounted in the middle. That’s right, this is a...
For our American readers, this weekend is a holiday and is generally considered the unofficial start of summer. It’s also a great weekend for motorsports, with the Monaco Grand Prix, Indy 500, and Coca-Cola 600 all taking place on Sunday. If you’d rather do some driving, though, this video ought...
If you haven’t seen Winding Road's video catalog (the unofficial home of all of our Quick Drive and POV videos), then you might notice that they take place on the roads of southeastern Michigan. It's no secret that Michigan is a state that is seriously lacking in twisting roads. That’s precisely...

The newest-generation of the Volkswagen Beetle is quite fun on its own, we found to our amusement. Being able to drop the top and hear the chug of the grease-burning TDI engine only adds to the fun.
Are you curious about what it’s like to get behind of the wheel with the latest Honda Civic Si? This point-of-view video, shot and edited by Chris Amos, presents the car without any distracting commentary or music. Instead, it offers high-definition video and binaural audio to really get a feel...
It’s an old school Friday at Winding Road, and Multimedia Editor Amos put together a video of a classic hot sedan from… Volvo? Yes, the respectable, tame, conservative, safe Swedish brand actually has quite a bit of history when it comes to performance. In particular, it’s R models were highly...
Our Multimedia Editor Chris Amos takes us on a point-of-view test drive in the 2013 Porsche Cayenne diesel in this video. There's no fancy music, no distracting narration. It's just the car doing its thing.
We’re just days away from the beginning of the 2013 Formula 1 season, which means we’re putting together out Fantasy F1 teams, and we’d love you to play with/against us. We’ve got some great prizes this year, too.
Considering it’s Friday, and none of us want to do actual work, this makes today’s list a perfect time sink. We’ve corralled our most popular POV test drives, and have assembled them in one place. There’s roughly an hour’s worth of video here, with everything from affordable rear-drive coupes...
We were offered a turn in a rare Evo GSR, complete with the old-school five-speed manual transmission. It had all the important bits, like the revvy, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, but the addition of a third pedal changes the Evo’s equation considerably. Join us as we take it for a spin in our...
The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is a perennial favorite among the Winding Road staff. It’s a fast, stylish, and muscular vehicle that we never get tired of driving. In fact, we enjoyed our last CLS so much that we had our own Chris Amos put together this POV driving video. We strongly recommend...
