Development of a track-focused Camaro believed to be a new Z/28 hit a hurdle today. One of the prototypes suffered a crash while testing at the Nürburgring. We have before and after photos and video.

Last month, Hennessey’s Venom GT Spyder became the world’s fastest open-top production car. A new video tells the story of all that went into achieving the feat. It turns out the car was down about 300 horsepower during the run.

There are two leading firms racing to be the first to demonstrate a working Hyperloop system. Yesterday, one of the firms, Hyperloop One, successfully completed its first full-scale test.

You’ll find all of these stories and more in today’s car news, right here at Motor Authority.
