The Car Guide is currently travelling to Laguna Seca in beautiful California to put the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and its big brother the GT350R through their paces, both on and off the track. These beasts are powered by a 5.2-litre atmospheric V8 producing 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of …

We’ve been infatuated with the BMW i8 ever since it appeared on the cover of the 2012 edition of our French-language publication, Le Guide de l’auto . Since then, we’ve been chomping at the bit to drive it, and when a test drive was recently confirmed, we were positively giddy.
