Motorcycles and cars star in strangest drift battle ever

You really don't need a coherent plot to make a fun drifting video, and that's exactly the case with this clip from Icon Motorsports. Running over dirt, racetracks, and even Miami freeways, it features two generations of tuned Mustangs, a mean-sounding reverse-trike, and some high-powered bikes sliding around. The attempted story is fairly vapid, though. Things veer into the weird when Dax Shepard arrives to beat up an old BMW 7 Series by taking the big sedan off-road. Thankfully, the cinematography makes up for the plot shortcomings, and the drifting at least looks great on camera. It's always cool to see a mix of cars and bikes sliding around together in such close proximity. Just as a warning before clicking play, there's some not-safe-for-work language and humor in the video. This isn't the first car vs. motorcycle vs. whatever drifting video that's run on these pages, most from Icon. Here are links to the first, second and third installations in the series. As you can see, each new incarnation is a bit more outlandish than the last. And somehow, we'd wager that this fourth video probably won't be the last, either.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils

It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little.

The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.
