Stars of Villa d’Este
On the eve of one of Europe’s most elegant Concorsos d’Elegance, our friend Wouter Melissen of the Ultimate Car Page takes an in-depth look at four of the exceptional vintage cars from last year’s event. Check out: Best of the Best.

Fast Times
Read the New York Times feature about the legendary Craig Breedlove, his lifelong passion for setting speed records and his latest effort to recapture it with a goal of 800 mph. Check out: Speed Freak.

Last of the fast
The guys at RK Motors in Charlotte, N.C., have gotten their hands on the final car from Mopar’s epic original run of Hemi-powered muscle cars, a 1971 Dodge Charger R/T, and here’s their web page focusing on its ongoing restoration. Check out: V8 is Enough.

Fast track
Here’s a great submission from a loyal Best of the Web reader: The website of Jim Pace Motorsports that’s loaded with terrific high-speed videos. Check out: At the Wheel.

Fastest of all
Edmunds’ Inside Line has compiled a list of the 100 fastest production cars of all time, and guess what? Not a single vehicle on the list is more than 23 years old. Yes, these are golden times, my friend. Check out: Holy Horsepower!

Sebring crowd sourcing
Another reader suggestion: A video montage by five race fans of the 2012 Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring. The raceway and GoPro gave each fan an HD HERO2 camera to record their experiences, and here’s the compilation. Check out: Fan Experience.

Rate the grid girls
Now’s your chance to cast votes for the sexiest racing models of this year’s international track events. Oh yeah, the photos are awesome. Check out: Lots to Like.
