It's widely recognized that the Reventon Roadster is the final evolution of the Lamborghini Murcielago platform so it’s not surprising to see this new prototype for the car’s replacement undergoing testing. This new Lamborghini will have some tough competition when it arrives as there are new supercar models in the works at rival...
Chrysler is in a process of rejuvenating its product lineup, releasing new or updated versions of almost its entire lineup over the next couple of years. We’ve already seen significant new models like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Charger, Chrysler 200 and stylish Chrysler 300 sedan, but there are several other models in the pipeline, the...
Lexus has consistently rated at the top of studies for vehicle quality over the past several years, which is not surprising considering that one of the marque’s main slogans is “The Pursuit of Perfection”. Here’s an inside look at Lexus’ Kyushu plant in Japan where the upcoming 2011 Lexus CT 200h is being built...
Since the first unveiling of the 270 horsepower 2011 Volkswagen Golf R, hot hatch enthusiasts here in the U.S. have been pining for a successor to the legendary R32, but according to previous reports the new Golf R is still up in the air for American sale due to cost issues and the relationship between the euro and the dollar. That may soon change...
While most of us would be lucky to get a new pair of socks or maybe even a car care kit for our birthdays, rapper Jay-Z has been given a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his 41st birthday by his lovely wife Beyonce Knowles. Jay-Z, who celebrated his birthday on December 4, is said to have been thrilled with the present, despite already...
The German nutters at Brabus were the first to the scene with a tuned EV when they brought out the Brabus Tesla Roadster at the Essen Motor Show in 2008. Now they're following up with a new package for the Roadster Sport, complete with pre-paid electrcity for at home or on-the-go charging. That's right, not only does the Brabus Green Package...
With Travis Pastrana gone from the world of rally to mire himself in the world of NASCAR's Nationwide series, there was an open seat at Subaru Rally Team USA (SRT USA). Until today, that is. David Higgins has been named as the second driver alongside team leader Dave Mirra. Mirra had been second to Pastrana, but seniority apparently rules at SRT...
The Ferrari 458 Italia, despite its propensity to burst into flame, is one of our favorite cars of all time for a multitude of reasons. The new GT2 racing variant spotted today just builds on what makes the production car great. Shod in three-piece racin wheels, wearing a lot more frontal ventilation, new Naca ducts all around, and yellow...
The 2012 Porsche Cayman R, a lighter, more focused variant of the mid-engined Cayman coupe, made its debut just last month, but talk of the previously rumored Cayman Clubsport--even lighter and more hardcore than the R--continues. A report today quotes Porsche mid-engine czar Hans-Jurgen Wohler as saying, "anything is possible." If that sounds...
The BMW 1-Series M Coupe is very close to its official unveiling, and BMW has decided to give us an early look at the car sans camouflage. What does it look like? Exactly what you'd expect after all the teasers. Painted a brilliant orange, wearing suitably aggressive bodywork, forged alloy wheels, and with a hint of the song of the turbo inline...
Night time driving can be difficult even with excellent vision and good headlights--and it can be especially dangerous for pedestrians at the roadside. But Mercedes-Benz has been tackling this area of road safety aggressively for years now, today announcing the addition of a unique spotlight system to alert both driver and pedestrian. The system...
We love the Dodge Viper. Brutal, anachronistic, uncontrolled yet controllable with application of considerable skill, the Viper was the last pure sports/super car until its death this year. The next-generation Viper's fangs won't be so sharp. That's the word from Dodge CEO Ralph Gilles according to Autocar. Gilles says the new Viper will be its...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is on a roll of remarkably nonsensical declarations of late, not least of which are the "mpg" ratings for the 2011 Nissan LEAF and 2011 Chevrolet Volt. The latest, and possibly silliest, pronouncement: the 5,771-pound, 453-horsepower V-12 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe is a compact car. How, in the name of...
Lotus Racing has been on the grid for a season already, but that's not the "real" Lotus. Group Lotus, the corporate parent of Lotus Cars, won't be in F1 until next season--as new owner and title sponsor of the former Renault F1 Team, running under the new title "Lotus Renault GP." Confused yet? It's no wonder, and the fight between Group Lotus...
