For better or worse, government and social concern over fuel efficiency is a real and serious consideration for the world's major automakers. Porsche, with its full line of vehicles and rapidly increasing sales, is among them, so it’s not surprising to hear that even the legendary sports car manufacturer is starting to make concessions in...
Over the past year or so most of the buzz surrounding Jaguar’s future sports car lineup has centered on a new roadster model dubbed the XE, which is expected to arrive in the next year or two. However, to keep sales of the current XK and high-performance XKR chugging along in the meantime, Jaguar also has several updates in store for its...
Here’s something you don’t see every day. Driving down a highway in Tunisia, a news team happened to film a man allegedly stealing a bright yellow Ferrari 599 GTB supercar. What’s odd is that he uses an oversized forklift to transport the vehicle, carrying it home in broad daylight through the middle of a reasonably busy highway...
Porsche is soon to launch its next-generation 911 and as can be seen by these latest spy shots, prototypes for the car appear to be almost complete. Shown in the least camouflage and from the closest distance yet, the new 911 looks to be just as its predecessors have been: a variation on the classic theme, with some modern tweaks. But just as the...
Each year, in the days prior to the Australian GP in Melbourne, there is a demonstration race known as the Celebrity Challenge. The event pits a group of Aussie celebs in a one-make race around the Albert Park F1 circuit and in the past has included cars such as the MINI Cooper and Fiat 500. This year celebrities will use the new 2011 Lexus CT...
Just hours after today’s earlier leak of the new Minagi Concept, Mazda has released full details for its latest concept and confirmed that it will be appearing for the first time at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March. The concept is said to be a preview of a brand new compact crossover from Mazda but it’s also the latest iteration of...
Future BMW models wearing the number "28" on their bootlid will no longer be fitted with six-cylinder engines but rather a new generation of four-cylinder gasoline engines complete with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The first of these models is the newly revealed BMW X1 xDrive28i, which has just made its world debut in Canada and will be...
The aging Mazda Tribute is long overdue for an update and reports of a sharper and more dynamic compact crossover from Mazda date back to early 2007, so it’s not at all surprising to see that the Japanese automaker is working on just such a model. Previewed here today in concept form, the new compact crossover from Mazda will likely be...
Last month Ferrari boss Luca de Montezemolo revealed that the automaker was planning something “very different” for March’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and then just this week news broke that he may have been referring to a new Shooting Brake model to be based on the 612 Scaglietti. Now we have a spy shot of a mysterious Ferrari...
A few years ago Volkswagen was touting the benefits of its new ‘twincharger’ technology for gasoline engines. Labeled TSI, the technology essentially combined both a supercharger and a turbocharger along with direct fuel injection on a single engine to boost performance throughout the rev-range. Volkswagen was able to extract up to 170...
Mitsubishi is working on a new global small car positioned below its Colt hatchback and scheduled to enter production at a newly erected plant in Thailand in March of 2012. The car has been previewed here today as a concept that is scheduled to be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March. The 2011 Mitsubishi Concept Global Small is a...
What car do you buy when your usual mode of transportation is a Formula One race car? Well, in Mark Webber’s case, you buy a brand new 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. The Aussie F1 star took delivery of his latest ride, the fastest and most powerful road-going model ever built by Porsche, just before Christmas of last year and he reportedly paid...
A few weeks ago we first reported on plans for a new Audi A9 four-door coupe that would sit atop the automaker’s lineup as a technical masterpiece and challenge other high-end models like the Mercedes-Benz CL and upcoming BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe. Of course, the chances of a bespoke A9 flagship getting the green light from Audi senior...
We haven’t seen or heard much on the Volkswagen Scirocco coupe since the decision was made to exclude it from U.S. sale back in 2009. Reasons cited for the decision centered on a weak dollar and fears that it would cannibalize sales of other models such as the Golf. Fast forward to today and the climate in the auto industry is a very...
The lads are back for yet another season of all out hilarity on four wheels, this time with a brand new Stig and plenty of new antics. Some of the goodies we can expect include a comparison between two classic supercars, the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959, a test of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost as well as the over-the-top Pagani Zonda R. Of course...
