Last year, Formula 1 drivers had the ability to adjust the angle of attack of their front wings from the cockpit, in theory to aid overtaking in the turbulent wake of another car. It didn't work all that well. This year, it's the rear wing that gets active control, showcased in the video below by the new Sauber C30. The reason? To compensate for...
MINI is launching a new personalization program called MINI Yours, which will essentially offer customers a range of different options to configure their car exactly how they want it. Customers will be able to choose from a large selection of exterior paint finishes, light-alloy wheels, upholstery variants, interior trim and color lines, as well...
Hot on the heels of the Black Edition 911 Carrera and Carrera Cabriolet models revealed last week comes the new 2011 Porsche Boxster S Black Edition, which like its 911 siblings will be making its world debut next month at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Porsche’s Black Edition models are essentially a range of limited edition models equipped...
It’s hard to beat that feeling of buying a brand new car, especially when it’s a car that promises the exclusivity and the performance of the new 2012 Lexus LFA. With only 500 examples ever to be produced and a pricetag that starts at $375,000, it’s safe to say that LFA owners will be in a very, very exclusive club. Not...
At the 2010 Paris Auto Show back in September Chevrolet rolled out a hatchback variant of the Cruze, which despite being called a concept is due for sale in Europe and the Asia-Pacific later this year. The car is being engineered primarily by GM’s Holden division in Australia but unlike the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac G8, which were also...
Just a few weeks ago we saw the entire list of nominees for the World Car of the Year awards, as well as the separate Performance, Green and Design categories, which are held annually at the New York Auto Show. In total, there were more than 40 contenders originally but this list has since been whittled down to just 10 finalists for the respective...
Lexus is certainly going to great lengths to emphasize the sportiness of its upcoming hybrid hatchback, the all-new 2011 Lexus CT 200h. After previewing an F-Sport endowed concept version of the car at last year’s Sydney Motor Show, Lexus has now called upon longtime tuning partner Five Axis to create something special for next week’s...
Just a few weeks ago we reported on GM deciding to ditch the 2.8-liter turbocharged engine in the Cadillac SRX and stick with its naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V-6 as the luxury crossover’s sole engine option. We now have an update on those reports, with news today claiming the 3.0-liter V-6 will also be replaced with a single 3.6-liter V-6...
If you’re still unfamiliar with the John Cooper Works (JCW) branding, either you’re not a MINI fan at all or you’ve been living under a rock for the past several years. JCW is the official tuning arm for the MINI brand and not only produces its own range of upgraded cars but is also responsible for the brand’s motorsports...
MINI will be using next month’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show to unveil a range of new sporty diesel models based on the regular Cooper and Cooper Convertible, as well as the longer wheelbase Clubman and Countryman SUV. The new range will be badged as SD models and will come fitted with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine developing 143...
'Tis the season for new Formula 1 car unveilings, and today we have a trio, though only one is an early favorite for front-of-the-pack status. We'll let you guess which. Scuderia Toro Rosso's STR6, the sixth iteration of the Red Bull junior team's sporting chariot, gets its power from a Ferrari Type 056, and Ferrari's KERS system. With the...
Last week we brought you the preview to BMW's four-part documentary series entitled "Wherever You Want To Go." Today, the first part is out, subtitled, "The New City." As you might guess, it's about the future of urban mobility and what we'll face as population density grows and the need to get around effectively grows with it. Bonus? Buzz Aldrin...
Buick has yet to officially confirm the plans, but reports are breaking that the Buick Regal Hybrid will be on display at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. Borrowing the eAssist hybrid system from the LaCrosse, the Regal Hybrid is expected to turn in 25 percent gains, reaching as high as 24 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. Those might not seem like...
"Never mess with a Chevy, dude." That's the moral of the story of Chevrolet's latest Super Bowl XLV ad. It's also a cross-promo for the new Transformers movie. We'll leave the details to the video, but here's a teaser: it includes a giant woodchuck getting thrown through the air, Bumblebee, and a high-school marching band.
Rumors of a potent, possibly AMG-branded, Mercedes-Benz B-Class have been making the rounds for a while now, but Mercedes just put a point on the talk with the official unveiling of a one-off 388-horsepower V-8 B-Class built by the trainees at the Rastatt plant. You may remember the car from a preview we brought you last December, but today brings...
