The Nissan ESFLOW electric sports car concept isn’t scheduled to be unveiled until the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in just a couple of weeks but we have live images of the car, which were taken at a special media presentation held earlier today in Frankfurt, Germany. Most of its specs are already known: with a lightweight aluminum chassis...
Cadillac is blaming the wax coating on a rear suspension component for its latest recall of certain 2009 and 2010 model year CTS models. A total of 50,000 vehicles are affected worldwide, though only 11,147 of these are here in the U.S. The affected vehicles have a condition in which a wax coating on the rear suspension toe link jam nuts may allow...
Most remain divided on the styling of the new Ferrari FF and its controversial ‘shooting brake’ bodystyle, and it seems no amount of official photography is going to persuade its detractors. However, we now have a new video of the car captured by the pilot of a dog sled that came across a completely undisguised version in the snowy...
The common theme of late amongst the major luxury automakers is to form industry partnerships with experts in the field of advanced lightweight structures, with an aim to eventually build lighter cars that are still relatively safe in the quest for improved fuel economy. We’ve already seen BMW and Mercedes-Benz form respective partnerships...
As we first reported back in November, Lancia, the new European face of Chrysler, will be unveiling a new version of its Ypsilon minicar at next month's 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Today we have official images and details of the car, revealing a very similar design to its Delta big brother. The fourth generation of the compact model--with over 1.5...
If you weren't aware (unlikely): the Army sponsors a NASCAR team. The purpose? Recruitment. Getting the Army brand out there, and catching the eyes of the young to hopefully influence their career paths by engaging in a sport they enjoy watching. But Democrats don't like it. At all. "It’s just a waste of money. A complete waste of taxpayer...
Ferrari's charismatic head, Luca di Montezemolo, may be considering a move into Italy's political scene. The quintessentially stylish, youthful-for-his-years Italian recently told press he'd like to be reborn as a politician. At a recent lunch, Montezemolo put forth what sounds an awful lot like a platform: calling for consensus and community over...
Whether it's an EcoBoost V-6, a reborn turbo-four SVO, or a brutal uber-GT500, Mustang fans have been clamoring for turbos for ages now. It looks like they'll get their wish. Details are exactly zero beyond the reported confirmation by Bill Ford, Jr., at a Princeton speech last night. According to Jalopnik, one of their readers attended the...
Robert Kubica's horrific rally crash in Italy earlier this month, which impaled his car on a guard rail and severly damaged most of the right side of his body, has opened the door for Nick Heidfeld to return to F1. The 33-year-old German will take the Pole's seat at Lotus Renault GP for the 2011 season. Heidfeld says he'd have preferred to make in...
Don't get us wrong, we're huge fans of pretty women, minimally clothed, in close proximity to automotive hardware. We're not alone in that, either. But it's a bit cliched, and often more than a bit lame. Subaru Canada has taken the eye-candy in an entirely different direction. And we like it. A lot. Instead of appealing to your prurient...
Earlier today Porsche took the sheet off its 2012 Panamera S Hybrid, revealing a 333-horsepower, supercharged V-6 powerplant supplemented by a 47-horsepower electric motor in the familiar long-back sedan shape. Now we have its starting price: $95,000. That's a steep point of entry, but considering the standard 400-horsepower V-8 Panamera S starts...
