We can add yet another supercar debut pegged for next week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show; Swedish automaker Koenigsegg has confirmed that a new model based on its Agera supercar will debut at the Swiss event and we now have the first official images and details (you may recall that images of the car, one commissioned by the Omani Royal Family...
By the time you've settled into lap three around Laguna Seca, the Boss is shouting at you and you don't even care. This isn't your office, so revel in it. This Boss hammers your tympani with a proprietary blend of pleasure and pain--sound familiar?--but none of the kvetching over expense reports or missed deadlines. It's watching you like a hawk...
We don't run a lot of drag racing material here, but when we do, you know it's special. This is special. Kevin Fiscus has had a killer few days at South Georgia Motorsports Park, running his drag-radial-equipped turbo Mustang successively quicker in each session, trimming his times down to the 4.33-second, 180-mph 1/8th mile pass you see below...
We sit just a handful of days from the opening of the press days at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Rapidly shaping up to be the blockbuster automotive event of the year, the show holds no shortage of enticing and downright awesome hardware to display. First up, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. The victim of wide-ranging leaks by self-serving print...
The Nissan 350Z was an impressive, affordable, and minimalist sports coupe. The 370Z that followed it added power and amenities. As we've reported before, it looks like the next-gen Z could go hybrid, possibly sporting a Mercedes-sourced 3.5-liter V-6 and electric assist drivetrain. But is it the road to an untimely death? Hybrids and electrics...
We're still bewildered by the Lexus LFA. Sure, it's fast, it's pretty good-looking, and it has a banshee of a V-10 under the hood. But it's priced at about 1.5-2 times the price of cars that look just as good (or better), are just as quick (or faster) and are far more readily available. This video gives us a peek into just one aspect of the...
A Subaru owner has seen fit to dispense with the roof of his bewinged 2011 WRX STI sedan and replace it with a custom convertible top. We ask only this: WHY?! We, along with just about everyone but the owner/creator and Manchester Subaru, the dealership offering the car for sale, just don't get it. The STI is a fantastic performance sedan. Cutting...
This image may or may not be a teaser of the Tornante, Gumpert's second supercar and already shaping up to be much more aesthetically pleasing than its undoubtedly hard core but decidedly utilitarian Apollo. Part of the reason for the visual improvement is that the Tornante is penned by Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera. Regardless of...
Opel, GM’s European division, is working on a new generation of its popular Zafira MPV and in the lead up to the new model, due out later this year, the automaker has unveiled this latest concept. Called the 2011 Opel Zafira Tourer Concept, the new show car will be on display next week at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and closely resembles the...
