Peugeot is proving that it is a leader when it comes to hybrid technology, diesel-electric hybrid technology in particular, revealing today the latest iteration of its impressive 908 HYbrid4 endurance race car. We saw the first generation of 908 Hybrid4 race cars from Peugeot back in 2008 and since then the design has evolved into what you see...
Now here’s one way to ruin a Ferrari 458 Italia. Okay, perhaps it isn’t that bad, but why anyone would want to muck up the near perfect lines of the 458 is beyond us. Nevertheless, the tuning mad scientists at Mansory have developed a new kit for the Italian thoroughbred and have used this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show to debut...
It didn’t make this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show but a brand new 2012 BMW M5 is just around the corner, at least in concept form, and in the lead up to its arrival BMW’s hallowed M Division has released an extended version of the original teaser video from a couple of days ago. The latest clip has BMW M boss Dr. Kay Segler...
With the arrival of the new Boxster S Black Edition in showrooms this year, Porsche’s entry-level convertible range is now complete and due to be replaced by a brand new model in the coming 12 months. These latest spy shots reveal a nearly complete prototype, which surprisingly was spotted at BMW's test facility in Munich. Development of the...
As the 2011 New York Auto Show approaches, organizers of the annual World Car of the Year awards have released details about the top three finalists for each of the World Car, World Performance Car, World Green Car and World Car Design categories, and as usual they remain as controversial as ever. This year, the vehicles were whittled down from an...
Ruf has never considered itself simply as an aftermarket tuner, seeing itself more as a niche automaker capable of building some of the highest-performance cars on the planet. You only have to take a look at the legendary line of CTR models to understand where this view is coming from, and in recent years Ruf has also shown a strong interest in...
BMW's 2002 is often taken as the benchmark for true Bimmerphiles. It's outdated in technology and performance, but there's a purity to its small dimensions and simple aesthetic that many refer back to in judging the cars since. This example, a 1974 2002 Turbo outfitted with an M20 six-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine, is a great example--or is...
Nighttime in Franciacorta, Italy. Legendary touring car driver Fabrizio Giovanardi behind the wheel. The James Glickenhaus Ferrari P4/5 Competizione on track. Magic. These are the latest videos to come from the continuing development of what may be the most ferocious custom-built one-off racer outside of the formula world. Progress, as with all...
The U.K.'s Bristol Cars may not be on the tip of every wagging social media tongue these days, especially here in the U.S., but it has produced some remarkable cars over the years. Unfortunately, unless it finds an angel to keep it going, it may be going under. Bristol has entered administration (the U.K. equivalent of bankruptcy) and is searching...
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK still may be the least honed, least intense of the trio of pricey German roadsters, but it's ripened over its 15 years and three generations. New for 2012, the latest SLK has pretty much steamrolled over any trace of its dainty past and hot-paved it with real, substantial, and sometimes intoxicating sports-car urgency...
We've all had the dreams, hustling our way around our favorite tracks on our preferred racing sims: if only we could get the opportunity, we could show the world how fast we are in real life. One lucky gamer, Lucas Ordonez, got exactly that chance as winner of the Nissan/Playstation GT Academy competition. Now he's going to get a shot at the LMP2...
Rolls-Royce recently introduced its newest model, the Ghost, to wide acclaim, despite it being the smallest and least expensive model currently offered by the hyperlux manufacturer. Bentley could easily have followed suit--but it doesn't look like it's going to. Instead, Bentley is eyeing a vehicle more closely priced to its existing lineup, the...
