Stripping down to a shell and building back up is what Singer put on the menu for this special Porsche 911. Keeping a few structural standards of the original 911, such as the wheelbase, a-pillar, roofline and some...
Hot on the heels of the Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore revealed back in January comes the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Tricolore Edition, which was built in honor of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy.

Everyone is talking about carbon fiber these days. The material, well-known for its strength and relative lightness to steel and aluminum, is finally beginning to become less exotic than it once was. BMW plans to lead the charge toward extensive use of the material. BMW is already investing heavily in carbon fiber, with a focus for now on its i...
If you're jonesing for some slightly de-beaked Acura TL, you don't have long to wait: the new 2012 version goes on sale on March 18. Unfortunately, apart from a very mild restyle and a new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission, there's not much new to the TL. Or perhaps that's fortunate; beyond the awkward front end (which has...
The 2014 BMW i8, based on the 2009 Vision EfficientDynamics concept, has been spotted in winter testing near the arctic circle. While the car is still more than two years away from production, work on the car's powertrain is already underway.

Do you love to grow hedge-sized facial hair, wear weird hats, and drive classic Mercedes-Benzes? Maybe you like to talk about being an addict while running barefoot down the middle of the street. Either way, Mercedes is targeting you. Believe it or not, these two caricatures are the main protagonists in Mercedes' latest duo of YouTube videos. One...
This is one of the first videos of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 revving its mighty 700-horsepower, 6.5-liter V-12 engine--and though the sound quality isn't great, it holds the promise of things to come. An official-looking video from Autogespot made its way onto the web in mid-February, a few weeks before the car's debut at the Geneva...
The AMG Driving Academy just got a lot more interesting: you can now work your way up to getting the SLS AMG GT3 on track in the Masters program. You may remember the SLS AMG GT3 from our live coverage of the world debut event in Oaxaca, Mexico. The FIA race-ready car pegs the pricing needle at about $430,000--but you don't have to buy one if you...

The car itself is already fast, according to drivers...
