According to Mercedes-Benz, America’s dirty fuels, namely its high sulfur content in gasoline, is the main reason why we won’t be seeing a new generation of ‘lean-burn’ engine technology anytime soon. Already on sale in Europe, these lean-burn engines run at a much leaner fuel-to-air ratio than conventional engines...
We’ve seen plenty of special police cars in the past, including a Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 and even an impounded Dodge Viper, but the latest is just too cute to ignore. BMW has this week presented the Woodcliff Lake police department in New Jersey with a brand new MINI Cooper. The car is emblazoned with the message...
Following recent reports of Chevrolet launching a new special edition version of its Camaro muscle car roughly every six months comes a new set of spy shots of a mysterious prototype of the retro-styled muscle car.

BMW's X6 puzzled the public and the press alike when it hit the roads in 2008. It still confounds even the most determined of ontologists, but manages to win fans despite its compromised nature. Audi apparently wants a piece of that pie, as a new report says the Q6 is back on the front burner. We first brought you news of the Audi Q6 back in 2006...
Just before the New York and Shanghai auto shows get underway, the Netherlands will host the 2011 AutoRAI in Amsterdam. There, according to a local report, we'll learn more details about Jaguar's next, smaller sedan, including the official unveiling of its name: XS. The name fits the current mold well: XJ, XF, and XK and their many variants form...
The Lotus 7 is perhaps one of the most copied sports cars in existence--derivatives in kit form have been available from many manufacturers for decades, including the Caterham version this car is based on. But this one is special. Powered not by some modern econobox engine, but by a contemporary of the original Lotus 7, the 2.0-liter Cosworth BDP...
The Chevy Corvette isn't selling like it did in the years before our economy melted down, but it's still selling--and coming back. This video, the second episode in season two of Corvette Racing's Track To Street series, shows how it's leveraging its racing program to improve its street cars--and vice versa. From using production methods to build...
Just yesterday, word emerged on the Web that the 2013 Shelby GT500 could kick out as much as 620 horsepower. Today, we have the first spy shots of the new car. Expected to pack a 5.8-liter supercharged V-8 based on the current aluminum-block 5.4-liter engine, the new GT500 has the coming 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 squarely in its sights. If it's an...
