All we can say is, we feel your pain. A motoring journalist for CAR Online, videotaping himself driving the just-launched 2012 Ferrari FF four-wheel-drive shooting brake on a limited-invitation press event, manages to ... ummm ... drive over a curb. Or as he might say, "kerb." His reaction is completely predictable, and largely unprintable. Watch...
A new new M car may be on the horizon, due this fall in the Land of the Rising Sun. Its recipe? Lightweight, high-tech materials, and more electronics than ever before. What will be the platform? We're not sure, but it's not likely to be the 1-Series M Coupe. The 1M Coupe already had a lightweight forebear, if you remember: the 1-Series Tii...
You just bought a new 2011 Chevrolet Volt, you're all set to save the world one full-range EV charge at a time...so what do you do? Hit up Laguna Seca, of course! The overenthusiastic duo inside this 2011 Chevrolet Volt dampens the party somewhat, but the lack of engine noise lets us hear the Volt's high-efficiency tires scrabbling for all they're...
The Audi RS6, available in both sedan and Avant wagon bodystyles, is one of the most sought-after models for Audiphiles all around the world but sadly it's not currently offered in the U.S., its monster twin-turbo V-10 proving too expensive to comply with strict U.S. emissions regulations. However, that’s all set to change with the...
There’s been talk of Kia launching a small affordable sports car as far back as early 2007, the strongest indication coming from the Kia Kee rear-wheel drive sports car concept unveiled that same year. Sadly, since then, we’ve only been treated with a number of mainstream models like the funky Soul hatchback and Forte. However, in the...
No we’re not talking about the limited edition 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid, which recently went on sale but is only due for release in late 2013. The latest Porsche model said to be under consideration is a brand new mid-engine supercar that would be positioned above the 911 range but slot in below the 918 Spyder. Designed to compete against...
As the world's automakers go back to the drawing board on what they need to compete in today's market, both structurally and in terms of product, parts sharing and efficiency are increasingly becoming key concepts. The next-generation of the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class SUV could embrace both concepts with a much closer link to the next G-Class and...
Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed is shaping up to be an epic racing game. It might not have the 1,000+ cars or bajillion tracks of GT5, but it looks to be an order of magnitude more concerned with realism and actual racing. We'll have to withhold judgment until we get our hands on its shiny game CD, however. Until then, we have a stream of videos...
Rumors are loose on the German interwebs that Porsche is moving further from its one-time niche as a sports car maker into full-line status. To take the next step on that path, it may be working on a smaller Panamera derivative to do battle with the mid-range luxury sedans of the world. But our question is: where does that leave Audi? Reportedly...
The proliferation of a new 4.0-liter V-8 through Audi's lineup is nothing new, nor is talk of turbocharging the engine. A 520-horsepower version dropping into the S8 is, however, and it's rather interesting if you're a fan of big-sedan speed. BMW and Mercedes have both already jumped on the twin-turbo V-8 train, making Audi a bit of a tagalong...
Hybrids are working their way into seemingly everything these days--race cars, supercars, luxury cars. The next-gen C-Class may take the hybrid drivetrain to the extreme, however, putting one in almost every variant available, according to a new report. Citing unnamed "company sources," Autocar says the next-gen C-Class, due in late 2013, will...
Testing in Sebring has shown the CTS-V Coupe race car not only looks good, it has the pace as well. The first real test of the car on track will come this weekend, however, at the Streets of St. Petersburg event that kicks off the SCCA World Challenge GT series. The CTS-V Coupe's presence will mark the official return of Cadillac to racing since...
