Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia is known for being a little maverick-y. Over the course of his career, he's developed a reputation as a very smart, highly opinionated guy who's not afraid to move at his own pace. That can serve him well in the courtroom, but it didn't do much for Scalia yesterday on the George Washington Parkway, where he...
Since the introduction of the first Audi A4 back in 1994 (albeit the A4 is essentially the original Audi 80 renamed), more than five million cars bearing the A4 name have rolled off Audi production lines in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm in Germany. The five-millionth model was a ‘Misano Red’ 2.0 TFSI quattro model, which will be going to a...
Production at the main factory of Swedish automaker Saab has restarted this morning after it was halted by a dispute over unpaid suppliers. Adding to concerns over the future of the small Swedish automaker, Saab's main plant in Trollhattan shut down yesterday when suppliers halted delivery of critical parts in what owner Spyker Cars called...
A reputable dealership specializing in exclusive supercars and luxury models and based just outside of San Diego, California has listed the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento as “incoming inventory”. This is the clearest indication yet that the stunning supercar will in fact be built, and backs up previous reports that suggested the car was to...
Tesla is no stranger to lawsuits, having been on both the receiving end and acting as instigator in several nasty cases in the recent past. The Californian electric car startup is now at it again, this time taking on the formidable forces of the BBC, more specifically the network’s Top Gear program, for libel and malicious falsehood. Tesla...
Earlier reports of a more potent version of the Panamera Turbo have proven true, following the unveiling today of the brand new 2012 Porsche Panama Turbo S. Once again, with its new top model in the Panamera model line, Porsche is raising the bar for sporty four-door cars in the luxury class by yet another notch. As predicted, the Panamera Turbo S...
Sophisticated hybrid systems that utilize an internal combustion engine to power one axle and an electric motor spinning the opposing one seems to be all the rage these days and could potentially form the next wave of green car technology to sweep the auto industry. By powering two axles instead of one, the innovative drive systems, also known as...
Wild, post-apocalyptic scenes, a young and as-yet not off-the-rails Mel Gibson, and a heavily modified 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe: without these, Mad Max wouldn't have been the success it was, and it certainly wouldn't have made its way into the cockles of car-loving hearts as it has over the past 32 years. Now, Ford Australia and Top Gear...
Audi has been rolling more of its RS line of cars into U.S. showrooms as exchange rates improve and emissions regulations approach parity with Europe, with the RS3 a possibility, and the TT RS and RS5 models due late this year. Sometime after that, possibly in the 2013 calendar year as a 2014 model, the RS4 is expected to arrive--though we'll be...
While it isn’t the high-performance M6 we’re all waiting for, the latest M Sports Package for the upcoming 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe does give the dynamic luxury two-door an even sportier look thanks to some distinct M styling cues. BMW’s line of M Sports Package upgrades typically include exterior modifications to give a sharper...
So just how fast is the 2012 Mustang Boss 302? Very fast, for a production muscle car priced around $41,000. In fact, if you slap a set of drag radials on the car you can break into the 11s in the quarter mile and trap north of 117 mph. This video shows a new owner--window sticker still apparently on the car--doing just that at a Maryland drag...
Oh, those clever, dissatisfied Chinese luxury car owners and their displays. First it was beating a Gallardo to death with sledgehammers. Now it's towing a broken-down Range Rover back to the dealership with donkeys. What's next? Blowing up a Bentley on a giant pile of firecrackers? The man behind this donkey-driven display in Shenyang decided...
Scratch the surface of any Porsche vehicle and a sports car will be revealed, regardless of the body style. The latest and potentially most controversial addition to the Porsche line-up honors that tradition. A long, low, high-waisted luxury sedan with the widened nose of a 911, the midriff of a Cayenne and a broad tail enveloping the massive rear...
We may not have liked the flavor of Corvette's latest commercial touting its production-car superiority in relation to its American Le Mans Series racing rivals, but that's no reason to hold it against the excellent Corvette Racing team. This video takes inside their run at one of the greatest venues and races in North America. The fight with BMW...
