After seeing the Dodge Avenger rally car prototype hit the gravel hard, we were left wishing it would one day see competition. Unfortunately, that model was just an exercise. The 2012 Avenger R/T, however, is very real, and will be on display in New York this week. Offering an upgraded, stiffer suspension, 283 horsepower at the crank of its...
We’ve seen plenty of pace cars in the past, including a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG serving for duty. However, we’ve never seen a car this expensive doing the rounds before. We’re talking, of course, about the 2012 Lexus LFA supercar, a V-10 race car built for the road that retails for $375,000. The Lexus flagship was picked as the...
Last week we saw the first purported leaked stats on Porsche's uber-GT3, the RS 4.0, and today, an image has followed via the same enthusiast forum. We can't verify the shot's authenticity, but it certainly looks legit. Along with the image comes a handful of new details, including painted carbon fiber hood and trunk panels, riveted RSR-style...
Just two days before the 2011 New York Auto Show opens to the press, Audi has launched an eye-popping marketing campaign for its sleek, sophisticated 2012 A7. Today, the five-door coupe will roll straight into Times Square -- not literally, since cars are forbidden in the pedestrian center of town, but onto a high-tech billboard. The...
Since its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show back in March, Mazda has been hinting at production of its attractive Minagi compact crossover concept. And today, just a couple of days out from the Minagi's North American debut at the 2011 New York Auto Show, Mazda has confirmed that the production version of the concept car will be called the CX-5...
It's still almost a year from reaching production, but the 2012 BMW M6 has been captured in testing by our spy photographers, this time out on the German autobahn. And it may be packing up to 600 horsepower from a tuned-up version of the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 found under the hoods of the X5 M and X6 M and recently revealed Concept M5. Previous...
After more than a decade a replacement for the ‘New Beetle’ has finally arrived, making its world debut initially at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show and then again at the 2011 New York Auto Show just a couple of days later. The latest car drops its New tag and is just called the Beetle, or 2012 Volkswagen Beetle if you want the complete...
It’s always interesting to see what cars the people who get to drive virtually everything buys for their own personal collections. And the hosts of Top Gear--Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond--have probably driven the most varied assortment of autos: Everything from high-end supercars to rust-buckets costing a few hundred...
Fans and enthusiasts of the conventional manual gearbox have likely lost another round in the battle being waged by automakers to phase out the clutch pedal in more and more cars. The latest casualty is the 2012 Cadillac CTS, which in 3.6-liter V-6 guise is said to be no longer offering a six-speed manual transmission as an option. With the 2011...
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce, or SV for short, is the last in the line of Murcielagos, set to be replaced later this year by the new Aventador LP700-4. It is also the fastest of the Murcielagos, with a top speed of 212 mph, 208 mph if you opt for the $10,000 ‘low-speed wing’ option, and has been built in a run of just...
Nissan is combining two very different elements from the automotive world for its latest concept, which is set to debut this week at the 2011 New York Auto Show. Described as ‘Purpose-Built Prototype’, the all-new Nissan Leaf Nismo RC essentially wraps the zero-emissions drivetrain and technology of the production 2012 Nissan Leaf with...
While it isn’t the high-performance M6 we’re all waiting for, the latest M Sports Package for the recently revealed 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe does give the dynamic luxury two-door an even sportier look thanks to some distinct M styling cues. Though we’ve only seen spy shots of prototypes before, this time the car has been fully...
Another image of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu has been published ahead of the car’s official Web reveal pegged for the night of Monday the 18th by--believe it or not--GM’s own media website. The latest image shows the Chinese market edition of the new sedan, though this car is virtually identical to the U.S. market version we saw leaked...
