This gruesome and saddening image is the result of a 22-year old allegedly trying to show off to passersby in a black Lamborghini Murcielago. The accident took place early on Sunday morning at an intersection on a major roadway in Sydney, Australia. It is believed that the vehicle was driving along the city's busy Parramatta Road when it crossed...
Today, roughly 50% of the world's population lives in urban environments, and by 2030, the figure is expected to hit 60%. This presents an interesting challenge for automakers: given the hassle of car ownership in cities -- not to mention subways, buses, and other transportation methods available there -- how will car manufacturers keep selling...
One look at the image above says it all. The driver of this Lotus Exige is probably not in the best of moods despite having survived a potentially life threatening crash on the notorious Nurburgring, a track often nicknamed the ‘Green Hell’. This latest video, which shows the before and after of the actual crash, illustrates just how...
A hotted up ‘R’ version of the Volkswagen Polo, essentially a smaller version of the U.S.-bound Golf R, has been rumored to be in development for more than a year. Volkswagen has consistently denied such a model, maintaining that it would prove too costly for buyers in the compact car segment. However, we recently got the biggest...

The current 1-Series has often been...
With its latest generation 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan, Chrysler decided to launch several different variations of the car, each aimed at a very different target market. The hero of the lineup, the Hemi-packing 300 SRT8 (which is actually a 2012 model), is aimed at the luxury and performance end of the market, while the 300S is for the style conscious...
While the modern-day musclecar movement rages on unabated--with Camaros, Mustangs and Challengers nipping at each others' heels--the Chevrolet Corvette keeps picking its own fight with substantially more expensive Porsches and Ferraris. The 2012 Chevy Corvette doesn't bring much change with it, as the car winds down operations in its sixth...
Performance enthusiasts love to have their cake and eat it, too. Which usually means gaining more power while also improving fuel efficiency. Chevrolet is aiming to do just that with the 2012 Camaro, thanks to a new cylinder-head design for the V-6 engine. The new design will bring together key components in a move that Chevy says will increase...
Saab's future may or may not be in jeopardy, and that's a shame, because if the brand disappears, we won't see creations like this hopped-up 9-3 wagon anymore. Some crazy Swedish tuners took a crashed Dodge Viper SRT10 and turned it into the Saab 9-3 SRT10 MegaPower. The builders had planned on rehabbing the Viper back to normal, but due to the...
