The brand new 2012 BMW M5 is scheduled to be unveiled in just a few months at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show but a near production-ready concept version of the car, the aptly named Concept M5, was recently unveiled at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. BMW only officially revealed the concept’s exterior, which points to the styling direction the...
We’ve got the first spy shots of prototypes for the production version of the string of Toyota FT-86 sports car concepts shown over the past two years, as well as the scorching Scion FR-S concept shown at the recent 2011 New York Auto Show. The prototype, seen here testing in Germany, is for Toyota's version of the car, though it will be...
Exactly two months ago Honda’s tuning arm, Mugen (more specifically Mugen Euro), announced plans for the development of a high-performance Honda CR-Z hybrid hatch and released a couple of teaser sketches. Today, Mugen Euro has revealed its latest creation, the CR-Z Mugen, which will be making its first official public outing at July’s...
Could Audi be working on an even more extreme version of its R8 supercar, one beyond the already hardcore R8 GT? Well, it certainly looks that way following the sighting of this new R8 prototype at one of the automaker’s test facilities in Germany. BMW has enjoyed some success with its CSL range of stripped out ready-to-race M3s and...

You see, when I wrapped my sweaty palms around the wheel and put my quivering foot to the gas, I was quickly met with a horrifying image.

Mercedes-Benz is already a pillar of style on the highways, why not in the airways? After all, a personal helicopter is more of a luxurious accessory than even the fanciest automobile. Mercedes-Benz Style, the design and lifestyle arm of the automaker, debuted the EC145 helicopter at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition 2011...
We've previously spied Ford testing its new four-cylinder EcoBoost engine in the U.S., with engineers using a sporty variant of the 2011 Ford Fiesta three-door hatchback as their guinea pig. This sporty variant will be known as the Fiesta ST when it goes on sale late next year as a 2013 model. We’ll get our first taste of the Blue...
On one hand, the 2012 Ford Mustang is a capable, even sophisticated coupe or convertible with a big range of talents, including 31-mpg highway fuel economy. On the other hand, it's a tire-smoking pony car rechristened last year with new powertrains and given a jolt of throwback goodness for this model year with the return of the Boss. Mostly on...
The latest rendition of the Mercedes-Benz SLK arrives in showrooms this year, revamped from stem to stern, and more finely honed as a performance rival to the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z4. More performance and more features in the new edition help the 2012 SLK to a rating of 8 out of 10--pending the arrival of any AMG hotness headed our way in the...
Cadillac is billing the upcoming ATS as a true BMW 3-Series fighter, but a new report from GM Inside News suggests the program is in the middle of a crash diet. According to GMI, the ATS and its Alpha platform are suffering from mission creep--meaning that more vehicles and product attributes are being added to the program, which alters some of...
Online configurator tools are a good way for those who can't afford a high-end car to at least dream about it in a tangible way, without entering a showroom and picking up a brochure. Curious about which color you want for your dream Aston Martin Virage? Well, you can see for yourself, right on your computer screen. Aston Martin has put...
