Fresh off its debut last weekend at the 2011 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, the stunning Aston Martin V12 Zagato is preparing for its racing debut at the Nurburgring later this week.

Back in 2009 an FBI agent by the name of Fred Kingston was attempting to relocate an allegedly stolen Ferrari F50 supercar to a warehouse in Lexington, Kentucky but managed to crash the rare exotic during his short drive.

Rumors and insinuations about Mazda's next-gen rotary-powered sports car have been brewing since somewhere around the midpoint of the RX-8's life cycle. Some of those rumors were quite juicy. This one isn't. Instead, it's dry as cardboard crumbled into a cupful of soygurt. The gist of it: the RX-9 could be saddled with a hybrid drivetrain...
Lincoln was once the epitome of American automotive luxury, but the past 40 years haven't been kind to the brand. Some might argue the brand hasn't been kind to itself, existing on a diet of hand-me-down Fords and lukewarm marketing. But Lincoln, and its parent company, have been talking big about changing that of late. Enter the rumors of a...

Sadly, it looks like our reasons for optimism, slim as they were, have taken a blow: Audi's Andrew Lipman says there are no plans to bring the car to the U.S. Unsurprising as it may be, it's still somewhat hurtful to those of us that see the...
If it seems only a short time ago that the Aston Martin Rapide was released, you're not alone--and you're not wrong, either. Introduced as a 2010 model early last year, the Rapide has been on the market for less than two years. Nevertheless, the maker from Gaydon is prepping a refreshed look--or perhaps a sportier package--expected to arrive late...
There's no denying the Lexus LFA is far and away the greatest combination of engineering feats achieved by Toyota outside of its Formula 1 ventures. In fact, it uses many of the lessons learned in the sport. But for all of its technological prowess, was the LFA a waste of time, money, and effort? The question was prompted by our observations of...
