We’ll be the first to admit that when news of a new supercar from Poland first broke, we were a little skeptical about the credibility of the company behind the project and its promise to deliver to the world a brand new supercar. Since the release of the original teaser sketches, Poland’s Arrinera Automotive has now unveiled the first...
Bernie Ecclestone isn't a fan of understatement. The F1 Supremo has admitted a fondness for Hitler and for $2.9 million watches (though in his private collection, he prefers more modest, £200,000 affairs). So it shouldn't surprise anyone that Ecclestone has put in a bid for LA's most expensive piece of real estate -- or that he's buying it...
Remember Lexus’ ‘The Hard Way’ campaign that showed off the lengths that the automaker would go to in order to achieve the high levels of refinement found in each of its cars? Well, Lexus has brought out a new series of videos, this time titled ‘Engineering Amazing’, and you guessed it, the latest series focuses on...
Going a long way towards confirming previous reports that a third-pedal option would be offered on the 2012 BMW M5, at least in the U.S., this latest image reveals that BMW is testing prototypes on local soil fitted with a conventional manual transmission. The prototype was spotted in Los Angeles, California and was also seen wearing a set of...
At this past weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Honda showed off a fully customized CR-Z race car, which featured a claimed output of 200 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. However, it isn’t the only force-fed CR-Z we’ve seen in recent months. You may recall that Honda’s UK division recently teamed up with Mugen to...
The stunning 2012 Jaguar XKR-S is still doing the rounds of auto show appearances ahead of an official showroom debut later in the year, but its time in the limelight may not last that long as there’s word that several other high-performance ‘R-S’ Jags are in the works. A Jaguar XKR-S Convertible, complete with the same 550...
We’ve known for some time that the insane 1,104 horsepower Zenvo ST-1 supercar would be coming to the U.S. but now we have official availability and pricing details, as well as news that there will be a special edition launch model. The car’s local distributor, Red Sea Distribution, has announced that the Danish supercar will be...
We’ve already seen a string of concept cars and more than a dozen spy shots, but now we have an exclusive spy video of the upcoming rear-wheel drive sports coupe being developed jointly by Toyota and Subaru. In the U.S. Toyota’s version of the car will be known as the 2012 Scion FR-S, while the rest of the world may see the Celica name...
Lateral moves in motorsports are common: race drivers finish with one series (or get pushed out) and find another place to put their talent and skill to use. Despite that, it's not every day that a WRC driver whose name isn't Loeb gets to test an F1 car, but on August 5, Ken Block will get the chance at Monza. No, Block's not set to test for a...
It turns out the Delta Wing concept won't be the only experimental car to run the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans. The hyrdrogen fuel cell electrc GreenGT LMPH2 prototype racer will also join the grid next year. So what is the LMPH2? As the name suggests, it's a hydrogen-powered Le Mans Prototype sports racer. Likely to rate at least as strong as the...
In case you haven't been paying attention, Chevrolet is working hard to keep up interest in the C6 Corvette as it nears the end of its model run, introducing more special equipment packages, limited-edition models, and in-betweeners like the Grand Sport to fit every possible niche. But if you want to get into a 2012 Corvette, you'll have to pony...
Here's a little celeb news to make you smile -- or cry, or maybe scratch your head, depending on your point of view: Austin "Chumlee" Russell from the reality series Pawn Stars is now motoring around Vegas in a Maserati GranTurismo. According to TMZ, the Chumster visited his local Maserati showroom last Thursday to give the car a once-over. By the...
Infiniti CEO Carlos Tavares has hinted that the Infiniti-Red Bull sponsorship was more of a partnership, with a flow of technology and resources to pass between the two operations. Now, Sebastian Vettel has hinted at a special-edition production model to bear his name in an interview by Fast Lane Daily. The teaser is very vague: which model, which...
It's no secret that the U.S. is fonder of the three-pedal manual transmission than is the rest of the world, where dual-clutch acceptance appears to be more automatic. But does that spell the end of the true manual for the next Panamera? A report from Car and Driver says that's exactly the case, with the take rate too low to justify the cost of...
This past weekend, Chevrolet hosted the Camaro faithful in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada for the Camaro Homecoming, and chief engineer Al Oppenheiser revealed some more details about the upcoming 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Perhaps the most notable news is that the car will have an optional automatic transmission (likely a six-speed). Previously, it...
