Your chance to own a piece of automotive history will take place this August at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Auction company Gooding & Company will be selling what’s believed to be the very first production Bentley, a 1921 Bentley 3-Liter with chassis number 3. Bentley originally built two experimental cars with chassis...
The leaks are finally over, and the official details and images are here.The 2012 BMW M5 is real, and it's pretty impressive on paper. Power comes, as expected, from BMW's twin-turbo V-8 M TwinPower engine, rated at 560 horsepower at 6,000-7,000 rpm and 502 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 rpm. BMW calls the power delivery "lag free." All that...
Project Kahn is back with another creation inspired by the Audi R8 supercar, this time 'round with a new styling pack designed for the Audi A5 Cabriolet. We first saw this design with Project Kahn’s package for the TT, which not only borrowed the R8’s bumper design but also its iconic side blades. Given the A5 Cabriolet’s missing...
For the lucky few mortals on this planet who happen to own a Pagani Zonda, your prized possession is almost certainly destined to go up in value. However, we’re not sure if that applies to this Pagani Zonda C12 S Roadster finished in a light pink hue. The car’s former owner is Mr. Yeo, the founder of a supercar importer based in...
These are the latest spy shots of the upcoming 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG luxury convertible. Sporting less camo than we've ever seen before, the details of the car's body are becoming much clearer, with many of the performance modifications visible despite efforts to hide them. Most notable are the larger air intakes, cross-drilled and larger...
Drifting defines adolescent ridiculousness, yet we can’t get enough of it. The style of driving--if you can call it that--requires a driver to intentionally over steer, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. Let’s just say, it’s a lot easier said than...
The 2012 Nissan GT-R has only just come onto the market, bringing with it a more powerful engine and a string of handling mods that guarantee the car reliably dishes out 2.9 second 0-60 mph times and can lap the Nurburgring in a smoldering 7 minutes and 24.22 seconds. However, sources in Japan have now confirmed that a more powerful version is set...
Update: The official details on the 2012 BMW M5 are out. Click here to view our latest post. Though it isn’t set to make its official world debut until this September’s 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the new 2012 BMW M5 has hit the Internet by way of a leaked report and is already starting to strike terror in the hearts of AMG and RS fans...
Tony Stewart and Lewis Hamilton just finished their Mobil 1-sponsored car-swapping exhibition at Watkins Glen International, with Hamilton taking the wheel of Stewart's 850-horsepower, 3,400-pound NASCAR Cup car, and Stewart driving Hamilton's 760-horsepower, 1,411-pound McLaren F1 car--and they both had to do it in the rain. Stewart's used to an...
Even before the 2012 VW Beetle was unveiled in New York this year, we were hearing rumors that the Golf R would spawn a Beetle R variant. Now it looks like those rumors could bear fruit as early as this September. Of course, the car we'll see in Frankfurt--if indeed we see it at all--will likely be a "concept," near-production ready but perhaps...
You might think the Alfa 4C Concept would be the primary attraction here, and for the U.K., it probably is, as this is their first look at it. But for us, the vintage race cars Alfa is bringing hold just as much ocular excitement. In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Juan Manuel Fangio's 1951 F1 world championship, Fangio's own Alfa 6C 3000CM...
We've already brought you our official 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class preview from the unveiling in Stuttgart, plus a gallery of high-res pics and a video, but since you didn't get to attend the unveiling, you might want to check out this video. What can you expect? A sampling of the typical unveiling: a hyper-dramatic entrance (complete with a live...
The webs are ablaze with talk of the next BMW 1-Series and 3-Series coupes being re-branded as 2-Series and 4-Series, further differentiating the already fine-grained model lineup at BMW. Trouble is, it's not really news. Back in October, we reported on the 1-Series/2-Series switcheroo, and followed up on it last month with talk of the M2...
Daimler's Maybach brand is potentially on the chopping block as of July 1, but reports out of the U.K. are hinting that it may just survive the inquisition. The first of the rumored Aston Martin-Maybach co-designed cars is said to be due at Frankfurt this September. Obviously, if Maybach is to get the axe on July 1, the concept can't happen--or at...
There's been no shortage of coverage of the Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione as it preps for the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring, but until now, detailed shots of the completed car's inner workings have been scarce. That's remedied in the videos below. With the body off, the camera looking into the cockpit, and various systems undergoing tests, these...
