The last we heard, Fisker had delayed the U.S. launch of its Karma plug-in hybrid luxury sedan yet again, this time until July, but now the company has come out and announced that it’s already hiring for its next major project. Back in 2009 Fisker acquired the rights to a former GM plant in Delaware, a plant that was previously responsible...
What’s the perfect addition to this $240,000 Bugatti inspired desk? Why, a $25,000 Ferrari office chair of course. These beauties are the creation of RaceChairs Performance Furniture, a company offering an assortment of lifestyle accessories including leather and Alcantara clad office chairs, as well as carbon fiber wine bottle holders...
Aston Martin has joined forces with French fashion label colette to produce the special edition ‘Cygnet & colette’ minicar, which will be produced in a limited run of just 14 examples by the careful hands at the Aston Martin Works Tailored division. This is Aston Martin’s ultimate personalization service and has been...
The future of driving, in major cities at least, is looking more and more likely to be done by high-tech computers rather than actual people, at least if the latest breakthroughs in self self-driving vehicle technology mean anything. Internet search engine giant Google has logged some 140,000 miles with its self-driving Toyota Prius fleet and Audi...
The stunning Aston Martin V12 Zagato is set to tackle the notorious Nurburgring-Nordschleife this weekend during the thrilling Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance race, but you can get a preview of the sights and sounds of the car at the famous track right now. Aston Martin has released a new video showing the pair of V12 Zagatos that will be competing...
Our super sleuth spy photographer has captured the first test mules for a new roadster model from Jaguar, a car many think will be called the XE (there’s a chance it may also be called the F-Type). Note that this is not an actual prototype for the car but rather just its running gear, which has been installed inside the makeshift body of the...
Joining the assortment of fully fledged race cars and hyper-expensive supercars at this weekend’s grueling Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance race will be this very cute 2012 MINI John Cooper Works Coupe race car. Based on the recently revealed 2012 MINI Coupe, this racing version picks up an ‘Endurance’ tag in its title and several...
For fifteen consecutive weeks, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has tackled various speedways across the country, starting off at Daytona and most recently competing at Michigan. After dropping the hammer and turning left for four months, drivers and teams will not only turn left, but they’ll also go right--literally. Infineon Raceway plays host...
Lincoln's naming scheme might not be the most descriptive--or the least confusing--but the MKZ is one worth getting to know. New in 2009, the MKZ isn't a game-changer, but it is good enough on the whole to score 6 in MotorAuthority's overall rating. Available with a 263-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine, the MKZ is powerful enough to be...
An all-new Ford Focus is on deck for the 2012 model year, making the 2011 Ford Focus the last of its generation, which started in 1999. Just one drivetrain option is available, only as a sedan, and no updates or changes have been made from the 2010 model year. Accordingly, MotorAuthority rates the 2011 Focus at just 4 out of 10. That single engine...
After a decade of seeing the batshit Impreza WRX on the streets of North America, the idea of a fast, goofy-looking, four-wheel-drive Subaru seems pretty normal to all of us. This was not the case in 1985, when Subaru introduced the (somewhat) fast, goofy-looking, four-wheel-drive XT. "What the hell is that thing?" asked American car shoppers...
As GM notes in its release, hot rodding and efficiency aren't fish-and-chips friends. So a project to create an greener hot rod that can still drop the hammer is an interesting, even admirable idea. Whether GM has actually achieved that with its GM Performance Parts E-ROD 1955 Chevy Bel Air is open for interpretation, however. Rating 23 mpg on its...
Formula 1 legend and Lotus driver Nigel Mansell helped christen the newly restored test track at Group Lotus' Hethel, U.K. headquarters today. His 1981 Essex-Lotus 81B F1 car was on hand for the first laps, as were a handful of other Lotus race cars. Race cars like the current F1 Lotus-Renault car, several Evora GT race cars, the 1980 Type 88...
The Goodwood Festival Of Speed is known to be a haven for British car culture, and what's more British than the former front man of the UK's greatest contribution to rock and roll owning an Italian car? Wait, what? Yes, that's right, Sir Paul McCartney once used his wealth to purchase a 1967 Lamborghini 400GT 2+2. This rare bird was imported to...
Almost anyone, upon hearing the description of this 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado for sale on eBay, will ask themselves and anyone within earshot, "Why?!" The owner, however, asked what may be the better question: why not? The twin-engine Toronado claims IndyCar roots through builder John Gorman, and it sports a total of 850 cubic inches in...
