Roger Federer just lost his bid for the crown at Wimbledon in the quarterfinals after a five-set loss to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, but that doesn't make his time spent in the 2012 SLS AMG Roadster any less interesting--mostly because it doesn't matter who's in the driver's seat. Cruising (or flying) top-down on a 571-horsepower V-8 AMG product is an...
Current Rolls-Royce customers may not be warming to the idea of an electric sedan but that hasn’t stopped engineers at the luxury British marque from continuing work on its 102EX electric prototype based on the Phantom. During its initial public unveiling at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show back in March, Rolls-Royce said the prototype will test...
To celebrate its recent win at the recent 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi is releasing a limited run of custom R8 supercars based on the entry-level V-8 model. The only problem is that all 100 units planned will be sold exclusively in the UK. The special edition models will be called the Audi R8 V8 Limited Edition and will only be offered as a hard-top...
The 2013 Dodge Viper, the third iteration of the iconic American supercar, is on track for a debut early next year, most likely at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The information was revealed recently by Ralph Gilles, the new head of Chrysler’s standalone SRT performance division and current design chief for the entire Chrysler group. Gilles has...
We already have a pretty good indication as to what the third-generation 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class will look like following the unveiling of the Concept A-Class back at the 2011 New York Auto Show, but now we have a new round of spy shots revealing just how much of the stylish concept will actually make it to production. Looking very much like...
In order to compete with the brand new 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class arriving next year, BMW will launch a facelifted version of its 7-Series, which has been spied testing in prototype form. As can be seen by these latest spy shots, BMW is leaving its flagship sedan relatively unchanged. That’s because most of the changes planned will be taking...
If you thought Senna was the only movie centering on the life of a Formula 1 legend being released in recent times, think again. A new biopic about Austrian driver Niki Lauda and his epic battle--which he ultimately lost--with British driver James Hunt in the 1976 Formula 1 World Championship is about to start filming, and we can now reveal that...
Toyota has issued a voluntary recall on certain models of its Lexus RX 400h luxury hybrid crossover as well as the car’s corporate cousin, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The recall affects only the 2006 and 2007 model years so we’re talking about the previous generation cars here. According to Toyota, the Intelligent Power Module (IPM)...
It’s bad enough that Audi is yet to confirm its latest Q3 compact crossover for sale in the U.S. but now there’s word that a possible high-performance ‘RS’ variant complete with a 300 horsepower version of the same engine found in the highly anticipated TT RS is planned. According to reports coming out of Germany, the...
Hot hatches traditionally do well in Europe but here in the U.S. don’t fare so well, at least if past trends are anything to go by. That’s unlikely to be the case with the latest 2011 Volkswagen GTI, which comes packing a punchy turbocharged engine, sharp handling characteristics and an optional dual clutch gearbox. The GTI badge alone...
While there are many that like to discredit the Mazda MX-5 Miata as being a little soft, when you look up the Guinness World Record for the world’s “best selling two-seat sports car” you’ll see this humble roadster. Mazda was onto a winning formula when it devised plans for the original MX-5 Miata launched all the way back...
The current Mercedes-Benz B-Class has enjoyed reasonable success in most of the markets it has been launched in, selling over 120,000 units in its first year alone, but the next-generation model due later this year is expected to sell in even higher volumes and will be sold in the U.S. for the first time, though probably not until sometime in...
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises will feature a Lamborghini Aventador, likely as the Dark Knight's personal vehicle. The images of the car (more at the link below) were snapped by a Lamborghini fan during filming in Los Angeles. The photo above speaks for itself, but it also shows off a color we haven't seen on the Aventador before--a sort of muted...

A bevy of electric car owners took to California's famous Laguna Seca this past Sunday to wring out their rides at the 3rd annual ReFuel EV race. The yearly event is to allow engineers, designers and every-day owners of electric vehicles to test their vehicles' mettle on one of the most famous racetracks in America. For engineers and designers...
