It's still almost a year from reaching production, but the 2012 BMW M6 has been captured once again in testing by our spy photographers. This one is thought to packing up to 600 horsepower from a tuned-up version of the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 found under the hoods of the X5 M and X6 M and the 2012 BMW M5 unveiled last month, and could...
There are many arguments in favor of the dual-clutch gearbox over the traditional three-pedal manual. They're quicker on track, and easier to drive on the street. But even though they're able to take one more driver-dependent element out of the equation, they're not completely foolproof, as this video proves hilariously. Staged at the tree against...
Television personality and comedian Jay Leno is one the very lucky buyers of the McLaren MP4-12C, and it turns out that he’s actually a little bit luckier than most as he’s just been given a tour of the McLaren Technology Center in Woking, England, where the car is built, and taken out an example on the famous Top Gear test circuit...
Back in February we first reported that millionaire heiress and socialite Paris Hilton had received a brand new 2012 Lexus LFA for her 30th birthday from her boyfriend at the time, Cy Waits. Since then, we’re sad to report--holds back laugh--that the relationship is now over. It turns out that Hilton really did love the LFA, just not the...
Ferrari has made little secret of its plans to introduce an environmentally-friendly hybrid model, even going so far as to unveil a concept version of its new gasoline-electric hybrid system, dubbed HY-KERS, last year. Now it appears that the Italian automaker is testing the first prototypes for its future hybrid model out in the real world...
We don’t know of too many Audi R8 owners that would allow an unlicensed driver, let alone a child, to drive their pride and joy, though this video shows there’s at least one of them out there. The clip is of a 11-year old boy in the UK hopping behind the wheel of the right-hand drive Audi R8 supercar and then proceeding to hoon it on a...
The current generation Honda CR-V has been on sale since 2006 and is starting to get a little long in the tooth. Not surprisingly a successor in the works for the 2012 model year, two prototypes of which have been captured here by one of our spy photographers undergoing hot-weather testing in California’s Death Valley. With the new 2012...
Right now the fastest production car in the world is the hyper exclusive--and hyper expensive--Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which is capable of a top speed of 268 mph. The previous record holder was the less refined yet still very capable Ultimate Aero from America’s own Shelby SuperCars (SSC), which itself stole the record from the original...
The 451 horsepower of the regular C63 AMG Coupe not enough for you? Well, luckily the tuning gods at AMG have thought about this because they have worked a more powerful engine into the stylish C-Class Coupe and have slapped their infamous Black Series label on the car. The end result is the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series, which...
If there's a poster child for the rise of the rugged-lux SUV craze that lasted through the '90s and into the '00s, it's arguably the Jeep Grand Cherokee. While a few models like the Range Rover had already combined tough off-road ability with a luxury-car cabin ambiance and room for five, Jeep hit just exactly the right balance to get Americans to...
Richard Petty once said, "The best you can do on any given day is to put yourself in a position to win and let circumstances dictate the outcome." Well, 'The King' pretty much nailed how Ryan Newman took the checkered flag at Loudon, NH on a very hot Sunday afternoon. Prior to Sunday's Lenox Industrial Tools 301, Newman's season was like a day at...
