Last year Maserati managed to move 5,675 cars from its dealer lots all across the globe but in the future the company will be hoping to sell nearly 10 times that level. That’s the promise of Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne who has told reporters that he’d like to see Maserati lift its annual sales to around 50,000 units. Ignoring...
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced it will be investigating oil-cooler leaks on 2005 and 2006 Lotus Elise sports cars, of which there are roughly 4,400 units in contention. The investigation was called after owners complained of oil leaking onto the right rear tire of their cars, causing handling problems. The...
The 2012 Maserati GranTurismo MC, the fastest production car ever unleashed on the U.S. market, is now ready for sale and we can confirm today that it will list at $143,400. This price includes $1,800 in shipping charges and a $1,700 gas guzzler tax, and it’s right in line with the $146,300 asking price for the similarly endowed 2012...
We’ve just witnessed the respective Le Mans and Nurburgring 24 hour races but this weekend we will be treated with yet another prestigious 24 hours endurance race, the Spa 24 Hours race at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. One of the teams competing this year will be Black Falcon, which will be fielding a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3...
We’ve seen plenty of supercars go up in flames in the past, including this black Lamborghini Gallardo that recently caught on fire outside a McDonald’s restaurant in Norway, and now we have yet another sad tale of a Gallardo that caught alight, this time in the Highlands of Scotland. According to the driver, the bright blue Gallardo...
The annual Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance is a place for all things luxury and automotive and we can’t think of anything that fits the bill more than this 24-karat gold Ferrari 250 GTO sculpture that was created by Swiss artist Dante. The sculpture will coincide with a special display of 20 rare Ferrari 250 GTO cars which the...
The parent company of Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, has posted a record net profit of $2.5 billion for the second quarter of the year, smashing most estimates and increasing by almost 30 percent on the same period a year ago. The astounding results were mostly on the back of increased demand for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, with the luxury brand managing to...
BMW is hard at work developing its next-generation 3-Series, prototypes of which have been spotted testing around the globe for the past couple of years now. Already we’ve seen prototypes for the regular 2013 BMW 3-Series sedan, the first of the new line, as well as its Touring wagon sibling plus a new Gran Turismo model and 3-Series...
Known to many as the brand of James Bond, and to others as one of the legendary sporting marques of Britain's automotive golden age, the Aston Martin name evokes something different in every one, but its cars evoke the same thing in all: passion, desire, and envy--unless you're the one behind the wheel. The 2011 Aston Martin DB9 comes with the...
When it first burst onto the scene in 2008, the BMW X6 caught the world off guard. Is it an SUV/coupe? A high-riding four-door coupe? And what is it for? While some of those questions might still be unanswered, the more important question has been answered clearly and resoundingly: is it any good? Yes, it is. Very good. MotorAuthority rates the...
The 2012 Hyundai Azera has been out for pretty much all of 2011--in its home market of South Korea, under the name Grandeur. We'll be getting the U.S. version of the car at this fall's 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, the company announced today via Twitter. The announcement is unsurprising--for a U.S. 2012 model-year launch, Los Angeles is the last...
Despite saying it has three new models in the works, Saab has delayed payments to its white-collar employees, and that could spark rumors that the company is once again teetering on the brink. Funds that were committed by investors were not paid in time, which has caused delays in paychecks. Saab says it is doing what it can to obtain the funds...
You've no doubt already absorbed all of the key details and specs of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series, and pored over its photos, too, but today we have a fresh set of images from the live unveiling of the car at the Night of the Stars. In addition to the red car shown in the first official images of the car, there's a white version...
