Porsche may be getting ready to jump into the executive limo segment with a long-wheelbase version of the Porsche Panamera, due to hit the streets early next year, according to a report. Whether it's slated for worldwide sale or a China-only run is unknown. The possibility of a special long-wheelbase version for China makes good sense--BMW makes a...
Yesterday we saw pricing information for the high-performance 2012 Maserati GranTurismo MC, and now we have details for the more luxurious 2012 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport. Pricing for the big convertible, which comes with an automated folding soft-top, will start from $146,300 here in the U.S., making this the most expensive car ever...
Earlier this year Ferrari announced a new seven-year free scheduled maintenance service for its cars that was to be offered to anyone purchasing a new California, 458 Italia or FF, regardless of how many miles they racked up. Unfortunately, Ferrari’s U.S. division had yet to announce the program for local owners, that is, until now. Ferrari...
It may be the last week of the month but Fisker has come true on its promise of delivering the first of its new 2012 Fisker Karma range-extended electric cars by the end of July. The very first car went to Silicon Valley-based investor Ray Lane, who just so happens to be Fisker’s Chairman of the Board. His particular Karma is a ‘Silver...
The redesigned 2011 Audi A8 has been on sale for a while now, winning hearts across the country with its unique blend of clean styling, precise German engineering and surefooted quattro all-wheel drive system. As the fourth generation of the flagship A8 sedan, the latest model offers an all-new look and a range of updated technology. But what it...
Audi recently gave us a preview of its next-generation human-machine interface technology, dubbed MMI in Audi-speak, which included more advanced hand-gesture recognizing touchpads that can supply palpable signals and feedback. Well, Mercedes-Benz is also whittling away on its future telematics and interface technologies, details of which we have...
The global financial crisis of the recent past appears to be well and truly over, with sales of luxury cars once again at record levels. Yesterday we saw Daimler announce record profits on the back of strong demand for its Mercedes-Benz brand and today we have news that Ferrari has sold the most cars ever in its entire history, with a total of...
He may be a Formula 1 legend himself but nothing prepared David Coulthard, current DTM pilot and recently appointed brand ambassador for AMG, for his hot lap around the Nurburgring-Nordschleife by current Mercedes GP driver and ‘Ring rookie Nico Rosberg. Yes, despite being a German native, Rosberg reveals in the clip below that this is his...
The 2011 Infiniti G37 Coupe and its G37 Convertible sibling are two of the most stylish vehicles at the more affordable end of the luxury car segment. In fact, they are two of the best looking vehicles on the current new car market. Starting at a tad over $37k, the G37 Coupe is the performance model of the two, while the G37 Convertible, which can...
Aston Martin's first four-door has been a universal hit with press and owners alike. That's a stellar achievement for a first try, but then you might expect such on-the-money success from a brand that has been building some of the finest sports cars in the world for most of a century. MotorAuthority has driven the Rapide and classes it as it's...
Billed at its introduction in 2007 as "the ultimate luxury sports car," the Aston Martin DBS has seen few updates over the past four years, but nevertheless manages to hang firmly with the latest collection of high-end hardware on both looks and performance--though it costs as much as three or four times the price. MotorAuthority appreciates the...
It's not really car-related, but since it uses the 5.6-liter V-8 from the Infiniti QX56, we find the company's plan to build a boat around the big engine pretty interesting. So far, Infiniti has done little more than reveal it's working on the project--but there's some special stuff in store. Working with the students at a local community college...
Just yesterday we tempted you with our exclusive news of a supercharged Challenger and Charger from SRT, both sporting eight-speed transmissions. Today, Sergio Marchionne says the 2012 Charger and Chrysler 300 V-6 models, when equipped with the eight-speed, will achieve 31 mpg. That's not quite as cool as an extra 100 horsepower, but it's pretty...
To truly bring the fight to the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the 2013 Lexus GS will have to deliver on performance, style, comfort, and, for many, efficiency. In Europe, at least, that means an available four-cylinder diesel. According to the latest reports, Lexus is planning to do just that. We here in the U.S. won't likely see such a...
