Ever since the reveal of the Concept Gran Coupe back at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show it was obvious BMW was never going to leave its striking concept car sitting idle. The almost production ready look and feel of it suggested that a showroom appearance wouldn’t be far, which turns out to be accurate as prototypes for the production Concept...
Small cars really don't have to be so boring and banal, and Ford has nailed that point home with its all-new 2012 Focus. The 2012 Ford Focus is an entirely new, more exciting-looking vehicle inside and out—now either a sharp four-door sedan or curvaceous five-door hatchback.

Tesla is attempting to burn up the Internet with material on its 2012 Model S sedan, and it's largely succeeding. As we've noted before, it needs to to keep interest in the brand in the interim between the Roadster's cessation and the start of Model S production. This video serves as a bridge between the two, showing both driving together for the...
Audi's four-wheeled shark, the 2012 R8 GT, gets some more detailed coverage and spends some time with former F1 driver and Le Mans-winning Audi endurance racer, Emmanuele Pirro, in this final pair of R8 GT Week videos. Along the way, we get some great shots of the R8 GT in action. We also get a closer look at some of the work Audi put into the R8...

[Warning: strong images ahead] The days of a death every month, or nearly every race, as during racing's storied but deadly heyday of the 1950s and 1960s, are well behind us, thanks in part to F1 legends like Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda who pushed for safety initiatives that have changed motorsports into a much safer activity--spurred by Lauda's...
Want to know what a 563-rear-wheel-horsepower 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 looks like? Here's your answer. Devised by the evil geniuses at Hennessey Performance Engineering, the HPE650 supercharged Mustang Boss 302 is estimated at about 650 crank horsepower, hence its name. As you can see from the video, the Hennessey grew don't look to have gotten...
In this footage of Tommy Milner testing the Corvette Racing C6.R at Mid-Ohio ahead of the last round of the American Le Mans Series, we get an unusual and very cool chance to see the track from the driver's perspective. Unlike your typical on-board shot, the helmet-mounted camera here better conveys the g-forces, bumps, and raw speed of a serious...
Next year, starting in January, the U.K.'s National Motor Museum will host the largest exhibition of James Bond movie cars ever assembled. Some of the highlights include the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 from Goldeneye, the 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III from Goldfinger, and the weaponized 2002 Jaguar XKR from Die Another Day. Whether you're a fan of the...
