Earlier this week we saw spy shots of a prototype for the next-generation MkVII Volkswagen Golf, which is expected to be launched late next year as a 2013 model. Today we have spy shots of a prototype for the sporty GTI model, in this case a three-door variant undergoing hot weather testing in the extremes of California’s Death Valley. We...
UPDATE: It turns out the Ferrari F40 supercar that was crashed in Houston, Texas last week may have been driven to its death by a mechanic and not the actual owner. We say death, as the $500,000 Ferrari is believed to be a write-off as its frame has been damaged. The worst part is that the owner, away in Europe at the time, bought the car brand...
We’ve already seen race bred versions of the Aston Martin Vantage designed for the GT2 and GT4 competitions but now Aston Martin and its racing division, Aston Martin Racing (AMR), have unveiled a new GT3 version. Based on the V12 Vantage production car already in showrooms, the new Vantage GT3 race car will serve as the replacement for the...
We first saw the 2012 Audi A8 Hybrid back at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show but at the time Audi was short on details and coy about when the car might be launched. We can now confirm that the A8 Hybrid is set for sale next year, complete with its four-cylinder and electric motor hybrid combo and gas mileage of 36.75 mpg (European combined cycle figure...
In the early part of last year BMW confirmed it was working on a new front-wheel drive model to slot in below its current 1-Series and compete with the likes of the Audi A1 and next-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Now, just one year onwards, we have new spy shots of a prototype for this entry-level BMW, which could go by the name 1-Series Gran...

The upcoming 2012 Buick Verano may be based on the same platform underpinning the humble Chevrolet Cruze, but its maker boasts the car will offer one of the quietest cabins on the market when it hits showrooms towards the end of the year. That’s certainly a plus in the luxury sedan segment, and importantly, the Verano is claimed to be...
If you want to buy a brand-new Ferrari 458 Italia, the price of admission starts at $225,325, and that’s before you begin adding options. On the other hand, for $89.99, plus the cost of an Xbox 360, the Forza Motorsport 4 video game and a high definition television set, you can now enjoy the next best thing. Thrustmaster, the PC and game...
It’s hard to put a value on a vintage Porsche 911S, since so much depends on condition and originality. The book value for a 1970 Porsche 911S, loaded with factory options, numbers-matching, and with 112,400 miles on the odometer, is around $55,000. That’s a bit misleading, however, since any used car is worth what a buyer is willing...
Bugatti may be best known today for its Veyron supercar, but in the 1920s and 1930s, Bugatti was one of the world’s great race car constructors. Its Bugatti Type 35 and its variants, built from 1924 through 1927, racked up over 1,000 race victories, at one point winning some 14 races per week. Though built as Grand Prix race cars, Bugatti...
