Jaguar has already done a lot to celebrate its 75th anniversary, which took place back in September. We saw several special edition models launched as well as a number of iconic vehicles from the marque’s past rolled out in a special tour in the UK, plus we got to see the stunning C-X75 concept car that highlights Jaguar’s future, but...
Here’s something you don’t see every day. The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is selling his 1977 Peugeot 504 to help raise funds for charity. The car is being sold in an international auction and all funds will go to help the Mehr housing project, a charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. The...
Last year GM was planning to introduce the Holden Commodore Ute--a two-door version of the regular four-door sedan but with the rear chopped off and replaced with a tray--to the U.S. market as a Pontiac GT Sport Truck but for several reasons, namely money problems and CAFE, the plans were scrapped. The Commodore Ute, however, has lived on in its...
The Essen Motor Show may not be as well recognized as some of the other major shows on the international automotive calendar but the event has had its fair share of spectacular concept cars over the years. For those unfamiliar with the Essen Motor Show, it is an event held annually in the German city of Essen and is a hotbed for the local tuner...
About a year ago we brought you reports that Ford was considering a revival of the European Capri, a sporty coupe model that dates back to the 1960s. Those reports claimed that the new Ford Focus would eventually spawn a successor to the Capri in the form of a new coupe that could be on sale by the start of 2012. Ford has previously flirted with...
The Sesto Elemento concept car unveiled back at September’s 2010 Paris Auto Show may not have been the preview of the Murcielago replacement that we had all been hoping for but it was enough to get our heart rate jumping, even if only a concept. Well, that last part may not be entirely true as the brand’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has...
Subaru's Impreza concept knocked socks off at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show unveiling, and though it doesn't look all that characteristically Subaru, it certain looks good. This CGI video offers a much closer, more detailed look at the car, though you'll have to endure some rather annoying world music. Check out our previous story for the full...
As fans of everything fast and mid-engined, we're always anxious to hear news of the revival of the Honda/Acura NSX. Sure, the last V-10 version of the NSX abandoned the mid-engine configuration for a frontally-located mill, but the big power and impressive performance were still tantalizing. Now rumors have re-emerged that the NSX will get a V-6...
The 2011 Saab 9-4X made its official debut at last week's Los Angeles Auto Show, and in case you missed it--it looks pretty much exactly like we all expected it to. What's unusual, however, is how Saab is pre-selling the crossover: buy an iPad from a Saab dealer to hold your place in line, and get a $500 credit when your vehicle shows up. It's far...
A Maserati SUV? Why? Considering Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW already have theirs, perhaps the better question is, why not? That's the way Sergio Marchionne looks at the matter, at any rate, according to an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Calling the Jeep Grand Cherokee "a great architecture," Marchionne asks rhetorically, "Why wouldn't...
Spy shots confirmed its existence earlier this year, and now we have the official photos and details: the Audi RS3 Sportback is going to production. Sharing an engine with the Audi TT-RS, the RS3 Sportback extracts 340 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque from its 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo. Despite the brawny boost buggy status, it still...
