During a recent interview the boss of AMG, Ola Kaellenius, revealed a few details about the brand’s upcoming models including its most important launch of next year, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. Speaking with Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport, Kaellenius revealed that the Roadster version of the SLS AMG would make its world...
The race cars of the FIA GT1 series are some of the most impressive machines on four wheels this side of a fully fledged Formula One car, and one of the best of them is the Maserati MC12. It’s hard to believe but the car has gone on to earn a fifth Drivers’ title and a sixth Team’s title in the international FIA GT Championship...
The 2011 Geneva Motor Show is still a few months out but already the first trickle of product launches are starting to be either previewed or revealed. The latest is a brand new minicar from Kia called the Picanto. Designed as a rival for the equally small Toyota iQ, the new Picanto will go on sale in Europe in the second half of next year and may...
If you were thinking this psychedelic paint scheme on this Tesla Roadster looks familiar then you would be thinking straight as the design is very similar to the one on BMW’s own art car revealed back in June. However, the Tesla is the latest creation of artist Laurence Gartel who transformed the all-electric Roadster into a piece of art for...
The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon made the cut for TheCarConnection's Best Car to Buy 2011 competition, though the new Hyundai Sonata passed it for the top honors. But with an overall score of 8.5 out of 10 riding on last year's TSX sedan, we're expecting great things from the Sport Wagon in our first drive tomorrow. This week, we're getting our...
Looking more like something out of the Grand Theft Auto series of videogames rather than real life, a 17-year old Ohio driver took police on a wild chase, smashing through local highways in a stolen dump truck. The teen managed to continue his rampage for a total of 52 miles, carrying two younger occupants with him for most of the chase. In the...
The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon arrives in showrooms soon wearing a base price tag of $30,960, not including destination charges. The Sport Wagon shares most of its basics with the TSX sedan, which showed up to this year's 2010 Los Angeles auto show with some new spiffs of its own. But while the TSX sedan has an entry price of $29,610, the TSX...
Earlier this year reports came out claiming that the upcoming Aston Martin One-77 supercar, which is to be produced in a limited run of just 77 cars, had already been sold out and that 10 of the cars were going to just one buyer from the Middle East. While these reports later proved to be untrue, the One-77 has been a roaring success for Aston...
It’s now been more than a year since the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR went out of production but at the recent 2010 Essen Motor Show, basically Germany’s version of SEMA, a new version of the striking supercar was unveiled. Well, that is not entirely true as the car rolled out in Essen, carrying the “McLaren Edition SLR”...
Though Toyota bailed on Formula One is less-than-graceful fashion, the company's motorsport division has remained, and is now seeking to apply its hard-earned knowledge to a Le Mans Prototype for the 2011 season. Partnering with Rebellion Racing for a Lola-chassis racer, Toyota Motorsport has already conducted initial testing with Rebellion in...
Just a week after the automaker issued a recall on most of its 2011 lineup because of engine stalling issues, Volvo has announced yet another major recall, this time due to faulty seats. The recall affects certain 2009, 2010 and 2011 model year S40, S60 and V50 vehicles, as well as some 2010 and 2011 model year XC60 crossovers. The affected...
So you're keen on going green, but can't be seen in some rinky-dink sedan or quirky hybrid hatch? Porsche has your answer in the form of the 2011 Cayenne S Hybrid, today announced to qualify for a $1,800 tax credit from the federal government under its Alternative Motor Vehicle Tax Credit program. To get the credit, you'll have to snap up a...
So you thought near-3.0-second 0-60 mph times were solely the domain of uber-turbo all-wheel-drive boost buggies? Think again: the New Stratos, based on a shortened and highly customized Ferrari F430 platform, scoots to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds. That's a dead heat with the Corvette ZR1, and the New Stratos does it without the aid of...
You already know all there is to know about the Hennessey Venom GT, but if you're like us, you need no excuse to spend some time taking another look at the car, complete with commentary by Jay Leno and creator John Hennessey. Especially not when it includes a look at the car's as-yet largely unseen engine bay, interior, and dynamic wing. The...
The new 2012 Ford Focus is already under early production here in the U.S. in both sedan and hatchback form, but Ford is ramping up its three-continent, 120-market production push for the rest of the world starting with the Saarlous Assembly Plant in Germany. The punchy Focus ST variant won't enter production in Germany until early 2012, however...
