Motorsports and ecology aren't exactly hand-in-hand concepts. Getting the most speed out of a car usually involves pumping a lot of fuel through it--just to end up back where it started. To improve the green image of racing, many series are taking steps to use greener fuels--and now NASCAR is among them, with Sunoco Green E15 fuel on the docket...
We've professed our love for Forza Motorsport 3. We've gabbed about its beauty and how the graphics look true to life. And now, we have news of an even better version, Forza Motorsport 4. Due in the fall of 2011, the new game will sport even better graphics, more cars and new gameplay modes including a special Top Gear feature and the ability to...
It's widely recognized that the Reventon Roadster is the final evolution of the Lamborghini Murcielago platform so it’s not surprising to see this new prototype for the car’s replacement undergoing testing. This new Lamborghini will have some tough competition when it arrives as there are new supercar models in the works at rival...
What many may not know, Nissan and Mitsubishi have been working together for the past several years, mostly overseas, sharing components and whole vehicle platforms. The two currently have several OEM agreements for vehicles in the Japanese market, including for minicars and commercial vehicles. Today, Nissan and Mitsubishi have announced that...
The 166 was a premium executive sedan built by Alfa Romeo between 1998 and 2007 and was roughly the same size as a BMW 5-Series, one of its main rivals. A replacement for the Alfa Romeo flagship is currently in the works and is due in the next couple of years. Donning the 169 title, or possibly a non-numerical name, as has been Alfa Romeo’s...
Ford’s Australian division has released an official teaser sketch of its second-generation Territory SUV, which is set to be released next year. While this particular model won’t be sold in the U.S., its styling may very well feature on models arriving in local showrooms in the near future. Featuring the latest take on Ford’s...
Caterham's range of ultra-light track cars have been extremely popular amongst driving enthusiasts in the UK and certain other markets such as Italy, Japan and the U.S., and for good reason. The cars represent a much more simplistic approach to racing, with a no nonsense design and purity that most modern track cars could never emulate. One of...
Last month we reported on a new online tool developed by BMW to help promote the arrival of the all-new X3 SUV and featuring a special built-to-order program that allows customers to create a vehicle built to their exact specifications. BMW has now got television personality Martha Stewart to accept an invitation to design her dream 2011 BMW X3...
With the release of models like the Clubman and new Countryman crossover, there are fears that the MINI brand is treading away from what its very name reflects, mini cars. Heck, even its smallest model, the MINI Cooper hatch is nearly double the size of the original 1960s models, an issue BMW development chief Klaus Draeger pointed out recently...
The Lancia brand may be relatively unknown here in the U.S. but we got a taste of it back at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show last January where we saw a Lancia Delta hatchback rolled out wearing a Chrysler badge (pictured above). That was just a preview of what Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne had planned for Lancia; essentially to cross-share products...
The classic statement of the price of road racing: "How do you make a small fortune in racing? Start with a large one." The truth of that statement is what has given it such legs, but Mazda and Honda hope to overcome the high hurdle to entry-level road racing with their newly-formed B-Spec series. A new take on Showroom Stock racing crossing...
We're quite familiar with the 2011 Audi A7 by now, having seen the car in official guise back in the summer, and at most every show on the circuit since. The latest ad spot for the A7 casts the four-door coupe in a wholly different light, however. In what can only be described as a trippy 62 seconds, Audi delves deep into some disturbed designer's...
Chrysler's model lineup hasn't changed much yet, but its cars are showing a new attitude and a new aesthetic. The latest image, revealing the interior in broader scope than before, leaked onto the web today. Just last month at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the automaker pulled the wraps off the 2011 Chrysler 200 and 2011 Town & Country...
Bonhams auction house this weekend sold The King's 1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 at Mercedes-Benz World near Weybridge, Surrey, U.K. for a price of $187,390 including the buyer's premium. Elvis Presley's former super cruiser will now reside in Germany--a homecoming, of sorts. Presley owned the car, a powder blue Salon Limousine model, for two years...
The Hyundai Veloster will be coming to the 2011 Detroit Auto Show according to officials at Hyundai's Technical Center in Detroit. These photos give us the first official look at the car ahead of its global unveiling, though it's still clad in camouflage much like the cars we've previously spied in testing. Today, we have further details on the...
