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. Now, at...
A very special Corvette Z06 will be up for sale at this month’s Barrett-Jackson vehicle auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car is a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, which was built to commemorate the classic American supercar’s inaugural appearance and victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 50 years ago. In honor of that anniversary, the...
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s official teaser sketches of the new 2012 Kia Rio comes this latest set of spy shots of the upcoming hatch, caught testing ahead of its world debut scheduled for March’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Like the smaller Kia Picanto, which will also be making its world debut in Geneva, the new Rio has been designed...
To all our American readers, you’re looking at a preview of the next-generation Ford Escape, and to all our European readers, this is likely to be your next Kuga. Whether either of these vehicles will carry over their current names is still up in the air but if they look just half as good as the new 2011 Ford Vertrek Concept, Ford will have...
The new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK isn’t scheduled to make its debut until the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March but the first official details and images have already hit the Web. Set to go on sale this summer, the third-generation SLK will come onto the market with a bold new look, more fuel-efficient engines and a host of technological...
The U.S. set to fall in love with a whole new generation of minivans, ones that fit into a smaller segment than we’re used to, and ones with a little bit of European flair. Of course, we’re talking about the new 2012 Ford C-Max, which made its North American debut this week at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Based on Ford’s global...
The BMW X1 compact luxury crossover has been on sale in Europe and other parts of the globe for more than a year now but the car is still nowhere to be seen in the automaker’s single biggest market, the U.S. The X1 was originally meant to be launched around now as a 2011 model but its arrival in U.S. showrooms has reportedly been pushed back...
The celeb-studded Mercedes-Benz "Tweet Race to the Big Game" is about to get underway, with the four two-person teams and their "coaches" chosen. Using Twitter as some sort of "fuel" they'll race to reach Dallas, Texas for the Super Bowl. Fans of each team stand to win prizes for their participation on Twitter, including a VIP trip for two to the...
If you love speed, you probably love the Bugatti Veyron. Sure, it's been eclipsed by the SSC Ultimate Aero TT and its own Super Sport variant as the world's fastest production car, but the original 253-mph Veyron is still no slouch. The next Veyron will be even faster. How much faster? About 17 mph faster, according to the latest rumors. That...
A few thousand bucks for the price of a driving school is small beans compared to the purchase price of a new Corvette, Grand Sport, or Z06. But if you're new to the world of high-power performance cars, it could be the best few grand you ever spend. Except now you can get the school for free. The Corvette Driving School, previously only included...
If you're salivating over a limited-edition luxury performance vehicle easily capable of triple-digit speeds, four-second zero-to-60 times, hand-made engines, and serialized production—the likes of the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG or Aston Martin DB9—insurance premiums could prompt you to think again about signing on the dotted line. But...
Understated, simple, even plain. Audi's design themes--outside of the S and RS lines, at any rate--are often a bit sleepy, but they're always tight, clean, and sleek. The 2012 Audi A6 is no different, winning recognition from the EyesOn Design award at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The 2012 Audi A6 won the award for "Best Production Vehicle,"...
The new twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 making its way throughout AMG's 2012 lineup is a beast: 544 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque with a performance pack upgrade that can kick things up to 571 horsepower and 664 pound-feet. But AMG is looking at stripping the turbos off and running with natural aspiration, according to a new report. Why would...
We know you've seen the photos and read up on the details of Buick's new compact luxury sedan, but if you weren't in Detroit, you didn't get to see the unveiling as it happened. We've got you covered. The flash and bang is all done with pretty quickly, followed by a detailed description of the car by vehicle line executive Jim Federico, complete...
BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer has previously revealed that future BMW powertrains will be downsized in an effort to improve fuel-efficiency and reduce emissions, and that even the hallowed ‘M’ division could also be affected by the new wave of environmental consciousness sweeping the automaker. The standard 2011 BMW 5-Series was recently...
