Legendary for its sports-racer trackday cars, U.K. motorsports firm Radical has finally made a venture into the road-legal cars with the SR3 SL, unveiled today. Power comes from a 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost four-cylinder, rated at 247 horsepower--the same as the engine fitted in the upcoming Ford Focus ST. But Radical doesn't stop there--they add...
Subaru, a company whose reputation is built around a symmetrical all-wheel drive system, will be bringing a new concept car to March’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, one with a rear-wheel drive layout. The latest revelation is no big surprise as we’ve known Subaru has been working on a new rear-wheel drive sports car with Toyota for some time...
We already know that the Dodge Viper will return in the summer of 2012 as a 2013 model, packing a brand new engine and a softer and more forgiving chassis. However, apart from those tentative details there’s not too much else known about the latest generation of Chrysler’s homegrown supercar. We now have a few more details from the man...
BMW currently builds the X3, X5 and X6 models at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina but in the future we could see even more of the German luxury autos built in the U.S. According to a report coming out of Germany, BMW is considering building its staple 3- and 5-Series models in the U.S. as well. The news was reported by Frankfurter...
As we all know the Chrysler brand has been in axed in Europe, with its cars continuing to be on sale across the Atlantic but wearing Lancia badges instead. We’ve already reported on the new 2011 Chrysler 300 being sold in Europe as a Lancia Thema and now we have news that the mid-size 200 will also make it to Europe, with Flavia its most...
It’s hard to believe that the Ariel Atom has been around for 10 years, but it has, and in honor of reaching that milestone Ariel has partnered with Mugen to develop a special edition of its stripped-out roadster. Only 10 of the new roadsters will be built, each powered by an uprated version of the highly-strung Honda K20A engine that powered...
There's nothing wrong with a little friendly ribbing, but Audi has been known to get right up in BMW's and Mercedes' faces with its ad campaigns. The latest, a 60-second spot for the Super Bowl, does it artfully, if less obviously. Based on the 1947 children's book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, the commercial goes through a litany of good...
The 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible had been expected to make its appearance at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show earlier this week, but when the dust settled, it was nowhere to be found. Some of our Italian cohorts have solved that problem, however, leaking a full gallery of images of the car. The 200 Convertible loses the roof and with it much of what...
The 2012 Chevy Camaro Z28 has already overcome a very rocky road to get the production greenlight, and now we have almost another full year to wait before any of us will get our hands on one. Better late than never, though, eh? We've been awaiting a launch date for the Z28 since talk of its production solidified last June. As we've waited, we've...
Daimler's distress over the dismal Maybach brand is apparently growing, with Dieter Zetsche saying all options are on the table, including getting rid of Maybach altogether. The news isn't surprising, especially on the heels of news late last month that Aston Martin might be tapped to design and build future Maybachs. Maybach's sales figures have...
Size does matter. Sometimes, anyway. It definitely matters when you need to haul around six of your favorite people, and the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is one of the few ways to do it in luxury and style. That style is soon to get an update, as our spy photographers have snapped these images of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class in winter testing...
Ford factory WRC driver Mikko Hirvonen and much of the world rally team was on hand in Birmingham, U.K. today for the unveiling of Ford's new Fiesta RS WRC entrant, set to take the place of the current Focus for next year's championship.

Production American supercars can be counted on one hand, and with the death of the Viper, all of them are Corvettes. But Ford may be getting back into the game with a new version of the Ford GT, according to the altest reports from the Detroit Auto Show. In an interview with Derrick Kuzak, Ford's chief of global product development, Automobile...
