If you haven't seen the many crash images of sports and super cars split in half by the sheer force of their high-speed accidents, you're probably bit less morbidly fascinated by the topic than we are. Today's incredible (and incredibly stupid) crash isn't morbid, however. It's fantastically lucky. According to the Italian publication Il Secolo...
The Lotus Elise, once one of Lotus' only two production cars, is now the last of its former breed. Today it gets a new Club Racer variant, due to debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Taking the philosophy that gave the company legendary status (if not blockbuster sales) to even greater extremes than the standard Elise, the Club Racer shaves pounds...
Audi has fired off its latest offensive in the world of automotive mobile technology, revealing this week its new A8 flagship sedan fitted with a broadband Internet connection. While this is nothing special, the connection is based on the newer LTE mobile connectivity standard. Developed in collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent, the car’s mobile...
Later this year a four-cylinder BMW engine will return to the U.S. in turbocharged formed, first in the 2012 BMW X1 sDrive28i and eventually the 1 and 3-Series models and even the Z4 Roadster. However, overseas, BMW has been selling a number of four-cylinder engines for some time now, both in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms, as well as...
Audi has already revealed its new A6 Hybrid, using last month’s Detroit Auto Show to present its latest-generation A6 range as well as the hybrid model. However, while the regular A6 lineup will hit showrooms later this year as part of the 2012 model year influx, the new A6 Hybrid isn’t due for a year or more after that. Here we see...
In the same week that Porsche unveiled its own in-house developed electric Boxster E, one of the automaker’s longtime tuners, Ruf, announced plans for its own trials of a small fleet of electric Porsche 911 prototypes. Ruf is probably most widely recognized for its wild modified Porsches such as this previous V-8 powered 911 and the...
We already know that Toyota will be unveiling an updated version of its FT-86 rear-wheel drive sports car concept at next month’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the aptly named FT-86 II, which we saw a teaser of last month, but now the Japanese auto giant has confirmed several other world premieres. We can also reveal that the upcoming show will be...
Can’t stand the wait for the all-new 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to hit dealerships? Well, New Jersey’s SLP Performance may have just what you’re looking for. The tuning firm has already developed a modified version of the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS and is calling the car a ZL1. The biggest surprise, however, is that Chevrolet is...
The Boca Raton Concours d' Elegance held annually in Florida has become a high-profile, national automotive event. Now in its fifth year, the Concours celebration is promising a lineup which is sure to be better than ever. That’s because two of the most anticipated cars of the year, the upcoming Ferrari FF and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster...
The pint-sized terror that is the Volkswagen Golf24 endurance race car hits the track and wails, over the top of an operatic soundtrack, in this brief video. We want more. At 440 horsepower, with all-wheel drive, and enough fins to give a shark a heart attack, the Golf24 is mean on paper and in looks. We think it's going to be pretty mean on...
You might not think Jaguar--at least not first--when you think about luxury car brands, let alone luxury brand service. But you should. The brand with the leaping cat has scored a place among the top 40 companies across 20 industries as the leader in automotive customer service. It's no surprise to either Jaguar or J.D. Power (nor likely Jaguar...
We brought you some of the first photos and details to hit the Web on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, and now Mercedes has followed the first volley with an official video detailing the new two-door. Unfortunately you'll have to translate from European, as everything is described in standard units, rather than our familiar mpgs, etc.
It's time to gear up for another season of racing. We know we are, and now Corvette Racing is, too, with the first episode in this season's Track To Street series. The big change for this year? Paddle shifters. Now legal in GT2, the paddle-shift setup requires a lot of setup work to handle the sequential gear box not just quickly, or properly, but...
Fresh from its "preview" in "concept" form at the Detroit Auto Show, the 2012 Honda Civic is here, and it looks pretty good. It also offers the all-important 40 mpg in two trims--HF and Hybrid. The entire 2012 Civic lineup is more efficient, but it's the HF and Hybrid that headline: the 140-horsepower HF scores an EPA estimate of 41 mpg highway...
The 2011 Geneva Motor Show is fast approaching, and with it, the latest supercar from Lamborghini: the Aventador LP700-4. From its carbon monocoque chassis to its 700-horsepower output, it's pegged as the best Lambo yet. And now it's on high-quality video. Posted to YouTube by Autogespot, the video looks more like an inside job than anything else...
