The 2011 Geneva Motor Show is knocking on our door, due to kick off press days in just a week. The latest early arrival is this shot of Lamborghini's Murcielago-replacing Aventador LP700-4, in naked rolling chassis form. If the new chassis looks decidedly familiar in shape, it's for good reason: the Aventador won't be a groundbreaking design. It...
We can finally confirm that the production version of 2009’s BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, set to go on sale in October of 2013, will go by the name ‘i8’ and head a range of new eco-focused vehicles from BMW. BMW yesterday announced its new ‘i’ sub-brand focused on developing sustainable mobility solutions has...
It looks like the Ferrari California ‘Race 606’ won’t be the only modified supercar from Ferrari tuning experts Novitec Rosso at next week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The German tuner has now rolled out its new performance upgrade for the exhilarating Ferrari 458 Italia, delivering an output of 609 horsepower--39 more than...
Porsche is now less than a year away from launching its next-generation 911 and as can be seen by these latest spy shots, prototypes for the car appear to be almost complete. Earlier this year we brought you spy shots of the latest prototype for the 911 Carrera hard-top, and today we have new shots of the 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. We first...
With the death of BMW's M5 V-10 engine, Wiesmann recently made the jump to another BMW powerplant: the twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V-8 found in BMW's own cars--including the beefy 555-horsepower M variant. One of the two engines will be under the hood of the Spyder concept announced by the company for unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show in just over a...
The best non-news of the day comes from Buick: the 2011 Buick Regal Turbo is flex-fuel capable, meaning it can run on either E85 or gasoline. We're not terribly excited (E85 still isn't all that common in most places), but we are looking forward to the first pure ethanol tune. The E85 capability means that, with typical production-car overhead...
Jaguar is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the E-Type this year, and the 3D gurus at Vizualtech have put together the Growler E 2011 to honor it. While inelegantly named, the Growler E does justiec to the E-Type's looks, melding them with more modern themes and cues to deliver a car we wouldn't mind seeing built. According to Vizualtech, the...
First shown at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, the GMC Granite concept offers a GMC-branded take on the "urban" lifestyle, not unlike the Scion xB or Kia Soul, though it has its unique features, like the suicide rear doors--a feature that will reportedly make it to production. The latest report comes by way of Motor Trend, which cites a "well-placed...
In this duo of videos, we get our first look at the 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid in action. As expected, it looks every inch the standard Panamera--poised, fast, and capable--but with the added benefit of a hybrid drivetrain. When the Panamera hybrid was revealed last week, we took a comparative look at its pricing and performance relative to...
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is no stranger to diesel power, though the last we saw it here in the U.S. was in 2008. Unlike the previous Daimler-sourced unit, the next diesel in the Jeep Grand Cherokee will be built by VM Motori. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll be getting it here in the U.S. this time. Chrysler today officially announced the...
Governments around the world, including Canada and the United States, have issued travel warnings for Bahrain over the past week, citing violence in the streets and a threat of terrorism. Today, Formula 1 met the threat with a decision to cancel its season opening Grand Prix. According to the Bahrain International Circuit, which hosts the Bahrain...
