Automotive pairings with luxury fashion labels is nothing new but typically we see the more exotic and prestigious models get the designer fashion treatment, such as this Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès or the awesome Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versace editions. The latest collaboration between automaker and fashion house, however, sees the...
We’ve had a pretty good idea as to what the upcoming BMW i8 supercar, the production version of 2009’s Vision EfficientDynamics concept car, would look like thanks to the reveal of the original concept and subsequent prototypes. Then, just this week, BMW announced its eco-focused ‘i’ sub-brand and confirmed the i8 name for...
When it comes to solutions for sustainable mobility of the future, drivetrain technology is only one area being investigated in the effort to make cars more environmentally friendly. Other areas include reducing vehicle weight, developing navigation software to predict fuel efficient routes and cultivating more fuel efficient driving skills...
Aston Martin’s engine lineup is currently limited to a range of bespoke V-8 and V-12 powerplants, developing upwards of 750 horsepower in some applications. However, just a few years ago the niche British automaker was selling cars fitted with more mundane six-cylinder engines. Such an engine was last seen in the DB7, which was offered with...
Kia is going after the popular Scion xB and Nissan Cube with its own ‘box on wheels’ compact in the form of the 2013 Kia Tam, which is expected to go on sale next year and has been spied for the first time testing in prototype form. These spy shots were taken in the colds of Northern Europe and reveal a conventional boxy hatch design...
At the 2010 Paris Auto Show back last September Chevrolet rolled out a hatchback variant of the Cruze, which despite being called a concept was always destined for sale in Europe and the Asia-Pacific later this year and already looked production ready. Today, less than a week out from its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the production version...
The annual Geneva Motor Show has always held a special place on the calendar for German tuner Brabus, with previous shows being graced but such outrageous feats of tuning like this trio of modified SUVs back in 2009 and this custom Mercedes-McLaren SLR Roadster in 2008. At this year’s Geneva event, Brabus will once again be showing off its...
It's hard to believe that it's been more than a year since the MINI Coupe and Roadster concepts were unveiled in Frankfurt. Production is already gearing up, however, and today we have some new spy shots of the upcoming 2012 MINI Roadster in testing, this time in barely disguised form. Previous reports had pinned a fast-track to production on the...
Stoked about the new 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8? Well, wait no longer: this video walkaround gives you the best look at the car yet, plus a bit of an idea of the hands-on experience. Sure, there are some rough edges in the video, just as there are in the car--the water dripping from the exhaust tips in the opening engine-revving shot, for...
A history that includes Parnelli Jones, Trans-Am racing, and one of the largest escalations in the muscle car arms race is just the tip of the iceberg with the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302. This gallery will give you a sample of what it's like in person. A top speed of 155 mph, over 1.0g of lateral acceleration, 440 naturally-aspirated horsepower...
Morgan, famed for its wood-framed transport and modern retro-themed designs, is getting back in the game for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, this time with a three-wheeled conveyance powered by a nose-mounted V-twin engine mated to Mazda five-speed gearbox. The power is sent to the rear wheel by a V-belt, and the design remains a classic...
This is, without doubt, the best Ferrari FF video yet. Revealing its interior, engine note, and showing it hammering at speed in almost every condition imaginable. Would you drive flat-out through a snowbank? Ferrari does. The official footage also shows the car bombing down dirt roads, flogging rainy blacktop backroads, and even cruising through...
Wagon fans, rejoice: all is not lost, at least not at Saab. Even as other carmakers kill off or write off their wagon models for the U.S., the 9-5 SportCombi is making new waves. It will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Based on the same gear, available in the same trim levels, and offering roughly the same performance as the 9-5...
