Insiders at GM have been pushing for it, previous reports have hinted at it, Singaporeans got a looks-only version of it, and we've been covering it. Today, talk of a real, high-performance Cruze SS has resurfaced--this time, out of Australia. According to the report, the car could be on the road in just a little more than a year. Holden, makers...
The recent 2011 Amelia Island d’Elegance has proven to be a boon for classic car fans, both sellers and buyers. We already reported on a 1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico Vignale Coupe that went for a record $4.3 million, and we also saw a parade of classic Mercedes-Benz models at the Florida event. Now we have news of a very special 1971 Lamborghini...
The brand new 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan has made its debut but the model we’ve all been waiting for, the high-performance 300C SRT8, won’t be around for at least another a year. Today we have new spy shots of the car testing in prototype form on the streets of Michigan, revealing a few subtle details we can expect on the latest muscle...
This is the aftermath of a crash involving a Bentley Continental GT, a soccer player’s wife and a very slippery stretch of road. Driving along a street in St. Petersburg late last week, Marina Malafeeva, the 36-year old wife of the goal keeper of Russian soccer club Zenit St Petersburg, lost control of her vehicle. She slid at high speed...
It looks as though Japan’s earthquake crisis won’t hamper deliveries of Nissan’s long-awaited 2012 model year GT-R supercar. As we all know the facelifted 2012 Nissan GT-R is substantially quicker and more powerful than the outgoing model, as well as being greener, and we can’t wait to get our hands on one. We had...
About a year ago we reported on BMW developing a new family of modular gasoline and diesel engines that will include a three-cylinder variant and eventually go into some 1.5 million BMW and MINI models annually. BMW has now revealed that the engines will feature its latest ‘TwinPower Turbo’ technology in order to ensure that any car...
Automakers have been working closely with electronic component suppliers over the past couple of years in order to develop a new generation of low cost navigation and infotainment systems designed for both vehicle and personal use. Harman International previously confirmed plans to supply a portable GPS navigation system for use in Mercedes-Benz...
We've been tracking the progress of the Jim Glickenhaus-backed Ferrari Pininfarina P4/5 Competizione closely as the car prepares to run the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring, including bringing you the second episode in the car's official documentary. Today, we have yet another video, this time with Glickenhaus himself talking about his motivations and...
The Shanghai Auto Show may be stealing much of the hybrid limelight, but Lexus won't be letting the concurrent New York Auto Show go to waste: a new hybrid concept car, the LF-Gh, will be on display. We don't know yet exactly what the LF-Gh might be, however. Some are speculating that it'll be a hybrid GX SUV, but a few minutes of thought makes...
There's a new Goldilocks super tourer at Aston Martin, and it's called the Virage. Smaller than the flagship DBS and sportier than the DB9, the Virage is positioned for broader appeal. We'll let you know just how successful the Virage is with our first drive review later this week. In the mean time, enjoy this official footage of the Virage...
The profile. Those B-pillars! Your eyes may never recover. This 2003 Cadillac CTS Sedan certainly won't. But some unlucky soul may just end up owning the sawzall-bred monstrosity you see above, as it's up for sale on eBay Motors. According to the seller, pamanajack (no apparent relation to the similarly-spelled brand of cheap sunglasses) this is a...
Do you think you have what it takes to beat a pro racer at a video game? See for yourself what it will take, as Tommy Milner, driver for the real Corvette Racing team, turns a hot lap at Laguna Seca in a simulated C6.R GT1 car with the aid of a D-BOX chair--and no driving assists enabled. Countersteering, four-wheel drifts, and plenty of...
The Spada Codatronca was, almost, the Ferrari FF--four years before the FF came to be. No, it wasn't a Ferrari, and it didn't have all-wheel drive, but it was a long-backed super tourer packing 600 horsepower. Now it's getting a new edition--an open-top model called the Monza. Unlike the FF, the hardtop Codatronca TS's extended rear wasn't a...
