The just-ended silly season talk was all about former F1 world champ and current WRC driver Kimi Raikkonen going back into F1, but today the tide has turned in a most surprising direction: NASCAR. Multiple reports are citing a Finnish newspaper interview with Raikkonen, who states he'll be joining the NASCAR Truck series before graduating to...
Porsche's Panamera has taken a lot of heat and received a lot of praise for its unusual looks. Its performance, however, has been almost universally impressive, and soon, it could get even more ferocious. The Turbo S variant of the Panamera may be coming as soon as the end of this week. Reports from Germany to Romania to Italy are all talking of a...
The last we heard, the next-generation Cadillac CTS would be ditching the current model’s Sigma platform in favor of GM’s new Alpha rear-wheel drive platform in an endeavor to shed weight and pick up the latest technology. However, such a move allegedly would have ended the chances of the redesigned CTS spawning a replacement for the...
Here’s a clear example of what not to do when your luxury SUV gets stuck in the mud. After refusing the help of a truck driver whose vehicle can clearly tread through the mud safely, the driver of this modified Porsche Cayenne proceeded to floor the throttle in vain hope that his luxury SUV would gain enough traction to pull itself out of...
Remember the special edition ‘Frozen Gray’ BMW M3 launched in the U.S. last year? The one that sold out in just 12 minutes? Well, China has now received its own matte-painted special edition M3, also built to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first M3. Like its U.S. counterpart, the Chinese special edition M3 was also sold out...
Porsche is soon to launch its next-generation 911 and as can be seen by these latest spy shots, prototypes for the car appear to be almost complete. Shown in the least camouflage and from the closest distance yet, the new 911 looks to be just as its predecessors have been: a variation on the classic theme, with some modern tweaks. But just as the...
We’ve previously brought you spy shots of a prototype for the new 2013 Cadillac ATS small sedan, which is expected to bow in late next year as a direct rival for the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3-Series. Now we have a new video of another prototype captured whilst testing at a GM track in Michigan. Small cars and Cadillac...
Back at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show Lexus unveiled a modified version of its new CT 200h that was prepared by the guys at tuning firm Five Axis. Now, just a few weeks out from the 2011 New York Auto Show, Lexus has announced that another, more highly modified version of the luxury hybrid hatchback will be unveiled. The new car is being prepared by...
F1 star Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he will be making a cameo in the new Cars 2 movie from Disney Pixar, revealing via his Twitter page that he’ll be appearing as the McLaren MP4-12C supercar. Hamilton posted on Twitter: “Hey guys, big news--I'm going to be in Disney Pixar's Cars 2! Take a look at my car... This is...
BMW released an updated version of the 1-Series Hatchback in late 2008 but ever since then suspicious prototypes of a new car with similar proportions and signature BMW styling have been captured running around the south of Germany, and now once again at the notorious Nurburgring. The current 1-Series has often been criticized for having a back...
Call it whatever you like--the apple-bottomed sedan, the Quasimodo, the "Gran Turismo," the not-quite-a-hatchback four-door coupe-ish thing appears to be here to stay. In BMW's case, it may even spawn a whole new model line, if the latest rumors out of Germany prove correct. The car known so far as the 3-Series GT may bear a new badge: the...
The North Loop. The Green Hell. The 'Ring. It's known by many names, but all of them serve to call out one of the greatest racing and testing circuits in the world: the Nurburgring's Nordschleife. Today, the team behind the James Glickenhaus Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5 Competizione posted a video of the one-off track car soon to become an endurance...
There's no denying the simple, elegant statement made by a sleek black sports car. Porsche took a stab at celebrating that fact by holding a photo contest for its Black Edition cars, and the results are stunning. These are the eight winning photos from the contest. The "photos" were taken through a unique web interface that allowed users to...
Can you imagine a future--thirty-nine years from now--where there are no engines humming, no exhaust smells, no car sounds of any kind in the city except the presumably Jetsons-like beeping of EVs? The European Commission, the governing body of the European Union, can, and it has a transportation proposal aiming to do just that by 2050. Keeping...
The Middle East is being pulled apart by internal strife, gas prices are going decidedly upward, and there's still no clear solution to any of it. Rolls-Royce and the United Arab Emirates aren't worried by all the unrest, however: the Brit hyperlux brand has just opened its largest showroom in Abu Dhabi. Spanning a massive 9,687 square feet, the...
