Do you wish you could cover the New York Auto Show as a member of the press, seeing the concepts and cars as they're unveiled? Have you always wanted to see what it's like to jockey for position at a dozen press conferences, fueled by coffee and the love of a good fender arch? If you think you've got the chops to do what we do every day, write us...
When it comes to modified exotics, Germany’s Anderson is one tuning firm that we wouldn’t mind unleashing on our own supercars--if we happened to actually own any, that is. That’s because Anderson’s stylists manage to add just the right number of modifications to keep its vehicles looking good without being overtly flashy...
Chevrolet's parent company, General Motors, celebrated its centennial back in 2008, but this time it's Chevy's turn, and with the 100-year mark comes a unique Corvette Z06, blacked out and on sale this summer. The package is intended to celebrate Chevy's racing history, but the Z06 is apparently already fast enough that the upgrades are almost...
When it comes to all things automotive, the luxury playground of Monaco is probably best known for its annual Formula 1 race and sheer number of supercar owners than anything else. However, we now have a new tidbit of automotive related news concerning the Principality. Confirming his commitment for more environmentally friendly solutions...
In the ongoing battle between Tesla and Top Gear, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has finally spoken, comparing the BBC’s popular automotive television program to a Milli Vanilli concert. That’s right, the music band whose Grammy award was revoked when the lead performers admitted they didn't actually sing. While speaking to The Detroit News...
Have you ever asked to speak to someone’s manager and then been approached by the boss of the whole company (in this case the regional chief)? Probably not, but that’s roughly what happened to one customer angered by delivery delays of a recently purchased 2011 Audi S4. Going by the name of Datz, a member of the Audizine forums posted...
As we first reported several months ago, BMW and its Chinese partner Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. has developed a new plug-in hybrid version of its 5-Series, revealed today ahead of its debut in just a few weeks at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. The vehicle is classed as a prototype and is based on the long-wheelbase BMW 5-Series...
The latest Concept A-Class from Mercedes-Benz is the clearest indication yet as to what the automaker’s next-generation A-Class will look like, and the good news is that the production version of this one is likely to hit U.S. shores. Revealed today ahead of its world debut at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show later this month, and then again at...
Reports came out last year claiming that the stunning new Aston Martin One-77 supercar, which is being produced in a limited run of just 77 cars, had been sold out within months and that 10 of the cars were going to just one buyer from the Middle East. While these reports later proved to be untrue, the One-77 has been a roaring success for Aston...
Welcome back to Guilty Pleasures, the weekly column lauding somewhat embarrassing cars that we shouldn't want... but secretly can't resist. We visited Japan and Detroit for the first two episodes, and now it's Italy's turn. We're going to travel back to the 1980s for this one, to revisit a now-nearly-forgotten sports sedan favored by low-level...
The Seat-built 2012 Audi Q3 will make its official debut at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, according to the company. The new smaller crossover will do battle with the likes of the BMW X1 and Range Rover Evoque. Power for the new Q3 is expected to include a 200-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo TFSI engine, a 3.0-liter diesel for Europe, and a...
The Donald is coming to Indianapolis. Donald Trump has been named the pace car driver for the 100th anniversary Indianapolis 500 and will lead the field of 33 Dallara/Honda/Firestone Indy cars to the green flag on Sunday, May 29. He'll be equipped with the new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible pace car, a 400-horsepower V-8 Chevy with a six-speed...
The Shelby GT500 already makes plenty of power, but for those who subscribe to the "too much is not enough" philosophy of life, a Super Snake post-title package is on the way--and it will boost horsepower to 800. That's not a typo. On sale May 1, the car will include a Ford Racing handling pack (dynamic adjustable dampers, lowering springs, tuned...
Most of BMW's EfficientDynamics technologies are pretty sleepy numbers: nearly-invisible aerodynamic tweaks, thermal efficiency improvements, electric power-assist systems, and the like. Some of them, however, are downright fascinating, like the future predictive eight-speed transmission detailed this week. It's not yet ready for production, but...
Ana Beatriz' wrist injury suffered on the fifth turn of the fifth lap in the Honda Grand Prix of St Petersburg will keep the Brazilian rookie out of competition in this weekend's Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on the road course at Barber Motorsports Park. Bia had surgery two days after the race and, while healing well enough, isn't ready to...
