We've already seen a sketch of the 2011 Mopar Charger, and now Dodge has released details and a handful of photos. The Mopar Charger will be powered by the 370-horsepower, 395 pound-foot 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, and the engine comes equipped with a specially-tuned controller that matches maximum engine power and the transmission's shifting to the...
We’ve already seen race bred versions of the Aston Martin Vantage designed for the GT2 and GT4 competitions but now Aston Martin and its racing division, Aston Martin Racing (AMR), is developing a new GT3 car. Based on the V12 Vantage production car already in showrooms, the new Vantage GT3 race car will serve as the replacement for the...
All the details and images for the new 2012 Audi A6 have been out for a while now but there are still several variants apart from the regular sedan still in the works, though not all have been confirmed for sale in the U.S. These include the high-performance S6 and RS6 models, A6 Hybrid and possible all-electric 'e-tron' variants, as well as a...
Earlier this week Chrysler made a cryptic announcement that it would unveil a new strategic partnership, a new production car, and a new "race-inspired" project car, with both vehicles to be on display at the New York Auto Show. Today, Chrysler let the race-inspired project out of the barn, and with it, the strategic partnership with...
Our muscle cars are all middle-aged. The Mustang turned 45 back in 2009, and will be 50 before we know it. Now, the Camaro is throwing its own 45th birthday bash with the 45th Anniversary special edition. Fortunately neither the Camaro nor the Mustang are growing soft around the middle as they age: the 45th Anniversary Edition package, available...
They certainly are a creative lot over in Sweden. Not only have we enjoyed some oddball yet innovative designs from the likes of Volvo and Saab over the past several decades, but in more recent times we’ve also seen some whacky creations from some of the country’s smaller design firms. Most notably are the creations of design and...
There's nothing wrong with a completely stock Land Rover Range Rover Sport. It's one of the most luxurious, capable on- and off-road performance SUVs available, and in supercharged trim it’s able to give some sports cars a run for their money. However, the fact that it’s so good in stock form just means a platform for craziness for the...
If you own a new or certified pre-owned Infiniti, the automaker now has a new app designed for the Apple iPhone that will help get you out of trouble should you have engine problems, get a flat tire or run out of gas. Infiniti has collaborated with Cross Country Automotive Services (Cross Country) to introduce a free roadside assistance app for...
On the surface, the respective MINI and Rolls-Royce brands appear to be worlds apart; one sells small, relatively affordable hatchbacks targeted at hip youngsters, while the other is steeped in tradition, costs a fortune to own and is all about big, brazen sedans oozing luxury. Delve a little deeper, however, and you’ll notice they have much...
The parent company of Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, has signed a deal with automotive parts supplier Bosch to expand their long-standing partnership and cooperate in the development and production of electric drivetrains that will eventually feature in a number of new production models. The two industry giants have signed a letter of intent and begun...
Sketches, spy shots, and speculative factoids have swirled around the 2012 Audi Q3 for years now. Today, we have the official info ahead of its official debut at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. Straight to the oily bits: the 3,307-pound Q3 is powered by a trio of four-cylinder engines at launch. The only diesel available at launch is a 177-horsepower...
The Nissan GT-R is no slouch even among cars costing twice its price or more. It's also a very large car in relation to much of its competition. But it's dwarfed by the HPE1000 Hennessey twin-turbo Cadillac Escalade paired up with it in this video. Even worse: it gets outrun by the 6,000-pound behemoth. It's just a 0.1-second margin between the...
We just got the first official details and images of the Lexus LF-Gh concept this morning, and now we have video of the car in action for you. There's not much going on beside some moderate-speed cruising, and there's almost no exhaust note to speak of. Though there's definitely some sound beyond tire and wind, it's hard to tell if it's coming...
