The Nissan Leaf NISMO RC concept is an intriguing look at the (very likely) inevitable future of motorsports, though the day we're all talking in volts, amps, and kilowatt-hours instead of horsepower and fuel capacity may yet be a few decades off. This computer-generated video gives us a clearer idea of what that future may look like.
When it comes to James Bond’s choice of ride, an Aston Martin usually springs to mind. However, in celebration of the release of ‘Carte Blanche’, the new James Bond book by Jeffery Deaver, on May 26, it’s Bentley that’s risen to the challenge of releasing a special commemorative version of the book. The 500 limited...
The Honda Civic is a stalwart in the auto industry -- a car with a legendary lifespan, a reputation for reliability, and a slew of loyal owners. Despite decades of evolution, however, there's one thing that the Honda Civic generally isn't: exciting. Honda is hoping to change the Civic's image with a new campaign for the 2012 model, and the...
This past week saw the respective Shanghai and New York auto shows take place in successive days, but just a few days prior to those two major automotive events another very important auto show was taking place, the Top Marques Monaco 2011. Described as the only auto show dedicated to the premieres of supercars and luxury models, the Top Marques...
The movie may have been before your time -- way before your time -- but chances are pretty good that you can hum a few bars from the theme song of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The popular 1968 musical featured Dick Van Dyke, Benny Hill, and an Edwardian-styled car that also served as a boat and an airplane. Now, after 43 years, Chitty is rolling out...
The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition has already made its debut but apparently there are a host of other upgrades planned for the 2012 model year that will be applied to the rest of the Corvette range. The information was revealed by a dealer source who spoke recently with Inside Line. The source revealed that both the 2012 Chevrolet...
We’ve already seen plenty of spy shots of the next-generation 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class but in this latest round of shots we have a prototype fitted with the new AMG Sports Pack destined for the upcoming luxury SUV. This isn’t the high-performance 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG spied earlier. The AMG Sports Pack is essentially a sporty...
The 2011 Buick LaCrosse has been on sale for a while now but the big sedan has only now earned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's five-star rating in the agency's latest round of testing. The latest results include top scores for both the driver and passenger in front and side crash tests, as well as for rollover performance. Key...
It just made its U.S. debut at last week’s 2011 New York Auto Show and now we have the all-important pricing details. We’re of course talking about the funky new 2012 Fiat 500 Cabrio, or 500c for short, which goes on sale in the coming months, just in time for summer. The four-seater 500 Cabrio will be priced from $20,000, including a...
The Porsche 911 GT2 is a car that needs no introduction. Often nicknamed the widow maker due to its sheer rawness and tendency to go sideways at will, the 911 GT2--as hard as it is to believe--is available in an even more extreme form, as the 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Here you see why the car is so revered among driving enthusiasts, including...
It was already spotted on the set of Mission Impossible 4 during filming in Vancouver, Canada and now BMW’s Vision EfficientDynamics concept car, the precursor to the upcoming i8 eco supercar, has been spotted again during a film shoot, this time on location in Mumbai, India. These shots of the set, taken by a bystander, confirm that the...
Everyone speaks platitudes on Earth Day, claiming to do their part in saving this orb we all live on. No racing sanctioning body backs their play as much as the American Le Mans Series, which has been proclaimed the Global Leader in Green Racing by no less than the U.S. Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and SAE...
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 is a very interesting car, and not just because it packs a new 3.5-liter V-6, a rather SLS-like nose, or a high-tech retractable hard top: it's soon to be the only manual-transmission offering in Mercedes' range. And it starts from $55,675, including destination and delivery fees. Pricing for the 2012 CLS Coupe was...
Robert Kubica, a rising star in F1 and an eager participant in rally, saw his career put in jeopardy early this year with a freak accident that saw a guard rail skewer his car and his entire right side along with it. He's recovering well considering the severity of his injuries, and is home for a short period before returning to Italy to continue...
The Honda (or Acura) NSX, once hailed as the $40,000 Ferrari of its day, lived a long, if largely changeless life. When it was finally axed in 2005, many were sad to learn of it, but few had their buying plans squished. Now, the NSX may yet return (again), though it will be a very different car from what we once knew. It will be a different car...
