It's been a tough few years for one of the most successful teams in American open wheel history. Newman/Haas Racing lost one of its owners, actor/driver Paul Newman and its other owner, Carl A Haas has not been in the best of health. With the loss of Newman, a lot of the sponsorship opportunities he brought to the team dissipated and, for the...
Our favorite exotic car photographer Jordan Shiraki has done it again, this time preparing a stunning gallery of the recently revealed Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Performante LP570-4. We haven’t seen much of this particular Raging Bull as Lamborghini chose not to release many shots of the car, but thankfully Shiraki and his Nevada based team...
There were rumblings late last year that Fiat may sell off part of its stake in Ferrari to help raise cash to fund its merger with Chrysler, with the famous sports car manufacturer from Maranello at the time being valued at around $3.3 billion. Speaking recently to an investment group keen to see the sale of Ferrari, along with a possible initial...
Fast factory versions of frumpy family sedans are nothing new--they've been around almost as long as the industry has--but few really capture the mind of the auto enthusiast like the Ford Taurus SHO (Super High Output) did during the 1990s. Perhaps because it was one of the few American takes on the concept at the time, or perhaps because it was...
The Caterham name may not be all that widely recognized here in the U.S. but in Europe, Caterham is well known for manufacturing a range of lightweight track cars built around the classic Lotus Seven chassis. More recently the British firm has been expanding its range, with cars like this SP/300.R prototype (pictured below) destined for...
We’ve known about it for months but finally the first official images and details for the new 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 have landed, and we’re the first to admit that we're all completely stoked. The GT3 RS line of cars are often described as the most sporting of the 911 models but in the case of the new 911 GT3 RS 4.0, virtually...
We still don’t have all the details on this one but it appears the driver of this Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster somehow managed to get the vehicle upside down. The champagne colored supercar must have been traveling at some speed to end up in this predicament, most likely veering up the nearby embankment seen in the image of the wreckage...
A lengthy clip from the upcoming 'Fast Five' movie, the fifth installment of the now legendary/comical Fast and the Furious franchise, has made its way onto the Internet courtesy of the film’s production company Universal Pictures. Though its local release date isn’t pegged until April 29, the movie has been screened to audiences in...
The first new Alfa Romeo to lead the brand's return to the United States will be the 4C, the stunning little coupe unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Not far behind it, another Alfa will come, and it will be its near-opposite: a Jeep-based SUV. We've heard of a brewing Alfa-Jeep concoction since last year, but a recent report citing Italian...
If you're in the mood for some Molson and some fine special-edition Lancia Delta Integrale Evo hardware, it's time for a trip to Canada. Two of the cars are up for sale in Richmond, British Columbia, and they both belong to limited runs. The first, a 1992 Integrale Evo 1, is number 136 of a 400-car run of Martini 5 special editions, sold the year...
Corvette Racing's excellent ongoing series, Track To Street, now in its second season, has given us a look inside the mind and spirit of a professional racing team the way few others get to see. This time, we see what it's like to tackle one of the world's premiere street circuits at Long Beach. Narrow, lined with concrete, and punishing mistakes...
NASCAR legend and perhaps the best-liked, most-referenced cheater in motorsports history, Smokey Yunick, used to run a shop called the Best Damn Garage In Town, and last night, the building that housed it until it was shuttered burned to the ground in Daytona Beach, Florida. Even after its closing, Yunick's shop was a sort of point of pilgrimage...
You might not think the cost of oil changes and tire rotations would be a barrier to Ferrari ownership, but with the brand eying hugely expanded sales over the next few years, the company appears to be seeking to ease the cost of ownership somewhat with its new Ferrari Genuine Maintenance program, which offers seven years of standard maintenance...
A few weeks ago we saw the first purported leaked stats on Porsche's uber-GT3, the RS 4.0, and about ten days ago, an image followed via the same enthusiast forum. Yesterday, we got a few more details on the car making the rounds, and today brings interior images. We can't verify the authenticity of the information or the images, but they...
Victor Muller, Spyker's CEO and chairman of Saab, has been working feverishly to keep Saab's balloon aloft, though hot air alone won't do the job for much longer: unless Saab can work out a way to get its hands on more cash, the company may be headed for its final place in the history books. Work continues on a plan to sell Saab's property...
