We've long lamented the fact that Peugeot's exotic-looking, relatively high-performance EX1 Concept electric car won't be seeing production. The latest feat, a 9-minute, 1.338-second lap of the Nurburgring's Nordschleife just makes the pain worse. The time is nearly a minute quicker than the previous EV lap record, and on par with many current...
It’s been a while since we last heard about Flavio Briatore, the Italian businessman made famous in the automotive world as the manager of two Formula 1 teams, and for having been forced to resign from his most recent team involvement with ING Renault F1 due to alleged race fixing at the 2008 Singapore GP. We now have details of a black...
The GT3 racing version of McLaren's new supercar, the MP4-12C, has already received its share of fanfare, but new photos show off more details of the racer, and we can't look away. Along with the new photos, we also get a clearer idea of McLaren's plans for the 2012 season. Teaming up with CRS Racing for development and support, the MP4-12C GT3...
First, they called him Bruce, now they call him jailbird: the former pop star and soap star known as Rick Springfield was pulled over in Malibu, California Monday night and hauled in for driving under the influence. Law enforcement agents saw Springfield speeding down the Pacific Coast Highway around 8:00pm Monday. To prevent the man from hurting...
Mercedes showed it was serious about its A-Class at the 2011 New York Auto Show, but now it's clear it's more than serious about turning the concept into reality. According to one Mercedes source, the A-Class concept that debuted in Shanghai and New York last month is quite close to the final production version. Mercedes doesn't plan to change the...
More and more cars are being offered with the added safety and performance of all-wheel drive, with the luxury segments in particular benefiting most from increased demand for the feature. Luxury brands typically offer rear-wheel drive as standard but in colder climates, such as in the Northern states of the U.S., icy roads can prove a real threat...
Canadian twins, Dean and Dan Caten, better known as the designer duo DSQUARED², have presented the initial sketches of the MINI Countryman crossover they have designed exclusively for the 2011 Life Ball, a charity event held annually in Vienna in support of HIV and AIDS research. Since 2001, a MINI created by world-renowned designers has been...
In order to compete with the brand new 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class arriving next year, BMW will launch a facelifted version of its 7-Series, which has been spied testing in prototype form. As can be seen by these latest spy shots, BMW is leaving its flagship sedan relatively unchanged. That’s because most of the changes planned will be taking...
Almost exactly two years ago there were whispers Kia was working on a new rear-wheel drive flagship sedan that would share its underpinnings with the Hyundai Genesis and be offered in both V-6 and V-8 guises. Then, all of a sudden, Kia unveiled the stylish KND-5 sedan concept and raised hopes that the affordable rear-wheel drive sedan was about to...
The current E90 BMW 3-Series has been on the market since 2005, so it's only fitting that details about the next-gen model are beginning to circulate. Most agree that the next model will feature styling lifted, at least in part, from the Concept CS, though also expect to see a healthy dose of the new corporate styling debuted on the latest...
Rally racing is one of the world's more interesting motorsports endeavors, not least of which because of the crashes. Sure, we know most hard-core race fans claim not to watch racing for the wrecks, but it's hard not to look away sometimes. Especially when you can find ten minutes of pre-packaged footage on YouTube. We know that after a long work...
It's spring, and what could be more pleasant than putting the top down in a stylish European four-seat convertible? We got the chance to drive the 2011 Volvo C70 recently, rediscovering the joys (and smells) of open-air travel in the spring sunshine. The C70 is a bit of an oddball in the Volvo lineup, which is otherwise largely composed of...
