While Pontiac might be defunct as a General Motors brand, designer Kevin Morgan and the crew over at the Trans Am Depot in northern Florida are keeping the flaming chicken alive with their modern renditions of what Pontiac's Firebird pony cars might look like today. Given the longstanding symbiotic relationship between Camaros and Firebirds, it's...
Still unsure if the $100,000-plus Tesla Roadster is for you? Well, Tesla is hoping to change all that with its latest promotional effort, the Drive Change Electric Roadster Tour, which will see the company’s iconic Roadster paraded across the country in order to convince buyers that electric performance is the way to go. Tesla is planning to...
Duff Goldman is a pastry chef, reality show star, and auto enthusiast. Now, he can add one more descriptor to his resume: car theft victim. Goldman parked his prized 1962 Chevrolet Corvette at his brother's house in Sherman Oaks, California before zipping out of town to judge a cake competition in Canada. By the time he got back, the vintage ride...
There are two things in this world that architects can't resist: funky eyewear and a good symposium. As proof of the former, we have Daniel Libeskind and Gordon Kipping. For the latter, we present the Festival of Ideas for the New City and one of its main attractions, a scale model of New York City as it might appear in 2030, courtesy of the Audi...
Ever wondered how car companies present whole cars inside buildings, sometimes in rooms that appear to have no doors a car could ever fit through? Well here’s a video released by Lamborghini that reveals a few tricks of the trade using the brand new Aventador LP700-4 supercar, which was recently showcased in a small museum in Rome, Italy...
Electronics giant Pioneer has revealed the latest in the world of automotive satellite navigation technology, with its new AVIC-VH09CS double din unit showcasing the first production example of an in-car ‘augmented reality’ system. Using a wireless windshield-mounted camera, the system streams live footage of the outside world onto its...
It’s not uncommon for buyers of exotic supercars to have to wait up to two years for their new baby to arrive due to the limited production capacity and overwhelming demand the builders of such fine machines are faced with. One of the worst offenders is Ferrari whose latest must-have, the FF supercar, already has an 18 month waiting list...
The new 2011 Chrysler 300 has been almost universally praised by those who have laid eyes upon it, but as with most cars, there are always ways to improve things. That’s where the guys at Mopar come in. For the latest Detroit muscle sedan, Mopar is offering a full menu of grilles and wheels for those looking to customize and personalize...
Remember the Audi Cross Cabriolet Concept from 2007’s Los Angeles Auto Show? The striking concept car originally previewed the Audi Q5 compact crossover but featured a relatively unique--at the time--high-riding convertible body. Since then we’ve seen Nissan release the controversial Murano CrossCabriolet, in a way stealing...
Just five years ago Volkswagen launched a special edition Golf GTI Edition 30 to mark the 30th anniversary of the sporty Golf GTI hatchback. Back then, Volkswagen was building its MkV Golf and in Edition 30 trim the car came packing some 230 horsepower and the choice of either six-speed manual or DSG dual clutch transmissions. Fast forward to...
Potential fire hazard or not, we still want an Audi RS6 in our driveway. Sure, we're ideally prefer the monstrous twin-turbo V-10 that followed the model under recall, but we wouldn't look a gift car in the tank. The tank is where the fire risk in the recalled cars lies: a plastic valve that flexes with the aluminum ventilation line can age...
Tuners of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your taste! That seems to be rallying cry of a large segment of those of us that, in one way or another, center our lives around cars. Here's a list of ways to know if you're one of them. We hope you're not, but we understand, and forgive you, if you are. Say hi to The Fonz for us. 1) Your...
It's hard to believe that it's been nearly two years since the MINI Coupe and Roadster concepts were unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt auto show. Production is already gearing up, however, and today we have some new spy shots of the upcoming 2012 MINI Roadster in testing, this time in barely disguised form. Previous reports had pinned a fast-track to...
With contract driver Paul Tracy assigned to Dreyer & Reinbold Racing for this year's 100th anniversary Indianapolis 500, Dragon Racing's Jay Penske searched for an appropriate substitute for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. Penske chose Scott Speed as his driver for this race, despite the fact that Speed has zero time with an IZOD IndyCar...
It has to be California, right? The car-crazy Golden State has some peculiarities, alright, but if you’re a car fancier with a ton of disposable cash (or can get your hands on some) and want to buy a property complete with a 40-car garage, there’s a listing right now in Temecula, California for just $3,995,000. Oh, and it also comes...
