An initial concept for the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series new racer has broken cover on the yard of bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Actually, there were two rolling chassis - dubbed the IndyCar Safety Cell by builder Dallara Automobili - placed on this sacred ground just two days before Rookie Orientation Program begins. Dallara brought together...
Love or hate the exterior design of the Pagani Huayra, you have to enjoy the sound of its engine. Refined, brutal, brash, and melodic all at once, this video gives us a feel for what it's like to be a bumper sticker on the new hand-made Italian supercar. Unfortunately that's about all we get, but we're not complaining. [Marchettino on YouTube]
The BMW 328 is a sports car manufactured by the German automaker between 1936 and 1940, which at the time was one of the most successful vehicles of its type in the world of motorsports. Part of the reason for its success was due to its many innovations and advanced features for its time, such as a tubular spaceframe and a hemispherical combustion...
Just a few weeks ago Infiniti launched a new roadside assistance app for users of the Apple iPhone, and before that we saw MINI launch its own version, while Mercedes-Benz has had its mbrace assistance feature for what seems like forever. Now Audi is joining the fray with its own free roadside assistance app for the Apple iPhone and iPad, as well...
Ferrari’s XX line of cars are your regular run-of-the-mill Italian exotics but are in fact a rolling test-bed for new technologies that will eventually filter across to Ferrari’s future road and race cars. The first was the awesome FXX and subsequent FXX Evolution, both based on the Enzo platform and developing upwards of 850...
Aston Martin has announced a new collaboration with legendary Italian design house Zagato, with the two initially working on a project to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the DB4GT Zagato. Set to debut later this month at the 2011 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, the new project is believed to be a bespoke race car based on...
In the world of automotive audio enthusiasts there are competitions called "sound offs." In their simplest forms, these are gatherings of cars with modified sound systems where a winner is chosen for a variety of reasons. The 2012 Camaro ZL1 doesn't have much in the way of a competitive audio system, but it doesn't need one. It has its exhaust...
No, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG supercar is not about to be enlisted into a medical emergency vehicle fleet anytime soon. This image is simply a design study created to drum up excitement for the 2011 RETTmobil--Europe's largest trade fair for rescue and mobility, which kicks off this week in Germany. After all, rescue workers need reliable and...
We already know what it will look like, as well as most of its specs, but Ford is still likely to have a few surprises up its sleeve when it launches the sporty 2012 Ford Focus ST early next year as prototypes for the car are still being put through their paces all around the globe. As we’re sure you are aware, the design of the latest Focus...
The Aston Martin Performance Driving Course is about two things--helping you understand the capability of your car in a safe and controlled environment and making you a safer, better driver. However, the course isn’t only open to current Aston Martin customers. For a fee of $2,500, anyone with a license can enroll for the day-long course and...
In a move that's already prompted superhero-themed exclamations from news desks in the industry, Porsche Cars North America is expected to announce that it will move its North American headquarters out of the Atlanta-area Sandy Springs location to the site of a former Ford Taurus plant near Hapeville--also in the Atlanta area. Why all the interest...
An MPG (Motor Press Guild) meeting underway at Kia's North American headquarters today, and the image above, tweeted from the meeting by PickupTrucks.com's Mike Levine, shows a sketch for a proposed two-seat halo roadster. Our first impression was that of a Mazda2 convertible. Upon closer examination, we realized it's actually a sketch of an...
The 2012 Audi A7 has been a long time coming to the U.S. We first learned about the car from the official release nearly a year ago, in July 2010. It wasn't until last month's New York Auto Show that the car was revealed for America. Shortly after the show, I spent a week in the car. So how was it? In short, there are only three things I don't...
Aside from the fact that roughly 50 percent of the streets in metro Atlanta are named Peachtree, there's almost nothing about this video that isn't unique in the world of drift. Smoky burnouts, rev-limiters banging, all on downtown streets? Sign us up. Unfortunately, it's not something the rest of us can get in on--legally--short of the vicarious...
It's important to consider the source of the latest news of Robert Kubica's condition following the rally accident that saw him spear a guardrail and end up in the hospital from February until just a couple of weeks ago: Lotus Renault GP team boss Eric Boullier. But even if Boullier is biased toward bullish on Kubica's condition, we're hopeful...
