Since the unveiling of the Audi R8 back in late 2006 the iconic supercar has undergone few major changes apart from the introduction of a V-10 model in addition to the original V-8, as well as a drop-top Spyder, which comes with either engine. That doesn’t mean the car is without its criticisms. One of the biggest is the R8’s available...
Mercedes-Benz is hard at work on its next-generation S-Class flagship sedan, which is expected to bow onto the market late next year as a 2013 model. We’ve already seen countless spy shots of prototypes for the new car, which have revealed a fairly conventional sedan shape with similar proportions to the current model. However, unlike...
We’ve lost count of how many Ferrari 458 Italia supercars have been lost, either due to fire or from their owner’s own carelessness, but it’s safe to say that at least one of the sultry supercars has been lost each and every month since the car was first launched back in late 2009. The latest crash involved a right-hand drive...
Over the past year or so we’ve seen countless images of prototypes for the next-generation Porsche Boxster, which is expected to hit the market sometime early next year alongside the redesigned ‘991’ series Porsche 911. However, Porsche is also set to launch its next-generation Cayman in 2012 and we now have the first spy shots...
While we have truly unique vehicles like the next-generation 2013 Saab 9-3 to look forward to—or at least hope for, given the current uncertain state of Saab's future—in the meantime the Swedish automaker is subsisting on designs directly shared with its former owner, General Motors. The last of these to be introduced is the new 2011...
A few years ago we reported on the trend that many new cars aren’t designed to accommodate America’s seemingly ever-expanding waistline, with even popular models like the Chevrolet Corvette ill-prepared to carry two occupants each with a weight of over 200 pounds. Alarmingly, it's not just sporty coupes and roadsters that can't handle...
The aural delights in this latest video is the sweet, sweet sound of the new Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, which recently made its U.S. debut so remember it as you could one day be hearing it in your neck of the woods. More specifically, it is the sound of the stunning coupe’s Ferrari-built 4.7-liter V-8, which in GranTurismo MC Stradale...
If you have thing for old Fords, this apparently stock 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Fastback might be for you. Currently listed on eBay for $5,600, this Fairlane has a 289 cubic-inch V-8 and a three-speed automatic transmission and 95,000 miles on the clock. The seller claims it has the original radio, air cleaner, and carburetor. The seller also claims...
Fans of one-off supercar projects will love this. James Glickenhaus' P4/5 Competizione competed at the famed Nurburgring on April 2, and now there is video footage of the race on Youtube. For those who can't recall, the Competizione is a track-day bomber that is based on the one-off P4/5. Underneath the shell is the same suspension and V-8 engine...
OK, so the debut of the 2012 SLS AMG Roadster (pictured) isn't exactly a minor update. In fact, it's a whole other gullwing-less model, which we've covered previously. The standard hardtop model gets some minor tech upgrades and new paint colors for the model-year change, plus an optional three-mode AMG Adaptive Suspension. The most interested bit...
If you like to haul the kids and, in the same car, get a bit sideways on occasion, you'll probably have to choose something besides the 2012 Mercedes-Benz E550 Sedan (2010 model pictured), because this time around it's all-wheel-drive only. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Given the apocalyptic snows and torrential rains we've already seen...
The 2013 Saab 9-3 will return to being primarily or exclusively a hatchback design, and will be heavily influenced by the PhoeniX concept from the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. That much we know, but at a recent Washington D.C. event to launch the new 2011 Saab 9-4X and also, it turned out, discuss the future of Saab—which is still up in the air...
That's right, folks, the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon is no longer the only uber-wagen to be on sale this year. Mercedes-Benz is joining the party with its 2012 E63 AMG Wagon, and it's everything you'd expect. That means it's a 5.5-liter, 518-horsepower, 516-pound-foot, twin-turbo, direct-injection V-8 superhauler with a seven-speed MCT transmission. The...
We'll have to wait about two years for Porsche's new U.S. headquarters facility to be completed, but when it arrives, it'll include a test track that will be used as part of a buyer experience unlike anything Porsche has previously offered in the U.S. European buyers--or buyers that have gone to Europe to pick up their cars may have tasted the...
