The much-publicized deal between Nissan's luxury Infiniti brand and Red Bull Racing's Formula 1 effort has spawned rumors about future products, how the collaboration might impact Infiniti's range. But the speculation hasn't gone in the other direction until now. The latest has Nissan/Infiniti's road car boffins putting their collection knowledge...
Volvo, together with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has issued a recall on 2010 and 2011 model year XC90 SUVs due to a potential fault affecting the vehicles’ power steering system. The affected vehicles, of which there are 350 units across the country, are those manufactured between January 29, 2010, through to...
Mercedes-Benz has a number of high-performance models in the pipeline, most of which we know are coming. Things like the SLS AMG Roadster, next-generation SL-Class, new SLK AMG, new C63 AMG and even a high-performance C63 AMG Black Series. However, there apparently are plans within the German automaker to launch yet another high-end sports car...
A high school freshman from Texas, Kenzie Deaton, is the proud owner of a brand new 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, which she won as part of a competition being run by her school in an effort to get students to improve their grades. The only problem is that Deaton is just 14 years of age so can’t even drive yet. Her parents, however, are quite happy...
If you live in the U.K. and you've got some time to kill this summer, Peugeot has launched a new contest that might be of interest. And if you win, they'll shoot you into outer space. (Well, almost.) The contest is called "Spot3008", and it's designed to hype the automaker's 3008 crossover. The way it works is pretty simple: Peugeot has taken a...
With both MINI and Volkswagen already confirming their intentions to enter the competitive world of the World Rally Championship (WRC), an international race series once dominated by the likes of Subaru and Mitsubishi and still by Citroen, Fiat, more specifically Fiat’s Abarth performance and motorsport division, is now rumored to be joining...
The MINI family is already growing, and it's soon to gain two new members: the Coupe and Roadster. We'll have to wait a few months yet to see the Coupe later this summer, and a whole year for the Roadster, but these spy shots show MINI is well on the way to delivering a hot version of the two-seater hard top as well. The same 211 horsepower, 192...
Perhaps the strongest indication yet that Lamborghini is planning to put its striking Estoque sedan concept from the 2008 Paris Auto Show into production has come by way of clear statements from the automaker’s CEO that a third Lamborghini model is in the works and that it will be an “everyday” car. Speaking during the recent...
When it comes to combining performance and luxury, few do it better than Mercedes-Benz. But, if you had to pick out one car that might just do it better, it would have to be the Bentley Continental GT, a car that brings the driver to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, lets him flirt with 200 mph and does it from the comfort of a refined, handcrafted Bentley...
Hermann Brandt Hartwig (HBH), the deranged Danish minds that helped bring to life the spectacularly excessive Zenvo ST1 (pictured below), are on to their next project: a V-12 powered, mid-engined supercar based on the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. They released the first teaser picture this week, giving a good look at the profile of the car. Much...
There are many auto shows, both big and small, between now and next year's Geneva Motor Show. But that isn't stopping the ever-greased rumor mill from churning out a tidbit or two on the 2012 event. According to one such tidbit, Infiniti will launch an all-new sports coupe in Switzerland, and it will get a little help from none other than Lotus to...
Porsche may not be the first name you think of when you think electric cars--Tesla, Nissan, Chevrolet, even Smart are more likely--but that may change, especially if you're into speed and handling. Porsche recently reaffirmed its promise of a year ago to build electric performance cars. A year ago, the promise was more of an idea, or a mission...
Without question, one of the most influential racing films ever produced, Steve McQueen's LeMans, originally released in 1971, is slated for re-release on DVD and Bluray on May 24, in time for its 40th anniversary. Noted in particular for its highly realistic depiction of the racing of the day, much of the film was shot during the actual 24 Hours...
You probably see them every day, or nearly so: car transporters, bringing the newest cars to market, shipping used cars to where they're wanted, and generally helping us all get the wheels we want. Sometimes, however, things go wrong. In this case, spectacularly wrong. A tractor-trailer rig traveling through Little Rock, Arkansas this afternoon...
The Pagani Huayra is an unusual-looking supercar, with all its active aerodynamics and arthropod proportions, but it sounds absolutely brilliant thanks to the 7.3-liter Mercedes-Benz V-12 under the engine cover. This video is just more evidence. Or, if you wish, ear porn. Crank the speakers and enjoy. [Marchettino on YouTube]
