Owning a car like the Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a dream for most auto enthusiasts, but for a lucky few, it is a reality. While we certainly wish we were among those lucky few who can actually afford the $179,995 asking price for the sultry two-door, we’ll have to suffice with this latest video clip from the visual geniuses at Gentleman...
Infiniti currently offers a 2.5-liter engine in its G Sedan in the U.S. but in Japan, this 218 horsepower V-6 is also offered in the more expensive M Sedan, known locally as the Nissan Fuga. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Infiniti to launch an ‘M25’ with this 2.5-liter engine anytime soon, however, as insider sources claim...
MINI is working on a whole new range of models, each based off a brand new front-wheel drive platform being developed together with parent company BMW, which will use it for its own range of entry-level hatchbacks due in the coming years. We’ve reported several times before on the new front-wheel drive BMWs but this is the first time that...
There’s a new Audi model coming that will be positioned between the entry-level A1 and A3 Hatchback and soon-to-be released A3 Sedan, but in just what way, shape or form the new model will arrive remains to be seen. We’re of course talking about the Audi A2, the long-rumored successor to the previous aluminum constructed A2 hatch...
Both Toyota and Subaru are scheduled to unveil their own separate versions of their jointly developed rear-wheel drive sports car at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show this December, and while we’ve seen and heard plenty of Toyota’s version (nee Scion FR-S), not much is known about Subaru’s version of the car. The last we heard...
Land Rover’s iconic Range Rover is the very definition of a luxury SUV and is often the model automakers benchmark when it comes to building versions of their own. Suffice it to say, building a more capable and luxurious SUV is hard to do, which is why we’re yet to see any vehicle truly match the Range Rover in the current marketplace...
Before the angry comments start coming in, let us be the first to state that this is not real and is in fact just a mock scenario involving a rogue driver in a parking lot drifting around a police car. The video is a promotional piece for the Joe Usry Auto Group located in Jackson, Mississippi, a Chrysler brand dealership that also happens to sell...
Though the car is officially in production, there’s still no sign that deliveries of the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid luxury sedan in the U.S. are about to start despite continuous claims that the car is coming. Despite the setbacks, Fisker managed to roll out one example of the svelte sedan at this past weekend’s 2011 Formula 1 Monaco...
Rumors of BMW model proliferation continue to spread like wildfire, with the latest being a resurrection of the Z3 roadster. It's a somewhat convoluted chain of development and re-development that gets us there, too. Consider this one highly speculative for now, but plausible at the same time. BMW may be working to re-shuffle its model lineup to...
Maybe I was irreparably scarred by my youth watching Dukes of Hazzard, but jumping cars is just about the coolest thing a person can do. Unfortunately, cars don't magically repair themselves like the Dodge Chargers did on the show. But not all cars are used like handi-wipes when filming stunt jumps. Case in point: the Team Hot Wheels truck at the...
High-speed runs might seem simple enough: lots of runway, a straight line, and your foot to the floor. But they can go horrendously wrong at a moment's notice. That's what makes this 231-mph standing mile run by the Late Model Racecraft 1,500-horsepower twin-turbo Corvette in the video below all the more impressive. It also gives a good feel for...
We have expected the return of the Dodge Viper given the frequent confirmation from the company. We didn't expect it--and still don't--until late 2012 as a 2013 model year car, despite reports of a 2012 model popping up in the Chrysler dealer inventory system, according to Allpar.com. To make it to market in time for the 2012 model year, the Viper...
Whether you're a fan of Lotus' transformation under the leadership of Dany Bahar or not, it's happening, and it may soon take a much more drastic path. According to reports from a roundtable last week, Bahar is considering a partnership with a larger car maker or possibly spinning the brand off from current corporate owner Proton to be publicly...
It's been almost one year exactly since talk of the BMW M2 trademark last circulated--likely as a result of refreshing the intent to use the mark--and that has inspired a new round of speculation on what it might mean. Coupled with trademarks from last October for the 228, 230, and 235 names, the talk of an M2 has at least the solidity of an...
Mustang fans of a certain age will likely remember fondly the SVO model, which was powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder. Well, our sources say that turbo four-cylinder power might be once again in the future plans for the 'Stang. We already know that an EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder that displaces 2.0 liters will be going into the...
