It's race weekend, folks, and it's rapidly becoming summer even though the calendar says it's still technically spring. If you're headed to the Kansas Speedway for the STP 400 this weekend, you'll want to bring your sunscreen. High temperatures are set to hover in the low-90s through the weekend, with lows in the mid-70s. There's no threat of rain...
BMW has come out with a decisively different looking 1-Series for the second generation of the car, yet there’s still some familiarity to the at times awkward looking compact. We’ll leave the styling judgments up to you, though one thing we can all agree on is that BMW has made a good decision in increasing the size of its latest...
Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, and Kevin Harvick look to be breaking a bit of a gap on the rest of the NASCAR Sprint Cup field at this stage in the season, but with about two-thirds of the racing left, it's anyone's game. Matt Kenseth, for example, has two wins to his credit now, while contenders like Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and Greg...
Now one-third of the way through the season, the NASCAR Sprint Cup is heading to Kansas for the STP 400. Friday's final practice session is just finished, but qualifying remains ahead, scheduled for 11:10 a.m. local (noon Eastern) Saturday morning. Each car will put in two laps to determine the starting lineup. Once that's done, the Cup cars will...
Update: The official details and images on the 2012 BMW 1-Series Hatchback are out. Click here for our latest post. The current BMW 1-Series is, despite its late arrival in the U.S., growing long in the tooth, 1-Series M Coupe notwithstanding. Accordingly, a new model is in the works, due as a 2012 model. Best of all, the updated 1er might bring...
In what may be the only silver lining of the horrific earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan in March--though Nissan certainly won't see it this way--production of the 2011 Murano CrossCabriolet was cut just as it began, halting its assault on our eyeballs just as it was about to intensify. Supply chain problems brought on by the...
After a three-year absence from World Rally Championship competition, the legendary Rallye Monte Carlo will be back on the schedule in 2012 as the season opener. The Rallye Monte Carlo celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, but a return is better late than never. In the WRC's absence, Monte Carlo didn't fall off the map, however, playing host...
Earlier this week, the news of the Cadillac SRX plug-in hybrid's pre-production demise spread quickly, followed a few days later by talk of why, including a source that blamed the battery and a lack of efficiency. High Gear Media's John Voelcker dug deeper to uncover the full story on why it was killed. The article, which details how a confluence...
Jaguar's latest XK family member, the XKR-S, isn't a 240-mph hypercar, and it's not the lightest, nimblest, or even the prettiest of the more run-of-the-mill super sports cars. But it does sound spectacular while offering a sampling of the best, and last, of the current XK. This video shows the XKR-S doing its thing at the Autodromo Internacional...
Like you, we're fed up with waiting on Apple to put out, whether it's the white iPhone 4 or any iPad 2. Or maybe a Genius Bar waitron who doesn't give you the idiot look when you don't "live" TCP/IP protocols. The dude in the Honda Accord above obviously couldn't wait for Apple to get its act together either. Seeking free hardware--or so the local...
It's hard to get too excited over Europe-only concepts for shows like Wörthersee, where the A1 clubsport quattro concept was unveiled this week. In this case, however, there's a taste of tanatlizing production car lying just beneath the surface. Which production car is that? Why, the RS1, of course. And yes, you're right in thinking that even...
The civil (and not-so-civil) unrest in Bahrain had put the race's presence on the 2011 Formula 1 schedule in doubt this year, and until today, most had assumed the race would be skipped. Instead, the FIA voted to hold the race despite the violence and political turbulence. Since Bahrain was scheduled as the season opening event on March 13, it had...
Though we’ve been talking about an RS1 high-performance minicar from Audi for more than year now, the strongest indication yet that we might one day see such a car came from the unveiling of the Audi A1 clubsport quattro Concept at this week’s Wörthersee Tour 2011 in Austria. Packing the automaker’s potent 2.5-liter...
