The Pagani brand first burst onto the supercar scene during the late ‘90s and immediately tore apart the establishment with its wild-looking creations capable of out-handling the best from rivals Ferrari and Lamborghini. One of the brand’s first--in what turned out to be a long line of--special editions was the Zonda F Clubsport...
Watching a stock production car, and an American one, no less, tag a consistent 1.5-1.6g of lateral acceleration on street tires (new Michelin Pilot Sport Cups) on its way to clicking off a 7:19.63 lap around the Nurburgring's Nordschleife is nothing short of mind-blowing, until you realize it's the ZR1. And then it's still mind-blowing. That's...
This year’s Gumball 3000 rally has certainly lived up to the event’s notorious reputation of millionaires getting reckless with million dollar machines. We recently saw one of the rally participants make a water crossing in his Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV but that pales in comparison to the lunacy of this Bugatti Veyron owner who...
Just a few short hours ago we saw an official teaser image released of the upcoming convertible version of Opel's latest generation Astra and now we have a fresh set of spy shots of the car. Spotted testing at Opel’s test center in the south of Germany, this model is not yet confirmed for sale in the U.S. although there’s been reports...
SUVs, once notoriously dangerous due to their tendency to rollover at high speeds, are now among the safest vehicles to travel in when fitted with the latest generation of electronic stability control systems, rollover mitigation technology and reinforced roofs. The finding is based on research conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway...
As most auto fans have heard plenty about, Lotus is in the process of a rather drastic overhaul, attempting to regain footing in the ranks of true supercar makers. Part of that process is developing new models like the Esprit and Eterne, and part of it is reworking older models for the future. The latter has led to a rare piece of bad news out of...
One of the Nurburgring Nordschleife’s living legends, ‘Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz, will no longer be offering enthusiasts the chance to ride shotgun with her in a BMW M5 around the famous German circuit as she, along with the current BMW M5 ‘Ring Taxi’, are retiring from service. The Ring-Taxi service will still be...
We’ve been reporting about a convertible version of the latest-generation Opel Astra sold in Europe since 2009 but news concerning the car never really heated up until last month when reports emerged suggesting that the car, along with the recently revealed Opel Astra GTC sports hatch, could be sold in the U.S. wearing a Buick badge. Today...
We’ve known about the 2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist mild-hybrid luxury sedan since late 2010 but GM only released the all-important pricing details for the car this week, with its sticker coming in at $29,960 before an $860 destination charge. Interestingly, GM has made the advanced eAssist drivetrain the standard option on its latest Buick...
All these Guilty Pleasures cars, but which one am I actively pursuing for my own fleet right now? Yes, the Ukrainian-built, Brezhnev-era ZAZ-968, aka "The Soviet Corvair." I've got some shady connections in the former Soviet Union (i.e., 24 Hours of LeMons racers) who plan to ship a container-load of ZAZ-968s to our shores, and— barring...
It's time to take a short break from car talk to bring you this update about the upgraded, much-improved comment system we're launching today. With a bounty of new features, our comment system now lets you interact more easily and more completely with both your fellow commenters and with us, the editors of MotorAuthority. Whether you're for or...
The Bahrain Grand Prix is back off the schedule following a decision by the FIA that the race couldn't be held because the teams wouldn't agree to it. Article 66 of the FIA's code says amendments to the arrangements for an ongoing championship can only be made with the approval of all competitors. It's a rather un-humanitarian reason for the...
Current Audi S models, while visually quite different from the standard versions to the informed eye, often fly under the radar of regular folks. But that's set to change for the next generation of S models, according to previous reports, and these latest spy shots hint at just how the S7 will differentiate itself from the 2012 Audi A7, with fully...
At last year's SEMA show, Honda and its HPD division came to the plate with no fewer than a dozen different concepts. One of them was the CR-Z Racer you see above. Today, Honda announced the turbocharged race concept will strut its stuff in an exhibition event before the start of the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans. The CR-Z Racer has already completed...
You'll have to do a little mental conversion from metric to American units, but this video gives us a good look at the new M-Class in action, with detail shots of the interior and even a mild off-road excursion. Be sure to check out our preview for the full details and these high-res photos of the 2012 M-Class.
