This weekend is shaping up to be another thriller for race fans, with three major international events taking place over the next 48 hours. They include the arduous Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance race in Germany, the 12.42-mile Pikes Peak Hill Climb in Colorado and of course, the eighth race of the 2011 Formula 1 season, the European Grand Prix...
The new 2012 Hyundai Veloster is still in the process of making its way to showrooms all across the country, coming onto the market with its unique hatchback design and potentially game-changing features and functions. At the top of its list is a funky quartet of doors. Hyundai calls it a three-door vehicle, but the Veloster has four doors in all...
From the hydrogen-powered LIFEcar concept to the all-aluminum EvaGT to its history of wood-framed cars, Morgan spans an incredible variety of technology and aims with its cars, all wrapped in a classically-styled package. However, what many may not know is that the success of Morgan was originally founded on the manufacture of a very simple car...
Believe it or not, this isn’t just some blinged-out supercar that a rap star or Arab Sheik became tired of. It is in fact an official Audi creation that was auctioned off at the annual White Tie and Tiara Ball that took place last night at the home of Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish. The event was hosted by the famous British...
Remember the overly ostentatious Maybach 62 Landaulet? Well, Lexus has gone out and built a Landaulet of its own based on its LS 600h flagship sedan and designed specifically to chauffer around Prince Albert II of Monaco on his wedding day. In case you were wondering, a Landaulet is a design that was made popular in the early part of the last...
Saab’s recent announcements of partnerships with Chinese firms Zhejian Youngman Lotus Automobile and Pang Da Automobile has done little for its money woes, with the automaker announcing this week in a formal statement that it won’t be able to pay its employees’ wages due to a lack of short-term funding. Despite being in ongoing...
With the unveiling of its FR-S Concept back at the 2011 New York Auto Show, Scion showed us that even models intended to be affordable can look quite exotic. Despite still being a concept, most of the FR-S show car’s lines are expected to transfer faithfully to the production 2012 Scion FR-S, possibly Toyota Celica in other markets...
Earlier this week we brought you the first details about Lotus’ new in-house developed V-8 engine, which is set to appear in the upcoming Esprit supercar as well as several other new models currently in development at the automaker’s Hethel facility in the UK. Here we divulged that the V-8 engine would displace 4.8-liters and be rated...
Technically speaking, the M-Class is really the ML-Class, but we're not going to quibble. The 2011 Mercedes-Benz M-Class is the SUV that gave the brand a foothold in the American luxury SUV market, and it continues to be one of the most desirable. In fact, thanks in part to the stonking fast ML63 and the green-yet-fun diesel, MotorAuthority rates...
From the wagon to the sedan to the coupe to the cabriolet, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers something for almost everyone. Step up to the V-8 models, particularly the E63 AMG, and you're in for a combination of speed and refinement only a handful of sedans can match. MotorAuthority rates the 2011 E-Class a 9 for its variety of engine choices...
Mark Higgins' record run around the tight, treacherous Isle of Man TT circuit in a production Subaru WRX set off quite a bit of buzz, but this official video captures the lap's danger and excitement. There's no shortage of either, as Higgins alternately flies and drives the WRX around the hilly circuit. At the end, Higgins talks through the...
Classic car auctions are all about scoring that rare find, and in the case of the upcoming auction at Monterey, California, in August, there will be at least one super-rare classic on the block. The car in question is a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster. Originally sold for $12,000 when new, RM Auctions is now expecting the car to command a...
It's getting hard to keep track of all the various special-edition M3s, but this one marks itself out with an unusual name, and a set of modifications that set it apart from the group, not the least of which is that it starts as a sedan. Called the BMW M3 CRT (despite BMW's typo in the video title), short for Carbon Racing Technology, the newest...
It's no secret that the ultimate goal of nearly every racer that ascends Pikes Peak is to set the overall record, a time that has stood since 2007 at 10:01.408. Even that attempt, however, fell short of the near-mythical sub-10-minute run. The man that set the current record, Monster Tajima, will once again attempt to break that barrier, taking...
