One wears the name Godzilla on its sleeve, while the other is simply referred to as The King. Both have a common mission: lightning fast lap times around the Nurburgring. Each of these time-honored competitors has a common goal, though each one attempts to achieve this goal in vastly different manner. The Nissan GT-R uses all-wheel drive and a ton...
Yesterday we reported that Saab would receive $18.4 million by the end of this week from a mystery Chinese firm that ordered a total of 582 of its cars, allowing the financially stricken automaker to pay its employees’ wages and stave off a potential bankruptcy. Today, we have news that Saab will receive an additional $40 million from a...
Built on a lengthened, heavily modified Lotus platform, sporting up to 1,000 horsepower of twin-turbo V-8 punch, the Hennessey Venom GT is one insane little monster of a supercar. It will be taking on the Goodwood Hill this year. This video shows the car in testing as the Hennessey crew prepares for the run. Not a whole lot happens, but you can...
We’ve known for some time that HISTORY was planning to air a second season of Top Gear USA, after the show’s first season, which comprised some 10 episodes, managed to pull in a total of 60 million viewers. Now, thanks to the show’s Facebook page, we know that the first episode of the brand new season will air on July 24. While...
Remember e-Wolf? A few years back the German firm released a couple of preview images teasing a new electric supercar that’s still in development. Well, e-Wolf has been busy, releasing a number of other electric cars in the recent past, the latest of which is the new Alpha 1 SRF (Silent Radical Force). Using a chassis sourced from British...
It seems like only yesterday that the beautiful Ferrari F430 began to grace the streets. But at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show, Ferrari announced its successor--the 458 Italia. With an array of new technologies borrowing heavily from the investment in Formula 1, this would be a car that was easier to drive, more balanced, more poised--and so it is...
We’ve already seen prototypes for the facelifted 2012 Bentley Continental GTC but here’s one of the high-performance GTC Speed model, which should make its appearance shortly after the debut of the standard model towards the end of this year. The prototype seen here is wearing minimal camouflage, giving us a good look as to the styling...
Before you get all excited about this report, note that there are no plans to bring the highly-efficient Jaguar XF 2.2 Diesel to the U.S., at least in this generation of the car. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, we can tell you that overseas buyers can enjoy a luxurious 2012 Jaguar XF sedan that’s capable of driving 816 miles on...
Everyone knows Ferraris are meant to be red, don’t they? Well, perhaps not as the number of Ferrari models leaving the factory in Maranello in the classic red paint scheme is on the decline. Just a decade ago, a whopping 85 percent of all Ferraris built sported red liveries. Today, that figure is around the 45 percent mark. Red, or Rosso...
The third installment of the popular Transformers movie series, Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, is just a day away from its theatrical release and in the lead up to that momentous day, GM has unveiled its latest 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers 3 Special Edition muscle car. Just as it has done with the release of the previous two movies in the...
A new supercar is brewing, one fully designed and engineered in Australia. We’re of course talking about the upcoming Joss JP1, a vehicle scheduled to be displayed next month in ‘Evaluation’ trim at the 2011 Australian Motor Show in Melbourne and teased here today. The latest image reveals a fairly convention supercar design but...
The Ferrari 458 Italia has rewritten the rulebook on exotic Italian supercars. Not only is the car completely new from the ground up, it’s also faster than virtually every Ferrari before it--including the Enzo. However, the major draw card is that this Ferrari is actually a very good mode of transport. Comfortable seats, ample head, leg, and...
One of the perennial players in the high-end luxury sedan segment, the 2011 BMW 7-Series is a bigger, better version of its former self, with styling that's fresher and more appealing to most. MotorAuthority rates the 2011 7-Series a 9 overall. Space is the dominant sensation in the cabin of either the short-wheelbase or long-wheelbase version of...
Some call it heresy, but Porsche's SUV is here to stay. A successful volume-seller for good reason, the Cayenne is one of the top sport and luxury SUVs available. Redesigned for 2011, the newest Cayenne is the best yet. MotorAuthority gives the 2011 Cayenne an overall rating of 8. Power is never short in the Cayenne model line, even if you opt for...
Back in late April, Kurt Busch threw his Penske Racing crew under the bus due to the lack of speed and performance for his No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge fleet. After publicly ousting them to the press, his team heard him loud and clear, with three consecutive poles, five straight top-11 finishes and more importantly, a win. Starting 11th, the...
