It's the winner of the audience award for a world cinema documentary at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where it also won the audience award for best international feature. It is SENNA, the 104-minute documentary about the three-time Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna da Silva, whose ten-year reign at the pinnacle of motorsports ended on the...
We saw it at the 2011 New York Auto Show and earlier this week we got to drive it, now we know how much it will cost. We’re talking about, of course, the new 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8, which charges into showrooms in the third quarter of the year priced from $47,995. That $47,995 may seem steep but it gets you a luxury accommodated rear-wheel...
We saw the redesigned 2012 Subaru Impreza make its world debut last April at the 2011 New York Auto Show but the model we’re most interested in, the Impreza WRX, was nowhere to be seen. That’s because Subaru has major plans for the next iteration of its cult classic WRX and this time the car won’t be derived from any econo...
Now here’s the kind of news that makes our day; Ferrari enthusiasts using the spectacle of exotic and vintage supercars to raise awareness and funds for worthy charitable organizations. We’re talking about California’s Ferrari Owners Group (FOG) and the organization’s annual charitable rally, which will see some 50 Prancing...
Lotus is making no secret of its desire to gain the attention of American performance fans by announcing plans for the establishment of a new, locally run Lotus Sport USA motorsports team. The factory-backed team will focus primarily on the GT2 and LMP2 classes in IMSA (International Motor Sport Association). Following the recent announcement of...
The Audi Q7 has been with us for a while, six years to be exact, and is due to be replaced very soon, yet the full-size luxury SUV remains one of the most stylish offerings in its segment even after all these years. Nevertheless, there are always ways to improve the styling of a vehicle and in the case of the Audi Q7, British tuning outfit Project...
Whether you love it or hate it, the uniquely styled 2012 BMW 1-Series is here to stay. The 1-Series, at least in hatchback trim, has always had its detractors and it’s clear from the comments we’ve seen so far that this latest model will be no different. Nevertheless, the 1-Series remains a well-engineered car and manages to maintain...
The production version of the stylish S-Concept unveiled last March at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the highly anticipated Suzuki Swift Sport, is set to go on sale early next year but a U.S. launch for the car remains uncertain. The Suzuki Swift is a hot little hatch still sold in most parts of the globe and in its Swift Sport guise can be a hoot...
BMW is to supply a total of 4,000 cars for the upcoming London Olympic Games, which kicks off in July of next year. Among this fleet of 4,000 cars will be no less than 200 electric cars though the i3 (formerly Megacity Vehicle) won’t be on duty as earlier predicted. However, the summer event will provide a glimpse of BMW’s...
Chrysler's new SRT brand won't be known for subtlety--with one major exception. Parked alongside the likes of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392, and the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8, the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 looks downright pedestrian. Well, as pedestrian as the recently redesigned 300 can. Sitting half an inch...
When Dodge redesigned the Charger for 2011, we knew that an SRT8 version would follow shortly. It didn't matter what the company did or didn't say. We just knew. And so it is that the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 has finally come to fruition. Powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi that makes 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque and mates to a five-speed...
It's a sunny Southern California afternoon, and you're blasting around Willow Springs Raceway, located a little less than 100 miles north of L.A. Pedal down as you approach the first turn, you count numbers on the dash, watching the speedometer climb steadily towards 130. You cross the start/finish line as the checkered flag waves, and you know...
Jeep Grand Cherokees are known for boulder-bashing (at least in ads) and being used to pick up the kids from school (more likely). But sliding around Willow Springs Raceway in full snarl? As Wayne Campbell would say: scheah, right. Yes, there was an SRT8 version of the previous-generation Grand Cherokee. But that was known as a novelty, a toy...
Unlike the Buicks of old--or the Buicks of old people, the 2011 Buick Regal is a completely modern, thoroughly refined, and smaller than a Nimitz-class air craft carrier. It's also one of the best sedans in the entry-level luxury class, and that's why MotorAuthority rates it a 7. You won't find any brawny V-8s under the hood of the Regal, nor will...
Ford had a milestone weekend at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals held at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, IL this past weekend. During the race meeting, the auto maker recorded its 200th victory in NHRA Funny Car competition, which is quite an achievement. Mike Neff, who both drives and tunes his Ford Mustang Funny Car, brought home the...
