Believe it or not, Formula 1 drivers really are human. Well, most of them are, anyway, and that includes Adrian Sutil, who wrecked a Gumpert Apollo on the perilous Nordschleife today. The damage, as you can see in the image above, isn't terminal--it looks like some bodywork will put the car back in full working order. That's a good thing, too...
The Nissan GT-R is an impressive vehicle straight out of the box, but the tuner scene has done some truly impressive stuff with the rolling twin-turbo tech lab known as Godzilla. The latest insanity comes from AMS Performance, where they've upped the power to 1,318 horses measured at the wheels. That's enough to rocket the car from 60 to 130 mph...
Porsche is bound and determined to milk its redesigned 2012 Porsche 911 for all its worth, apparently, starting the drip feed of teasers more than two months ahead of its Frankfurt debut. We aren't complaining, though. Check out the video below to see what little of the 991 Porsche 911 they'll give us for now--though the exterior shots are...
It was less than a month ago that we reported Porsche was planning a return to Le Mans prototype racing in time for the 2014 season, and now we have news of yet another automaker considering doing the same. This time ‘round its Jaguar, which is reportedly considering a return to the sport since exiting it in 1991. AutoSport is reporting that...
Right now the fastest production car in the world is the hyper exclusive--and hyper expensive--Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which is capable of a top speed of 268 mph. The previous record holder was the less refined yet still very capable Ultimate Aero from America’s own Shelby SuperCars (SSC), which itself stole the record from the original...
Development of Volkswagen’s MkVII Golf is well underway, with the new car on track to come onto the market towards the end of next year as a 2013 model. While a conventional hatchback shape will remain, designers are thought to be going for much sharper styling in an effort to make the new Golf appear sportier. Its powertrain lineup will...
There's a lot to be said for being able to buy the latest and greatest in supercar technology, but for many of us, that's little more than a dream. If you're looking for a whole lot of speed for not much money, however, you'll be surprised just how much you can get. This list brings you 10 of the fastest, most engaging cars you can buy without...
Contrary to rumors of a complete sale, legendary Italian design house Zagato, the company behind astounding works like the recent Aston Martin V12 Zagato and Alfa Romeo Zagato TZ3, has formed a partnership with CPP Global Holdings Ltd. CPP is a British coachbuilder owned in part by Russian millionaire Vladimir Antonov and is the recent buyer of...
Current Mercedes GP driver Nico Rosberg will hop behind the wheel of the 1954 Mercedes W196 race car driven to victory by Juan Manuel Fangio at the 1954 German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring during an exhibition event ahead of this year’s Formula 1 race at the famous track, which takes place this weekend. Unlike the current crop of F1 cars...
Jaguar and Land Rover currently rely on engines supplied by former parent Ford for their respective lineups, but in the future the luxury vehicles could feature engines developed jointly with new parent Tata. The information was revealed by Tata’s chairman, Ratan Tata, in his company’s most recent annual report. He said that the goal...
The fastest production car on the planet, the 268-mph capable Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, has touched down in Jay Leno’s Garage and we now have a video of the event. The word supercar doesn’t even start to encapsulate the performance, luxury and sheer excess of the car, ensuring the Veyron Super Sport will remain in a class of its own...
With Saab recently announcing plans for a trio of new models including a new 9-6X crossover, images of a stillborn 9-6 concept vehicle from the earlier part of the last decade have now hit the web and reveal just how far GM’s badge-engineering plans for the Swedish automaker went. But don’t worry, the new 9-6X to be developed jointly...
They often say that money doesn't buy you happiness. That may be true, but there are a lot of jolly multimillionaires out there that argue against that notion. What is fairly certain, though, is that money can't buy you intelligence. Presumably, it's intelligence that earns you money, but sometimes there's a whole lot of money and not a whole lot...
Hyundai as a brand has done what many thought was impossible: in little more than a decade, it has moved from a laughing stock to a serious contender. The Azera has been unique at Hyundai, however looking back at America's luxury heritage, offeringa cushier, comfier experience than just about any other carmaker--but that changes for 2011, with a...
In the midst of its second generation, the Cadillac CTS has fully established its position as a world-class luxury sedan. The 2011 CTS builds on that status with materials, build quality, features, and most of all, styling, that's fully capable of taking on the best Germany and Japan have to offer. In its CTS-V guises, it's one of the most...
