With a classic collector car like the 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, there's always a good reason to buy the car: the car itself. But this time, there's an additional incentive to keep bidding, and it doesn't have anything to do with collectibility or simple aesthetics. The proceeds will go to benefit the tornado-stricken town of Joplin, Missouri. For...
About four years ago German tuner Ruf first revealed its third-generation CTR supercar, the aptly named CTR 3, as well as announcing a new development center in Bahrain. Well, Ruf has now gone and updated its CTR 3, extensively redesigning the chassis so that the original rear-engine design adopted from its Porsche donor car has now been converted...
Comedian and television personality Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of cars but until now we were never sure if he could really drive. Turns out Leno is quite the ace behind the wheel, managing to complete a lap of the notorious Nurburgring-Nordschleife in just 8:41 in the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S after just a few short hours of practice. His instructor was...
John Force finally won his 133rd NHRA Funny Car race at Bandimere Speedway in the 32nd annual Mopar Mile High Nationals outside Denver, CO. The No. 5 qualifier took his Ford Mustang to the finals today after beating former protege Tony Pedregon, teammate Mike Neff and Jeff Arend, meeting nemesis Matt Hagan in the money round. Although Hagan had...
Lexus is currently working on a brand new version of its GS sedan, which it has already previewed in concept form and recently confirmed it reveal in production trim at next month’s 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California. Turns out the automaker is now considering launching a coupe version of its new mid-range sedan, a luxury...
He’s done it again. McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton has won his second race of the season after taking top honors yesterday at the 2011 Formula 1 German Grand Prix, which surprisingly turned out to be relatively dry. After starting in second, the young Brit managed to fight off Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber who was on pole to take the...
Though it isn’t set to go on sale until the end of the year, the new 2012 Honda CR-V crossover has been previewed in concept form and it’s safe to say the upcoming production version will closely resemble the lines seen here today. It looks as though we’ll get a fairly conventional crossover design for the new CR-V, though...
The 2012 Porsche 911 is scheduled for its world debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show this September but barely disguised prototypes are currently running around the south of Germany as this latest video reveals. It shows one of the prototypes, a base Carrera model, on some roads near the automaker’s manufacturing facility in Zuffenhausen...
About a month ago reports surfaced claiming Mercedes-Benz was planning to launch its own coupe-like crossover to target the BMW X6 and Acura ZDX. The rakish crossover, most likely to be called a GLS to signify its upmarket positioning, is expected to be based on the same unibody platform as the recently revealed 2012 M-Class and launched onto the...
In order to compete with the brand new 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class arriving next year, BMW will launch a facelifted version of its 7-Series, which has been spied testing in prototype form. As can be seen by these latest spy shots, BMW is leaving its flagship sedan relatively unchanged. That’s because most of the changes planned will be taking...
BMW changed its formula for the Z4 when it introduced a new generation in the spring of 2009. Gone was the popular roadster’s low weight and bare essentials design, replaced instead with a more luxurious grand tourer look and feel as well as an automated folding metal roof. It’s clear that BMW was targeting buyers of the Mercedes-Benz...
It's been a hot couple of days at Bandimere Speedway outside Denver, CO, where the NHRA is holding its 32nd annual Mopar Mile High Nationals. With nearly fully clear skies and temperatures hovering near the century mark, it's a wonder anyone got down the track. But they did it in style over two days and four qualifying sessions, with very...
