Gear up, muscle car fans, as we've once again got an exclusive scoop on what's in store for you. The horsepower wars are most certainly not over.

We’ve been reporting on GM’s European division Opel working on a new flagship for the past several years, and at one point there was a very good chance that the automaker was in fact doing just that. However, with the recent financial crisis and GM’s own viability in question, a new high-end flagship was the last thing Opel...
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro is tearing up the sales charts and for good reason--it offers performance in spades, chiseled good looks, and for 2011 a convertible option. This is only the second model year for the latest generation Camaro so there are few updates over last year’s model, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good option...
In standard trim the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is already quite the potent performance machine, but hand it over to tuning firm Hennessey and the CTS-V can be transformed into a ballistic supercar. Hennessey is no stranger to high-performance Cadillacs, the Texas-based tuner having already churned out 650 and 700 horsepower beasts, but now it’s...
Neither Top Gear USA nor The Car Show have managed to create much excitement here in the U.S., but local broadcasters are determined to produce an auto-related television show that will appeal to American masses. Now BBC America is entering the fray, announcing the new show Hard Drive that will feature British Top Gear personality Richard Hammond...
Ferrari recently held a competition that pitted up-and-coming designers from all around the globe to design what it described as a hypercar that takes all aspects of its design to extremes, from architecture to propulsion. While the winning entry was the Eternita created by students at Seoul's Hongik University, second place went to the Xezri...
We’ve known about the upgraded 2012 Cadillac SRX for a while now, namely, that it would be receiving a more powerful 3.6-liter V-6 engine as the sole powertrain, but now we know the rest of the changes GM has executed on its compact luxury crossover. Starting with the engine, codenamed LFX, it is a 3.6-liter unit delivering 308 horsepower...

"Racing is not just driving fast, it's a way of life." If that's the case for the famed drift car driver, then the same can be said for 26-year-old Natalie Sather of Fargo, ND. After gutting out a 2010 season in which she tackled a wrist injury during a race at South Boston Speedway, the third-year NASCAR Whelen All-American late model series...
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class, the second-generation of Mercedes’ entry-level convertible, is now in its final year and understandably it's starting to show its age against newer rivals such as the BMW Z4, which recently underwent a complete redesign. While the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class is on its way, the existing 2011 model is...
As Volvo's flagship sedan, the 2011 S80 carries the honor and duty of packing the most technology, safety, comfort, and space of any of its four-doored road cars. It shoulders the burden well, but when taken against the grander field of the competition, it sometimes leaves the driver wanting. MotorAuthority rates the 2011 Volvo S80 7 out of 10...
Forget everything you thought you knew about Volvo when it comes to performance sedans. The 2011 S60 is a driver's sport luxury sedan, with fresh new looks and a host of high-tech safety aids you won't find elsewhere. MotorAuthority rates the 2011 S60 8 out of 10. With its all-new design punched up all over the Internet with an eye-popping orange...
The Volkswagen CC isn't the first four-door coupe on the market, but it's the first to price the form factor within reach of the general public. Because the four-door coupe has largely been a high-end luxury item, the CC looks more expensive than it is--but in truth, it's essentially just a restyled Passat. MotorAuthority sees through the hype and...
