The Fiat 500 has just hit showrooms and is set to be joined in the very near future by its 500 Cabrio sibling, but in a few short years the 500 lineup will expand to no less than five unique variants. The first of three new variants, the sporty Fiat 500 Abarth, has already been confirmed for a debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show in November...
The Lexus CT 200h was introduced as a brand new model only last year so for 2012 the updates have been kept to a minimum. However, we're glad to report that the F Sport range of accessories for the CT 200h hybrid hatchback that we saw in concept form last October is finally ready for sale. The F Sport accessories come as an available package...
The last we heard, Lincoln was delaying the introduction of its redesigned MKZ sedan from an original launch in early 2012 to sometime closer to the end of that same year. The main reason was due to a final design not being locked in. Ford is desperate to transform Lincoln into the great American luxury brand it once was, going so far to establish...
Rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z take a perfectly fine Maybach sedan and then proceed to tear it apart in their latest film clip for the song Otis, before transforming what’s left of the wreckage into a flame-spitting roadster. Why they do it isn’t really explained in the clip, though it wouldn’t be the first time rap stars attempted...
America’s own Shelby SuperCars (SSC), the maker of the Ultimate Aero TT, has gone to Shanghai, China for the first official public debut of its next supercar project, the 275 mph Tuatara. A concept of the car was previously shown to a select group of clientele but this is the first time that potential buyers, as well as the media, were...
With all of its rivals currently in their second generation or later, the Audi Q7 is starting to get very long in the tooth and is in desperate need of a makeover. Not to worry as Audi is hard at work developing a new Q7 luxury SUV, which once again will be based on a common platform shared with the current generation Volkswagen Touareg and...
What started last October, the story behind Ferrari aficionado James Glickenhaus and his Ferrari P4/5 Competizione race car, has now come to an end, with the final two episodes of the series surfacing online. In case you missed the previous episodes, you can view them here: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. In the last two episodes we get to see the car...
The Mercedes-Benz CLS ignited the four-door coupe market when it was first introduced back in 2004, and since then we’ve seen several other luxury rivals attempt to emulate the design with cars like the Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide and recently launched Audi A7. With the second-generation CLS, which went on sale earlier this year...
While Volvo's former R models—like the iconic 850 T5 R—included a host of performance enhancements, the company's R-Design models have offered a different type of performance kick, more focused on look and feel than on zero-to-60 times. For 2012, R-Design models are offered for the C30, S60, XC60, and XC90. each of the available...
Take one look at the 2011 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design—especially its extensive badging, different trims and details, and somewhat lower stance—and combined with the moniker you might guess that Volvo has added what's essentially a sport appearance package to the S60. But it's much more extensive than that. With a higher-output engine, a...
Testing vehicles in Arctic winter or Death Valley summer conditions is, typically, limited to those places and seasons. For Mercedes-Benz, though, that's no longer the case: its climate tunnels can simulate any conditions on earth. The video below gives you the quick-and-dirty low-down on the tunnels, but for a deeper look at what they can do and...
We refuse to call mostly understeering around in a circle "drifting," but that doesn't lessen the comedic value of this driver's ham-fisted attempt: midway through his run, the side airbags deploy. No, he didn't slam into the barriers, or strike anything else that would have set off the airbags. The only thing we can see that might have done it is...
When it first debuted at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the Cadillac Converj Concept confirmed Cadillac knows how to style a sporty, luxurious hybrid--but despite talk from GM, including then-product-supremo Bob Lutz, few in the industry expected it to reach production. Now, two years after the plan was canned, it's back in the limelight--and it'll...
We all know the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is one of the most expensive cars in the world. Actually, make that the most expensive car in the world, or at least the most expensive new car to ever be advertised. Tom Hartley, a luxury car dealer in England, has taken possession of one and is asking 2.1 million pounds--about $3.4 million dollars--for...
