When we first saw the new C63 AMG Coupe Black Series last month, Mercedes-Benz mentioned that the car would be available with two new AMG packages (Track and Aerodynamics) but failed to give any substantial details. Today we have spy shots of an AMG prototype fitted with both packages, revealing an almost race car like look for the luxury...
Ferrari has taken the wraps off the convertible version of its 458 Italia, and as we predicted, the stunning supercar has gained a retractable hard-top. This makes the new Ferrari 458 Spider the world’s first mid-engined car with a retractable hard-top. For Ferrari, the decision was easy. The design allows the 458 Spider to almost equal its...

The car in these latest spy shots may look like an ordinary 2012 Jaguar XFR, but look a little closer and you'll notice that it's wearing the...
The debut of the new 2012 Porsche 911 is coming quickly, but that hasn't stopped the Porsche PR team from deciding to tease us with two videos of the latest iteration of this legendary sports car.
