Toyota's dropped a new YouTube video of its FT-86 II concept. We've talked about the admittedly gorgeous concept so much--as recently as this year's 2011 Geneva Motor Show--we're not sure what else to say about the FT, which embarked a few years ago on a gestation cycle longer than that endured by some of the biggest mammals on the planet. Since...
There are all manner of rumors and conjecture surrounding the development of a high-performance Lexus GS F, including reports claiming the car could borrow the LFA’s V-10, go the hybrid route, or simply feature a regular V-8. The latest speculation is that the car will be coming in time for the 2014 model year complete with a supercharged...
Audi’s R8 LMS race car has been with us for a little over two years now, and during that time has notched up quite a number of wins, including more than 100 GT3 class wins in Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. Audi is now preparing the R8 LMS customer race car for the U.S. A dedicated racing version conforming to Grand-Am regulations...
In standard trim the Lexus LFA supercar has lapped the notorious Nurburgring-Nordschleife in a reasonable 7:38, but now the car equipped with its optional Nurburgring Package has done the feat in just 7:14.64. Yes, you read that correctly. And here's the video to prove it. Not only is this time amazing for a naturally aspirated, rear-wheel drive...
Lotus has already confirmed that it’s bringing a handful of new models to next week’s 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, only two of which have been announced. They are the supercharged Elise S, which will replace the Elise SC, as well as the production version of the Evora GTE Road Car Concept. Not much else is known about the other models...
The new 2012 BMW 1-Series Hatchback will make its official debut next week at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, and BMW will use the opportunity to showcase a range of new accessories for it falling under the BMW Performance heading. While the new 1-Series Hatchback is yet to be confirmed for sale in the U.S., many of the accessories you see here, if...
It’s official. After months of failed funding negations and ceased production, Saab, along with its Saab Powertrain and Saab Tools subsidiaries, has announced today that it has filed for voluntary bankruptcy protection with the District Court in Vanersborg, Sweden. The reorganization will be a self-managed, legal process under Swedish law...
We already have a pretty good indication as to what the upcoming 2013 Ford B-Max will look like thanks to the unveiling of the almost production ready B-Max Concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. However, what we don’t know is whether the B-Max will be coming to the U.S. One strong indicator that the tall-riding mini may come to the U.S. was...
There’s a new Audi model coming that will be positioned between the entry-level A1 and A3 Hatchback and soon-to-be released A3 Sedan, and now we have our first tangible evidence as to how it may look. We’re of course talking about the Audi A2, the long-rumored successor to the previous aluminum constructed A2 hatch that was...
Even though it's the year 2011 and NASCAR's former "young gun" is now a seasoned veteran, 40-year-old Jeff Gordon drove like a youthful spirit on the slick 1.54-mile Atlanta Motor Speedway. On a somewhat misty and soggy Tuesday at Hampton, GA, Chevrolet Volt fan Gordon rocketed his way en route to his fifth career win at the famed track. Starting...
The average person might look at the proposed ~$2 million, 800 horsepower Bugatti 16C Galibier and think: "What a ridiculously over-the-top waste of resources." A Bugatti fan might think: "That is the coolest sedan I've ever seen in my life." Bugatti chief Wolfgang Durheimer, on the other hand, thinks: "Not outrageous enough." According to a...
With a fresher image, a more premium feel, and an eye toward taking the fight to the competition, the 2012 Audi A6 represents an important step for Audi, but is it up to the task? MotorAuthority rates the 2012 A6 a solid 8 out of 10. Like the rest of Audi's 2012 lineup, the A6 gets a new, brand-defined front end, a smooth, uncluttered body, and a...
Jaguar's C-X75 concept, as wild as it is, is still headed for (very limited) production. The latest concept, due for a complete unveiling at the Frankfurt Auto Show, is the C-X16 Production Concept, shown here in the first official images, and it looks much more like something that will see high-volume production. That, of course, is because it...
The 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the Monterey Motorsport Reunion are just a couple of weeks behind us, but we already have more incredible vintage sports and racing car action to look forward to: the Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV heads to Laguna Seca October 14-16. Highlighting Porsche's long history in racing, including the many...
