With just 114 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque from its electric motor, you might think the Audi A2 concept is a bit weak--but it weighs just 2,535 pounds and, hey, it's electric. Those figures are actually pretty close to the standard MINI Cooper's, and it's a fun-to-drive car. Getting the same basic job done with electric power and a...
We've gone from teasers to previews to mega-galleries, and we're still not tired of showing you the stunning Jaguar C-X16 concept, on the floor this week at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show and hopefully, on a winding, kinky piece of tarmac within the next 18 months. The C-X16 makes chief designer Ian Callum smile widely, and it's easy to see why: the...
Maserati has revealed its first SUV, the Kubang. [MotorAuthority] Ford finally previews the Fiesta ST in concept form at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. [MotorAuthority] Lexus makes the 2013 GS 450h official in Frankfurt. [GreenCarReports] The 2012 Audi DTM Race Car is based off of the refreshed A5. [MotorAuthority] Audi's A2 Electric Concept...
When we took the wheel of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe on the Circuito Monteblanco in Spain earlier this year, we knew AMG had something special on its hands. Far more focused and capable on track, it is a true competitor to the BMW M3. The Black Series takes the car to yet another level of performance. Adding on the Track Package pushes...
With so much of the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show revealed online in the week before the gates actually opened at the city's Messe, the Land Rover DC100 concept could have been one of that pre-seen crowd. Land Rover had shown the hardtop Defender replacement on the Web as well--but it saved a cut-down, roofless DC100 Sport as a Frankfurt show surprise...
Billed as an evolution of the Concept Universe, the latest forward-looking design out of Volvo is the Concept You, unveiled today in Frankfurt. Taking the full-size sedan conceptualization to the next level might hint that plans for a futuristic Volvo flagship might not be as dead as previously reported. In fact, in direct contradiction to reports...
Though the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster has already made its North American debut at Laguna Seca, complete with a video walkaround from product manager Rob Moran, we can't skip the opportunity to bring you these live images from the floor of the Frankfurt show. The Frankfurt showing is, after all, its official debut. Powered by the same...
Revealed in concept form at this year's Shanghai Auto Show and teased in production trim last month, the Subaru XV crossover is on the floor of the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. American Subaru fans will note (very strong) similarities to what we call the Outback Sport, but Subaru is billing the XV as an all-new model and its first foray into the...
Unveiled this morning to the web's salivating hordes of hot-hatch mongers, the Fiesta ST Concept is a tantalizing piece of small-footprint sportiness. And it looks just as good in person as it does in the official images. Dressed in a sharp shade of red with some nice five-spoke alloy wheels and aggressive aerodynamics, the Fiesta ST on display in...
Shooting brake, n.: (1) A sports car, generally a two-door coupe, with an elongated roof and hatchback-like rear cargo area; (2) completely awesome. The 2013 Fisker Surf, though it's a five-door and perhaps more accurately categorized as a sports hatchback or as a member of the funky new breed of "GT" sedans/hatches, satisfies nearly all of our...
Infiniti's mainstream sister brand, Nissan, has been selling the LEAF electric vehicle just about as quickly as it can build it, but so far, there's been no luxury version for the premium marque. That's going to change in 2014 according to a speech given by Shiro Nakamura, Infiniti's chief creative officer and senior vice president, at the 2011...
Love it or hate it, the SUV has taken the luxury market by storm since its introduction, and only a few brands still don't have at least one offering in the segment. That number is one smaller today, however, as Maserati introduced the Kubang at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. The first thing you're likely to notice about the Kubang is its name...
Though its bigger, production-bound brother, the 2012 Focus ST, stole the hot-hatch limelight yesterday, today Ford released the Fiesta ST Concept, and it just might be the more interesting of the two. Packing a 177-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine inside an exterior that draws inspiration from the Fiesta RS WRC rally car...
Yes, hot hatch fans, we're finally getting one of Ford's proper Focuses in ST trim. No, it's not an RS. Yes, you'll get over it. What you might not get over is the fact that we're not getting the wagon. Fortunately, we think the hatchback is the better looker of the two, and these live photos show that off to good effect. For the full details on...
There's no dearth of delicious OEM sheet metal in the halls of the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, but that's no reason to overlook the aftermarket--particularly when it's as impressive as Brabus' all-electric rendition of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Powered by four in-wheel electric motors (making it all-wheel drive) good for 429 horsepower and a...
