The other day when I saw the new Ferrari video pitting the F40 against the 599 GTB, I was thinking about how much the supercar industry has changed in the past 20 years. Back around the time the F40 came out in 1987, it was the fastest car in the world, replacing the Porsche 959. Eventually it lost the crown to the Lamborghini Diablo. Three of the...
Drag racing is a hard thing to do on a budget; it's a sport measured in cubic dollars. But many people manage to bend that immutable rule by doing a lot of work themselves. Sometimes that goes wrong. In this case, it could have gone horribly wrong, but, as this video dug up by Autoblog shows, sometimes a quick reaction to an unexpected equipment...
If you've been on the list to own a 2012 Fisker Karma, you've probably been waiting a while--it's been on the show circuit for about three years now. The first deliveries to customers just started a few months ago, but Fisker says it will have the majority of its 3,000 reservation holders driving in Karmic style by the end of the year. That's what...
“A four-cylinder? It's fuel-efficient? How much power? Nice!” That's the sort of reaction we found from several middle-age suburbanites who momentarily interrupted their community-center fitness group to ask us some questions about the new 2012 Range Rover Evoque—all the while, gushing about the design. And it's a scenario that...
Photos by Alex Bellus Say you have a family of four plus a dog, a job downtown as a mid-level executive, and you are a proud American. What do you drive? While you'd love to have a muscle car, your wife says a two-door just isn't practical right now. Well, let me introduce you to the new 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8, the muscle car for grown-ups. Design...
Early this year, Chrysler began talking about a return of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer nameplate as an upscale, seven-seat SUV--to share a platform with a then-unnamed Maserati SUV. It was due to arrive in January 2013, but today, a new slide from Chrysler says it won't show until 2014. The Maserati Kubang may have some influence on that, as it's...
Talk about a "Panamera Junior," or Pajun for short, has been whipping about the web all year long. The latest moves the talk into more detailed territory, but remains tentative at best. Dug up by CAR Online as part of its ongoing "scoops" on Porsche's next round of vehicles, the details say the upcoming Pajun will launch in 2016. It's expected to...
Croatia doesn't sound like anything familiar to Americans, but Europeans have been calling it the "new Tuscany" since they turned their timeshare-building, economy-hyperinflating attentions away from the last "new Tuscany" in southern Spain. We're still puzzled about what was wrong with the old Tuscany, but forget that. Croatia has it all...
While most of Lexus' range is a carry-over of a carry-over, to boost its appeal Lexus today announced three new special-edition models, available for the 2012 LS 460, ES 350, and CT 200h. For the LS 460 Sport Special Edition, it's an added dose of sport that's on order: upgrades include Brembo brakes, a "sport-tuned" air suspension, variable ratio...
The DeltaWing Project 56 car unveiled at Le Mans this June has added an important partner, as Michelin has agreed to become the tire supplier for the vehicle that will occupy the 56th garage at the 24 Heures du Mans next year, a space reserved for technologically innovative race cars. Announced prior to the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta by...
