In an attempt to target ‘millennials,’ those born from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, Dodge has called on popular musician and rapper Pitbull to help promote its 2013 Dart. Pitbull, whose real name is Armando Pérez, is featured in a series of television commercials for the compact sedan. Not only that but his new song, Drop...
A 14-month old girl bought a classic Austin-Healey Sprite with her father's mobile phone--and got to keep the car. It looks like it should be just about ready by the time she gets her license. Cool. The 2014 Land Rover LR4 has been spied in testing, showing us what to expect from the next update of its most utilitarian SUV. And BMW has unveiled...
We’ve been reporting for several years on Mercedes-Benz’s plans to launch a new compact crossover based on its ‘MFA’ small car platform, which is currently found in the latest A Class and B Class models sold overseas as well as the 2014 CLA Class four-door coupe that's just landed in the U.S. Mercedes-Benz then made its...
Aston Martin’s forward-looking CC100 Speedster concept will headline the British automaker’s showcase at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, which kicks off in the U.K. today and runs until Sunday. Aston Martin, of course, is celebrating its centenary this year and understandably most of its festivities in Goodwood this weekend will...
A new supercar is brewing, one with the performance and looks to rival a Bugatti Veyron. The project is taking place in Australia, of all places, and right now is in its very early stages. The new supercar, which hasn’t even received a name yet, is the brainchild of Australian entrepreneur Paul Halstead. The 67-year-old, who made his fortune...
In March we first reported that Jaguar design boss Ian Callum, the man responsible for the styling of the original Aston Martin Vanquish as well as the latest F-Type sports car, had commissioned the rebuild of a very special Jaguar Mk2. At the time, Callum said he would be making a few tweaks to improve the stance of the car, simplify some of the...
Honda has picked Milton Keynes in the U.K. for the site of its new Formula One operations. The British town is famous in the world of motorsport for being the home of Red Bull Racing, and soon Honda’s F1 engineers will call it home as well. Honda announced in May it would be returning to F1 in 2015 as an engine supplier, initially to the...
Land Rover’s LR4 (a Discovery to our non-U.S. readers) is set to receive a raft of updates that will bring the go-just-about-anywhere SUV into line with the latest additions from the British automaker. This means efficiency gains across the range, LED-enhanced headlights and a much more luxurious interior. What we can ascertain from these...
It's rare that concept cars are very concept-y at all anymore. BMW is one of the worst offenders, showing what are basically production cars with funky wheels and calling them concepts. But sometimes we don't care. BMW's Concept Active Tourer Outdoor is ostensibly aimed at outdoorsy types. We don't really even care about the two-bike transport...
The Jaguar-Land Rover group is in the process of a new product onslaught. With the new 2013 Range Rover, 2014 Jaguar F-Type, and now the 2014 Range Rover Sport, there's no shortage of new metal being introduced. But are all these new vehicles winners? The new 2013 Range Rover was the first of these three vehicles to launch. By going all-aluminum...
HSV, official tuner to Holden in Australia, has released its first television advertisement for its new flagship, the 2013 GTS sedan. The car sits atop the latest Gen-F range of high-powered sedans, utes and wagons and comes to the market with a supercharged LSA V-8 engine delivering 580 horsepower and 545 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels...
We often say the love of cars is something in our blood. For one Portland, Oregon toddler, it may be in the genes. At just 14 months old, Sorella Stoute bought a 1962 Austin-Healey Sprite on eBay. Unfortunately, it's not exactly a sterling example, its doors painted "Frankensprite." Fortunately, the purchase price was just $225. How did the...
There's been a lot of hype around Sebastien Loeb's record run, but here we have something that needs no hype, no music, no adornment. It's just pure, beautifully shot footage of Jeff Zwart's 2013 Pikes Peak hill climb run in his Porsche 911. That 911 is no run-of-the-mill road car, either. It's a Carrera Cup car chassis with the 600-plus...
A classic Ford Mustang is a wonderful item to put in anyones garage. Make it a Shelby GT500, however, and you're owning an excellent example of a rare piece of motoring history. What could you do to make it even more rare? Find an GT500 that was owned by the man whose name is on the back, Carroll Shelby. Now's your chance to do just that because...
