Head-up display systems have been around for decades but despite their added safety (by allowing you to keep your eyes on the road) you still won't find it a standard feature in many cars. If you’ve bought a car and discovered that it didn't have a head-up display, there are a growing number of affordable aftermarket kits available...
Juan Manual Fangio is one of the original legends of F1, and perhaps the greatest. His W196 R 1954 F1 car is nearly as legendary, and now it belongs to a new owner. Fangio's Silver Arrow sold at a Bonhams auction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed today for £17.5 million, or about $26.4 million. The price tag is mind-numbing--and in fact may...
The 2014 Bentley Continental GT3 race car is finally official, and it looks like it's well-equipped for the fiece competition that is international GT racing. Will the 600-horsepower racer have what it takes? We'll all find out next season. Mazda's 2014 Mazda3 sedan has hit the web, and like its hatchback counterpart, it's pretty darn sharp. We've...
The completed version of Bentley’s Continental GT3 race car made its official world debut at the 2013 Goodwood Festival Of Speed in the U.K. earlier today, and we now have a set of photos taken at its unveiling. The race car is based on the road-going Continental GT V8 and is an evolution of the Continental GT3 concept we first saw at the...
A demo version of Gran Turismo 6 has just been launched and allows players to drive at the Silverstone circuit, but when the final version arrives at the end of the year players will also be able to select one other famous British driving course: the hill climb on the grounds of Goodwood House. Yes, Polyphony Digital, the makers of the Gran...
Formula One ace Fernando Alonso has given a candid interview to German television station RTL. Oh, and he just so happened to conduct it while driving a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta on the notorious Nürburgring Nordschleife. Alonso provides some honest insight into his own performance and the performance of the Ferrari team this season and also...
With a population exceeding one billion and a voracious appetite for luxury goods, it’s only a matter of time until China overtakes the U.S. as the single biggest market for premium cars. China is already the biggest market for new cars and this year the country is expected to overtake Europe in terms of car production. Now BMW, the...
Bentley’s new Continental GT-based race car made its official world debut today at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the big bruiser also made a dramatic run up the event’s famous hill climb. The new race car follows on from an original concept version unveiled at the 2012 Paris Auto Show and has been designed for GT3...
Mazda has just unveiled a stylish new generation of its popular Mazda 3 hatchback and sedan but hasn’t made mention of a high-performance Mazdaspeed version just yet. The former Mazdaspeed 3 is a favorite at Motor Authority because of its strong performance and low pricing, and a new version based on the redesigned 2014 Mazda 3 would surely...
The 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed is officially underway and as in every year a massive sculpture has been unveiled on the grounds of Goodwood House. This year the sculpture has been designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 and as such the iconic sports car has been incorporated with its design. It features three generations of...
Official details for the all-new 2014 Mazda 3 sedan have finally hit the Web, revealing the stylish compact from virtually every angle. As expected, the redesigned sedan shares its styling with the 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback revealed last month, except for its trunk section, which adopts a traditional notchback design. Mazda’s Kodo design theme...
Much ado has been made about Tesla Motors' profitable first quarter of 2013, as well as its 4,750-unit production during the same period. Now, Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] appears to be on track to exceed even its rather optimistic goals. The goal for the first full year of production of the Model S was 20,000 units. Telsa's Q1 volume of 4,750 cars...
The long-awaited M version of the latest generation ‘F30’ BMW 3-Series Sedan is on track for a debut later this year, and these latest shots show the most complete prototype we’ve seen yet, sporting a carbon fiber roof (under camouflage) for the first time. Of course, the M3 will only be available in sedan form this time around...
Once a beacon for thieves, the Cadillac Escalade is no longer the most stolen vehicle in the country and is actually outranked by five other vehicles. The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) has just released its annual top-ten lists of the most stolen vehicles from the 2010 to 2012 model years, and sitting at the top is the Ford F-250. This is the...
Military intelligence and jumbo shrimp are the classic oxymorons that keep garden-variety morons like me awake at night. Toss in a third mindbender--"sporty SUV"--and the WTF factor does a damn fine job of counteracting jet lag. We drove headlong into all three in the course of our first drive of the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, wending...
