As much a legend as a living, breathing human even during his own abbreviated lifetime, Ayrton Senna continues to have a following that verges on cult status. Here, the Honda sect of the Cult of Senna holds an auditory seance with the F1 pilot's ghost. Well, sort of, anyway. By apparently taking telemetry data and audio samples from 1989, Honda...
Aston Martin and AMG have signed a letter of intent for cooperation--mostly seeing Aston Martin gaining access to AMG's stable of high-power engines. Will this mark a new direction for Aston?

Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout--APEAL--is how J.D. Power measures the 'gratification' a car owner experiences with each new model on the market. For automakers, the vehicles that are the most gratifying, those with the highest APEAL, tend to remain on dealer lots for shorter periods, command higher transaction prices, and are more...
This is our latest look at the upcoming 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe--or is it a new 2015 CL-Class? Whichever name it has, the newest image comes to us not by way of a spy photographer, but via Steve Cannon, Mercedes-Benz USA's CEO, during testing in Death Valley. A name change for the latest generation of the big luxury coupe has been rumored...
The European distributor for expert Corvette tuner Callaway, Callaway Competition of Germany, has started work on a new GT3 race car based on the latest 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.

A mysterious McLaren MP4-12C Spider has been testing at the Nürburgring and on some of the German race track’s surrounding roads for the past couple of weeks. Snapped by one of our photographers just a few days ago, it was initially thought this vehicle was being used to test mild updates for the 12C range. According to McLaren, the car...
There's no doubt that Sabine Schmitz is Queen of the 'Ring. She runs her Ring Taxi Porsche 997 around that stretch of German tarmac in around 7 minutes and 30 seconds with a passenger onboard. The girl can flat out drive the wheels of pretty much anything. Recently, she was challenged by another 'Ring veteran, Ron Simons. This gent is the owner of...
Need for Speed is getting a movie. Hot Wheels will be adapted for film. It should come as no surprise then, seeing how original Hollywood likes to be, that Gran Turismo will get the movie treatment.

Say sayonara to the Infiniti EX and the QX56. They're not dead or anything, they've just legally changed their names. It's the era of Q that is about to dawn for Infiniti, and the EX37 will become the QX50. The QX56 will become the QX80. Why? There are all sorts of marketing reasons behind this, we're sure, but we still prefer the old Infiniti...
