As we previously learned, Button managed to set a time of 53 seconds...
There are four of them at the Nissan factory in Yokohama. They are called the Takumi, and they are the craftsmen behind the great 3.8-liter engine that fits into the engine bay of the R35 Nissan GT-R. These are hand-built motors, and each one receives the builder's signature plaque when it's finished. Nissan recently brought cameras into its...
We finally have the full official details on the 2014 BMW i3, and it's a pretty impressive package on paper. But will it drive like a true BMW, or will it succumb to its eco-conscious, high-tech design parameters? Lamborghini may be working on a Veneno Roadster. Why? Because they can, and because there are certainly three or four people who'd buy...

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has only just made its entrance into the world. That doesn't seem to matter to Brabus, the Benz super tuner with a penchant for high horsepower and speedo-twisting top speeds. Brabus has just released its specs for three available S-Class packages, and the results are rather impressive. The Brabus-tuned S-Class...
Is Lamborghini planning to launch a Veneno Roadster? According to a new report the Italian automaker may in fact be, and up to nine examples may be built instead of the limited run of just four Veneno coupes. Cars UK is claiming to have heard from several loyal Lamborghini customers who say a dealer has asked them whether they would be interested...
The BMW i3, or MegaCity vehicle as it was once known, has finally been unveiled, and it's an interesting mixture of traits and capabilities. But will it set the new benchmark for urban motoring when it hits the streets in 2014? To answer that question--at least preliminarily--we'll have to examine the key features of any electric vehicle aiming...
Winning the Hungarian Grand Prix wasn’t the only reason for Mercedes-Benz to celebrate this past weekend.

The 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show is still more than a month away but Audi already wants us to get excited about a new car it plans to unveil at the event.

The French government has taken formal steps to outlaw the sale of certain Mercedes-Benz models due to the German automaker’s decision to revert back to an older form of air-conditioner refrigerant (R134a) that has been banned by the European Union for new models due to its harmful effects on greenhouse gases. A cleaner refrigerant has been...
