BMW is just months away from revealing its first front-wheel-drive model, which for all intents and purposes is likely to be labeled a 1-Series Gran Turismo. The car will be available in a variety of forms, such as five- and seven-seat versions, and come with the choice of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powerplants. We were given a preview as to how...
Last week Saleen Automotive announced it had finalized the merger of the original Saleen Autosport with founder Steve Saleen’s more recent SMS Signature Cars project. The company also revealed that it was sitting on a pile of $3 million in fresh investment. Part of that investment, Saleen said, would go to fund the development of a new...
On Sunday, drivers will line up on the grid at the Nürburgring (the GP circuit and not the full Nordschleife) to take part in the sixtieth edition of the Formula One German Grand Prix. While every alternate year the race takes place at the nearby Hockenheimring, it is the race at the Nürburgring that holds the most clout. The...
The first images of the all-new 2014 Mazda 3 sedan have hit the Web early, thanks to a number of leaks overnight. As expected, the redesigned sedan shares its styling with the 2014 Mazda 3 hatchback revealed last week, except for its trunk section, which adopts a traditional notchback design. Mazda’s Kodo design theme is said to be...
Danger, difficulty, and death: these mark the history of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, or TT. But these are not its defining features, or at least not the only ones. In fact, as we noted in our goodbye to the Subaru WRX STI and in our look at the isle's mitochondrial love of motorsports, the real defining feature of the Manx is their pure...
With BMW having already shown its all-new 2014 4-Series Coupe, engineers have become a little more lax with camouflage gear for the car’s convertible sibling, which is yet to be officially revealed. Here we see several prototypes for the new 2014 BMW 4-Series Convertible, with tops up and down. The new variant is expected to arrive in...
Cars and watches go (ahem) hand in hand. Watchmakers have been teaming up with automotive brands to produce a wide range of timepieces. Some are affordable, while others require you to actually enter, race, and win some of the most grueling motorsports competitions on the planet. One well-known car guy is jumping into the fray and launching his...
Gran Turismo 6 will be here soon enough. The latest game in the GT series is slated to hit stores on November 28th. Even though that is still a few months away, there are already retailers clamoring for your hard-earned pre-order dough. One of the most notable early deals comes by way of Amazon.com, which is willing to pony up a bit of its own...
The epitome of the Mercedes-Benz brand when it comes to speed as well as luxury, the AMG line of cars presents many interesting opportunities--not to mention a ton of fun on track. Two of the best examples of the range are new for 2014 and we now know what they cost. Up first, the SLS AMG Black Series. We drove the car earlier this year, all...
Track rats, rejoice. You have a new option in the area of dedicated track weapons, and this one bears the name VŪHL on its nose. We've been showing you teasers for a bit now, but the manufacturer has decided to show off all of the 05's goods. That's just what we're dealing with here too, all sorts of "goods" because this is a roofless machine...
German tuner Novitec, an expert at drawing maximum performance out of Ferraris and Maseratis through its respective Novitec Rosso and Novitec Tridente divisions, has now turned its attention towards the Lamborghini marque. The tuning of the Raging Bulls at Novitec will be handled by the newly-established Novitec Torado division, and the...
