It’s a sad fact that the majority of performance car owners don’t really have the skill to drive the cars as they were intended. Any number of performance driving schools around the country have been established to help you avoid this pitfall, however, one of which is the Skip Barber High Performance Driving School. Another is the new...
For Ford, July 30th is a special day that is permanently marked on the automaker's calendar. One hundred and fifty years ago on that date Henry Ford was brought into the world, and the Blue Oval brand's future was set into motion. 'The automaker is celebrating the occasion alongside the state of Michigan, which has named July 30th Henry Ford Day...
Lamborghini has unveiled another special-edition Gallardo, this time based on their Super Trofeo race cars, called the Squadra Corse. It's bred to be as close to the race car as possible, while still being street legal--and relatively comfortable. BMW's new 328d diesel luxury sedan has been rated by the EPA, earning some pretty impressive figures...
Porsche will present two very special vehicles at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance taking place this month, the 918 Spyder, still in prototype guise, and the recently revealed 911 50th Anniversary Edition. We won’t get to see the production 918 Spyder until the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show in September but the prototype is...
Buyers looking for performance, luxury and stellar fuel economy, your car has arrived. Yes, with the new 2014 BMW 328d, you really can have it all. The complete 328d range, which includes sedan and wagon bodystyles, the latter offered exclusively with all-wheel drive, comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that develops a stout...
The Los Angeles Auto Show doesn’t boast the international awareness that rival auto shows in New York and Detroit enjoy, but it still manages to draw in the big crowds with a handful of important reveals every year. The annual show in L.A. is typically where automakers present their models that are about to hit showrooms and this year looks...
Enjoy this new video of a prototype for the 2015 Ford Mustang, the sixth generation of the iconic muscle car. The updates to the new Mustang, an S550 to all the fans, will be some of the most significant in the nameplate’s history. And perhaps of most significance is the fact that the car will be sold globally, enabling muscle fans from all...
A brand new generation of the MINI Cooper is just around the corner, and that means replacements for all the different variants including the sportier S and John Cooper Works trims, as well as all the other bodystyles MINI is now offering. We were recently given a preview of the styling of the new MINI Cooper with the MINI Vision concept car, but...
Rumors of a convertible version of the Scion FR-S and its Toyota GT 86 twin have been circulating for years and really heated up with the reveal of the FT-86 Open concept car at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show back in March, but sadly it looks like plans for the cars have now been dropped. Automotive News (subscription required), without citing a...
We see numerous replica supercars come and go, including some that could fool even an expert’s eye, but rarely do you hear of the cars’ builders being busted by the cops, despite the obvious copyright infringements and other breaches of the law that typically go hand in hand with replica supercars. That wasn’t the case for the...
Ferrari has a long and prestigious history in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a history that has led to many a story, including the famous one of Ford and its GT40 ending the dominance of the Prancing Horse at Le Mans back in 1965. The Italian automaker has nine overall wins at Le Mans and is one of the biggest names to ever race on the famous Circuit de...
It was only a few months ago that Lamborghini founded its Squadra Corse department to handle its motorsport activities, including its one-make series, the Blancpain Super Trofeo. The Super Trofeo race series spawned its own special-edition racing Gallardo, and now the Squadra Corse department has given us another. Also based on the Gallardo Super...
McLaren Automotive and Forza 5 teamed up earlier this year to offer a competition with the grand prize being a ride-along in the McLaren P1. With little more than dropping your name in a digital hat as the price of entry, the P1 ride-along was quite the enticing prize. For one lucky participant, the prize became reality--at the Goodwood Festival...
While we're not always fans of replicars, sometimes the enthusiasm of the owner/builder--and their attention to detail--wins us over. This is one of those times. Ivan Sentch, a New Zealander and Aston Martin devotee, has decided to build a full-scale 3D printed model of an Aston Martin DB4. He's already made considerable progress, with much of the...
Earlier today, we brought you fresh spy shots of a test mule for a new coupe crossover Mercedes-Benz plans to launch in 2015. The vehicle, based on the bones of the M-Class, is aimed directly at the BMW X6 and a similar coupe crossover being developed by Audi. According to a new report, the new Mercedes, which most are predicting to be labeled an...
