Bugatti has presented the first of six new special edition Veyrons, which celebrate the men that have shaped the marque’s history. The series is called the Les Légendes de Bugatti (Bugatti Legends) and the first one showed up at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The special editions will all be based on the Veyron Grand...
The racing version of the seventh-generation Corvette made a surprise showing at this past weekend’s 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Though heavily camouflaged, it’s clear the new race car, whose official title is C7.R, will closely resemble its road-going cousin. Toyota has revealed its new Yaris Hybrid-R concept ahead of...
It was ten years ago that we first saw a Ram Rumble Bee introduced. Inspired by the Super Bee muscle car of the late '60s, the vehicle came with a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 good for 345 horsepower and a sporty body kit to match the grunt under the hood. This weekend, at the 2013 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit, Michigan, Ram unveiled a modern version of...
If you've never been to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance at the end of Monterey Car Week, you owe it to yourself to attend at least once. It's a car lover's Mecca, complete with daily rituals that draw everyone in the same direction. Unfortunately that equates to a wheeled millipede of traffic within a 10-mile radius of 17 Mile Drive, but...
While in the U.S. the hottest Honda Civic on offer is the very capable--albeit somewhat dull--Civic Si, over in Europe they have the Civic Type R, a high-revving hot hatch with race-inspired looks, taut suspension and impeccable handling. With the release of a brand new Civic in the European market recently, performance fans are eagerly awaiting...
Toyota’s new Yaris Hybrid-R concept car has been revealed ahead of its debut next month at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show. The concept was developed to showcase technology from the automaker’s TS030 Hybrid Le Mans prototype in a road car application as well as lay the groundwork for the launch of a new generation of high-performance...
Action at several of the auctions taking place over the weekend at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance served as yet another indication that the passion for vintage sports cars, particular those with a Prancing Horse attached, continues to build at a fever pitch. At an RM Auctions sale, a show-stopping 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 S NART...
Auto industry veteran Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, aged 63, was killed in a motorcycle crash on Saturday at Brands Hatch in the U.K. He was practicing for a classic motorcycle race when the tragic accident occurred. He allegedly came off his bike while exiting a corner and was struck by another rider. He eventually succumbed to his injuries at the nearby...
Following the reveal of the Subaru’s BRZ tS concept car a fortnight ago, the Japanese automaker has now launched the production version, though sadly the car is only offered in the automaker’s home market. But what exactly is the BRZ tS? It’s simply a version of the Subaru sports car fitted with performance upgrades from the...
Jewelry-rattlers and journosaurs aren't the reason to attend the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, or to fight off sleeporexia to be there by 4 a.m. for Dawn Patrol, when the field of entrants rolls on to the wet grass before any real light is shed on the possible winners and the also-rans. It's the sense of history. The Pebble Beach Concours is...
