All teams competing in Formula E’s inaugural season will use a common chassis being developed by Renault together with...
Florida is the site of many things--most of them bizarre and occasionally unfathomable acts of stupidity. But it may also soon be the site of a new exotic car manufacturing plant, if Spain's a.d. Tramontana gets its way. The Spanish company is considering the Sarasota-Manatee area or a location in Broward County (the Miama-Fort Lauderdale area)...
I'm no Breeder, but Kim Deal and I have at least one thing in common. I've been looking for one divine hammer. Nailed it. What you see here, is what a series of Dutch tourists in lightweight RVs saw through a real-world Adobe echo effect. It's the RS 7, the most outrageous roadgoing Audi of the now, even counting the R8 Spyder with the V-10...
The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT "Hellcat" has been spied in testing. What is a Hellcat? It's apparently one very mean, very powerful engine headed for the Dodge Challanger. BMW's 2014 328d diesel sedan doesn't just get 45 mpg on the highway. It also costs a touch under $40,000 to start. Is this the ultimate combo of luxury, efficiency, and price?...
Mercedes AMG was one of the first of the Formula One engine suppliers to reveal its new turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6 developed for the 2014 season, and now it’s the first to release a sound clip for the controversial powerplant. The sound has been recorded in Mercedes AMG’s test lab in Brixworth, England, using an engine dyno, and...
Lotus is showing signs of life, with news emerging this week that the British sports car manufacturer is set to hire around 100 new staff, mostly specialist engineers. Only a week ago, managers from DRB-Hicom, the owner of Lotus’ Malaysian parent Proton, revealed that Lotus’ debts had been cleared and the company now primed to start...
Back in May, Ferrari made the announcement it would target maximum sales of 7,000 cars this year, down from 7,318 sales in 2012, in order to improve the exclusivity of the marque while at the same time protect its margins and residual values for its customers. Ferrari has now released its first financial data since implementing the strategy and so...
SRT’s ultimate Dodge Challenger has been spotted for the first time, testing in prototype form in the harsh conditions of California’s Death Valley. The car is believed to be packing a new supercharged version of Chrysler’s HEMI V-8, code-named the Hellcat, and has been billed by SRT boss Ralph Gilles as the “answer”...
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...
Anyone that’s driven a Focus ST will be familiar with the hiss of the car’s turbocharger and slightly muted engine sound when pulling away. The sound emanating from the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype in this video from slaughtrhousjak sounds eerily like it, suggesting it’s testing a similar engine to the one found in the popular hot...
BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer reiterated his company’s commitment to fuel cell technology, revealing in a speech this week that a purpose-built fuel cell vehicle was being considered for production. BMW has just taken the covers off its first battery-powered electric production car, the 2014 i3, which can drive between 80 and miles on a single...
Out on the Interstate, barely ten minutes into our first drive of the 2014 Infiniti Q50, my co-driver and had already found something to marvel about in this sport sedan: We could carry on a quiet conversation. That might sound like a low bar—and there's much more truly marvelous, world-first technology in the Q50 to beam about—but it...

America is finally back in the F1 saddle with the U.S. Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. But that's the only place in the U.S. that could have an F1 race soon--New Jersey's Port Imperial Street Circuit is still on the table. Placed as close to New York City as is practically feasible, the proposed New Jersey street...
