Car and Driver has managed to get its hands on a trademark application for a new logo from Nissan, which contains “Pure Drive” and “R-Hybrid” labels. Nissan already uses the Pure Drive designation on some of its more fuel-efficient offerings but R-Hybrid is new and may hint at a new performance-oriented hybrid in the works...
We hear the 2015 Subaru WRX and its more extreme STI variant will be going on sale in the first half of next year, following a world debut in November at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Anyone hoping for the aggressive look seen on the WRX concept unveiled earlier this year will be disappointed as spy shots show a somewhat watered-down look. Volvo...
Saleen will launch a new supercar within the next two years, according to its CEO and founder Steve Saleen. The car will serve as the spiritual successor to the company’s last supercar, the S7, and will borrow elements from a stillborn supercar project previewed by 2008’s S5S Raptor concept car. Back in 2007, Saleen was in the midst of...
We know what you love. You love to see guys warp by in Aventadors and Corvette Stingrays and SRT Vipers because...Aventador, Stingray, Viper. It can make your day to know someone's ripping off a redline run, even if it isn't you. The opposite of that place is your dark space--where you'll find the cars and drivers guaranteed to piss you off. They...
"Load up the Rolls--it's time for some shootin'!" isn't something you're likely to hear too often these days, but there was a time when hunting vehicles were a little more salubrious than your average bashed-up pickup. One such vehicle was owned by Umed Singh II, Maharaja of Kotah, back in the 1920s. The 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Maharaja...
Jaguar’s mid-size luxury sedan, the XF, made its market debut in 2009 as the replacement for the S-Type. It was given an update for 2012 and a year later saw all-wheel drive added to its list of options. The next major update will see the XF completely overhauled, as a new generation of the car has already started testing and is expected to...
The Land Rover Defender is one of the toughest vehicles ever built yet even it can’t survive the crusher of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The example featured in the above video was seized at a Baltimore port back in April and sent to the crusher because it was imported illegally. The Defender is no longer offered for sale in the...
We’ve been spying prototypes for Subaru’s next-generation WRX for months but soon the heavy camouflage will be coming off and the car ready for its debut on the world stage. That debut will reportedly take place at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show in November, where Subaru is confirmed to make a world premiere. According to Automotive...
Infiniti is working on a new hatch to take on rivals in the burgeoning compact luxury segment, such as the Audi A3, BMW 1-Series, Lexus CT 200h and new Mercedes-Benz CLA. We were given our first taste of the car with the unveiling of the slightly odd Etherea back in 2011, but now we have a more definitive look thanks to reveal of the new Q30...
Racing games are coming thick and fast from the Gamescom exhibition in Cologne, Germany, but one of the most important games on show is the latest installment in the Forza Motorsport series, Forza 5 (FM5). Gamers were able to try the next-gen racer on the Forza stand, but the game's appearance also brought with it information on some new tracks...
In the new, strange and intriguing world of electric cars, customers have plenty of questions to ask--and BMW is launching a tool to help answer those questions without having to contact your dealer. Called i Genius, it's actually an artificial intelligence service, combining a database of information on BMW's new electric cars with the ability to...
Volvo isn’t exactly known for being a style setter but the automaker hopes to change all that. At the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show next month, Volvo will present a new concept it bills as the embodiment of an upcoming “transformation.” That transformation has been instigated by the automaker’s design chief Thomas Ingenlath, who...
General Motors’ European unit Opel is introducing an updated version of its Insignia range of sedans, wagons and liftback hatch at next month’s 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show. The Insignia is essentially the Buick Regal’s European twin, and just as the Regal has a high-performance GS variant so does the Insignia, the Insignia OPC. The...
