Nissan has promised to launch a fully autonomous car by the year 2020. Like many other automakers, Nissan sees autonomous cars as a way to reduce traffic fatalities to almost zero. BMW’s Concept M4 has provided us with a glimpse at the styling of its new M3 and M4 sports cars, but we’ve got spy shots of prototypes for the actual cars...
Formula One Grands Prix, like many motorsport events, tend to major on high-octane thrills more than environmental friendliness. As such, they're never going to be on Greenpeace's list of "good things", but at last weekend's 2013 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, Greenpeace activists were there to protest something else. The race was...
The new Vsport trim that debuted on the 2014 Cadillac CTS and has since been announced for the 2014 XTS will morph into its own sub-brand and eventually be available on most Cadillac models, according to one of the automaker’s executives. The Vsport models aren’t dedicated performance cars like the former CTS-V but they do offer a...
The French government will have to overturn a ban on Mercedes-Benz sales in its country after the German automaker won a case in the Council of State, France’s highest administrative court. Sales of the latest Mercedes models, like the A-Class, B-Class and SL-Class, were blocked in France after the German automaker reverted back to an older...
This year Toyota competed for the second time at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with its modern TS030 Hybrid prototype, and although the outright win went to Audi the lessons learned from competing helps incredibly towards the team’s preparation for next year’s race as well as the full season of the World Endurance Championship. The number 8...
The long-awaited M version of the latest generation ‘F30’ BMW 3-Series is on track for a debut at January's 2014 Detroit Auto Show, and these latest shots show the most complete prototype we’ve seen yet.

Porsche’s new GT3 based on the latest 991 generation of its iconic 911 sports car is starting to make its way onto local roads, so we thought it an opportune time to see what the car’s chief engineer, Andreas Preuninger, thinks of his new baby. For him, and we’re sure for many of you reading this, a purist sports car like the 911...
Nissan has made a bold and somewhat unprecedented promise to offer a fully autonomous car by the year 2020. The move is part of Nissan’s aim to reduce the rate of accidents involving its cars to almost zero, a target several other automakers including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Volvo are also hoping to achieve through self-driving cars...
Stefan Bellof is one of the biggest names from a golden era of GT racing, when incredibly light and stunningly powerful cars were driven by now legendary names such as Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx and Hans-Joachim Stuck. Sadly, Bellof was killed in a sports car racing accident at Spa in 1985, but a string of sports car victories and some impressive...
The industry is racing ahead to develop autonomous cars that not only promise to alleviate the chore of mundane driving but also, potentially, reduce crashes to zero. Whether performance fans and classic car enthusiasts will be able to manually operate their vehicles on public roads, in amongst all the self-driving cars, remains to be seen, but...
The SP:01, Detroit Electric's battery-powered sports car not unlike the Tesla Roadster, is currently on hold, pending the company's purchase of a facility in which to build it. Production was due to start on the Lotus Elise-based electric car this month, but delays in finalizing a manufacturing facility have seen that date pushed back. Speaking to...
BMW has just shown off its new M4, the replacement for the M3 Coupe, in concept form and at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January we’ll see the covers come off the production version, seen here as a prototype. BMW engineers have become a bit more relaxed about the camouflage gear now that the M4 concept car has been revealed though a few...
