The weather is difficult to track in Singapore and heavy rain is always a possibility. In fact, the current prediction for this weekend’s Formula One Singapore Grand Prix calls for stormy weather. Peak temperature for Sunday’s race is expected to reach 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) during the day, though this should cool into the low 80s...
The old maxims were wrong: you can take it with you, provided you have a big yard, a backhoe, and a dream. AutoExpress reports the odd case of a Brazilian man who fancies himself a rival for the Egyptian pharaohs--in the afterlife, at least. In this novel take on a pyramid scheme, Conde Chiquinho Scarpa, a 62-year-old from Brazil's biggest city...
As we’ve reported on a number of occasions, Volvo will slowly replace its entire engine lineup with powerplants featuring no more than four cylinders. Recently, we were able to test some of Volvo’s next-generation engines, called the Drive-E set. They’ll be coming soon, debuting in models like the 2015 S60 and its 2015 V60 wagon...
$7.5 Million Solid Gold Lamborghini: In Dubai, Of Course When you have, quite literally, everything--or at least the capacity to buy everything--what do you want? Solid gold models of $400,000 cars, apparently.That's our take-away from this $7.5 million solid gold Lamborghini Aventador model, anyway. 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO Spy Shots Nissan...
All of the talk about apathetic hipsters and indifferent Gen Y yuppies not wanting anything to do with cars is bunk. Grand Theft Auto V, a video game centered around the process of acquiring and driving cars (often to hoontastic heights) just made $800 million in its first day on sale. Take that, Apple. The sales drove Take-Two Interactive...
The original Lotus Seven was an inspired concept--completely, utterly minimalistic, in perfect keeping with Colin Chapman's "simplify, then add lightness" ethic. The new Caterham AeroSeven is an extension of that theme into modern Formula 1 technologies and methods. Built around the Caterham Seven CSR platform, wrapped a carbon fiber body designed...
Going on sale this fall is an updated version of one of Land Rover’s most important models, the 2014 LR4. Fresh from its debut at the recent Frankfurt Auto Show, the 2014 LR4 has now been priced and offers great value for anyone in the market for a rugged, go-just-about-anywhere SUV with a little bit of luxury. The 2014 Land Rover LR4 will...

McLaren’s new P1 supercar recently underwent final testing and the first cars have already run down the production line. McLaren will build just 375 examples, at a rate of one per day, and one of the cars has already been sold to comedian Jay Leno. It’s not clear if McLaren has any remaining build slots for its P1, but given the...

British supercar manufacturer Keating is back with a new model called ‘The Bolt.’ Keating has clearly taken a leaf out of Ferrari’s book on naming, though The Bolt is still a prototype so the name could change by the time production starts. The Bolt is Keating’s follow up to its previous SKR, TKR and ZKR supercars, all of...

Peugeot has been slowly expanding its lineup of performance offerings, initially launching a new 208 GTI in 2013 and then following it up with an R-badged version of its RCZ coupe earlier this year. Soon, we’ll be seeing a hotted-up version of the French automaker’s 308 Golf rival, which we’re expecting to be offered late next...

Harley J. Earl was the vice president of design for General Motors from 1928-1958, and while he had a hand in many great design projects during his tenure, he may be most famous for his role as the "father" of the original Chevrolet Corvette. This is Harley J. Earl's Corvette, and it's for sale. Known as the "Harley Earl Car", this 1963 Corvette...
Infiniti's still-new boss Johan de Nysschen is not afraid to speak his mind on a variety of topics. Today, he's talking about Infiniti, and how it needs to "de-Americanize" itself to succeed. De Nysschen has previously mocked American efforts to build an extended-range electric vehicle, (in)famously pronouncing the Chevrolet Volt to be a "car for...
You wouldn't expect a race car to be built in a clean room. The Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team's new video series takes viewers through the process of building an F1 car. First stop? The composites department. Without revealing any classified information, the series, called "Access All Areas," starts with technicians turning sheets of carbon fiber...
Testing on the Nürburgring is often made to seem like the whole enchilada when it comes to developing a "proper" sports car, and the long, arduous circuit certainly does help to suss out a car's handling issues in a relatively contained environment. Ultimately, however, it takes something more than just going there and driving around a bit to...
Caterham has made quite the business out of selling updated and improved versions of the original Lotus Seven over the past several decades, but recently announced joint-venture with Renault will bring an all-new sports car to the world. This might not be that car, but it's the one that's been teased on the side of its F1 car for the past several...
Teased yesterday, the collaboration between McLaren and Forza Motorsport 5 to create a flipbook-style animation from a series of still images strung around the perimeter of a race track, filmed from an MP4-12C has come to life. This is Forza FilmSpeed. We can't really imagine a more impractical way to put together a clip of in-game action from...
