Getting into motorsports at a professional level these days requires about a decade of experience--before you turn 18. This young woman, Aurora Straus, appears to be well on her way. In this video, you can see her turning an impressive lap in a Radical SR3. And she's just 15 years old. The course is the very fun but also quite tricky Monticello...
There's a lot of future car talk going around the web this week, with the new Alfa Romeo 4C among our favorite bits of intel: it will start at just $54,000 in the U.S., according to a new report. If you can find one to buy, that is. Mazda's next-generation MX-5 Miata has also been spied. Heavily anticipated and essential to Mazda's success, the...
In the world of $400,000-plus ultraluxe convertibles, things are rather volatile. Or at least it appears so, as the Bentley Mulsanne Convertible teased in concept sketches last year will not be built, according to the brand's CEO. Speaking with Car and Driver, Bentley boss Wolfgang Schreiber said the concept, when shown to a small group of Bentley...
There are a handful of cars we've really looked forward to over the past several years--the new 911 and Cayman, the new Corvette Stingray, and, a bit farther from the beaten path, the return of Alfa Romeo to the U.S. in the form of the 4C. Gorgeous styling, enticing light weight (even if it will weigh about 200 pounds more here in the U.S.), and...
Motor Authority's spy photographers have just scored these images of what could be the upcoming Mazda MX-5 Miata--a roadster that will also spawn a new Alfa Romeo Spider. The prototype was spotted while testing at Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Running on a current-generation Mazda MX-5 body, the mule has bodywork add-ons that...
Cadillac continues to tease the 2015 Escalade ahead of its October 7 debut. This time, Cadillac isn't just teasing the SUV, it's teasing the SUV's promotion. GM's luxury division has recruited photographer and director Autumn de Wilde to produce a film and a series of portraits depicting the Escalade's design process. They'll be revealed alongside...
GM has even broader ambitions for its Cadillac brand than today's lineup. Its latest vehicles, the ATS and CTS, have won rave reviews, and its own version of the Chevy Volt architecture comes late this year in the form of the Cadillac ELR extended-range electric car. But could the brand have more green cars in its future? Though he offhandedly...
Hyundai has unveiled its first 2013 SEMA show car, and it's a screamer. The bright blue Genesis Coupe, modified by Bisimoto Engineering, has 1,000 horsepower. What else is there to say, really? Bisimoto started with a stock Genesis 3.8 R-Spec and its naturally aspirated V-6. It then added two turbochargers and gave the engine's internals a...
The speculation goes on regarding the output of the next BMW M3 and M4--especially now that the 2014 4-Series is out in the wild. Now, a new blurb at F80 Bimmerpost suggests the upcoming BMW M3 will extract some 425 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque from the latest 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder engine. In the M4, output will be 416 hp. The...
Nissan will be the first car maker to have iTunes Radio, the company announced today. The Japanese car maker will be the exclusive automotive launch partner for Apple's new media streaming service, part of a concerted effort by the tech giant to make inroads into automotive infotainment. iTunes Radio is essentially Apple's competitor to Pandora;...
