Racing simulators have been quite popular for a number of years now. The average virtual racer consumes the digitized cars and tracks by way of console games such as Forza and Gran Turismo. It's the world of PC-based simulators, however, that offer up the most hardcore virtual racing experience. One of the leaders in this arena is iRacing, which...
The first day of the 2013 Formula One Italian Grand Prix got off to a very summery start, with the second practice session taking place in 86 degree F (30 degree C) heat. The warm weather is expected to stay over the weekend but there is a chance of a storm both for tomorrow’s qualifying session and Sunday’s eventual race. Humidity...
Lamborghini’s aging Gallardo is due to be replaced next year by a brand new supercar, and we have the latest spy shots of a prototype for it. We’re still not sure what it will be called, though most suggest it will be called a Cabrera, but we are fairly certain it will come with a 600-horsepower version of the outgoing Gallardo’s...
Fiat is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the unveiling of the original Abarth 595 at the 1963 Turin Motor Show by launching a tribute edition based on its latest 500 hatch. The modern version will don the famous red and white livery of the original but will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show taking place next week. Only 299 examples...
A week ago, a company called Bulleta Motors out of California told the world it would be building a Lotus Evora-based sports car, the RF22. Complete with attractive renderings, the enticing RF22 promised 505 horsepower in a 2,920-pound package. Too bad it's fake. We were first tipped to the RF22's lack of reality by Kevin Smith, marketing and...
Ford CEO Alan Mulally, the man primarily credited with turning around the automaker’s fortunes by streamlining operations and implementing the ‘One Ford’ policy, may step down from the top job earlier than planned. The 68-year-old exec is scheduled to resign at the end of 2014 but reports claim he may step down earlier to explore...
Summer is coming to a close, and those lucky to have had some time off are likely back at the office now. But with the end of summer comes the first major auto show of the new model year, the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, press days for which kick off on Tuesday, September 10. The biennial event in the German financial hub is one of the biggest on the...

Volkswagen’s current Jetta has been on sale since the 2011 model year, during which time the car has seen its engine lineup expanded and a new hybrid variant added. Next year, however, the car will receive its first major update, as confirmed by this camouflaged prototype recently spotted testing in the U.S. The visual changes will be...
This is our first official look at a new sports car being developed by Caterham in partnership with Renault and due on the market in early 2016. It is a silhouette plastered to the sides of Caterham’s Formula One cars which this weekend are competing at the Italian Grand Prix at the legendary Monza circuit. The silhouette is actually of a...
More than a hundred cars (the most recent count is 120) were involved in a pile-up during morning rush hour yesterday on the New Kingsferry Bridge in Kent, England. Dense fog has been blamed for the pile-up which has left eight drivers seriously injured and nearly 200 others with minor injuries. According to the above news report from ITN...
Rumblings about a Jaguar SUV or crossover date back several years but never really made the headlines until a few weeks ago when it was revealed the British automaker was planning a landmark announcement at the upcoming 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show. There’s little doubt as to what Jaguar is planning to announce anymore, as the automaker has...
Infiniti is reasonably excited to start pushing out its all-new 2014 Q50 sedan. Well, sort of excited, since the automaker is still going to offer the G37 sedan alongside it for a bit. Regardless, the newer car represents the design direction that Infiniti production cars will take, and it's a rather stylish direction. So stylish, in fact, that...
Motorcycles are incredible nimble and quick machines. Cars offer a sense of safety that motorcycles can't match. Is there a way to combine the best of both worlds? Yes, and you can put it in your driveway for just $16,000. It's a Locost, which is a clone of the famed Lotus Seven, and this one is powered by the engine from a 2006 Yamaha R1...
Not to be outdone by the more established North American Car Of The Year And European Car Of The Year awards, the World Car Of The Year award is starting to gain prominence in the auto show arena despite being the relative newcomer. The award event is now entering its 10th year and will culminate at the 2014 New York Auto Show next April where the...
