BMW will reportedly launch a hardcore version of its yet-to-be-released M4 sports car during celebrations for the brand’s centenary in 2016. The hardcore M4 is said to be lighter than the stock M4 and more powerful, too. Mercedes-Benz’s next and final model based on its MFA compact car platform will be a CLA Shooting Brake. The car...

The Jaguar Project 7 is a more extreme take on the elegant, sporty new F-Type. Drawing on historic Jaguar themes found in the C-Type and D-Type, the Project 7 is a real, driving car--not just a showpiece. But what went into the process, and what does it mean for Jaguar? In this video Jaguar's lead designer Ian Callum explains what went into the...

In what seems a never-ending escalation of sales prices--despite the global economy--another Ferrari 250 GTO has claimed the title of world's most expensive car. This time, it's a 1963 250 GTO that sold for $52 million. The car is an ex-racer from the collection of Paul Pappalardo, reports Bloomberg, similar to the car pictured above. No other...

Lang Lang has inspired the design of a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. The car was presented by the world famous pianist at an event that took place last month at Chateau St. Jean in California, and features a color scheme that mimics the black and white keys of a piano as well as the two-tone finish of an original Bugatti Type 57 Atalante...

BMW turns 100 in 2016 and no doubt the automaker has plenty in store for the celebrations. One celebratory event may turn out to be the launch of a hardcore version of the upcoming M4 sports car, similar to 2009’s M3 GTS model. The information was reported by Car Sales, citing an anonymous source at BMW M. The new M4, the successor to the...

Following its official debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, McLaren’s new 12C GT Sprint has gone on sale, priced from 195,000 British pounds (approximately $315,827). That may seem a lot for what is essentially a track toy (the car isn’t homologated for any racing series), but you are getting many of the features from...

Only two names have ever appeared on the winner’s trophy for the Korean Grand Prix and this weekend at the Korean International Circuit in Yeongam, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel will again be locked in combat as the 2013 Formula One season reaches the home stretch. The circuit in Yeongam, one of seven tracks on this year’s...

If you've driven the new SRT Viper, you probably want to own it--well, you do if you're the same kind of crazy we are. But apparently those of us who want it aren't buying it, as Chrysler has cut production by one-third due to slow sales and the impending fall and winter months. Ultimately, it's perhaps unsurprising that given a still-slow economy...

Infiniti Red Bull Racing is mid-way through a seven-part series that takes an unusually close look at what goes into bringing a modern F1 car to life on the track. The first part gave us insights into the design and R&D phase of the process. Then we saw how carbon fiber is used--and made--to keep the F1 cars as light and as strong as possible...

Another rumor regarding the Audi Q1 subcompact crossover has surfaced. This time, Auto Bild reports that the Q1 will debut in 2016, and will be based on the Volkswagen Polo's platform. The Polo platform will make the Q1 small enough to slot under the Q3 in Audi's crossover lineup, but the smaller vehicle might be lacking in capability: the Q1 will...

Mercedes has figured out a way to make the CLA-Class "four-door coupe" even more desirable. The German car maker will offer a shooting brake version of the CLA, Car and Driver reports, but it won't be sold in the United States. The Shooting Brake will be a companion model to the regular CLA, just as the CLS Shooting Brake is a companion to the...

The sports car jointly developed by Caterham and Renault -- and set to revive the legendary Alpine name -- is getting closer to production. Autocar reports that the final design of the Caterham-Alpine sports car has been approved, clearing the way for a 2016 debut. Renault announced last year that it would partner with Caterham on an Alpine...

The rear-wheel drive car is something of an endangered species. Aside from dedicated luxury and sports car brands, there just aren't many rear-drive cars out there. Why? It's really quite simple: front-drive cars make better use of the passenger space by getting ride of the driveshaft tunnel and packaging the transmission farther forward. When...
