  • 2012 Jaguar XFR facelift spy shots

    The Jaguar XFR isn't yet long in the tooth, having just hit the market in 2009. But already Jagaur is working on a facelift for the fastest Leaping Cat ever, to bring it closer in line with the new Jaguar XJ. A new grille, front bumper, headlights, and some work at the rear of the XFR are all that are necessary to put on the new Jaguar face (and tail). It doesn't take much imagination to picture what's going on beneath the psychedelic monochrome camouflage. In case you've forgotten (for shame!) the Jaguar XFR is a supercharged, 5.0-liter V-8 beast pumping 510 horsepower through the rear...

    Video: Aston Martin Shows Off The One-77, Episode 4

    Glorious audio, crisp HDR-style video and more all-around views of the Aston Martin One-77 than you'd get in the mob that would surround the car in person. This video may be the closest you ever get to the most powerful naturally-aspirated road car in the world. The video also features some of the...

    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: 2012 Range Rover Evoque

    The details on the 2012 Range Rover Evoque are out, with more to come at the 2010 Paris Auto Show debut. Best of all, we have plenty of info on the U.S. version of the smallest Range Rover, including a ballpark starting price. At "around $45,000" the Evoque won't be the most affordable compact...

    High Gear Media Takes The Wheel Of A Camaro At The Fireball Run

    High Gear Media is taking the country by storm, starting September 23 and running through October 2, as we join the Fireball Run, which starts in Las Vegas and ends in Galena, Illinois, raising awareness of missing children along the way. We'll be team 68 out of 75, and we will be taking the wheel...

    Aston Martin Finalizes Specs For One-77 Supercar

    The Aston Martin One-77 supercar appeared out of nowhere last year and stunned the automotive world with its bold design and exorbitant price tag, which is expected to run in the vicinity of $2 million. The One-77 is the ultimate expression of what Aston Martin stands for and will combine modern...

    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: Porsche 911 Speedster

    Though we still haven't managed to get behind the wheel of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder, we're convinced it's the right direction for Porsche--at least as an available option. And soon, the brand will be adding a similar, but potentially even better, option to its range in the form of the new 911...

  • 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8

    More and more information about Chrysler's future product plans has been trickling out, and there are few juicy tidbits for Challenger fans. Jalopnik is reporting that information leaked from a meeting between the manufacturer and its dealerships indicates that the next Challenger will gain some more power as well as the potential to have frighteningly fast acceleration, if Dodge CEO Ralph Gilles claims are to be believed. There are reports that Gilles is claiming that the next SRT8 will break the three-second barrier in terms of a 0-60 time. There's no way to verify that claim without...

    2010 Paris Rumormill: Porsche Planning 500-HP Limited Edition GT3 RS?

    France's Internets are ablaze with talk of a 500-horsepower, 500-unit limited edition of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS powered by a 4.0-liter flat six. So far all we have to work with is rumor and innuendo, but the idea is intriguing. According to the reports, the upgraded GT3 RS would be limited to a...

    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

    The Maserati GranTurismo coupe and convertible are without doubt some of the best-looking GT cars on the road. But for some, good looks just aren’t enough. That’s why Maserati has been persuaded to build an even more extreme version of its stunning GT; the fastest, lightest and most...

  • 2011 BMW X3
    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: BMW M Performance and M Sport Packages

    BMW, unlike some manufacturers, doesn't go around appending performance badges willy-nilly. When a car wears an M badge, you can expect it to deliver on track or off. For those that don't want quite that much go-fast, BMW offers a range of M Sport packages as well, and new bits of kit for both the...

  • 2012 Chevrolet Aveo Hatchback
    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: Chevrolet's Four World Premieres

    Chevy will be hitting Paris hard this year, bringing four new world premieres to the floor. Of the four, only the 2012 Aveo is expected for the U.S., though we can lust after the mostly-attractive Cruze five-door hatch from afar. The 2012 Chevrolet Aveo, which we last spied in sedan form in July...

    Video: Test-Mule For Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Successor Spied

    It seems like just yesterday that Ferrari's 612 Scaglietti was launched but it's actually been more than five years, which is why it’s not surprising that test-mules for the car’s successor are already completing shakedowns runs at the Italian automaker’s private Fiorano circuit...

  • 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X

    The Dodge Viper died a quick and ignominious death shortly after Fiat partnered with Chrysler, though even then there was talk that the car would be revived for 2012. Now a report from Autoblog says Sergio Marchionne showed the 2012 Viper at a dealer meeting this week. There are essentially no details on the car, except that it was able to roll onto the stage, and that it is in fact the next Viper. The new design is reported to be all-new, with a sharper, newer look. We'll keep our ears to the ground and our eyes peeled for any more information or leaked images on the 2012 Viper, but for now...

    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: Porsche 911 Carrera GTS

    Porsche is adding a new member to the 911 family in the form of the Carrera GTS, which will be making its world debut later this month at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The new GTS is positioned just above the 911 Carrera S and in keeping with that positioning receives a slight bump in power. The...

    Over the eight days from September 24-October 2, Team High Gear Media will be driving a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, all but living out of it as we compete our way across the country.

    If you're a sports fan, you know Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a boxing legend. If you're a Dancing With The Stars fan, you know Floyd Mayweather Jr. as that buff dude who got axed pretty early in season five.

    2010 Paris Auto Show Preview: MINI Cooper Design Concept Teased

    If you think the Countryman was hit with a MINI ugly stick, you may not want to see what's under that cover. If you're a bit more open-minded, however, you may be getting a glimpse of the upcoming facelift for the MINI Cooper S and Clubman S. Billed as a "design concept," the front-end bits...

  • lamborghini lp670 4 sv geneva live 005

    How to build an Italian flamethrower: take the lightweight, hyper-fast Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV and throw a pair of turbos at it. Run it up to about 150 mph, then come off the gas. Instant three-foot flames. Brilliant. This teaser video shows us the handiwork of Underground Racing's twin-turbo conversion for the LP670-4 SV, and though we don't get anything in the way of stats or equipment lists, we're not complaining. The audio and video of this madman's creation are enough to slake the thirst for awesome while whetting the appetite for meatier details. Given the stock LP670-4 SV...

    AnnaLynne McCord Uses Her Feminine Wiles To (Allegedly) Weasel Out Of A Fender-Bender

    A week ago, some guy named Aaron was motoring around town, minding his own business, when -- WHAM -- out of the blue, AnnaLynne McCord nailed him. Which isn't especially unusual, except this time she was in a car. Afterward, AnnaLynne turned on the eyelashes and the charm with an "I'm very sorry"...

    Report: Ferrari Planning High-Efficiency California Concept For 2010 Paris Auto Show

    Green, green, green. That's all we hear these days. How to get green, go green, not do things that aren't green. It's enough to make a person a bit green in the face. But Ferrari's shade of green at the upcoming 2010 Paris auto show may be the sort that indicates envy, as a report out today has the...

    Highly Flammable Ferrari 458 Italia Recalled

    We've been tracking the above-average tendency of the Ferrari 458 Italia to burst into flame or smash into immovable objects since its debut, but finally Ferrari has stepped in to admit there's something wrong with the car. Turns out the flaw is relatively minor, though the results can be...
