British tuner A. Kahn Design has released its second styling package for the Range Rover Evoque.

A bone-stock Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 comes from the factory packing 580 horsepower, which is good enough to get the uber-Camaro from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, run the quarter-mile in twelve seconds flat and hit a claimed top speed of 185 mph. Those are impressive numbers, but the job of tuners...

While the 2013 Ford Fusion Sprint Cup race car won't join the (mostly) oval fray until next year, the 2012 Focus Electric will be getting its NASCAR debut this weekend--sort of.

When Land Rover began showing off the new Range Rover Evoque back in 2010, it used celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Juliette Lewis to pitch the uber-chic crossover.
