  • 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4

    Lamborghini unveiled an updated version of its Gallardo supercar for the 2013 model year at this week’s Paris Auto Show, with the range receiving a fresh new look and also offering customers a whole new level of personalization. The range still consists of six separate models, though now there’s greater differentiation between the regular Gallardo LP 560-4 models and more extreme LP 570-4 Superleggera and LP 570-4 Spyder Performante. All Gallardo LP 560-4 variants, coupe and Spyder, get a new front-end, which is dominated by triangular and trapezoidal forms. The rear has also come...

    Lamborghini has given an update to its Gallardo supercar, helping to keep it fresh until a successor arrives sometime in the next year or two. The changes aren’t too drastic, which is to be expected this late into a model’s life cycle, but they do give the Gallardo a much smarter look...

  • Goodwood Revival via 2013 Subaru BRZ
    2013 Subaru BRZ: The Road To Goodwood

    The problem with driving a left-hand-drive car on the left side of the road--not the right--is that it becomes second nature too quickly, too easily. Five miles out of the Manchester airport, only a couple of U-turns and traffic circles missed, the 2013 Subaru BRZ I'm about to flog up and down the...

  • 2013 Lexus ES 350
    Lexus Cuts Production Over China Tensions: Report

The first Hyundai SEMA concept that we’re seeing is based on the Genesis Coupe R-Spec variant, and it comes courtesy of ARK Performance. It’s hard to miss the exterior modifications, which include a carbon fiber hood, a rear diffuser, substantial rear fender flares, a front splitter, a carbon fiber deck lid and a carbon fiber rear wing.

  • 2013 BMW M6
    2013 BMW M5, M6 Deliveries Stopped, Owners Asked Not To Drive Cars

    The 2013 BMW M5 and M6 Coupe and Convertible are, unquestionably, very good cars. It appears, however, they are fitted with faulty oil pumps--which may fail so catastrophically and suddenly as to result in "severe engine damage" due to a complete loss of oil pressure. Accordingly, BMW has decided...

  • 2013 Buick Encore
    2013 Buick Encore Crossover Priced From $24,950

    If you’re planning on shopping for a compact crossover but think that luxury brands are out of your price range, think again. The 2013 Buick Encore will come well-equipped, yet starts at a remarkably reasonable $24,950, including a destination charge of $750. That buys you standard features...

  • Track testing the Chevy Malibu Turbo
    Chevrolet Track Tests The 2013... Malibu Turbo? Video

    If we asked you to name a track-worthy sport sedan, chances are good you’d pick the BMW M5, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG or possibly even the Cadillac CTS-V. Further down the list, we suppose even a Volvo S60 or Ford Taurus SHO could make the cut-off, but one car we’d never expect to see...

  • 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder

    Porsche's 918 Spyder is no secret--in fact, it's a bit of a camera whore. But we're fine with that--it's a stunner, and it's crazy fast, too. How crazy fast? How about a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time of 7 minutes, 14 seconds. Yep, that's the official word from Porsche as of just a few minutes ago. The images posted along with the announcement show a Martini-liveried car doing its dirty work. For reference, a 7:14 lap is not only faster than its own target of 7:22, but faster than the Corvette ZR1, faster than the Nissan GT-R, as fast as the Lexus LFA, and nearly as fast as the very...

    2013 Aston Martin DB9: More Power, New Look

    2013 Shelby GT500 Super Snake Details Emerge

    Shelby American showed off its 2013 GT500 Super Snake at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but details on its latest Mustang-based supercar were harder to come by than reasonably-priced hotel rooms. Now, thanks to Mustangs Daily, we have all we need to know about Shelby’s latest...

  • A Cadillac SRX demonstrates Rear Automatic Braking - image: John F. Martin for Cadillac
    Cadillac's 'Virtual Bumpers' May Be Better Than The Real Thing: Video

    The purpose of front and rear bumpers on automobiles is self-explanatory: at low impact speeds, bumpers are supposed to absorb energy and prevent body damage to a vehicle. In that regard, they’re passive safety devices, coming into play only when a low-speed accident occurs. The best kind of...

  • Nissan's upcoming Juke Nismo
    2013 Nissan Juke Nismo Preview: 2012 Paris Auto Show

    The 2013 Porsche Boxster Honors Its Ancestors: Video

    We are the sum of our collected past experiences, and the very same thing can be said about cars, especially those with a heritage steeped in racing. The 2013 Porsche Boxster wouldn’t be the same car without the lessons learned from the 550 Spyder, the 908, the 914 and even the 911 and its...
