  • 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO teaser

    The covers are set to finally come off Nissan’s GT-R NISMO at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show on November 20, a model we’ve seen in prototype form for the past several months, and this week has seen the start of an official teaser campaign to help build excitement for the car. Not that the GT-R NISMO needed any excitement building; the car is already tipped to be the fastest production model to accelerate to 60 mph, and there’s a good chance it will also be the fastest production model around Germany’s Nürburgring. The current time to beat is 6:57, as set by the Porsche...

  • Daihatsu Kopen Concepts, 2013 Tokyo Motor Show

    Japanese automaker Daihatsu has never had much presence in the U.S. market. That's probably because it lasted little more than four years in North America, closing its doors in early 1992. That means the chances of getting your hands on a production version of the Kopen Concept, newly unveiled ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show next month, are fairly slim. If you recognize the name, you're probably a fan of Japanese cars or a regular Gran Turismo gamer. It's near-identical to a model currently sold by Daihatsu in Japan, the Copen--and with its kei-car dimensions and convertible roof, Kopen should...

  • 2015 Subaru WRX spy shots

According to Automotive News (subscription required), we’ll see simultaneous debuts of the new WRX and its more extreme STI variant in L.A.

  • 2011 Suzuki Regina Concept

    If you could cross a Citroën DS with one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, chances are the result would look a lot like the 2011 Suzuki Regina Concept, shown at this week’s Tokyo Motor Show. We mean that in the kindest way possible, since the Regina isn’t an ugly car, it just doesn’t look like any other motorized conveyance on the planet. We say that’s a good thing, and Suzuki deserves credit for going its own way in regards to styling. The shape is functional, too, since Suzuki is claiming a coefficient of drag that’s 10 percent lower than similarly...
