The first prototypes for Nissan’s upcoming GT-R NISMO have been spotted. They show some significant updates to the basic GT-R and hint at the world-beating performance we can expect from the car. Porsche’s latest 911 Turbo better look out.

Bentley has launched new ‘S’ trim for its Continental GT V8 coupe and GTC V8 convertible. The cars essentially receive the suspension and aero tweaks from the W-12-powered Continental GT Speed and are aimed at those drivers looking for something a bit sportier than your average Bentley.

One unfortunate Jaguar XJ driver discovered that his prized luxury sedan started to melt for no apparent reason. It turns out the culprit wasn’t any electrical issue or fire but rather sunlight reflected--and concentrated--by an odd-shaped building.
