The Amoritz name would probably be unfamiliar in most automotive circles. That’s because it doesn’t hail from the U.S. or Europe, but rather it comes from Brazil. Amoritz is the name of a new supercar start-up, whose first product, the GT DR7, has been previewed today in teaser form. The car has been designed by Brazilian native Fernando Morita and its development is being funded by an unnamed source. Featuring a very cab-forward design and a classic supercar wedge shape, the GT DR7 looks very much like a Lamborghini on steroids and that is saying a lot. To match its hyper-aggressive...

Cadillac has worked hard to move its image from your grandparents' car to sophisticated luxury cars that compete with global brands like Mercedes-Benz. And one of their big markets is China. How to introduce your sedans to a new audience that thinks Buick is a prestige brand? Well, you could try a few stunts on the Shanghai Formula One circuit, including a new lowest lap time for a production sedan set by a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V by race driver John Heinricy. Don't try this at home, kids.

Not just in the sense that we've never met her -- though we might've and didn't know it -- but also in the sense that we don't know much about her body of work. Call us crazy or lazy or all of the above, but Joss Whedon sagas like the...

Video: On Top Of (And Around) The World With Leonardo DiCaprio, Tesla And TAG Heuer
It would be really easy to make fun of Leonardo DiCaprio. Heck, if nothing else, the guy was in Titanic, which, according to our extensive research, is the sole reason for the continued popularity of Riverdance. In most countries, that would be worth a death sentence or two, or at least a good...
