2012

Warm up your line of credit, it's about to get a workout: the 2012 Audi R8 GT starts from $196,800--excluding the $1,250 delivery fee, bringing the pre-tax, title, and license tally to $198,050. That's about what we expected, though, so there's no sticker shock. How could there be, really, with a...

Ford isn't taking the challenge from the upcoming 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 laying down. Instead, the Blue Oval gang is upping the horsepower count on the next-generation 2013 Shelby GT500 to over 600. In fact, the final number will likely come in around 620. The extra power will come from a boring...

The new 2012 Audi A6 is without doubt a technical marvel. Combining such technologies as radar-based cruise control and adaptive brakes, full LED headlights, a touchpad controller for the MMI interface, a range of fuel efficient yet powerful engines--including an eventual hybrid--and of course, the...

Ford's 2012 Mustang Boss 302S is meant to be a track-day warrior, slotting in between the street-legal Boss 302 Laguna Seca and the race-dedicated Boss 302R. There will be only 50 units of the race-only 302S produced. Ford has released a video showing the car hitting a top speed of over 150 miles...

We reported just this month that customers in the U.S. were holding off on buying the Nissan GT-R in the lead up to the arrival of the facelifted 2012 model, which has been trickling into showrooms this past few weeks. It now appears the wait for the new GT-R will be slightly longer as the recent...

You won’t be able to actually buy one until 2012 at the earliest but to keep your interest piqued the guys at Maranello have launched a new configurator for the latest Ferrari FF supercar. Like most online configurators, the new setup for the Ferrari FF allows you to deck out the car with...

The 2012 BMW 650i convertible has been rumbling around for a little while now, with its sleek lines, 400-horsepower 4.4-liter V-8 and drop top making headlines around the world. Funny thing is, BMW did the whole 6 Series intro a little backwards. Usually, you'll see the coupe before the...

Synonymous with British motorsports for decades, Jaguar has unveiled its new road-going XKR-S, the hottest version of its aging XK platform to date. It's certainly an attractive offering if you're into the Jag coupe, but it has some rather unexpected options--including colors called French Racing...

Online price configurators are nothing new at Ford, which uses them to allow consumers to build and price their potential new-car purchase before heading to the showroom. Earlier this month, Ford updated its online configurator to include the 2012 Mustang. The upcoming 2012 Boss, however, was...

The new 2012 BMW 6-Series is going on sale this year in both Convertible and Coupe bodystyles, the latter of which has been revealed here today in our latest mega-gallery with included official video footage. The svelte new two-door is expected to make its official world debut next month at the...

The Saab 9-3 is in desperate need of a makeover, with the current model first coming onto the market in its earliest iteration back in 2002. Over the years there have been some minor updates to the car but while its competitors have all passed through their successive generations, the Saab 9-3 is...

At the Detroit Auto Show this January, BMW pulled the wraps off its new 2012 6-Series in Convertible form. Now we're getting the first official look at the 2012 BMW 650i Coupe. At first glance, the production 650i Coupe actually doesn't look that much different than the Concept 6-Series Coupe BMW...

In the Alto-Adige region lies the Dolomite mountain range, and at 2,350 meters (about 7,700 feet) you'll find the top of the Plan De Corones. That's where the helicopter-lifted 2012 Ferrari FF is destined in the video below. We're just days away from the first press drives of the car, and the Plan...

Five hundred lucky, patient Fiat 500 enthusiasts will get a special delivery this week: the first Fiats to be sold in the U.S. since 1984, in the form of the Prima Edizione. Fiat enthusiasts were offered the chance to buy the cars as a reward for their loyalty in the brand's absence. Each Prima...

It's been a while since the 2012 Porsche Cayman R officially hit the scene last November, but today we have a bountiful bevy of beautiful new photos for you to peruse. With 10 more horsepower from its 3.4-liter flat six, making for 330 horsepower total, and a lightness-enhancing treatment that...

If you're jonesing for some slightly de-beaked Acura TL, you don't have long to wait: the new 2012 version goes on sale on March 18. Unfortunately, apart from a very mild restyle and a new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission, there's not much new to the TL. Or perhaps that's...

Ferrari made a shooting brake, all-wheel-drive car and the automotive world split into three camps: love it, hate it, and meh. The latest details on the Ferrari's FF all-wheel drive system may not change that fact, but it's sure to intrigue all camps--and spark endless rounds of debate...

If you don't know who Scott Pruett is, you should. He's a legend in U.S. road racing, a dominant force in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car series, and often steps in for NASCAR road course duty as one of the "ringers." Behind the wheel of the Lexus LFA, at breakneck pace, he's still completely...

You already know MINI will be back in WRC this year, testing at a limited number of events ahead of a full push for the 2012 season. Here's the view from inside the company on what it means to throw gravel with the MINI badge. With this years adoption of the cost-saving Super 2000 rules for...

The new four-seat, shooting brake, all-wheel drive Ferrari FF has proved a divisive element among supercar fans, even those whose wool is dyed Rosso Corsa. There's no denying it's also the most useful Ferrari to date, either. These photos show the FF doing things no other Ferrari has even...
