    Special Edition Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Debuts In Qatar

  • 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition

    The C6 Chevrolet Corvette enters its final year in 2013 and as a last hurrah Chevy is launching the new Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition, the fastest and most capable Corvette convertible ever launched. That 427, as most small-block fans will recognize, is the cubic-inch displacement of GM’s 7.0-liter race-bred LS7 V-8, and the engine’s application in the Corvette convertible makes this particular ‘Vette an instant classic. Peak output remains at 505 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, and just like in the Z06, where the Corvette 427 Convertible gets its...

The 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet packs the...

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series spy shots

    When AMG unleashed the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series back in 2008, engineers decided to do away with the regular SL’s heavy retractable hard-top and replace it instead with a simple fixed roof composed from lightweight carbon fiber. Black Series cars being the most focused and hardcore editions of AMG’s flock, it just didn’t make sense to have a convertible as the flagship of the brand. With AMG now working on a new flagship, the upcoming SLS AMG Black Series, Autobild reports that things will be different this time around. The German magazine reports that both a SLS...
