  • Lincoln MK9 Concept

    Lincoln was once the epitome of American automotive luxury, but the past 40 years haven't been kind to the brand. Some might argue the brand hasn't been kind to itself, existing on a diet of hand-me-down Fords and lukewarm marketing. But Lincoln, and its parent company, have been talking big about changing that of late. Enter the rumors of a Lincoln two-seat flagship. Plastered across the cover of Road & Track's June issue, the talk has built into a buzz. But is there any substance to the story? The idea of a two-seater or a flagship coupe are not entirely new within Lincoln, even within...

You'll find a minimum of that here. Instead, I offer you a fellow...

  • Hawker Beechcraft K4000 and Lotus Exos Type 125

    Lotus has teamed up with another legendary company, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC), the manufacturer of Hawker and Beechcraft business jets, with the two firms working together on a number of unique initiatives. And to mark the occasion, HBC will be giving away a free Lotus sports car to anyone who buys one of its jets from now until June 30--as long as you live in Europe, the Middle East or Africa. Unfortunately, buyers won’t be getting the million dollar Lotus Exos Type 125 pictured above. After all, Lotus is only building 30 examples of its privateer race car. Instead, customers...

  • Lotus Exige crashes on the Nurburgring

    One look at the image above says it all. The driver of this Lotus Exige is probably not in the best of moods despite having survived a potentially life threatening crash on the notorious Nurburgring, a track often nicknamed the ‘Green Hell’. This latest video, which shows the before and after of the actual crash, illustrates just how deceptively dangerous the legendary race track can be. What seems like a bright sunny day at the ‘Ring, with little traffic and just a gentle curve to negotiate, turns out to be dreadful for this driver. Traveling at speeds of around 100 mph, it...

  • 2012 Hyundai Veloster

    We first saw the new 2012 Hyundai Veloster back at the Detroit Auto Show in January, but at the more recent New York Auto Show, Hyundai’s corporate planning chief Michael O’Brien gave us a much closer look at his company’s latest sports offering.

Hyundai calls it a three-door vehicle, but the Veloster has four doors in all, counting the hatchback, the driver-side door, and the pair of doors on its...

    Mini-films are a favorite of the high-end luxury brands, particularly the German ones. This film skips a lot of the kitsch and awkwardness common to most of the genre and offers a nine-minute action/thriller in its place. Dubbed "Drive & Seek," the mini-movie follows a lead character as he...
