  • Lotus: 3 new U.S. models, new Exige S Club Racer

    Lotus has announced a new 5-year plan for the U.S., which will include three all-new models. The Lotus model lineup has been more or less stagnant for the past few years, introducing only variants of established models like the Elise and Exige. The announcement coincides with the appointment of Michael J. Kimberley, current CEO of Group Lotus Plc, to the role of President of Lotus Cars USA, Inc. What the three upcoming models will look like is open to speculation. Surely Colin Chapman's minimalist philosophy will continue to exert a strong influence - though creature-comforts may assume a...

  • Wiesmann's M5-powered GT MF 5

    One of the stranger unveilings at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show was an oddly shaped coupe from Germany’s Wiesmann. The retro-styled coupe, dubbed the GT MF 5, packs the same 5.0L V10 engine used by BMW’s M Division for its M5 and M6 models and is based on Wiesmann’s current GT. Differentiating the MF 5 from the normal GT is the aggressive rear wing and diffuser, necessary for maintaining downforce on the rear axle at high speeds. The chassis consists of a front-mounted mid-engine layout, with drive sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transmission...
