  • Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus Boot

    Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus may be knee deep in the development of a new mid-engine sports car to be called the 004, but the motorsport and engineering firm is also exploring the potential of an ultimate utility vehicle—and it's using the Baja Boot as inspiration. For the uninitiated, the Baja Boot is an off-road buggy developed by hot rodder Vic Hickey and raced by actor Steve McQueen in the 1960s in what is today recognized as the Baja 1000. Only two were made. One is in a museum in the Netherlands and the other was snapped up by SCG founder James Glickenhaus at an auction in 2010...

    AMG's SL73 nameplate to return as 805-hp hybrid?

    The next-generation Mercedes-Benz SL is expected to evolve into a larger, more luxurious grand tourer with 2+2 seating and a soft-top roof—and replace the S-Class Coupe in the process. Despite this move into GT territory, the car should be sportier than the current model due to the adoption...

  • Bugatti EB 110 becomes SP-110 Edonis Fenice
    Remaining 15 Bugatti EB110 chassis receive new lease on life as SP-110 Edonis

    Ferrari apparently just held a private unveiling of a hard-core version of its 488 GTB, and as you might have guessed, thanks to the Internet, it's hard to keep a secret. Blurry cellphone photos of the new supercar were quickly posted to more than one Instagram account by several people who seem to have attended the event. The car looks just like the schematics from a previously leaked presentation slide, with large air intakes in the front end and a hood containing a massive vent. While you can't tell much from the photos, the wheels are rumored to be made of carbon fiber to save 40 pounds...

    2019 BMW Z4 spy shots and video

    It was in 2011 that we first caught wind of BMW and Toyota’s plans to jointly develop a “mid-size sports car platform” to spawn replacements for their respective Z4 and Supra models. Today we have new spy shots plus video of a prototype for the BMW model, previously thought to be...

  • 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S
    Lamborghini isn't interested in self-driving tech or going full-electric

    Lamborghini is about fun. So says the company's head of research and development Maurizio Reggiani. That means self-driving capability is off the table; it also means an electric Lambo won't be a reality for some time as the technology isn't where it needs to be for a brand that has definite...

Bush, plus auction house Barrett-Jackson. The former president attended a Barrett-Jackson auction on Saturday in Scottsdale, Arizona and...

  • 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S

    The Lamborghini Aventador is a technological marvel, with its Formula 1-inspired inboard dampers, all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, and V-12 engine. The stunning supercar dates back to 2011, so it's due for replacement fairly soon. We have reported that 2020 could be the target date for an Aventador successor. By that time, nine years will have elapsed between generations, and changes in the market could mean changes for the next generation of Lambo's flagship supercar. Lamborghini showed its Urus SUV to a North American audience for the first time this week on the sidelines of the...

  • Mercedes-Benz MBUX user interface
    Mercedes' new MBUX infotainment system is like Google Assistant for your car

    For years we have wondered why our cars' infotainment systems can't be as simple and smart as our phones. It took until 2018, but Mercedes-Benz has finally hit that target. The answer is called Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX for short), and it's the German automaker's new infotainment system...

  • Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 teaser

    Ford made Mustang news here in Detroit with a third go at the Bullitt Mustang (a fourth if you count the original movie car as the first), but the Blue Oval teased an even meaner pony car on Monday evening of the 2018 Detroit auto show's press days. Ford didn't trot out a car, or show a teaser shot of a silhouette. Instead, a video showing the original Shelby GT500 morphing into the next-generation GT500 appeared on Ford's YouTube channel. The video gives us our first look at the new Shelby GT500's wheels, quad-exhaust tips, wing, front splitter, and we even hear its exhaust note. How...

    2019 Ford Ranger marks Ford's return to mid-size pickup market

    As the domestic automakers chased bigger profits on their full-size trucks 'round about a decade ago, they let their mid-size pickups die on the vine.
