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...

Rolls-Royce recently introduced its newest model, the Ghost, to wide acclaim, despite it being the smallest and least expensive model currently offered by the hyperlux manufacturer. Bentley could easily have followed suit--but it doesn't look like it's going to. Instead, Bentley is eyeing a vehicle...

Purists bemoan Porsche's rapid expansion into non-traditional segments, while buyers eat the cars up with ravenous glee. It's a no-brainer for the people looking to make Porsche into the strongest, most profitable company they can, and CEO Matthias Mueller is at the head of the charge. His plan? To...

Today's fourth installment marks the last in BMW's documentary series entitled "Wherever You Want To Go." Entitled, "How We'll Learn To Stop Worrying And Love The Future," the last video segment pushes an optimistic take on what's to come in the world of personal mobility, positing that it might...

According to Jalopnik, Ford chairman Bill Ford Jr. has publicly stated that a turbocharged Mustang is on the way. Ford Jr. didn't get into specifics, but likely engine choices would either be a 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 or a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder. A turbocharged...

Rumors are spreading on a number of topics today, the latest being Jaguar's planned model revision/addition scheme over the next 12 years. While we take such far-reaching prognostication with a heaping spoonful of salt, it's an interesting bit of speculation. Why doubt the roadmap? Because so much...

Several Dodge products are in line to receive an upcoming eight-speed automatic transmission, and the Dodge Challenger SE is one of them. The current five-speed automatic will likely stick around for a bit, but Autoblog is reporting that the brand's LX platform cars--the Charger and...

We've known since November, 2009, that Chrysler was planning a B-segment car for the U.S. in 2013. The news was revealed in Chrysler's five-year business plan, which confirmed the car would be imported from Europe, aimed at the premium small-car segment, and that it would be accompanied by a small...

According to Autoblog, Chevrolet will continue to crank out different editions of the Camaro. There's the ZL1 top-dog, of course, and a still-rumored Z28 could still hit showrooms along with perhaps a slightly-more fuel-efficient V-6 model. Other special editions we could see this year? An edition...

We know Chevrolet is showing off two cars at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show, and one is likely based on the Chevrolet Camaro platform. We're guessing that the long-awaited 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 will bow, but anything could happen. Although all rumors and signs point in that direction, instead of...

Well known for its dalliances with short-form cinema, BMW is planning a new four-part documentary about the future of transportation entitled "Wherever You Want To Go." Feature elements? Jet packs, flying cars, and, for some reason, a matte black Superbird. The preview video is entertaining in its...

We'd thought that the resurrection of the Z28 name for the upcoming high-end Camaro--which will have a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8--was a foregone conclusion. Sure, we'd heard that GM (NYSE:GM) is using the name "HP Edition," but we figured that was just internal speak. But now we're not so sure...

Left Lane News has put together a rendering of the upcoming Camaro Z28, and it shows a few differences over the current top-dog SS. The most notable difference is the hood, which in this rendering is raised with a bunch of louvers. The lower front fascia also looks a bit different, as it appears to...

Pricing details for the 2012 Ford Mustang are beginning to leak out, and the news is mixed. The good news first: The base Mustang GT sees its price slashed by $500. The bad news: Prices for the V-6 Premium and GT Premium models go up. The Shelby GT500 stays the same. The base GT's cut means that...

We've already brought you news about the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 and the 2011 Dodge Challenger V-6, and now we know how much each model will set you back. If you want the Challenger looks but don't need the honkin' V-8, you can pick up a 305-horsepower V-6 SE for a base price of $24,670, and...

We've already brought you the details on the upcoming 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8, but now we have confirmation from Chrysler on the final numbers. Now dubbed SRT8 392, the top-line Challenger will be powered by a 6.4-liter V-8 that makes 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. That's an improvement...

The crew over at Mustangs Daily has a video from the Paris Auto Show where Ford design chief J Mays hints at what the company might have in store for the 50th anniversary of the Mustang in 2014, as well as a transcription of those parts of the interview. Mays reveals very little, but he does say...

BMW is having a hard time making much money on the 1-series because it is capped in its upper price range by competition with the 3-series, yet it still features much of the same technology and is nearly the same size as its bigger brother. To help remedy this situation, BMW is looking to cut build...
