Anyone who initially wrote off Tesla as not lasting should start officially eating their words.

There's some funky name calling going on over at Infiniti, and it's all related to the G37 that's supposed to be yielding to the Q50. That's not how this is going down, however, as we told you earlier. Rumor had it that Infiniti planned to sell the G37 alongside the all-new Q50 in its showrooms for...

For the 2012 motorsport season, Audi introduced an enhanced version of its R18 Le Mans prototype dubbed the R18 ultra. Unlike the R18 e-tron quattro that was also introduced for the 2012 season, the R18 ultra’s development was completely focused on lightweight construction. We then saw Audi...

I'm no Breeder, but Kim Deal and I have at least one thing in common. I've been looking for one divine hammer. Nailed it. What you see here, is what a series of Dutch tourists in lightweight RVs saw through a real-world Adobe echo effect. It's the RS 7, the most outrageous roadgoing Audi of the...

The battle of the mega-four-door-coupes is heating up with the arrival of the 2014 Audi RS 7.

The BMW i3, or MegaCity vehicle as it was once known, has finally been unveiled, and it's an interesting mixture of traits and capabilities.
