Luxury Cars

Contrary to reports made by most other motoring websites, Bentley is well underway in developing a SUV for the prestige market. Though management at Bentley headquarters in Crewe, England, still adamantly deny production of such a vehicle, we’re still hearing whispers that the vehicle is...

Ever determined to dominate territory formerly associated strictly with the Germans, Lexus, Toyota’s luxury division, has announced two new models to enter the fullsize luxury sedan market. They include the 2007 LS 460 and LS 460 L, a long-wheelbase model, which happens to be a first for...

We finally have official images of the new BMW X5 which arrives on the market as a 2007 model. The latest version will be bigger than the outgoing X5, growing in both length and width and no doubt adding extra weight as well. Power will come from two new petrol engines, a 3.0-litre inline six with...

Mercedes-Benz has been offering its military inspired G-Wagen to civilians since 1979. In terms of design, nothing much has changed since the original. For the 2007 model year, Mercedes tuning arm AMG has bumped up power to 500 horsepower from the vehicle's supercharged 5.5-liter V-8 while maximum...

Group Lotus, with the help of its parent company Proton Holdings, plans to implement some massive changes to fully utilize the synergies between the two companies. Proton plans to introduce a new division to be staffed by people from both companies in attempt to turnaround the financial status of...

Rumor has it that BMW is developing a new X car in the form of the X4 to enter the emerging crossover market. To be based on the existing X3, the X4 will have four doors but will come with a more coupe-like roof. There may even be a two door variant as well. The new vehicle will be a niche product...

Bowing to public demand, Bugatti is planning to build a targa version of the Veyron for the princely sum of $1.9 million. Sadly, for those with ambitions of feeling the wind through their hair at over 250 mph, the car’s speed is to be electronically limited to 217 mph because of safety...

Last year it was a 15,000-mile trek through China in a pair of 612 Scagliettis. This year, Ferrari plans to drive two brand new 599 GTB Fioranos on a journey spanning 20,000 miles from Brazil to New York. Starting on August 24, a team consisting of 50 different international journalists will take...

Our favorite grumpy Brit Jeremy Clarkson has reviewed the latest Aston Martin DB9. One of the problems many DB9 owners have had is that the battery can die if you don’t drive it for a few days. Clarkson borrows an Aston to try to test this, but gives in after three days, saying: "I’m...

Ferrari’s successor to the Enzo is still way out on the horizon, but the potent FXX that's already in the hands of owners is a clear pointer to the kind of performance you can expect. The Italian automaker has gathered important feedback from its 29 client test-drivers of the exclusive FXX...

Car customiser JE Design have created a wide-body kit for the Audi Q7, which, not surprisingly, is labelled the Q7 WIDE BODY. The normally understated look of the Audi is masked by the excessive body kit that screams “plastic fantastic.” This is an obvious case of too much money and no...

The United States can finally taste what the rest of the world has been enjoying for the past decade. Alfa Romeo has been improving their cars to a degree where they’re now a worthy alternative to some of the German brands. After their dismal performance in the U.S. back in 1995 (they only...

Though the Porsche 911 is arguably the best sports car in the world, its well heeled clients have long been disappointed with the interior trim and lac of luxury. Sure, a 911 isn’t a bad place to be, but cars from Aston Martin and Bentley are a huge step ahead in terms of luxury. Porsche has...

In its pursuit of the “ultimate driving machine” BMW has developed a system that, well, doesn’t require any driving. BMW has designed a self-parking car that uses a small camera and reflector placed at the end of your garage. It requires just a single push of a button attached to...

For all the doubters who thought the Bugatti Veyron wouldn’t even make it out of testing and that Volkswagen (Bugatti’s parent company) were kidding themselves by producing a world-beating supercar, prepare to get owned. Bugatti dealers across the U.S. already have a total of 30...

Audi's late entry into the world of SUVs is doing much better than they expected. Their planned capacity of 60,000 units per year is already overstreatched so they've decided to add another 10,000 to that. Audi marketing man Ralph Weyler claims that a further increase to 80,000 units is on the...

Looking like an everyday, factory 1995 BMW M3, this yellow screamer from tuning house ICS Performance pumps out a Veyron-like 1,000 horsepower courtesy of its massive PT76-GTS turbocharger. Controlling boost via a Sias-tuned Electromotive TEC3R engine management system, the Bumblebee, as it’s...
