I have little to no love for any products that automotive customizer Mansory has put out over its history. The styling is typically far too in-your-face in the worst way, turning exotic, luxury, or high-performance machines into rolling bits of poorly planned pop art. The saying "It's not my cup of...

The hilarious Craigslist ad that spawned a project to restore Luke Aker’s much-loved but neglected 1996 Nissan Maxima to its former luxury has reached fruition. The car is ready for display at Nissan North America’s headquarters. It turns out the ECU programming on the 2015 Chevrolet...

Having launched its new generation of Drive-E engines in four-cylinder format, Volvo is now working to develop three-cylinder engines sharing the modular, 0.5-liter cylinder design. The new three-cylinder engines, which accordingly will displace 1.5 liters, will appear in Volvo’s new range of...

There’s no denying that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is one heck of a performance bargain, with the $78,995 coupe (or $83,995 convertible) coming with a supercar-like 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque straight out of the box. Now that the first examples have been delivered, some...

McLaren has finally ended speculation about its driver lineup for the 2015 Formula One World Championship, announcing today it has signed former Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso to drive alongside existing recruit Jenson Button. Sadly for Kevin Magnussen, who drove for McLaren during the 2014 season...

The hilarious Craigslist ad that spawned a project to restore Luke Aker’s much-loved but neglected 1996 Nissan Maxima to its former luxury has reached fruition. The car is ready for display at Nissan North America’s headquarters—and we’re on hand to see the final result...

Let me drop a little bit of insight here before we start this post. One of my dreams is to own a replica of the ultra-angry Ford Falcon XB GT from Mad Max. To have all eight side pipes bursting forth with the aggression from the last of the V8 Interceptors would put a perma-smile on my face, and...

Over in the Hooniverse, we look at things... a little differently. Some see a W123-generation Mercedes-Benz wagon as a timeless piece of German engineering that's not to be messed with. Under the hood is a stout five-cylinder turbodiesel engine that's designed to run until the Sun burns out. We see...

Earlier this month, cash-strapped Saab owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) asked a Swedish court to extend the period for its restructuring so that it could finalize a deal with a new investor. NEVS said at the time that it was in talks with two Asian firms, which court documents have now...

A monster truck, a six-gullwing limo, a convertible, and, naturally a Back To The Future homage. These are Rich Weissensel’s crazy creations. They are awesome. WATCH: 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Faces Off Against Viper T/A, Ferrari 458 Italia: Video The Chicagoan has no explanation for his rather...

Mercedes-Benz’s rival to the BMW X6 has been revealed today in full ahead of its world debut at next month’s 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The vehicle is called the GLE Coupe and it’s the first Mercedes to come in new AMG sport trim. MINI will use the upcoming Detroit show to present...

Getting a car to crest the 250-mph mark takes over 1,000 horsepower. Just ask the engineers behind the Bugatti Veyron or virtually any of the competitors at events like the Texas Mile. It's a heck of a feat to make a car go that fast. Now imagine you want to take a land-based vehicle and break the...

While the sixth-generation Mustang has been in showrooms for the past couple of months, the Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] only started shipping the convertible version this week. The convertible is available in base, EcoBoost and GT Premium trim but isn’t being offered in regular GT or...

Honda’s Civic hatchback sold overseas is set to spawn a new Type R variant complete with a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine spitting out more than 276 horsepower (we hear the final figure may be closer to 320 hp). Sadly, this model isn’t headed to the U.S...

MINI’s all-new Hardtop is a lot of fun in Cooper and Cooper S trim but lacking from the lineup is the sporty John Cooper Works variant, which has been revealed today ahead of an official world debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. It was at this year’s Detroit event that MINI rolled out...

As the 2015 Detroit Auto Show draws nearer, the jurors of the North American Car & Truck/Utility Of The Year (NACTOY) Award hone their field from the long list to the short—and prepare to hand out of the trophies. Our own editorial director Marty Padgett is among those jurors, and will...

A recall notice has been issued for the 2014 and 2015 Jaguar F-Type. No, it's not to quiet down the exhaust note (thank goodness), but rather to fix a potential issue related to the seatbelt harness connector. ALSO SEE: Lies! There Is No $212,000 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat It seems that the...

As has been known for some time, Volvo’s future lineup—starting with the all-new 2016 XC90—will come powered exclusively by engines with no more than four cylinders. However, in order to match the performance of rivals, Volvo will equip its cars with turbocharging and hybrid...

The sole surviving drivable ‘Eleanor’ Ford Mustang from 2000’s hit movie Gone In 60 Seconds is coming up for auction. The last time the car changed hands the selling price was $1 million. BMW has promoted its product development chief to the role of CEO. The announcement coincides...

Of the 11 ‘Eleanor’ Ford Mustangs created for 2000’s hit movie Gone In 60 Seconds, which starred Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie, only three of the cars were actually drivable and two of these were destroyed in the climactic bridge jump and junkyard crusher scenes. Now the...
