We’ve seen and heard a lot about all the cars featured in the latest Transformers movie, Transformers: Edge of Extinction, but now we have details on a very special vehicle that starred alongside Tom Cruise in the latest sci-fi flick Edge of Tomorrow. That vehicle is a bespoke Jeep Wrangler...

These are the latest spy shots of the stretched 'Maybach' version of the latest-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Up to six different S-Class variants will eventually be launched, including this S-Class Maybach, which we’re expecting to be revealed later this year, as a 2015 model. Once a...

A senior executive at BMW’s M division has quashed rumors that the German automaker may launch an M version of the stylish 4-Series Gran Coupe. BMW does sell an M6 Gran Coupe and considered adding a smaller M4 Gran Coupe to the lineup at one point, but has chosen to forgo it. “That is a...

These are the first spy shots of a facelifted version of the Chrysler 300 due out later this year, as a 2015 model. Being a mid-cycle update (the current 300 was all-new for 2011), the updates to the car aren’t extensive though they should help the big and boxy sedan fit in with a raft of...

Saleen has been building high-performance custom Mustangs for decades now, and fans of the tuned muscle cars will be keen to know that the next generation of the car will receive the same treatment. This is the first image of the Saleen S302. Released today, the image shows the car’s dramatic...

It’s official: the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the most powerful production muscle car ever—and even more powerful than the Viper supercar, with 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque on tap. The massive power output dwarfs even the previous ludicrous power title-holder, the...

With features like floor bibs, a cavernous twerk, and an inside, it’s hard not to recognize the Volvo V60 wagon as most definitely a car, not a motorcycle or a plane. Those are among the lessons learned in this hilarious ad from YouTube user PonyHans, also known as Christoffer Castor...

Not all companies can boast car guys at the top management levels, but Nissan vice president Andy Palmer seems to count himself among that crowd in Nissan's latest Goodwood Festival of Speed video. That may be strange to hear, given Palmer's apparent distaste for the Toyota 86, Scion FR-S and...

Honda is as much known for its engines as it is vehicles, and it seems to matter little what those engines actually go in. Sporty little Civic? No problem. Crazy six-cylinder, 250cc 1960s Grand Prix bike? Yep. Ride-on lawn mower? That too. Honda also does aircraft, and its first one, the HondaJet...

A new street/track car is coming, and it’s coming from the team that brought us the awesomeness that is the Rally Fighter. Focusing their powers of open-source construction and outside-the-box thinking, the Local Motors crew will move from the dirt to the pavement with a modular car designed...

The guy who brought us Drift Garage and its drift missile build, Formula Drift champ Chris Forsberg, is embarking on a new series that will see him touring garages around the U.S., from home-built outfits to massive professional teams. It’s called Garage Tours. Scheduled to run every Tuesday...

Mercedes-Benz’s new S63 AMG Coupe is the perfect grand tourer for cruising along empty scenic roads. How do we know that? Because we just drove one along the beautiful roads of Tuscany. The Lexus IS was completely redesigned for 2014, but just one model year on the stylish sedan is receiving...

One of the ways Alan Mulally helped Ford from going under during the 2008 global financial crisis was by offloading the individual brands that made up its Premier Auto Group, such as Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo, which at the time were a huge drain on the company’s finances...

We’re sure that for most people hopping behind the wheel of Bentley’s Mulsanne flagship sedan, the car’s 505 horsepower and massive 752 pound-feet of torque will be more than adequate. However, it appears there’s been sufficient demand for a more potent Mulsanne to warrant...

The latest installment of the Transformers movie franchise, Transformers: Age Of Extinction, has made its theatrical debut, and many of the reviews are talking about the high level of product placement in the movie. Being a Hollywood blockbuster, that probably doesn’t come as much of a...

Jaguar will soon phase out its R-S badge used on its performance cars like the XFR-S and XKR-S, and replace it with a new SVR badge. Sister company Land Rover will also use the SVR badge for new performance models it’s planning, the first of which will be a Range Rover Sport SVR, previewed in...

Ferrari’s flagship supercar, the LaFerrari, has only been in customer hands for several months but the first crash involving one of the cars since its launch has occurred (a prototype was involved in a crash last year), and it’s not surprising that the crash took place in Monaco. The...

You might not often think about them, but the springs in your car’s suspension are a key piece of technology—and one that has been largely unchanged for decades. The simple steel coil spring has served in effective anonymity—but its days may be numbered. Audi is planning to put a...

The hillclimb is a dying art in North America, thanks to a litigious public and an unreasoning disregard for rally-style motorsports. But at Mt. Washington, just as at Pikes Peak, it’s alive and well. Here, a Nissan 240SX makes a blazing but smooth run to the top of the mountain in rear-drive...

The Goodwood Festival of Speed should be on every gearhead’s bucket list. Whatever you have to do to get there, do it. Beg, borrow, stow away on an ocean liner. Get there. Motor Authority was fortunate enough to attend this year’s event, and though it was only for a few brief hours, we...
