One of the most anticipated cars of the year, the 2014 Chevrolet SS, finally goes on sale in the fourth quarter of the year, but it may not be around for long. That’s because the car it’s based on, the VF-series Holden Commodore, is scheduled to be replaced by an all-new model in 2016...

British motorsport and engineering firm Prodrive has come out with a new technology that allows it to produce sumptuous carbon fiber panels that can be ordered in virtually any hue. Colored carbon fiber is nothing new and has featured on a number of vehicles in the past, particularly those from...

With the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG now offering as much as 577 horsepower in ‘S-Model’ trim, the 560 horsepower of the BMW M5 is starting to look a little feeble, at least in terms of bragging rights (we doubt most owners would be able to tell the difference). To rectify the issue, BMW...

French automaker Peugeot has released full specifications for its 208-based race car that multiple World Rally winner Sébastien Loeb will campaign in this year’s Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Loeb will be competing in the Unlimited class and is seeking an outright win on the mountain, and...

Which supercar is best? That's a common but complicated question. Is it the fastest? The quickest? The best-handling? The most well-rounded? The prettiest? The most visceral? There's at least one answer to the question, however, and it's settled at the drag strip. Which supercar is best in the...

Aston Martin’s celebratory events for its centenary this year show no signs of slowing, with the automaker today announcing a tour of Europe that will include both the oldest and the newest Aston Martins in existence. Unfortunately, the tour takes place entirely in Europe, but at least there...

When you're used to slapping knees against the pavement at 160 mph, a NASCAR Nationwide car must seem like a lumbering behemoth, despite its 650-ish horsepower. Of course, it also has two more wheels than a Moto GP bike. But that didn't deter Valentino Rossi from getting up to speed quickly in Kyle...

The CLA Class may get a shooting brake variant in the near future, but will it come to the U.S.?

The new ATS has been a very successful car for Cadillac. In addition to racking up awards left and right (including nearly taking our 2013 Best Car To Buy award), the ATS has risen to become Cadillac's second-best-selling model behind the SRX, ahead of the larger XTS and CTS sedans. Soon, it may...

A few years ago Audi appeared gung-ho about launching a new mid-engine sports car positioned between its TT and R8, and based on a platform to be shared with Volkswagen and possibly even Porsche. After a couple of concepts and plenty of rumors, news of the new sports car, which was tipped to be...

Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel has become the first Formula One driver to experience the Sochi Olympic Park Circuit, a street circuit still under construction in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. A new Russian Grand Prix will feature on the 2014 F1 calendar and...

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type's V-8 engine gets some special attention.

Earlier this month, Lexus released a mysterious teaser video along with the message that it was “bringing motion to life.” It turns out that simply meant a series of obscure design events as well as a new global advertising campaign starting next month that will center on the theme...

We’ve heard it all before but rarely have we seen it executed successfully; mid-tier luxury brands attempting to move upmarket and compete with top tier brands. Acura is one such company that has often stated reaching top tier status as its primary goal and in recent years has made...

Following the launch of the updated 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class range earlier in the year, the German automaker has now presented the unique long-wheelbase version of the car developed specially for the Chinese market. Carrying the E-Class L moniker, the stretched sedan made its debut over the...

One of the standouts of last weekend’s 2013 Shanghai Auto Show was a stunning supercar concept from Italian-owned but Shanghai-based design firm Icona. The concept carried the Vulcano name, which is Italian for “volcano,” and its lines were penned by French designer Samuel...
