  • 2014 Volkswagen iBeetle

    While we certainly hope the Volkswagen iBeetle doesn't start a trend of iNaming all kinds of iCars with ridiculous iTags, we do like the way VW has kitted the iBeetle to interface with the iPhone and several apps. The new iBeetle includes an iPhone docking station, integrated into the dashboard. The iPhone snaps in place, allowing almost all of the phone's functions to be used directly in the iBeetle, including hands-free calling, navigation, music, etc. Also included is an app that wraps together the functions of Spotify (a music streaming and sharing service), advanced on-board...

  • 2015 BMW 2-Series Coupe spy shots

    We have exclusive spy footage of a prototype for the upcoming BMW 2-Series Coupe, the replacement for the aging 1-Series Coupe, which was recently spotted conducting some high-speed tests on Germany’s grueling Nürburgring circuit. The car is essentially a coupe version of the latest 1-Series Hatchback sold overseas and previously tested by Motor Authority, and its size and proportions give it an overall look and feel that’s reminiscent of BMW’s legendary 2002 from the 1960s and ‘70s. We’ve already seen spy shots of this model, as well as its convertible...

  • 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4

    The manual transmission has died a nearly complete death at the upper echelon of the sports/supercar market. At Lamborghini, it has been seen coming for a while now. But could the final edition of the Gallardo bring it back, if only for a while? It might, according to a report from Road & Track. Lamborghini of America CEO Michael Lock revealed that the final Gallardo would be a stripped, basic version with an H-pattern shifter, and rear-wheel drive (like the LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni edition). It will be the purist's Gallardo, built for enthusiasts. With a brand-new Gallardo to follow...

    Hear The Lamborghini Veneno: Video

    The Lamborghini Veneno is, more or less, ridiculous. But it's a good kind of ridiculous. The kind that satisfies the kid inside you. Good news: it doesn't just look ridiculous--it sounds it, too.
