It’s clear that Ford is planning something special for the 50th anniversary of its iconic Mustang, and it’s equally clear that the car’s revised design may be the best kept secret in the automotive world. Last weekend, images of clay models made the rounds, quickly polarizing fans...

The Texas Mile may need to be renamed to the “Hennessey Mile,” or even the “Mark Heidaker Mile,” since one thing is becoming clear: the tuner and car owner apparently own the top speed record at the semiannual event, held in Beeville, Texas. In March of 2012, driver Sean...

After recent turbulence, legendary Italian design house Pininfarina has posted its first profit since 2004. From a loss of 11.5 million euros ($14.8 million) in 2011, the company has posted a profit of 32.9 million euros ($42.3 million) for 2012, thanks mostly to a one-time gain. Over the years...

Latvian tuner and manufacturer of armored vehicles Dartz has come across what’s possibly the only SUV tougher and more extreme than its own line of Prombron monsters, the new Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6. Rather than trying to outmatch the tough-as-nails AMG off-roader, Dartz has imagined its...

We first caught wind of the Weber FasterOne supercar as far back as 2007, when it consisted of nothing but a few drawings on a piece of paper and some renderings on a computer. Even back then, however, the people behind the car were adamant it would rival the Bugatti Veyron in performance, both in...

Can a four-door be a true sports car? In today’s market—even at the upper end of the market—it seems that there are too many so-called ’no compromise’ luxury cars looking to be so many things at once. With its curvy, performance, car roofline rather intimate 2+2...

Update: The 2014 Cadillac CTS has been revealed. Click here for all the details, photos and video. The 2014 Cadillac CTS sedan has leaked onto the web ahead of its debut this week at the 2013 New York Auto Show--again. Again, no firm details come with the leaked images, but we already know it will...

Automakers are doing all they can to make cars lighter and more fuel efficient, as regulations for average fuel economy and permissible emissions grow ever tighter in Europe and the United States. While automakers have downsized engines in the name of fuel economy and have trimmed weight wherever...

If you're like most of the modern world, you do a lot of your web browsing--including reading about cars--on the go, or at the least, not sitting in front of a traditional computer at a desk. That's why we have our iOS app. Built to work perfectly on both the iPhone and iPad, the Motor Authority...

To be honest, we’re really over the whole celebrity thing. Meet one or two big-name racers, or actors turned racers, and you’ve (more or less) met them all. We’re willing to give autographs to anyone who wants one, but we’re not exactly the celebrity-stalker type ourselves...

The car you see above is the Jason Castriota-penned Saab 9-3--or at least what it would have looked like, had it been built. This is the car that--ostensibly--would have saved the marque, had it survived to see it built. Instead, Saab went bankrupt in December 2011, and the company we once knew and...

If you missed your chance at getting one of the drag-strip-ready COPO Camaros that Chevrolet was building for 2013, the brand is giving drag racers a second chance (of sorts). On March 28, Chevrolet Performance will begin selling an unspecified but “limited number” of Camaro rolling...

With prototypes for facelifted versions of the 5-Series sedan and 5-Series Touring wagon already out and about, it was only a matter of time until we saw a facelifted M5 prototype. These are our first spy shots of the facelifted M5, which we expect to be launched on the market later this year but...

Kia has rolled out a handful of striking concepts in the past couple of months (Provo, Cross GT), and it looks like the Korean automaker has no intention of slowing that pace as a new one is scheduled to bow at this week’s 2013 Seoul Motor Show. While all eyes will be on New York from...

BMW is planning a few changes for its 6-Series lineup in 2014, and from an enthusiast perspective virtually all of them are positive. First and foremost, BMW has heard the complaints of U.S. buyers, and it will introduce a six-speed manual gearbox as a no-charge option on all 2014 M6 variants. That...

As we sit on the cusp of the press days of the 2013 New York Auto Show, there's still plenty going on that's non-show-related. First up is our first drive of the 2014 Lexus IS. It's much improved, and it's quite good--but is it good enough to hang with the new batch of luxury sport sedan...

Kyle Busch hasn’t had the best of luck in the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has looked strong in virtually every race, but had so far managed just one podium finish with a second place at last week’s Food City 500. Kyle Busch again looked like the man to...

The 2014 Lexus IS is here, and it has a serious set of challenges ahead of it: Taking on the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class, Cadillac ATS, and the upcoming Infiniti Q50. Can it hang? This group is one of the most highly competitive in the entire industry, with luxury, performance, and style...

About a year ago we first told you about a new technology Honda was developing aimed at reducing congestion, by first detecting the potential for a traffic jam and then determining the best course of action for drivers in order to prevent one from occurring. It is based on the principle that...

Following this month’s previous announcement from Renault that it will be entering the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, as well as the European Le Mans Series, the French automaker has now revealed the LMP2 prototype that it hopes to be victorious with. Renault is using its Le Mans...
