If you had any doubt that Aston Martin's over-the-top cars were a direct reflection of the brand itself, all you need to do is watch the party it threw for its 100th birthday. British and classy it may be, but this is no dusty old geezer. Held in Dubai, the Aston Martin centenary celebration...

The Tesla Model S Performance is no joke when it comes to straight-line acceleration, as we found out for ourselves last year on the canyon roads and freeways around Malibu. But exactly how much of the rated 416 horsepower makes it to the ground, without the loss inherent in a multi-geared setup...

Call us paranoid (you wouldn’t be the first), but sooner or later the zombie apocalypse will be more than just the theme of a popular weekly television show. We’re not suggesting that the dead will actually rise from the grave to eat the flesh of the living; instead, we’re using...

Audi’s R8 Grand-Am debuted at the 2012 Rolex 24 at Daytona, and its inaugural race was less than stellar. The APR Motorsports car finished 31st in class (44th overall, some 280 laps down), followed by the Oryx Racing R8, which finished 32nd in class (45th overall, 295 laps down). Any new race...

The 2014 Chevy Corvette is brand-spanking-new this week, but already its drop-top counterpart appears to have leaked to the web. We're glad to see it's looking sharp and dapper, but at the same time, we're bummed that the surprise has been ruined. Acura's new flagship sedan, the RLX, has finally...

BMW is preparing to replace the 3-Series Coupe with a new 4-Series, and it brought a thinly veiled version of the new two-door to the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in the form of a 4-Series Coupe Concept. This concept features both the latest interpretation of BMW's design language, but also the latest...

After its sales were hampered in 2011 by an earthquake in Japan and flooding in Thailand, not to mention ongoing unintended acceleration claims, Toyota rebounded in 2012 to reclaim the title of world’s largest automaker which it had lost to General Motors the preceding year. The Japanese...

Sixty years ago today, the Chevrolet Corvette made its debut appearance at GM’s Motorama exhibit in New York City. New car introductions were a big deal then, and anxious spectators lined Park Avenue to get a look at Chevy’s futuristic roadster. Production wasn’t even planned when...

Following the earlier sighting of crudely-built test mules, the first completed prototypes for the 2014 Jeep Liberty have now been spotted testing ahead of the vehicle’s debut later this year. While it’s not clear whether the new vehicle will retain the Liberty name, or possibly end up...

For the second year in a row, a team fielding the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 race car has taken overall victory at the grueling Dubai 24 Hours endurance race. Additionally, the winner this year was also the overall winner at last year’s event. That winner was the team Abu Dhabi by Black...

The first of Mercedes-Benz’s new generation of compact cars to reach the U.S., the 2014 CLA Class four-door coupe, made its debut this week at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show ahead of its sales launch later this year where it will wear a $30k pricetag. A new video plus our own live photos of the...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was just unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and unless you've been hiding under a very large rock, you already know what it looks like and every other detail, too. Now, it seems the coupe's convertible alternative has leaked about a year ahead of its...

The 2014 Acura MDX, seen here in live images from this week’s Detroit Auto Show, is officially listed as a “prototype.” As with most new product introductions from Honda and Acura in recent years, we suspect the production version will look a lot like the vehicle pictured here...

Teething problems of its plug-in hybrid drivetrain aside, it’s likely that we can all agree on one thing: the Fisker Karma is a good-looking car. Its design may not be breathtaking, but its tastefully-penned lines will likely look as good in ten years as they do today. “If only,”...

In August of last year, Rhys Millen set a new record for a run up the 12.42 mile Pikes Peak Hill Climb course, behind the wheel of his race-prepped Hyundai Genesis Coupe. When he crossed the finish line at the top of the mountain, just 9:46.164 had elapsed. Just over one month later, Millen’s...

A modern global auto plant has no discernible nationality. Aside from language and perhaps the ethnicities of its workers, the inside of the latest engine plant on one continent is identical to the same location in a similar plant on another continent. That was clear at the opening of...

Revealed in production trim at last year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, Acura’s flagship RLX sedan will begin arriving at dealers on March 15. To promote the car ahead of its launch, Acura dealers will kick off a test-drive oriented “Destination RLX” campaign in February. Five...
