More stringent fuel economy and emissions regulations rolling in across major markets around the globe have all automakers, even supercar manufacturers, rethinking their designs and manufacturing processes in an effort to become greener. Even the likes of Ferrari and Porsche will be launching new...

Volvo announced today that current board member Håkan Samuelsson will take over as president and CEO, effective immediately. Samuelsson replaces Stefan Jacoby, who was on sick leave following a mild stroke suffered last month. Jacoby, who was set to return later this month, has been running...

Just like its cars, Tesla’s dealership model is very different to what you’ll normally find in the auto industry. Rather than independent showrooms, Tesla has its own retail-style stores, some even located in shopping malls, where potential customers can find out more about...

We're not generally in the business of promoting other media outlets around here. It's not that we're mean-spirited or threatened by such activity; it's just not good business. But for now, we're setting that aside and helping get the word out in the interests of enthusiasts everywhere: Subiesport...

Last week, the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, paid a visit to Nissan HQ and sampled some of the Japanese automaker’s latest cars. Bolt, who was already signed by Nissan to help promote the GT-R supercar, was also in Japan to sign a new deal to extend his role as brand ambassador for...

German automakers seem to have two absolute rules: there is no such this as “too complex,” and Americans don’t buy hatchbacks. We can’t comment on the first point, but as for the second, well, that means we miss out on some of the best compact cars Germany has to offer. Case...

We’ve all been there: one minute you’re kicking back, sipping Dom Perignon from the navel of a “relaxation specialist,” wondering if her fee can be counted as a business expense on your taxes, and the next you’re wearing a black hood in the back of a clapped-out...

In light of declining global sales and the increasing cost of motorsports, many manufacturers have cut back on racing involvement. BMW has pulled MINI out of the WRC, and Ford announced it was ending its WRC efforts as well. Dodge cancelled its NASCAR program after losing Penske for the 2013...

The European economic crisis is having a serious impact on car sales there, and 2012 is likely to end with the biggest single-year sales decline in 19 years. Faced with shrinking sales in Europe and a slowing economy in Asia, BMW is turning to its U.S. dealers for help. USA Today is reporting that...

Yesterday we brought you the news that the Nissan DeltaWing racer had been involved in its second at-speed crash, this time colliding with a GTC Porsche 911 in practice for Saturday’s ALMS Petit Le Mans. At this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, the experimental car was take out of contention by a...

Though it's expected to be an evolutionary step forward from the C6 Corvette, the 2014 Chevy Corvette is being called "all-new" by Ed Welburn. Whatever the case, however, we'll find out the full details on January 13th, the day before the Detroit Auto Show. The new logo is a stylized set of crossed...

The next Lexus IS is set to appear in late 2013 as a 2014 model. We’ve seen spy photos of the new car in testing, and we’ve previously reported that the car will be both sportier and more upscale than the version it replaces. We know that a hybrid version is in the works, too, although...

Maserati has issued a recall on certain versions of its GranTurismo flagship and Quattroporte luxury sedan due to a potential fault with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) fitted to the cars. The recall affects all 2012 GranTurismo coupes and GranTurismo Convertibles, including the...

Last month, we brought you an update on the progress of the Huet Brothers coupes, which will be built in both road and race trim. Designed as no-compromise sports cars, the HB Coupe and the HB Coupe Race will be the least-expensive carbon fiber monocoque cars on the market when they hit the streets...

Hot on the heels of the special edition Porsche Panamera we saw earlier today comes two special BMW models developed exclusively for the U.S. market. They are based on the 2013 X6 crossover and 2013 6-Series coupe and offer a host of luxurious extras at only minimal additional cost. Of course...

The boss of Ford’s Australian division, Bob Graziano, ended months of silence on the fate of the Ford Falcon by confirming that a new generation of the large sedan will be launched in the Australian market in 2014. Graziano made the confirmation at the 2012 Australian Motor Show earlier...

Acura is now deep into testing its next-generation MDX and we managed to scoop a much more complete prototype on the Nürburgring and on some of the German race track's surrounding streets. It was spotted testing alongside a BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne, two vehicles Acura is hoping to steal...

Though it’s not quite the new BRZ STI model we’ve been hoping for, Subaru has unveiled a range of performance upgrades for the BRZ sports car developed by its performance arm Subaru Tecnica International. The upgrades were previewed today on a concept vehicle at the 2012 Australian...

Ill-fated is perhaps the best descriptor for the Nissan DeltaWing project at this point. First it failed to beat out the new Dallara offering as the next spec chassis for IndyCar, then it was taken out just hours into the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and now it has ended up on its lid after what appears to...

For those that had expected a totally new Lexus concept to come forth down under, we're sorry: this is the LF-LC Blue Concept, which is primarily different from the LF-LC shown at Detroit this year in color only. We do, fortunately, get a single new spec, however, finally elucidating the power of...
