Since its debut at the Paris Auto Show two years ago, we've heard steady but thready rumors that the Audi Quattro Concept would go to production, if in a somewhat revised yet still very enticing form. Now, a report from the U.K.'s CAR magazine indicates it's dead in the water. Why? Because sporty...

In an event that could make sense only in the world of an F1 anti-drunk-driving event sponsored by Johnnie Walker, McLaren F1 driver Lewis Hamilton has piloted an MP4-12C in an effort to create the "most powerful signature" ever on the tarmac in Singapore. While we'd argue for John Hancock's...

In about a year’s time, pilot Andy Green will strap himself into the driver’s seat of the Bloodhound SSC, parked on the flat and straight Hakskeen Pan in South Africa. If all goes as planned, a Cosworth F1 engine will spin up to 17,500 rpm, powering a pump that injects High Test...

With all the attention Nissan was giving the Infiniti Emerg-E, it seemed that production of the environmentally-aware halo car was all but a given. After all, it was a crowd favorite at this year's Geneva Motor Show, and Red Bull Renault’s Mark Webber drove the one-off concept up the hill at...

Although the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was held over a month ago, Aston Martin has only just released this video of the its latest flagship, the reborn Vanquish, being driven on the scenic roads of Northern California. Like all Aston Martin automobiles, its appearance is shaped along...

Porsche's latest 911 Carrera S, the 991, has lapped the 'Ring on video--and set a quick, but not blistering, time of 7:37.9. That's not supercar territory, but the Carrera S is only the second rung up the 911 ladder. The Stinger 609 is the world's smallest supercharged V-8, and it's absolutely...

Aston Martin began producing sports cars in 1913, and since then has become something of an iconic luxury brand, indelibly linked to the world’s best-known fictional spy, James Bond. While Bond's driven many different vehicles throughout 22 films, none is more familiar that the...

For the past two years running, electric cars have taken top honors for European Car of the year. In 2001, it was the Nissan Leaf that edged out challengers like the Jaguar XJ and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, which finished in a respectable second place. Last year, it was the Opel Ampera that brought...

You've seen the live photos, you've read all the official details. Now you can see the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive in action, complete with eerily silent drivetrain and an overbearing narrator. We're usually annoyed at the Wagnerian music and non-stop narration for getting in the way of hearing a...

So you've been looking at a 2013 Range Rover Evoque five-door, but you're also trying to keep your budget as trim as possible? Enter the Evoque Pure, a new entry-level model for the Evoque range this year, starting at $41,995. If you're after the Evoque Coupe, you're still working with the $44,995...

Ride-alongs, without the opportunity to drive, as Chris Harris notes in this video, are one of the main gripes of the canapés-and-cocktail-shrimp lifestyle of the automotive journalist. It's just kind of lame not to be allowed to drive the car yourself. It's also a lot less valuable in terms...

We love the new Porsche 911 Carrera S--so much so that we named it our Best Car To Buy last year. It looks like Timo Kluck loves it, too, in this video of him hustling it around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just 7:37.9. If you missed our impressions from behind the wheel of the new 911, you...

Unless you're into model cars (like, really into them) you may not have heard of Conley Precision Engines. That's a shame. Why? Because they build the Stinger 609, the world's smallest supercharged four-stroke V-8 engine, which has finally entered production. At just 6.09 cubic inches (hence the...

Industry giants Renault-Nissan and Daimler are already tied in various product alliances, which include the sharing of everything from whole vehicle platforms to manufacturing facilities. At last week’s 2012 Paris Auto Show, the heads of both companies, Carlos Ghosn of Renault-Nissan and...

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type just made its debut at the Paris auto show, and now it has been priced--starting from $69,000. Nissan's GT-R is still one of the most impressive bits of performance machinery around, but in the wrong hands, even it can't save a driver from themselves. A new video is proof...

Jay Leno has flown to Japan to film the latest installment of his online series Jay Leno’s Garage. In the new episode he visits Nissan’s headquarters where he gets to sample one of his most beloved cars, the original Datsun 240Z, or Fairlady as it’s known in its domestic market...

In August of this year Dutch firm Spyker filed a $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors in a U.S. District Court in Michigan, alleging the American auto giant had deliberately forced Spyker-owned Saab into bankruptcy by blocking a planned stake purchase by Chinese investor Youngman. GM was given...

Toyota has set a new Nürburgring lap record for an electric car using its TMG EV P002 prototype racer. The final time came in at 7:22.329, which is a full 25 seconds faster than the time set by Toyota’s first EV prototype, which set the previous electric car record for the 12.92-mile...

Warning: This video contains some NSFW language. A nice cruise on some back roads quickly turns into a disaster for one unfortunate Nissan GT-R driver. As this video from YouTube user Alex Shin shows, an impatient driver of a silver GT-R proceeding in what appears to be a procession of sports cars...

Following the introduction of its updated 2012 model range, HSV, official tuner to Holden, has now revealed its latest version of its GTS flagship based on the Holden Commodore sedan. Like the rest of the 2012 HSV range, the latest GTS is being introduced to celebrate the tuning firm’s 25th...
