GreenCarReports took the 2011 Cayenne Hybrid S for a spin and found it's not just kidding around with its hybrid system--and it's a fun-to-drive luxury SUV to boot.

There aren't many production engines that sound better at full song than BMW's V-10, which manages to simply scream rather than sounding like a truck as many other V-10s do (we're looking at you, Viper). But putting one in a 1996 Subaru WRX? That doesn't sound so great. That is, it doesn't sound so...

In an age known for its electric vehicles, hybrid drivetrains, clean diesels and alternative fuels, you might not think there's a place in the world for a pushrod V8 with architecture dating back to the 1950s. GM disagrees though, and is currently making a case for continuing the lineage of one of...

A Nissan Leaf will be the first electric car entered into the Cannonball Ireland charity rally.

The battle at the top of the luxury market has increasingly become about volume (see, for example, Porsche's expansion to new model niches) but it's also about profitability, which means not just selling more cars, but selling more high-end cars. To that end, Mercedes-Benz is said to be considering...

The Toyota FT-86 II gets yet another teaser, this time on video. [MotorAuthority] The Bugatti Galibier is being put on hold to make it a little bit wilder. [MotorAuthority] Electric cars survive the troubles of Hurricane Irene better than expected. [GreenCarReports] Audi reveals the A2 Concept...

Toyota's dropped a new YouTube video of its FT-86 II concept. We've talked about the admittedly gorgeous concept so much--as recently as this year's 2011 Geneva Motor Show--we're not sure what else to say about the FT, which embarked a few years ago on a gestation cycle longer than that endured by...

There are all manner of rumors and conjecture surrounding the development of a high-performance Lexus GS F, including reports claiming the car could borrow the LFA’s V-10, go the hybrid route, or simply feature a regular V-8. The latest speculation is that the car will be coming in time for...

Audi’s R8 LMS race car has been with us for a little over two years now, and during that time has notched up quite a number of wins, including more than 100 GT3 class wins in Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. Audi is now preparing the R8 LMS customer race car for the U.S. A dedicated...

In standard trim the Lexus LFA supercar has lapped the notorious Nurburgring-Nordschleife in a reasonable 7:38, but now the car equipped with its optional Nurburgring Package has done the feat in just 7:14.64. Yes, you read that correctly. And here's the video to prove it. Not only is this time...

The new 2012 BMW 1-Series Hatchback will make its official debut next week at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, and BMW will use the opportunity to showcase a range of new accessories for it falling under the BMW Performance heading. While the new 1-Series Hatchback is yet to be confirmed for sale in...

There’s a new Audi model coming that will be positioned between the entry-level A1 and A3 Hatchback and soon-to-be released A3 Sedan, and now we have our first tangible evidence as to how it may look. We’re of course talking about the Audi A2, the long-rumored successor to the previous...

Wolfgang Durheimer is reportedly not quite happy with the 16C Galibier's 800 horses and opulent interior. He demands more before green-lighting the sedan.

Jaguar's C-X75 concept, as wild as it is, is still headed for (very limited) production. The latest concept, due for a complete unveiling at the Frankfurt Auto Show, is the C-X16 Production Concept, shown here in the first official images, and it looks much more like something that will see...

The 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the Monterey Motorsport Reunion are just a couple of weeks behind us, but we already have more incredible vintage sports and racing car action to look forward to: the Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV heads to Laguna Seca October 14-16. Highlighting...

GM has announced pricing for the 2012 Buick Verano

We all like to think that our cars have been developed using technology bred on the race track. It adds a sense of kudos and the impression of thoroughbred engineering to even the most mundane of vehicles. Ironic then, that with the push towards electric vehicles as road transport, the world of...

Ammonia: Useful in fertilizers, cleaning products and fairly unpleasant in direct human contact. Used as a fuel for vehicles? Certainly not impossible, according to an article in New Scientist. John Fleming and Tim Maxwell at Texas Tech University are developing a system to produce ammonia that can...

The Frankfurt Auto Show is ramping up its action a full week out of the first press days, and the latest to join the fray is the Fisker Surf concept. In this teaser image, we get an idea of what to expect, and it's good. Fisker hasn't had a hard time generating the right curves and lines to get...

It doesn't seem like it's been four years since one of the greatest rally drivers to have turned a gravel-chucking wheel died in a private helicopter accident: Colin McRae's death in 2007 still feels fresh to rally fans. And now it's been ruled his fault by British authorities. The latest word on...
