The mere mention of the words Black Series will either get your blood pumping or instill the fear within you, the latter being the case typically if you’re a BMW M or Audi RS owner. This is because the Black Series title is only applied to a very select series of models, all of which can best...

Consider this one half-baked at best, but there is talk in Europe that BMW's M Division skunkworks may have an X1 M in the oven. If it does come, it could get the same core running gear found in the 1-Series M Coupe. The rumors say the 'is'-badged N54 twin-turbo engine found in the 335is as well as...

The 2012 Mustang Boss is perhaps the most impressive off-the-shelf naturally-aspirated muscle car ever. But if you're looking for a little more four-ringed elegance and some forced-induction action, and can't wait for Audi to bring its latest RS models to the U.S., you can talk to the good folks at...

Muscle-car collector Mike Guarise collected more than a few Nickey cars, and seven of them are up for auction at Mecum next month. During the auction, which takes place May 17-22, seven Nickey cars (cars modified by a well-known Chicago-area dealer) will be auctioned from Guarise's collection...

Kyle Busch will be making even more money than usual this year, if reports of Kimi Raikkonen's deal to drive one of Busch's trucks are correct. The reports say Raikkonen will be cutting a check for $100,000 to Busch's team--for every race he enters in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The...

If you're in the market for the latest in hand-made Italian aerodynamic wizardry, get ready to book a trip to Beverly Hills or San Francisco. Those are the two cities home to the only official Pagani Huayra dealers in the U.S. The Auto Gallery of Beverly Hills and British Motor Cars of San...

Brushing the red line, grabbing top gear and clipping the apex, AllCarTech brings you our full review of the latest racing title to hit your PlayStation 3, Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed. Last week we brought you our first impressions of the EA Games and Slightly Mad Studios racer and with a few...

We called it: the Lexus LF-Gh hybrid is not, in fact, a GX hybrid SUV, as some would have had you believe. It's a look at the future styling direction of a GS-sized hybrid sedan. These are the first teaser images of the car. We may get some more glimpses at the car before its official unveiling...

Mopar, the aftermarket performance division of Chrysler, has its sights set on the Dodge Charger. Details are so sparse as to be non-existent, but we expect the 2011 Mopar Charger will consist of some performance accessories--perhaps a cold-air intake or stiffer suspension--and some styling...

It's not unusual for dealerships to mark up the sticker price on limited-production models, but a mark-up of more than 100 percent strikes us as a little daring. The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss Laguna Seca has a base MSRP of $47,990, but Mac Haik Ford, in Houston, Texas, is listing a silver example of...

Every so often, movie directors find themselves in a bind. Maybe their budgets get slashed. Maybe their scripts aren't quite as awesome as they first thought. Maybe they wake up and realize, "Holy crap, we cast VINCE VAUGHN." That's when they start scrambling, throwing everything they can at the...

General Motors is being clear about positioning of its upmarket Buick and Cadillac brands, explaining that Buick is designed more for drivers who want understated luxury whereas Cadillac is more about dynamic performance and style. Speaking with Automotive News, GM marketing chief Chris Perry...

Car companies draw inspiration from the strangest of places. The styling of the 2010 Nissan Cube was apparently inspired by the look of a bulldog in sunglasses, and the fins of many 1950s cars were a homage to the space race. However, we've not yet seen car technology inspired by a chocolate bar -...

The Underground Racing name has become synonymous with high-performance exotics, thanks mostly to the tuning firm’s special projects like this 250+ mph Lamborghini Gallardo and fire-breathing Murcielago LP670-4 SV. So it’s safe to say that the Underground Racing modified Lamborghini...

Just a few days ago at a special event in Munich BMW presented a lightweight M3 Sedan concept that came fitted with many of the hottest parts from the track-focused M3 GTS. And now, spotted just outside the Nurburging circuit in Germany, is this very mysterious M3 Sedan that looks very similar to...

Using bits of the environment for creative ad campaigns is nothing new, but it is certainly entertaining--or can be. Case in point: this ad for Hot Wheels from Bogota, Colombia, which to onlookers like a vertical loop has been placed in the freeway. A sign next to the loop, though not the first...

The Texas Mile saw its share of drama last month, but even without 200-plus-mph flips, there's a lot of action going on. Take this 234.6 mph run down the straight strip from the Evolution MotorSport EVT1500 997.1TT, for example. Looking every inch the stock 911 from the outside, apart from the...

The McLaren MP4-12C is slowly trickling its way to market, but one example has already met an unfortunate fate on Seattle streets. The details of the wreck are sketchy, but one witness reported that the car wound up facing the wrong way on the highway and that the rear passenger wheel took its...

When it debuted at last year's Paris Auto Show, the Audi Quattro Concept stood out among a crowd of great cars, but unfortunately it was then billed as little more than an homage to the past and a concept for future design. But now it looks like it may just see limited production. The green light...

The U.S. is getting the 2012 Audi A7 soon--the first deliveries are due later this month--and now we know the price: $59,025 plus $875 in destination charges for a base of $60,125. All U.S. models get their power from the 3.0-liter TFSI supercharged V-6 rated at 310 horsepower. That's not a bad...
