We reported just this month that customers in the U.S. were holding off on buying the Nissan GT-R in the lead up to the arrival of the facelifted 2012 model, which has been trickling into showrooms this past few weeks. It now appears the wait for the new GT-R will be slightly longer as the recent...

It may not have had the mega-dollar pricetag of some of the other vehicles on show at the recent 2011 Geneva Motor Show, but the funky Fiat 500 Coupe Zagato was certainly one of the coolest cars unveiled. Built by legendary Italian design house Zagato, the makers of other specials like the Alfa...

You won’t be able to actually buy one until 2012 at the earliest but to keep your interest piqued the guys at Maranello have launched a new configurator for the latest Ferrari FF supercar. Like most online configurators, the new setup for the Ferrari FF allows you to deck out the car with...

Pure form meets pure function: the James Glickenhaus-backed Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5 Competizione combines the aesthetics of the original custom P4/5 with the ravenous track-eating ability of an endurance racer as it prepares for its outing at the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring this June. This video...

Sad news out of McKinney, Texas: One person is dead and four injured after two late-model Mustangs that appeared to be racing were involved in a crash with a street-sweeper. According to police reports, both Mustangs (one a 1999 model, the other a 2003) collided with the street-sweeper, killing one...

Yes, it's still another nine months until the season of giving (and receiving!), and another year on top of that until the Mono might come our way, but consider the BAC Mono at the top of our lists as of today. Offered by Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) the Mono is a single-seater, 280-horsepower...

The 2012 BMW 650i convertible has been rumbling around for a little while now, with its sleek lines, 400-horsepower 4.4-liter V-8 and drop top making headlines around the world. Funny thing is, BMW did the whole 6 Series intro a little backwards. Usually, you'll see the coupe before the...

Progress is a funny thing. For example, in the 80s Porsche introduced the 959, a special, limited edition supercar that was the embodiment of everything that Porsche knew how to do. It was blisteringly fast, all-wheel drive, with a water-cooled and turbocharged flat-six that put out 444 horsepower...

Synonymous with British motorsports for decades, Jaguar has unveiled its new road-going XKR-S, the hottest version of its aging XK platform to date. It's certainly an attractive offering if you're into the Jag coupe, but it has some rather unexpected options--including colors called French Racing...

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class has been spawning rumors for well over a year now, including talk of a 320-horsepower AMG variant. But today, we may have a first peek at what the car will look like. Unfortunately the A-Class still isn't planned for our streets. Unfortunately, that is, if you're into...

Cut-and-Shoot, Texas. A name like that just screams "Lone Star State." And if you don't pay attention to your speed while traveling through Cut-and-Shoot--and especially if you don't pay attention to a blacked-out Camaro with a Transformers logo on the hood--you might be screaming about a speeding...

You're in your new Ferrari California, cruising through town on a sunny Beverly Hills day when all of a sudden, there's a bus trying to occupy the same space as you. Your day just went from great to completely awful. That's exactly the story of this unlucky California owner, and the video below...

Online price configurators are nothing new at Ford, which uses them to allow consumers to build and price their potential new-car purchase before heading to the showroom. Earlier this month, Ford updated its online configurator to include the 2012 Mustang. The upcoming 2012 Boss, however, was...

We haven't heard much from Jewel in a while, and many of us were beginning to think that she might've headed off to a retirement Vanagon somewhere in Alaska, bringing her chapter in American pop music (and her brief footnote in American poetry) to an end. But now we know that Jewel is still alive...

The new 2012 BMW 6-Series is going on sale this year in both Convertible and Coupe bodystyles, the latter of which has been revealed here today in our latest mega-gallery with included official video footage. The svelte new two-door is expected to make its official world debut next month at the...

You only have to look at the popularity of such cars as the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST/RS to understand that there is serious money in the hot-hatch segment. Not surprisingly, Kia is now reportedly considering launching its own hot hatch based on the recently revealed 2012 Kia Rio...

If you thought the sound of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 supercar’s V-12 engine was a little limp wristed in this previous video, just wait until you hear its menacing growl upon start up in the video below. Captured as it was being delivered to an exclusive dealership in Berlin...

The Saab 9-3 is in desperate need of a makeover, with the current model first coming onto the market in its earliest iteration back in 2002. Over the years there have been some minor updates to the car but while its competitors have all passed through their successive generations, the Saab 9-3 is...

We first heard about the De Macross GT1 project in August of last year, back when the car was still in the concept phase with only a quarter-scale model to show off its design. Since then, Canada’s De Macross Motors Corp (DMMC) has managed to build up a working prototype and will soon be...

Ron Dennis is certainly no stranger to driving. The former boss of McLaren’s F1 team and now head of its road-going division is certainly one person you would think would not have to worry about not being able to drive. However, 63-year old Dennis will have to be chauffeured around--or...
