  • 2010 Renault DeZir Concept

    Last year, former Mazda design chief Laurens van den Acker, an influential player behind the Japanese automaker’s Nagare and nature-themed designs of late, jumped ship and headed over to the top design post at French automaker Renault. He has since been assigned the task of injecting new ideas and revolutionizing the design of Renault’s future models, and for van den Acker this means more emotional styling. Previewing his new look is the 2010 Renault DeZir Concept, which is the first of a series of new concepts and will be making its debut at this September’s 2010 Paris Auto Show. The...

    Pay-As-You-Drive May Be The Future Of Traffic Management

    There's generally nothing stopping me from getting in my car, turning the key, and hitting the road on a daily basis. There's no toll booth at the end of my driveway. I don't keep track of my miles like I keep track of my cellphone minutes. As long as my gas tank is full, I can drive as far, and as...

    2011 Volvo V60 Wagon Makes Debut

    Volvo recently dropped the V70 wagon from its U.S. lineup, replacing it with a front-wheel drive version of the formerly all-wheel drive only XC70, but with any luck the Swedish automaker may bring over its all-new and ultra-stylish V60 wagon to fill the gap. Based on the recently revealed 2011...

    Report: Infiniti Working On New Front-Wheel Drive Coupe

    The growing push towards smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles is leading the charge for changing consumer perceptions of what defines a luxury car--with size no longer the differentiator but rather technology, quality and design. Nowhere is this more the case than in Europe where Infiniti is...

  • The Glide Track Bike Concept

    As the title would suggest, the blog you're looking at is all about future cars. I can't get enough news about the latest technology, spy photos, and far-fetched concepts. Even so, I'm a gadget geek, and I frequently come across non-car goodies that grab my attention. As far as I'm concerned, anything transportation related is fair game. Today, that item happens to be "The Glide", a track bike concept created by designer Michael Shrewbury. Not only does it look really cool, it's intelligent too. The concept is built around a custom nano-carbon frame, presumably focused on good strength to...

    Blind Drivers in 2011: Sound Scary?

  • David Coulthard tests the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell prototype

    We've seen the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell prototype, and we've heard Mercedes' promises that an all-electric version of the car will be on the road by 2013, but until now, we haven't had a good baseline on what to expect behind the wheel. David Coulthard solves that in this video. Sure, he's a paid Mercedes DTM factory driver, and therefore somewhat incentivized to like the car from the outset, but the natural expressions captured in the footage are harder to sponsor. And from the look of things, he's pretty well impressed--though like any dyed-in-the-wool racing driver, he's a bit...

Before us...

    236-MPH Sportec SPR1R Based On The Porsche 911 Turbo

    Swiss tuner Sportec has announced details of its latest incarnation, based on the Porsche 911 Turbo.

  • 2011 TranStar Racing Dagger GT Supercar

    The word ‘supercar’ is bandied around a lot these days but every so often a car, with numbers you couldn’t even imagine were possible, comes around, restoring your faith in the zenith of automotive mastery. Take the Dagger GT Supercar by TranStar Racing. The vehicle is being specially designed, very deliberately and explicitly, to break all world records and to bring back the most popular class of race car: the unlimited class which has been regulated, restricted and compromised into extinction. For example, it will deliver up to 2,000 horsepower and 2,000 pound-feet of torque from a...
