You have likely seen pictures and heard of the Karma, being developed by Fisker Automotive in California. It's an exciting example of the plug-in electric hybrid vehicle's (PEHV) potential in the near future. Last month, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that it would loan the company $528.7...

Last year, Heidi Montag gave her new husband, whatshisname, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. And for some reason the world cared. Apparently the guy still owns it, because behind the link we see la Montag perched against its hood in a near life-like pose, in so far as any 23-year-old who's undergone at...

America’s very own F1 team, the much-hyped USF1, may be out of the picture but that doesn’t mean motorsport’s top echelon won’t have a place here in the U.S. Indianapolis hosted its last US GP back in 2007, and North America eventually slipped off the calendar altogether with the demise of...

Available with a screaming 5.2-liter V-10 engine with 525 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque on tap, the all-new 2011 Audi R8 Spyder is easily one of the most desirable drop-tops on the planet, so it’s only natural that meticulous care will be taken when building it. Production of the...

Not surprisingly, standards for fuel efficiency will continue to increase for automotive (and soon truck) manufacturers.  President Obama has shared some more of his vision for a future with reduced tailpipe emissions.  This type of information is critical to auto makers, who will be forced to...

Here are some surprising things: ♦ Ken Paves and Victoria Beckham are not the same person. See 'em at the link below? There they are, sitting in traffic, side by side. It's apparently just a coincidence of plastic surgery that they have the same face. ♦ They both exist in daylight...

A replacement for the Lamborghini Murcielago is just around the corner, in fact near-complete prototypes for the new car can be seen here, but that doesn’t mean nobody is looking at the aging Murcie anymore. On sale since 2001, it wasn’t until now that a potential safety flaw was detected and a...

Italdesign-Giugiaro, based in Turin, is one of the most legendary automotive design houses in Italy and the company behind such icons as the original Volkswagen Golf, Audi 80, Lancia Delta and even the Hyundai Pony. The design house has had close links with Volkswagen since its founding back in...

Low-volume British carmaker Radical is known for its potent track machines, such as the SR8 roadster, which can lap the Nurburgring in under seven minutes. Despite the recent global economic crisis, business has been booming because of the high-performance but low-budget nature of its cars, and now...

Somewhere in the Midwestern part of Germany lays a fearsome race track called the Nurburgring, a place where almost every car manufacturer from around the world tests its new cars, mostly prototypes, to the limit. It’s safe to say that the Nordschleife part of the track is the benchmark in car...

Four-door coupes seem to be all the rage these days. With Mercedes-Benz preparing a new generation of its CLS and the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera winning praise all around the world, we now have a look at a potential design for an Audi four-door that looks much more sports car than...

Despite Japan being one of the biggest automobile markets in the world, both for production and consumption, there were fears that the country’s prestigious Tokyo Motor Show could be canceled last year due to a lack of interest from most non-Japanese automakers. While the show did go on, although...

Audi is making it even easier to access the interwebs wirelessly with the updated 2011 A8 sedan.  Although others, like Ford, have made this available as a dealer installed option, Audi will be the first to offer it straight from the factory.  A8 owners will now be able to access all of their...

The 2011 BMW X3 is expected to debut late next year as a 2011 model.

The car looks like it might get away with some minor repair work.

We've seen her slithering from a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, we've seen her putting gas into a complete stranger's Ford Expedition, and elsewhere on the interweb, we've watched her scoot about town in various states of undress. But until today, our favorite photo of Paris Hilton was the one of her...

Despite the arrival of the new car-based 2011 Ford Explorer next year, Ford remains committed to its relatively new Flex ‘wagon-meets-crossover’. Both models are similar in size, are likely to share the same powertrains and will almost certainly be priced around the same, but both have a secure...

Porsche is serious about the development of its hybrid technology, which for now is limited to its new Cayenne SUV and 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car. One day, however, we could be seeing the ‘green’ technology filter across more models within the German sports car company’s lineup. Before that...

Thought Hennessey’s LS9-packing 700 horsepower HPE700 was as extreme as Camaro tuning got? Think again because the Texan tuner is at it again and now offering mega 1,000 horsepower upgrades for the Chevy pony car. Called the HPE1000, the heart of Hennessey's latest kit is a 7.0-liter LSX V-8...
