Supercharged C7 Corvette Z06/ZR1 Engine Spied?The new Chevrolet Corvette is a pretty amazing machine. It offers a whole lot of performance for relatively short money.

Ford’s Focus ST is only into its second model year, but a mild update is just around the corner, as evidenced by these latest spy shots of a prototype at the Nürburgring. The update to the Focus ST coincides with a similar update planned for the regular Focus, which has been on sale slightly longer here in the U.S. and even longer overseas, where the car is well overdue for a mid-cycle update. Since the Focus ST is relatively new and its performance competitive in the hot hatch segment, we’re unlikely to see any changes to the car’s mechanicals. The current setup is a...

Save The Manuals, Save The Environment: Corvette Stingray Auto Is Less EfficientThe 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray holds the honor of being the only car on the market with more than 455 horsepower and a 29 mpg highway EPA gas mileage rating.

French automaker Peugeot has been slowly expanding its lineup of performance cars over the past couple of years, most recently with the 270-horsepower RCZ R coupe and before that with the 208 GTI. At the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show last month, Peugeot unveiled a high-performance concept car based on its Golf-rivaling 308 hatchback. The concept was called the 308 R and it featured the same 270-horsepower four-cylinder engine as the aforementioned RCZ R. A high-performance 308 variant has already been spotted testing, though the prototypes don’t appear anywhere near as extreme as the carbon...

First Customer-Owned Corvette Stingray Runs 12.23 @ 114.88--Bone Stock: VideoHennessey Performance Engineering does many things we envy, from the Venom GT to its ridiculous/awesome CTS-Vs.
