  • 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C

    Alfa Romeo has already released a couple of videos featuring the new 4C sports car with its engine running, though it’s unclear how much of the exhaust note is from the original car versus what has been created inside a studio. This latest video shows the car on the street and features the sound you’re likely to hear when seeing the 4C in person. It was taken by the guys at OmniAuto prior to the 4C’s debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show last week. For the most part, the car is only idling, but in the few instances when the driver presses the pedal the exhaust note of the...

    KTM X-Bow To Adopt Audi TT RS Five-Cylinder Engine: Report

    A new, more livable version of KTM’s hardcore X-Bow track car made its debut last week at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Called the X-Bow GT, the latest model from the Austrian motorcycle expert comes with a windshield, doors and removable soft-top roof designed to enable drivers to use the...

    B6 Venator Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg For Spyker

    The new B6 Venator sports car that appeared in concept form at this week’s 2013 Geneva Motor Show is just the first of a range of new and updated models from Dutch sports car manufacturer Spyker. With its failed attempt to revitalize Saab now well behind it, Spyker is returning to its roots...

  • The Jaguar F-Type stars in 'Desire'
    Jaguar Releases The Full Trailer For Desire: Video

    “His job was simple: deliver a car. But in the desert, nothing is simple.” And with those catchy phrases, Jaguar manages (quite nicely, we might add) to suck you into Desire, an upcoming short film by Ridley Scott Associates that makes us want the 2014 Jaguar F-Type more than we already...

    Aston Martin CC100 And Hydrogen-Powered Rapide To Debut This Year

  • 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition

    The 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C sports car has finally made its public debut in production trim, stunning audiences at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show where it is currently on display. However, the 4C shown in Geneva isn’t a regular model but a special ‘Launch Edition’ that will be built in a limited run of just 1,000 cars of which half will be heading to North America later this year. The 4C Launch Edition will sell in Europe for 60,000 euros (approximately $78,000), which suggests that pricing in the U.S. could start around the $60k mark. That may be steeper than originally expected but...

    Tesla's Appeal Lawsuit Against The BBC Dismissed

    Tesla, it seems, can’t catch a break in the media in 2013. First, The New York Times published a less-than-stellar review of the Model S, criticizing the car’s range in cold weather. Tesla Motors’ [NSDQ:TSLA] CEO, Elon Musk, was quick to respond with data that contradicted The New...

  • 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, 2013 Geneva Motor Show
    2014 Porsche 911 GT3 Live From Geneva: Photos & Video

    Some will decry the latest 991-based Porsche 911 GT3 as "not a real GT3" because of its PDK transmission, electric power steering, and increasingly tech-driven handling. But for those interested in absolute lap times, all of this "purist" moaning is just that--moaning. Porsche's engineers are no...

  • Spyker B6 Venator concept car

    It’s been a while since Spyker launched a new model under its own brand. After all, its current--and only--model, the C8 Aileron, can trace its roots back to the C8 Spyder launched in 2000. Over the years, the Dutch sports car manufacturer has tried to branch out into more profitable areas, taking over Swedish automaker Saab, which eventually went bankrupt and saw Spyker lose close to $210 million, and recently it announced plans to build a range of luxury models with Chinese automaker Youngman. At one point, Spyker almost offloaded its sports car business, but luckily for it, and its...

  • 2013 Geneva Motor Show

    On the auto show circuit, the annual event in the Swiss city of Geneva isn’t exactly known for being a place where mainstream automakers present their wares, and a quick perusal of this year’s list of debuts, which includes more than 130 world firsts, shows exactly why. The Geneva Motor Show tends to be neutral territory for supercar manufacturers and the ultra-luxury brands to present their latest and greatest, and this year’s show is set to be one of the biggest in the event’s 108-year history. In less than a fortnight we will be treated to new flagship supercars...

The B6 Concept will sport what appears to be a compact, curvaceous...

    2013 Alpina B3 Revealed Ahead Of Geneva Debut

    Alpina has a history of making BMW models go faster, with perhaps a bit more focus on luxury and a bit less emphasis on motorsports than BMW’s M Division. Though the only current Alpina model sold on these shores is the BMW 7-Series-based B7, the brand builds and sells a variety of models in...

The recall affects 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera 4 models from the 2012 and 2013 model years, but only those built from March 7, 2012, through...
