Rumors on the Internet abound, and many of them relate to as-yet-unreleased cars. File this one in the "we'll believe it when we see it" category, but it's interesting enough to repeat: the 2012 Nissan GT-R could get some significant new features, including rear-wheel-drive only mode. Hidden under...

These images purport to be the first look at the 2012 Nissan GT-R as it gets ready for its 2011 rollout in Japan. The additions for 2012 appear to be solely cosmetic, though with the GT-R's already impressive performance, there's not much need for more speed. Starting at the front end, the...

Ever since the E92 BMW M3 was first revealed at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, true BMW enthusiasts have been intrigued but still longing for the CSL to make its return. Standing for Coupe, Sport, Lightweight, those three letters name the purest driver and most track-focused cars BMW has to offer...

Almost a year ago, we brought you word that GM insiders were anxious to see a return to fast, small cars, including a possible Chevrolet Cruze SS. Today we have more word that the push for performance compacts is alive and well, and once again the Cruze is the focal point. It's a natural choice for...

The setting: GM's Milford Proving Grounds test track. The players: former F1 pilot turned NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya and a Corvette ZR1. The result: lots of fast driving, some opposite lock, and a few backhanded compliments. While Montoya does have a lot of good to say about America's...

Coming straight out of a two-hour stint in the Ferrari 458 Italia and jumping into just about anything else, you expect to be...underwhelmed. Not so with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Though it takes a very different route, the big-engined baby Aston is, in its own way, even better. Take Aston...

Hints from executives, rumors, and outright denials have circulated the web for over a year now, and still we're no closer to knowing for certain if a sub-Boxster model is on its way. With the recent appointment of Matthias Muller to the CEO position at Porsche, however, the new entry-level Porsche...

  Man With Steering Wheel: ...And this, of course, is the steering wheel. Jay Leno: Ordinarily, that's connected to the car, right? MWSW: Ach! You Americans. Such kopfschmerzen you give me. How do you put up with it, Arnold? Arnold Schwarzenegger: ...Huh? MWSW: I asked how you put up with all the...

The limit protects the car's tires, though the rest of the vehicle's specs will be identical to the record-setting car.

Reports of a supercharged Lotus Evora date back more than a year and finally the car has been spotted, testing in prototype form near the Nurburgring circuit in Germany. The new model is expected to come onto the market in the first half of next year as the 2011 Lotus Evora S and will be easily...

The new additions to the Panamera range mean even more performance and style are available--for a price.

The new 2012 Boss Laguna Seca celebrates Parnelli Jones' 1970 victory.

If you happen to have read our First Drive Review, you know we think the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V is way fun from behind the wheel. And if you watched the footage from behind the wheel as we took a 2011 CTS-V Coupe around Monticello Motor Club's track (ignore the driver's grimaces, please), you'll have...

Last week, we told you how much fun the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is from behind the wheel in our First Drive Review. Now, we can show you. This video was shot from inside a CTS-V Coupe we took around the very technical track at Monticello Motor Club, a racetrack that's normally only open to...

It's not often that a manufacturer has the courage to turn dozens of auto journalists loose on a racetrack with pricey copies of its new, 556-horsepower performance coupe. So we were eager to get behind the wheel of the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and find out whether it was as much fun as the CTS-V...

The Boss is back. And no, we're not talking about Bruce Springsteen or Tony Danza. There's a 302 involved, which takes us back to a completely different boss: the original, championship-winning Parnelli Jones 1970 Trans Am car.

Infiniti is heading down the road already strafed by the likes of BMW's M division, Mercedes-Benz' AMG sub-brand, and Audi's S and RS offspring, with a new performance badge dubbed IPL. The Infiniti Performance Line bows today in Pebble Beach, California, where the luxury brand is gathering with...

There are three things we know for sure: 1. Life sucks. 2. That dude from Jet Blue completely staged his exit (which is not to say it wasn't awesome, though it pales in comparison to Wendy O. Williams' jump from a moving bus). 3. Tila Tequila is the love child of Anna Nicole Smith and Imelda...

The latest classically-styled car from Morgan will come this August.

The potent Audi TT RS is selling up a storm in Europe but ask Audi when it will arrive in the U.S. and the only answer you will likely receive is that it’s still under consideration. Given the halo status of the hotted-up Coupe and Roadster, Audi would be foolish to ignore the U.S. market but...
