Today in Car News

Bugatti has taken the wraps off yet another special version of the Grand Sport, this time called the Vitesse. At 1,200 horsepower, wrapped into a slick-looking roadster form, it's certainly not something we'd kick out of our garage. A Porsche engineer has predicted the death of the manual...

It's been a busy weekend, and continues to be for those lucky enough to make this a three-day. At the top of the news rolls we have our first drive review of the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, in both turbo-four and six-cylinder flavors. Which do we prefer? Find out in the link below. We've spied the...

Michael Bay said Transformers 3 was the last part of the trilogy, he lied. Yesterday it was made official that Transformers 4 will debut on the big screen on June 29, 2014. While no script has been written yet, we hear the current cast from the past three movies will not be making it for the...

We all knew it was coming, but we thought it would be called the Cajun. Porsche decided to surprise us all and has named its upcoming baby SUV the Macan. Porsche says the crossover will be arriving in early 2014. Tesla has raised over $40 million in with advance sales of the new Model X electric...

A new teaser for the Volvo V40 is out today, looking rather compact and hatchback-like in a sunburst photo. The V40 is back after a hiatus of eight years, to replace the V50--which originally replaced the V40 in 2004. Expect the full details on the V40 to come at the Geneva Motor Show next month...

The Chicago Auto Show continues today, but there hasn't been a whole lot to get excited about. Fortunately, there are lots of other things happening around the web. Aston Martin's V12 Zagato finally reaches its production version, though it still looks a whole lot like the concept--which is a very...

Fisker, the startup company behind the Karma hybrid luxury sedan and the upcoming Nina electric car, has been forced to stop work on its new plant because of failure to meet milestones required by the Department of Energy in its loan contract. The 2013 Cadillac ATS continues to impress with a new...

The pricing, photos, and a new video of the 2013 BMW X5 M have been released, and while the changes are subtle, it's still one mean beast of an SUV. Volkswagen has whipped the sheets off the Beetle TDI ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, and the oil-burner is surprisingly efficient--though perhaps not...

The new Mercedes-Benz A-Class has been spotted without any camouflage ahead of its upcoming debut, and it looks pretty slick for a little hatchback. What do you think? The Fiat 500L, the "L" meaning large, or at least larger, has made its first showing on the web ahead of its Geneva unveiling. It...

A BMW X5 driven by a person trying to avoid the "stop sticks" thrown across the road by police swerved and unded up on a bed in a nearby bedroom--with the homeowner pinned between the bed and the SUV. Crazy. The 2013 BMW 4-Series Coupe has been spied on video--and yes, it looks a whole lot like a...

BMW has unleashed a new set of triple-turbo, diesel-powered M Performance cars on the world--but not on the U.S. There are no plans to bring them here, and we are green with oily envy. A Pagani Zonda F has crashed in Hong Kong, and it's really not pretty. It was before, though. A tale of stupidity...

Toyota is getting back into Le Mans, but it's doing it with a hybrid, the TS030 HYBRID. It looks mean, sounds great on-track, and has a serious factory effort behind it--but will it be enough to win? In more oval-shaped racing, the 2013 Ford Fusion has been unveiled in 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup trim...

If you're a fan of the Camaro, muscle cars, sports cars, or America, you're probably going to love the 2012 Camaro ZL1. We did. The Supreme Court ruled that GPS tracking cars without warrants is unconstitutional. The next generation of the Corvette is still about 18-20 months away, but the first...

Today at Motor Authority, Chrysler reached a Pentastar milestone and BMW shows off the 2012 M3 DTM Safety Car. Saab isn't completely dead yet, and we drove the 2012 Fisker Karma. All this and more in today's car news, right here on Motor Authority. Sadly, a Lexus LFA has been crashed. MINI reveals...

Today we have some unfortunate news: the first of the new F10-generation BMW M5s has been crashed in the Netherlands. It's not that bad a crash, but it's a sign of things to come, we expect. Transitioning from bad to interesting is Chris Bangle's new book, and the design contest built around it...

Today we have an ultra-rare--and stunning--Jaguar XJ220S up for sale, news of Mercedes-Benz's B-Class range-extended electric vehicle plans for the U.S., and a Cobra crash that's one wild ridBe, with a surprisingly un-deadly outcome for the driver. Catch all of this and more in the day's headlines...

The GT-86 isn't even on sale yet, but already Toyota is churning out the special editions, starting with the TRD (Toyota Racing Development) version coming to the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon. Speaking of racing, NASCAR is heating up the pavement at Daytona in its pre-season testing. The second trailer...

The Detroit Auto Show has dominated the automotive airwaves for the past two days, bringing some of the best concepts and production cars we've seen in a year, including confirmation of an upcoming EcoBoost-powered Ford Mustang. Now that the press days are over, however, attention is shifting...

Today we take a look at a relatively new sim racing game, Simraceway, the only sim to have a real-world training facility. We'll be brining you more details on the sim, the unique steering wheel, and the real-world training, but for now, get a good overview with our first drive review. Jeep has...

Today we all continue our preparations for the Detroit Auto Show, with perhaps the most impressive detail yet revealed being the 2013 Dodge Dart's claim of 40 mpg combined. That's a significant number for a non-hybrid, and not just for the Fiat-Chrysler merger. In non-show news, we just got back...
