  • BMW 7-series M-Sport package leaked image

    Up until the end of last year BMW was in the process of developing a brand new performance car positioned above the current 7-series flagship and destined to enter the premium four-door coupe segment. Then the global economic crisis hit and on the back of weak financial results BMW decided not to risk the launch of such an expensive model. Instead, it will focus on its existing 7-series, in part with the M-Sport package unofficially revealed today. The planned flagship car, which was expected to wear an 8-series badge, had been conceived as a super sedan for the company and was to draw its...

    Lamborghini Super Trofeo hits the street in Germany

    As expensive and rare as Lamborghini cars are, they aren't an entirely exceptional sight on the road. But it's a rare occasion indeed to see a whole grid of fully race-prepped Gallardo LP560-4-derived Super Trofeo racers on the street - and that's exactly what's coming this weekend to Norisring...

    Tesla slashes production cost of Roadster, claims profitability within reach

    Despite its small size, Tesla Motor Company, builder of the famed Roadster electric sports car, is as embattled as any major manufacturer these days. Between a lawsuit from a former CEO and materials costs far beyond the asking price of the Roadster, things haven't been going well lately. But today...

    Saab 9-4X crossover on track for early 2010 launch

    All-wheel drive BMW 7-Series due later this year

    The later part of 2009 will see the introduction of AWD powertrains versions of BMW’s 7-Series, with the first models likely appearing after a debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September as 2010 models. The change is, for many, long overdue as the German competition has long offered AWD...

  • 2009 Hungarian GP grid

    A closely fought British GP at Silverstone today marked what possibly could be the last F1 race ever held at the famous circuit. Conditions were warm and in the end there was one clear winner. The toast of Silverstone last year, however, McLaren, continued its dismal season, which plummeted to new depths following today’s events. Sebastian Vettel is now 25 points behind Brawn's Button with nine races to go, after his and Mark Webber's Red Bulls were utterly dominant at Silverstone. "To be here today and to have a car which showed a clean pair of heels to everyone was very special," said...

    GM sees possibility for early exit from Chapter 11

    Much talk over the messiness of so-called 'surgical' bankruptcies has spun about the web, and before Chrysler and General Motors went into the process, there was a lot of doubt that they'd be out within the planned 60 days. But Chrysler is already working with Fiat and now GM sees itself possibly...

    McLaren boss says breakaway will quash F1 while Mosley appears unconcerned

    One way or another, it appears that the core teams of what has been Formula 1 for the past 50 years will be racing against each other next year.

    Mercedes updates the G-Class for 30th birthday

    Adding value to a successful design that's been essentially unchanged for 30 years might seem like an unecessary fix, but Mercedes has seen fit to add a few interior updates to its G-Class for its 30th year on the road. The updates include a new set of 'ergonomically optimized' front seats which...

  • 2012 Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe preview

    The switch in nomenclature from the CLK to the E-Class Coupe made a bit of a stir when word began to leak last year. And then last month the issue was broken back open when it was revealed that the new E-Class Coupe is actually based on the C-Class platform - much like its CLK predecessor. So what, then, of a true C-Class Coupe? Mercedes is already thought to be working on a new C-Class Cabrio dubbed the CLR, opening the door for a revised two-door C-Class hardtop, though the automaker could simply split the difference and fit a collapsible hardtop. The CLC is the current offering in that...

    Texas-based tuning firm Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE) has already announced plans for a highly modified 705hp (526kW) version of the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, which it plans to launch early next year, but if over 700 horses under your hood seems a bit extreme Hennessey also sells a...

    Ford working on Kuga Coupe?

    Reports are starting to fly that Ford may be working on a dramatic new segment-starter in the form of a three-door Kuga Coupe. Laying the groundwork for yet another segment of car design might not make sense in the current industry, however. A Kuga Coupe would take the coupe-profiled...

    Fornasari announces 610hp Racing Buggy for series production

    It's hard to pin down the qualities of the 'ultimate' vehicle, but the new Racing Buggy from Fornasari looks to be a fair attempt. Its design, however, is as extreme as its capabilities so it's sure to polarize. With 610hp on tap, routed through an AWD system with 60% rear bias and built around a...
