  • 2012 Lexus IS F

    The Lexus IS F currently sits atop the Japanese luxury brand’s performance offerings, giving buyers an alternative to the likes of the BMW M3 and the Mercedes C63 AMG. Even if you’re not a fan of Lexus, it’s hard not to be impressed with the IS F’s 416-horsepower 5.0-liter V-8, mated to an impressively quick eight-speed automatic gearbox. The chassis is more than capable, too, and we’d call the IS F a remarkably easy car to drive fast. Given that Lexus is trying to reshape its image as a sportier brand, we’re surprised to hear a rumor, started by USA Today...

  • Tesla Model X at 2013 Detroit Auto Show
    Production Of Tesla Model X Delayed

    Despite the recent bad press (and potential financial impact) generated by a negative Tesla Model S review in The New York Times, the electric automaker released some good news in its latest SEC filing. As the Los Angeles Times reports, Tesla has committed to paying back its Department of Energy...

    Mercedes Celebrates 50 Years Of The Pagoda-Roof SL At Amelia Island: Video

    This year’s Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance marked the 50th anniversary of some legendary cars, including the Chevrolet Corvette and the Porsche 911. It also celebrated the 50th anniversary of automaker Lamborghini, but (nearly) lost in the crowd was another milestone birthday...

    A. Kahn Design Works Over The Lamborghini Aventador

    While the Lamborghini Aventador is one of the most stunning supercars currently in production, anyone who’s ever had the privilege to sit inside one of these beauties may have felt the cabin didn’t exhibit quite the same level of drama as the exterior. While the sharp angles, fine...

  • 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid

    Infiniti's recent announcement of its renaming scheme to all Q-prefixed models may still be confusing for some, but the first of the renamed crossovers, the 2014 QX60 (once known as the JX), should help straighten things out. It's coming to the New York Auto Show--as a hybrid. Joining the QX80 (formerly known as the QX56) and the QX70 (a.k.a. the FX range), the 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid promises 26 mpg combined city/highway averages in the familiar look and packaging of the JX crossover. The QX60 Hybrid is the third hybrid model built or announced by Infiniti, joining the currently available...

  • 2013 Lincoln MKS Livery
    Realizing Its Folly, Lincoln Unveils MKS Livery Sedan

    While Lincoln hasn’t had a commanding position in any of the luxury segments for quite a few years now, there was one area where it dominated, and that was in the livery market. Lincoln’s Town Car, which was also available as a stretch limousine, was one of the most popular choices in...

    LaFerrari Already Racks Up More Than A Thousand Requests

    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...

  • A hydraulic tool cuts apart the Tesla Model S
    Tesla Model S Meets The Jaws Of Life: Video

    For decades, accident scene first responders had set protocols for removing victims trapped in the wreckage of an automobile. Whether the car was built by Kia or by Hummer, cutting off the roof was generally a matter of slicing through the A-pillars, followed by the B and C-pillars. We’re...

  • 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...

  • Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Royale Homage

    All Bugattis are equal, but some are more equal than others. That’s certainly true for the special edition versions the automaker has been rolling out at auto shows around the globe. The latest are a trio of Veyron Grand Sport convertibles that appeared at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, two of which are based on the 1,200-horsepower Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. Like most Bugatti special editions, the focus here is on heritage and paint jobs. You won’t see any power upgrades, but we doubt anyone finds the standard cars lacking in this department. Of the three new special editions, the...

  • Pagani Huayra, 2013 Geneva Motor Show
    Pagani Formally Announces Sonus faber Partnership

    The Pagani Huayra supercar is without doubt a work of art, in addition to being one of the best performing cars on the planet. However, until now the car had one key flaw, at least it did in the eyes of Pagani founder and chief designer Horacio Pagani. That flaw was the car’s audio system...

  • Robert Downey Jr., as Tony Stark, drives the Audi R8 e-tron - image: Audi

    If you’ve seen either of the first two Iron Man movies, you probably lust for Tony Stark’s car collection as much as we do. The fictional billionaire playboy (reportedly patterned after Tesla CEO Elon Musk) has a serious passion for all things fast, but seems to prefer Audi models for daily-driver duty. Expect to see more of the same when Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3. As Audi tells us, the brand will once again be featured throughout the film, with perhaps a bit more tact than Mercedes-Benz displayed in the latest “Die Hard” film. In the words of Loren Angelo...

    Ferrari And Apple Expand Their Relationship
