  • Aston Martin Rapide S

    The Aston Martin Rapide S has just landed, though it won't reach our shores until next month at the earliest. The long-rumored Rapide S delivers on several fronts, and gains the title of Aston's most powerful four-door to date. Rated at 550 horsepower, the Rapide S is 17 percent stronger than the existing Rapide, which uses a 470-horsepower version of the 6.0-liter V-12 found in both cars. Peak power in the Rapide S arrives at 6,750 rpm, meaning it'll require a bit more wringing out than the 6,000-rpm peak of the standard Rapide. Torque grows as well, though not as much, to 457 pound-feet...

    2014 Audi A3 Sedan Spy Shots

    We already have a pretty good idea as to what the new 2014 Audi A3 Sedan will look like, thanks to the reveal of a string of concept versions over the past year as well as the overseas launch of the car’s hatchback cousins. Now, however, we have our second look at the production A3 Sedan...

  • Kate Upton and the Mercedes-Benz CLA car wash for the 2013 Super Bowl ad
    Mercedes CLA, Kate Upton, & The Super Bowl: What Is Going On Here?

    We're not immune to the err…charms…of Kate Upton, but at the same time, we can't really figure out how she became famous. Regardless, here she is tricking some guys in football jerseys into washing a new Mercedes-Benz CLA Class. Presumably it's hers. The video is a new Super Bowl ad...

    Porsche Sales Soar To New High In 2012

  • 2014 Acura MDX Prototype

    While it was certainly outshone by the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and even the Ford F-150 Atlas Concept, the 2014 Acura MDX Prototype garnered a notable share of the attention at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. That's remarkable considering the big-name unveilings it was up against, and it perhaps speaks well to Acura's future success with its redesigned full-size crossover. Sporting what Acura calls "Aero Sculpture" design language, the MDX's proportions remain fairly close to the last-generation model, though in every details, and in many of the more important statistics, it's definitely...

  • Teaser for new Rolls-Royce Wraith

    Rolls-Royce has announced it's bringing a new model to the 2013 Geneva Motor Show taking place in early March. The new model will be called the Rolls-Royce Wraith, a name we haven't seen since the Silver Wraith ended production in 1959. While no other details about the Wraith have been revealed, apart from it being the most powerful and dynamic car ever launched by the illustrious British automaker, we know the car is the long-awaited coupe version of the top-selling Rolls-Royce Ghost. Prototypes of a large coupe with obvious Rolls-Royce styling cues have been spotted testing all over Europe...

    2014 Porsche 918 Spyder Spy Shots

    The world is changing, especially the automotive world, and hybrids are on the rise. Few will rise as high as the Porsche 918 Spyder, however: it's a 700-plus-horsepower supercar as well as a plug-in hybrid. These spy shots occupy a somewhat odd place in the hierarchy of cars caught in testing, as...

    Aston Martin's Centenary Party Was Bonkers: Video

    If you had any doubt that Aston Martin's over-the-top cars were a direct reflection of the brand itself, all you need to do is watch the party it threw for its 100th birthday. British and classy it may be, but this is no dusty old geezer. Held in Dubai, the Aston Martin centenary celebration...

    The first of Mercedes-Benz’s new generation of compact cars to reach the U.S., the 2014 CLA Class four-door coupe, made its debut this week at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show ahead of its sales launch later this year where it will wear a $30k pricetag. A new video plus our own live photos of the latest addition to the Mercedes lineup confirm what we already knew; the CLA will be one of the most stylish cars in the compact segment. The front of the CLA Class is almost identical to the latest A Class hatchback launched overseas, while the body gets four-door coupe styling that makes it...

    VL Automotive Destino Live Photos: 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    Teething problems of its plug-in hybrid drivetrain aside, it’s likely that we can all agree on one thing: the Fisker Karma is a good-looking car. Its design may not be breathtaking, but its tastefully-penned lines will likely look as good in ten years as they do today. “If only,”...
