  • Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder

    While the sad tale of bankrupt automaker Saab may officially be over (for now, anyway), the damage caused by its long decline may still claim another victim. Spyker Cars (which used to be called Swedish Automobile when its holdings included Saab) has admitted its future remains uncertain if talks with potential investors prove fruitless. Spyker, which builds the C8 Aileron and C8 Aileron Spyder, has long been interested in attracting investors or buyers, and previous suitors included CPP Global Holdings and North Street Capital. Both have been silent in recent months, likely waiting to see...

    We have the latest spy images of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E Class Coupe facelift for your consideration, and from what we can see, the facelift will be minor.

  • Mercedes explains its Active Body Control
    Mercedes-Benz Explains Active Body Control: Video

    For decades, suspension tuning was a matter of compromise. The components and settings that delivered the best ride quality also returned sloppy handling as cornering forces got higher. Conversely, the setup that delivered the best handling usually delivered a harsh ride on all but glass-smooth...

    MINI And PUMA Partner On Clothing, Shoes And Accessories

    In today’s retail-driven world, vehicle manufacturers can make a significant amount of money selling branded goods like clothing and accessories. Ford, for example, makes an average of $1.5 billion per year selling swag, and it’s been said that Harley-Davidson makes more selling...

  • Mansory's Aventador Carbonado

    We’ll admit it: we haven’t always been fans of the vehicles produced by high-end tuning firm Mansory. Its rendition of the McLaren MP4-12C, for example, left us speechless and not in a good way. Its remake of the Lamborghini Aventador was better, but it still had far too much tacked-on carbon fiber to be what we’d call refined. While we have no doubt that Mansory can make cars go faster, its heavy-handed styling simply hasn’t appealed to our tastes. Until now, that is. Mansory has reworked the Lamborghini Aventador into a limited production model it’s calling the...

  • Top Gear USA preps for its second season
    2014 Range Rover Spied, Top Gear USA Returns, De Villota Crash Report: Car News Headlines

    The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover has been spied in testing, and it looks pretty sharp--though we're not entirely sure the proportions are working. The funky camouflage looks like an aftermarket paint job, though. Top Gear USA is on its way back next month, kicking off its third season on August 14...

    Audi Ponders Branching Out Into New Segments: Report

    In the gospel according to Audi, the traditional MPV is a “boring concept,” likely purchased out of resignation, not desire. The exception to this rule, according to Audi’s sales and marketing head, Peter Schwarzenbauer, is the Ford S-Max, which has reportedly attracted...

  • 2013 Lexus ES 300h

    The 2013 Lexus ES 350 and ES 300h don't arrive in dealerships until next month, but in preparation for the new, much-improved ES's arrival, Lexus has announced pricing of the two core models: the ES 350 starts from $36,100, plus $895 in destination fees, while the ES 300h starts from $38,850 plus fees. Those prices put the new ES 350 right on top of the Cadillac CTS, BMW 3-Series, and Mercedes-Benz C Class--though none of those alternatives offer hybrids in the same price range, and they're not exactly of a size with the ES, either. The Audi A6 manages to sneak in at just about $5,000 more...

    Audi Launching New 'Audi City' Retail Concept In London

    When it comes to shopping for a new car, the most enjoyable part of the whole process (for us, anyway) is the test drive. While most of us have learned how to do the dance with car salesmen, we wouldn’t really rate “personal contact” as one of our key reasons for visiting a...

    Next BMW 7-Series To Feature An M Model, Just Don't Call It An M7

    Mercedes-Benz has been selling AMG versions of its S Class quite successfully for the past several years, and soon Audi will launch a new generation of its potent S8, but BMW doesn’t have a similar performance-themed full-size sedan in its portfolio, and that doesn’t appear to be...

He was driving the bright red supercar on a road in Moscow, Russia, earlier this month when he allegedly lost control and careened into a roadside pole. The fact that the force of the...
