  • Ferrari California

    Ferrari will be addressing criticisms that its California convertible is just a little too soft by adopting a sharper and more focused design for the car’s replacement. The California has just undergone a mid-cycle update, receiving slightly more power and a new handling package, so its replacement is still a couple of years away from launch. However, Car and Driver has managed to pick up a few of the new car’s details. The big news is that the new car will feature a twin-turbocharged V-8. This new engine, which is being developed by Ferrari for use in the California replacement...

    2015 Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG Spy Shots

    Talk of a new sports car built along the lines of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG dates back several years and has yet to lead to any tangible evidence that such a car is even in the works. At least, that was until today. One of our spy photographers has managed to scoop a test mule for this new sports...

  • 2012 Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition, offered by RK Motors

    If you’re looking to buy a 2012 Camaro ZL1 or a 2013 Ford Shelby GT500, RK Motors in Charlotte, North Carolina probably won’t be able to help you much. On the other hand, if you’re looking to buy an immaculately-restored 1969 Camaro Z/28, or an original Shelby GT350 Mustang, RK Motors may be worth visiting. RK makes its living by restoring and reselling classic and collector cars, but that doesn’t mean its inventory is restricted to decades-old models. In fact, RK Motors is currently offering a 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition for sale, 1 of just 50 built...

  • An F16 closes on a Lamborghini Aventador

    The appeal of running exotic supercars against military aircraft never seems to get stale, and in recent years we’ve seen the Spyker F1, the Bugatti Veyron and the Lamborghini Reventon throw down against various fighter aircraft. We've even seen Top Gear USA pit a Dodge Viper against an attack helicopter, though not in an outright drag race. The net result is usually this: the supercar is much quicker off the line, and quicker down much of the airport runway. As a fighter jet builds speed and gains lift, however, the ultimate nod generally goes to the fighter aircraft. Despite the...

This latest prototype features all the Audi RS trademarks including wider wheel arches, bigger wheels and brakes, and two oval-shaped exhaust tips at the back.
