Following the appointment of Max Wolff as the head of its design team, Lincoln has now hired another Australian designer, Peter Jones, who will serve as a manager of the luxury division’s interior design team. Unlike Wolff, who previously worked as a designer for GM subsidiaries Holden and...

When the exported-from-Detroit 2013 Maserati Kubang goes on sale, it will become the very first Maserati model to carry a diesel engine. At least one V-8 gasoline engine will be offered as well, as that’s what most buyers will expect to see (and hear) beneath the hood. As Maserati’s...

The Lexus GX SUV, first introduced in 2003, has always been marketed as a luxury SUV but is based on the rugged body-on-frame platform underpinning more serious off-roaders like the Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser. Despite this, the vehicle has enjoyed a reasonable level of sales and in 2010 spawned...

As Lamborghini looks to expand into new markets, the automaker’s one-make racing series, the Blancpain Super Trofeo, has hosted its first race outside of Europe. The inaugural race took place this past weekend at Sepang International Circuit, home of the Malaysian Grand Prix, where...

A Ferrari FF caught on fire earlier this week while it was being driven down a highway near the Polish city of Krakow. This is believed to be the third time that a FF has caught on the fire, with the previous reported incident taking place on a highway in China back in February and the first during...

The idea of a Lexus GS Coupe, based on the 2013 GS Sedan, have been brewing since before the new GS made its debut at Pebble Beach last year. Now new rumors say it's coming, next year, and it could be wearing GS F badges. While the idea seems simple enough--a two-door, four-seat version of the GS...

Being a Formula One driver means having every moment of every day during racing season spelled out for you. In addition to constant physical training, there’s testing in simulators (and occasionally on track, FAI rules permitting), debriefings, and the ever-present sponsor appearances. For...

If there’s an automaker with a more diverse business portfolio than Lotus, we’d be hard pressed to name it. Not only does Lotus build cars, but the firm also consults on engineering projects, fronts a Formula One team, builds (sadly non-competitive) engines for the IndyCar series and...

Last Friday, Tesla opened its first new retail outlet of 2012 in New York’s affluent Westchester County. Tesla Westchester will boast a Model S Design Studio, a hands-on a Model S drivetrain and an interactive display touting the benefits of going electric. There are also four Model S Betas...

Remember that Aston Martin DB9 / DBS successor we’ve been telling you about for the past two years or so? The one that’s been repeatedly spotted in camouflage, until we brought you some clearer spy shots last week? Aston Martin picked last weekend’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa...

The long weekend wasn't only about remembering our veterans and soldiers: there was a lot of racing going on, too. Dario Franchitti poured the milk over his head at the end of the 96th Indianapolis 500. It was a busy race with 34 lead changes among 10 drivers and several hard crashes and the...

BMW opted to unveil its latest design concept, the BMW Zagato Coupe, at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Equal parts sculpture and automotive engineering, the Zagato Coupe has already been high speed tested by the Bavarian automaker. It’s doubtful that the car will ever see...

The number of working Aston Martin One-77 supercars in existence has now dropped from an original 77 cars to 76 following a crash that took place this past week in Hong Kong. This sole image, found on Weibo, shows that the wreckage inflicted on the $1.9-million supercar was quite severe, suggesting...

Volkswagen is in the process of expanding its lineup with some stylish new models falling under its performance-themed 'R-Line' range. The latest is the R-Line version of the recently-updated 2013 Volkswagen CC, which is making its official world debut on June 1 at the 2012 Leipzig Auto Show in...

If you haven't read our first drive review of the 2013 Cadillac XTS, do it now, and take that knowledge with you as you build your own XTS with the newly-launched configurator. Starting from $44,995, the XTS isn't exactly affordable for many, but it's a far cry from priced out of competition with...

We drive the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG--with video--and find it to retain its boxy, off-road charm and its fearsome power, as well as its ridonkulousness. The 2013 BMW 7-Series is coming soon, and it's packing a new set of powertrains, some new technology, and some new looks. Check it out. And...

In Early February we first brought you details about an alleged plan from French automaker Renault concerning the launch of a new high-end model that would borrow technology from Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes, as we’ve known for a while now, has formed an alliance with Renault and Nissan, and...

Updates to the 2013 BMW 7-Series are numerous and include a completely new powertrain for the eco-friendly ActiveHybrid 7.

The BMW 3-Series sedan, like many of us, has picked up a few additional pounds and inches over the years. Since its launch in 1975, the BMW 3-Series has grown by over 10.5-inches in length, over 8-inches in width and nearly 2-inches in height. That makes the current 3-Series larger than the E28...

No respectable dictionary would define a neologism like "ridonkulous" just yet. And even if they did, they probably wouldn't do it with a picture of a Mercedes SUV blowing through a water trap like it had lost all common sense and all ability to tread lightly on anything, whether it be terra firma...
