  • 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport

    The idea of a super-sporty Lexus GS F, built after the model of the IS F but on the new 2013 Lexus GS platform, is nothing new--rumors have circulated for at least half a year now. But they may have more substance than previously thought. At the least, there appears to be strong support for the idea within Lexus, if not corporate parent Toyota. Speaking with Autocar, product planning head Karl Schlicht said he'd "love to see" a GS F built to rival the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Unfortunately, the necessary sign-off hasn't been given yet by Toyota's management, according to the report...

    There’s no shortage of custom Challenger SRT8s, as the muscle-car-with-mass has followers every bit as loyal and creative as Mustang and Camaro fans. We’ve seen plenty of high-horsepower Challengers and have even witnessed a few set up for road racing, which really isn’t the...

  • The 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

    Aston Martin debuted the thoroughly revised V8 Vantage at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. Though styling changes are few (new front and rear bumpers, with the front end also getting a new splitter and diffuser) the improvements beneath the skin are significant. Output of base V8 Vantage models has been increased to 430 horsepower and 361 pound-feet of torque, matching last year’s Vantage S. There’s a quicker steering ratio, bigger brakes, wider tires and an optional seven-speed Sportshift II gearbox to boast about as well. Aston Martin says the V8 Vantage is where...

  • Teaser sketch for Fisker Project Nina range-extended electric car

    Fisker has announced today that it will be providing a glimpse of its future at the upcoming 2012 New York Auto Show, and just to heat things up has also released this teaser image. No other details have been released though it’s widely expected that the teaser image is for Fisker’s follow-up to the Karma, the highly anticipated Project Nina. Project Nina is only a code name for the new model, which like the Karma will be a range-extended electric sedan. Unlike the Karma, however, Project Nina will be built in the U.S. and will be significantly more affordable, though it still...

    2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 550: First Drive

    The thing you have to remember, above all, is that the Mercedes-Benz SL isn't a sportscar. It may be a sporty car--even the "S-Class of sporty cars," as one of its creators calls it, but the SL's always been sort of the ultimate German counterpart to the Thunderbird. In the highest, best sense...

  • 2001 Audi A8 Avantissimo Concept

    Despite sales of its 5-Series Gran Turismo proving less than spectacular, BMW is so adamant that demand for upmarket MPVs will eventually take off that it’s planning two more additions in the coming years. One will be based on the latest 3-Series platform and will likely be called the 3-Series Gran Turismo, while the other will be based on a new front-wheel drive platform and could go by the name 1-Series Gran Turismo. It appears Audi may be itching to launch its own version, with Automobile reporting that the brand with the four rings is working on a high-roof, MPV-style model based on...
