Making its debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show this week is Bugatti’s latest model, the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. The stunning supercar is the result of combining the record-breaking Veyron Super Sport with the more lifestyle-oriented Veyron Grand Sport. And contrary to previous reports, the ultimate open-top Bugatti brings with it the full 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque of the Veyron Super Sport’s quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine. This results in a top speed of 255 mph, 13 mph short of the world speed record for a production car. The peak power is...

2013 Lexus RX 350 And RX 450h Preview
Lexus has introduced a major facelift for its 2013 RX range, which sees the top-selling crossovers adopt the aggressive look featured on the latest GS range and soon the ES. We already had a pretty good idea as to what the new 2013 RX will look like thanks to a previous inadvertent leak, but now...

We caught our first glimpse of the 2013 Audi A3 when images leaked onto the internet last month, but the model finally made its official debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The new A3 is instantly recognisable as an Audi - the deep, confident grille, LED-equipped lights and clean lines from nose to tail. At the same time, it's more aggressive and interesting than the previous A3, as befits a car riding on an all-new platform--the VW Group's Modular Transverse Matrix platform. Despite this, the car's dimensions are virtually identical to its predecessor, save for an extended wheelbase to...

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG Live Photos: 2012 Geneva Motor Show
Mercedes' new SL Class didn't get the warmest reception from the press as a whole, but we thought it looked pretty sharp. The AMG version, the 2013 SL 63, takes the new SL's look to a new level--and one that's even better suited to our tastes. While it has a good bit of the AMG flair, it's not over...

2012 BMW M6 Live Photos: 2012 Geneva Motor Show
While much of the rest of the BMW lineup is downsizing to turbocharged four-cylinders, the M6 is downsizing to a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8. Yes, the V10 is gone, but the new model's power figures are right where they need to be, and, perhaps more importantly, so is the look. We've already seen the...

Range Rover Evoque Convertible Live Photos: 2012 Geneva Motor Show
The idea of a convertible crossover isn't new--and it isn't even originally Range Rover's, but with the appearance of the Evoque Convertible Concept, it looks like it should have been. Combining the topless look with crossover utility in a way the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet couldn't, the Evoque...
