The 2012 Ferrari FF is not just the company's new flagship. Nor is it just the most unusually styled Ferrari in, well, maybe ever. It's also the first all-wheel drive Ferrari thanks to the company's new 4RM system. Furthermore, it's Ferrari's own design, one that it says saves weight and complexity...

When Aston Martin previewed the rebirth of the Lagonda brand with an ungainly SUV concept at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, no one was optimistic about its success. Aston took the criticism to heart, but plans to go ahead with the brand's comeback, according to the latest from Dr. Ulrich Bez...

Buoyed by the success of its diesel A3 hatch and Q7 SUV, Audi has confirmed the introduction of several more fuel efficient diesel models for the U.S., finally satisfying the desire of Europhiles and environmentally conscious luxury buyers all across the country.

There’s a strong chance that if you can afford to buy a Maybach then you may need the protection of an armored car, whether it be for your own personal safety or your family’s. Thankfully, Daimler’s armored car division, simply named Guard and based in Sindelfingen, Germany, has...

It’s safe to say that 2010 was a bumper year for Audi. With a total of 1,092,411 sales under its belt, Audi managed to draw in a record $49.2 billion in revenue which resulted in a profit after tax of $3.6 billion. The same year also saw Audi break its annual vehicle sales record in the U.S...

The new 2012 Buick Verano was first revealed with GM’s familiar Ecotec 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission and delivering a reasonable--albeit a little underwhelming--177 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. Since that initial reveal of the car...

If you're one of the many longing for a redesign of Jaguar's aging XK platform, wait no longer: the Growler E, Vizualtech's latest re-interpretation of the E-Type, will be built, in very small numbers, according to a new report. Just a handful will ever be built, as each car is expected to take six...

Priced at a whopping 260,000 euros (or about $360,000 US) the Ferrari FF might not strike you as a quick seller, but you'd be wrong. All 800 of the first-year production run have sold in pre-orders. Likewise, the $370,000 Lamborghini Aventador has already pre-sold its first year run as well. The...

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK still may be the least honed, least intense of the trio of pricey German roadsters, but it's ripened over its 15 years and three generations. New for 2012, the latest SLK has pretty much steamrolled over any trace of its dainty past and hot-paved it with real...

Lamborghini has gone to great lengths to improve the weight and structural rigidity of its new Aventador LP700-4. The latest supercar is not only a powerful brute but it’s also technology-driven, and one standout feature is its extensive use of carbon fiber. In fact, the central structure of...

It’s on display this week at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show but our man Marty Padgett is in the Canary Islands taking part in an exclusive first frive event of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK. While his report will be live in just a few days, we have this flood of images of the svelte new...

As we reported earlier, Saab is working on a new telematics and infotainment system for its future cars called Saab IQon. The new system, previewed this week in Saab’s striking PhoeniX concept, is essentially a new car communications platform based on Google’s Android operating system...

This week's 2011 Geneva motor show turned the Swiss town's Palexpo hall into a virtual exotic-car warehouse, stuffed with Aventadors and Ferrari FFs and the usual microbrew blend of Rinspeeds, Gumperts and Paganis. At the Mercedes-Benz stand, rubbing elbows with its frenemies next door at BMW...

We've known for many months that the Hyundai Equus would get an iPad (perhaps even an iPad 2 now that the release of that model is looming) in the glove box, pre-loaded with the owner's manual and an app to handle service and other customer interaction. Today, Hyundai released a little detail about...

Bentley has rolled out a limited edition model based on its already low production Continental Supersports Convertible and has used this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show to present it. The new model, which will be built in a limited run of just 100 cars, is called the Bentley Continental...

A couple of weeks ago, we made the case that the 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid is the best value in the performance/luxury hybrid game, despite its $95,900 starting price. We stand by that analysis, as the new Panamera S Hybrid even manages to look good--as good as any Panamera, anyway--in the...

Full details on the 2011 Audi RS3 have been out for months now, including its brawny yet compact 340-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine, but today in Geneva, we got a good look at the car in person. It looks, well, hot, as a true hot hatch--even super-hatch--should. At a...

Packing the beauty of Alfa's 8C Competizione into a much smaller package, the itty-bitty Alfa Romeo 4C Concept is 200 horsepower of 1.75-liter turbo four-cylinder goodness wrapped in mid-engine KTM X-Bow handling with a frothy Italian topping. We want it. Fortunately, Alfa is going to build it for...

A performance car that's small, yet luxurious, may sound like a series of paradoxes to the American buyer's mind, but Europeans have been proving the combo possible for years. Soon, the Japanese may join them, as previewed by the Infiniti Etherea Concept. The live photos show off its arched...
