You've seen it plowing through snow and rocketing through dusty dunes, but now you get to see it on display live from Geneva. The 2012 Ferrari FF, the Prancing Horse's first all-wheel drive car, looks fantastic in its shooting brake glory. With 651 horsepower from its 6.2-liter V-12 engine and 504...

Silently cruising in a seemingly impregnable fortress of fine leather, sensuous wood and hand-built steel and glass is the ultimate goal of the hyper-luxury automakers like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, so it's not surprising at all that an all-electric Rolls-Royce Phantom was trotted out in front of...

Aston Martin surprised us all by announcing the new 2012 Aston Martin Virage--and Virage Volante drop-top--but the car is here, revealed in full at today at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Sitting between the DBS and DB9, the Virage comes powered by Aston Martin's familiar 6.0-liter V-12 engine, rated...

Jaguar may be celebrating 50 years of its iconic E-Type at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show but that hasn’t stopped the automaker from rolling out a very special version of its equally stunning XKR. Of course, we’re talking about the new 2012 Jaguar XKR-S, which has been billed...

Last month we saw four-time Finnish rally champ Juha Kankkunen break the ice speed record on the surface of the frozen Baltic Sea using a Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible. His fastest time was a neck-snapping 205.48 mph, and in honor of that feat Bentley is building a limited edition...

After an absurd week of leaks and broken embargoes, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is officially here. Replacing the Murcielago as the flagship Lambo, the Aventador represents the pinnacle of the company's design and construction capabilities. Its performance stats reflect that. All-wheel drive...

It’s hard to imagine that one of the best looking Maybachs on the road today isn’t actually a Maybach but a custom mega-coupe designed and engineered by the guys at Germany’s Xenatec. Using a donor Maybach 57S as their blank canvas, Xenatec engineers convert the four-door sedan to...

Aston Martin’s engine lineup is currently limited to a range of bespoke V-8 and V-12 powerplants, developing upwards of 750 horsepower in some applications. However, just a few years ago the niche British automaker was selling cars fitted with more mundane six-cylinder engines. Such an engine...

The annual Geneva Motor Show has always held a special place on the calendar for German tuner Brabus, with previous shows being graced but such outrageous feats of tuning like this trio of modified SUVs back in 2009 and this custom Mercedes-McLaren SLR Roadster in 2008. At this year’s Geneva...

Wagon fans, rejoice: all is not lost, at least not at Saab. Even as other carmakers kill off or write off their wagon models for the U.S., the 9-5 SportCombi is making new waves. It will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Based on the same gear, available in the same trim levels, and...

Saab's split from GM has just passed one year, and to celebrate the brand's independence, as well as the 25th anniversary of the first Saab convertible, the brand is launching a limited-edition 2012 9-3 Convertible called the Independence Edition. Available only in Amber Orange metallic exterior...

Replacing the current Sport Sedan, SportCombi, Convertible, and 9-3X, the new 2012 Saab 9-3 Griffin range (still available in all of the familiar body styles) features updated engines, freshened exteriors, and upgraded interiors. The new 9-3 Griffin will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor...

Infiniti bills the M Hybrid as the only car in America to offer 350 horsepower in combination with a...

Purists bemoan Porsche's rapid expansion into non-traditional segments, while buyers eat the cars up with ravenous glee. It's a no-brainer for the people looking to make Porsche into the strongest, most profitable company they can, and CEO Matthias Mueller is at the head of the charge. His plan? To...

Billed as the "most potent series production" Jaguar ever, the XKR-S is staged for a debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The XKR-S leverages a 542-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine to rocket to a top speed of 186 mph, hitting 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and 100 mph in 8.6 seconds along the way. If...

The best non-news of the day comes from Buick: the 2011 Buick Regal Turbo is flex-fuel capable, meaning it can run on either E85 or gasoline. We're not terribly excited (E85 still isn't all that common in most places), but we are looking forward to the first pure ethanol tune. The E85 capability...

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is no stranger to diesel power, though the last we saw it here in the U.S. was in 2008. Unlike the previous Daimler-sourced unit, the next diesel in the Jeep Grand Cherokee will be built by VM Motori. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll be getting it here in the U.S...

Lexus has announced pricing for its new 2011 model year IS 350C F Sport Special Edition, which comes adorned with several custom features and accessories and is on sale now.

While it’s been reported that BMW was working on a hybrid version of its popular 3-Series for the next-generation of the car, until now we haven’t had much tangible evidence to suggest those reports were in fact true. That’s because we have some new spy shots of a prototype for...
