  • Harold Martin V1000 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

    It used to be that cracking the 500 horsepower mark was an epic achievement in the world of tuner cars built for the street. Now there’s no shortage of tuning firms willing to build anyone with the money--and the cajones--cars capable of developing up to and exceeding 1,000 horsepower. Just yesterday we saw a 1,026 horsepower upgrade for the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 from Hennessey, and before that we saw Underground Racing unveil a wild kit for the Audi R8. Now Harold Martin Motorsports has announced that it will be bringing its new Martin V1000 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe to next...

    In standard trim the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, at least going on the official figures released thus far as the vehicle is still not on sale, is already shaping up to be a very capable muscle car. We’d go so far as to say that it’s even encroaching on supercar territory thanks to its...

  • 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport by Five Axis

    If you thought the styling of Lexus’ own 2013 GS 350 F Sport was a bit too timid, you certainly won’t feel the same after taking a gander at this Five Axis enhanced model, which makes its debut next week at the 2011 SEMA show in Las Vegas. The guys at Five Axis have really done a number on the GS 350 F Sport, adding an overly aggressive front bumper that’s matched by a pair of sporty side sills and integrated rear diffuser. Overall, the look is more GS F than F Sport, meaning we hope some Lexus designers are taking note. But it’s not just about looks as the Five Axis...
