I have to assume that Dodge expected the world to kneel at the feet of the all-new Viper when it was launched in 2013. That hasn't happened, and sales have been rather sluggish. They've been so sluggish, in fact, that Dodge has decided to drop the price way down for the 2015 model year. The 2015...

Lotus has appointed Russell Carr its new head of design, a man who has been with the firm since 1990 and whose most notable design is probably that of the Evora sports car. Carr replaces Donato Coco, a former Ferrari designer that has been running the studio in Hethel since 2009. It’s not...

Audi was a pioneer in the area of autonomous car technology but the automaker has been overtaken by rival Mercedes-Benz in the race to offer cars that can drive themselves. That won’t be the case for long as Audi’s next-generation A8, due on the market in 2017, as a 2018 model, will be...

Daimler has sold its remaining 4 percent stake in Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA], bringing an end to an investment that dates back to 2009 when Daimler first acquired 10 percent of the Californian startup. The sale will result in a cash inflow of approximately $780 million for Daimler’s coffers...

The steering wheel in your basic race car is just that; it's a simple, lightweight, possibly suede-covered instrument used to tell the front wheels of the vehicle where to go. As you advance up the race car ladder, however, a steering wheel begins to be much more than a simple directional tool. It...

Mercedes-Benz will use the Concord Naval Weapons Station in California to replicate an urban environment.

One of the first test mules for Volkswagen’s third-generation Touareg has been spotted. The new SUV is expected on the market in the second half of 2017, as a 2018 model, and will once again be twinned by Porsche’s Cayenne. Following on the heels of yesterday’s M4 DTM Champion...

A father and son are suing Ferrari and Facebook after losing control of their fan pages.

After stunning us with its custom De Tomaso Pantera at last year’s SEMA show, and a NASCAR V-8-powered Ford Mustang before that, Ring Brothers is back to stun us at 2014’s SEMA with a 980-horsepower Chevrolet Chevelle. The Wisconsin-based tuner is calling the car the Ring Brothers...

Mercedes-Benz is working on an extra, extra-long version of its S-Class sedan that is expected to carry the Pullman title and have the highest price tag of any sedan anywhere in the world. While the car is still some time away, a German firm by the name of Binz will happily build you today a...

After all, McLaren only offered 375 build slots for its P1 and Ferrari only offered 499...

Dodge is currently in the midst or reigniting some serious automotive lust thanks to its latest bit of high-horsepower lovelies. Not everyone is going to opt (or need) the 707-horsepower Hellcat variants of the Charger and the Challenger, however, and that's where the less potent but still...

The 2015 Ford Mustang should be hitting dealer lots all around the country throughout the month of October.
