  • Wreckage of exotic cars destroyed by fire at Thai auction site (Image via Wrecked Exotics)

    It pains us to bring you news that a trio of exotic cars—a Bentley Flying Spur, Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Murcielago—were destroyed recently by fire. The vehicles were on a transport truck along with a BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo. According to Wrecked Exotics, the BMW caught on fire first but by the time the truck driver found out about the fire—he was alerted by a passing driver—the other cars on board had succumbed to the flames. Fortunately nobody was injured. This photo shows the wreckage of the cars at an auction site in Bangkok, Thailand. It’s likely some...

  • 2015 Dodge Charger SRT spy shots

    This is the first look at the upcoming 2015 Dodge Charger SRT, and it may even be the one that will hold the HEMI Hellcat engine. Based on the redesigned 2015 Dodge Charger sedan, the SRT model should sport—at the least—a 6.4-liter HEMI engine good for 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, just like the 2015 Challenger SRT. But if the Charger gets the HEMI Hellcat engine as well, its 6.2-liter supercharged arsenal of 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque should come with it--again, just like the Challenger SRT Hellcat Beyond the powertrain, however, the 2015 Charger...

    Turbo BMW E30 Screams Up Pikes Peak: Video

    This 1987 BMW E30, fully prepped and boosted, is fierce little machine. The restrained fury with which it attacks Pikes Peak is even fiercer.

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG

    The big luxury automakers have been engaged in a power war for decades now. Jaguar gave its 1990s XJR 370 horsepower so BMW made a 400-horse M5. Merc and Audi went better than that so BMW made a 500-hp M5. Since then we've seen forays well into the 500s and more, and now the same battle is happening in the world of four-cylinder motors. Mercedes-Benz kicked off the latest craze with the A45 and CLA45 AMG—all two liters and 355 horsepower of it. It's the world's most powerful four-cylinder production engine, but it didn't take long for Volkswagen to respond, with rumors of a production...

  • 2015 Chrysler 300 facelift spy shots

    These are the first spy shots of a facelifted version of the Chrysler 300 due out later this year, as a 2015 model. Being a mid-cycle update (the current 300 was all-new for 2011), the updates to the car aren’t extensive though they should help the big and boxy sedan fit in with a raft of incoming Chrysler models featuring the brand’s sleek new look that debuted on the 2015 200. As the spy shots confirm, the 2015 300 will be receiving new bumpers and rectangular-shaped exhaust tips similar to those fitted to the 200. The headlights also appear to feature a revised design, and...
