  • BMW 328 gearbox in reproduction

    BMW announced today that it will build 55 examples of a reproduction gearbox for the iconic BMW 328. There aren't many applications for a modern-day copy of a 75-year old gearbox from a BMW 328. There aren't even very many BMW 328s; only 464 were built over its run from 1936-1940. BMW is offering the 55 gearboxes mostly for the benefit of the vintage racing crowd. The new (old) gearbox is now being produced through a collaboration between BMW Classic and ZF. ZF, appropriately enough, purchased a division of the original gearbox manufacturer for the 328, Hurth, in the 1990s. Reproduced from a...

    The Tesla Model S, is, despite the company's somewhat questionable practices, a brilliant car. It also happens to be electric. It's also quite in demand. So what to do now that your Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] Roadster has been superceded as the coolest production EV around? Trade it in! That's right, Tesla Motors will buy back your Roadster, giving you the cash you need to turn around and buy a Model S. How much will you get for your Roadster? That depends on its condition and equipment, of course, but Tesla is seeking to resell the cars for $70,000 to $90,000, so you can likely expect something like...

  • FAB1 pink Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase

    You may find the color of this Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase a bit distressing, but there's a good reason for the particular hue applied to this car. The car was painted this way to help foster support for breast cancer care. It was commissioned by FAB1, an organization headed by British broadcaster Chris Evans and which aims to raise funds for breast cancer care. However, the paint finish is only part of the scheme. The one-off Ghost will be used as a hire car in the UK over the next 12 months, with all proceeds from the hire service being donated. The car will also make appearances...

    2014 Jaguar F-Type first drive review

    What defines a sports car? Is it an arbitrary set of numbers--weight limits, 0-60 mph times, lateral g forces? Or is it something more emotional, something that can't easily be quantified? I tend to think it's the latter, and the 2014 Jaguar F-Type presents a convincing case in support of that...

  • 2013 Porsche 911 RSR race car

    Porsche’s new 911 RSR race car based on the seventh generation of the 911 narrowly missed out on a podium spot this past weekend during its first race outing, the 2013 World Endurance Championship season opener at the Silverstone circuit. A Porsche 911 RSR driven by works members Marc Lieb, Richard Lietz and Romain Dumas finished fourth in the GTE-pro class, which is an impressive achievement considering this was the car’s competition debut. The overall winner was the Audi R18 e-tron quattro in the LMP1 class, while first place in the GTE-pro class went to Aston Martin and its...
