The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray turned out to be the star of last week’s 2013 Detroit Auto Show, with almost all that saw it agreeing the design team at General Motors did a great job. Now that the new Corvette’s auto show debut is over, fans all across the country, including many...

Kia has released the first images of a sporty new concept car the automaker is planning to debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle is described as a “racy new urban concept” and features the latest evolution of Kia’s tiger-nose front-end design. It's also clearly a coupe...

From the same company that brought us the world’s first diesel-electric hybrid, comes a new concept that does away with the electric component of hybrid cars and replaces it with compressed air instead. That company is French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen, which at its recent Innovation Day...

You saw the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG make its debut recently at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, in both sedan and wagon bodystyles, and with standard 4Matic and a new S-Model trim. But now see it take to a race track, where it finally has a chance to stretch its legs. This video shows both sedan...

The Aston Martin Rapide S has just landed, though it won't reach our shores until next month at the earliest. The long-rumored Rapide S delivers on several fronts, and gains the title of Aston's most powerful four-door to date. Rated at 550 horsepower, the Rapide S is 17 percent stronger than the...

Painting a Koenigsegg Agera R is no simple task; in fact, Koenigsegg claims the polishing process alone requires some 200 hours of labor, which is the equivalent of a single employee working for five weeks just on paint finishing. That kind of attention to detail is to be expected when building a...

We already have a pretty good idea as to what the new 2014 Audi A3 Sedan will look like, thanks to the reveal of a string of concept versions over the past year as well as the overseas launch of the car’s hatchback cousins. Now, however, we have our second look at the production A3 Sedan...

While it may seem like an unlikely occurrence, cars traveling in the wrong direction of traffic is becoming more and more prevalent. Just last year for example, even we reported on two such occurrences, one taking place in Mississippi and the other in Washington. Back in 2009 Nissan developed a...

The 2013 Bentley Mulsanne has been even further enhanced with new Comfort and Entertainment Specification packages.

Say what you may about plug-in electric cars, the 2014 Cadillac ELR unveiled at last week's Detroit Auto Show is a stunning piece of design. The four-seat range-extended electric luxury coupe is little changed from the Cadillac Converj show car that debuted four years ago at the 2009 Detroit show...

The 12-hour race at Sebring is one of the most historic--and most daunting--of endurance racing challenges offered on the North American continent, and not just because of the duration or the track. The competition, especially in the LMP1 division of American Le Mans Series racing, is tough. The...

Updated with input from John Hennessey himself. The Hennessey Venom GT has just entered the record books for being the fastest accelerating production vehicle to 186.411 mph (300 kilometers per hour), needing just 13.63 seconds to achieve the feat or about 1 second less than a Bugatti Veyron Super...

Just as the 2013 World Rally Championship kicks off, with newcomer Volkswagen already achieving some success, Hyundai has made some announcements about its campaign plans for 2014. It’s only been a few months since the Korean automaker confirmed its return to international motorsport, but now...

Porsche is well on its way to achieving its goal of 200,000 sales by 2018, having set a new record for sales in 2012 and edging closer to the launch of several all-new models. Porsche has reported worldwide sales of 141,075 units for 2012, an increase of 18.7 percent on 2011’s record tally of...

By the late 1970s, Porsche’s 935 was arguably the most dominant car in sports car racing. Competitors feared it, since getting by one on the track bordered on the impossible. Drivers respected it, since it was utterly unforgiving when driven at the limit. While the 935’s turbocharged...

Compact luxury crossovers are the new darlings of the automotive industry, as they give buyers the amenities they expect while delivering improved fuel economy (compared to their larger siblings) for their respective manufacturers. Land Rover has its Range Rover Evoque, BMW has its X1 and Audi will...

While Hyundai was quick to point out that the HCD-14 Genesis Concept isn't a preview of the next Genesis sedan--despite the name--it's clear that the Detroit show concept is intended to preview the future of the brand's styling for its premium sedan. The HCD-14 itself is rather impractically styled...

Volvos have a long-standing reputation as safe, practical and somewhat boring cars, with the possible exception of the old Volvo Turbo wagons. Sure, the S60 T6 R-Design sedan does what it can to liven things up, but its turbocharged 3.0-liter in-line six only puts out 325 horsepower, to all four...

While it was certainly outshone by the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and even the Ford F-150 Atlas Concept, the 2014 Acura MDX Prototype garnered a notable share of the attention at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. That's remarkable considering the big-name unveilings it was up against, and it...
