Tesla announced Tuesday that its increased battery capacity for its Model S and Model X meant the car could go farther, faster than ever before. The response from several industry analysts shortly after sunk faster than a lead balloon. “A clear and realistic path to profitability and...

It may have been William Faulkner who once said--and we're paraphrasing--"The horsepower wars aren't even dead; they're not even past." Or maybe not Faulkner. Maybe us? In any case, Hellcats are still rolling, Ford's working on a new Shelby GT500 with ridiculous horsepower, and Chevrolet's about to...

The Tesla Model S and Model X are already among the quickest vehicles on the planet, and now they just became even quicker. Company CEO Elon Musk announced a new 100 kwh battery pack option that gives us the new P100D Model S and Model X. Both feature more range, now over 300 miles, and quicker...

Buried deep within the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo is an engineering "no-duh." Talk to anyone with a cursory knowledge of the widowmaker from Stuttgart and they'll say the old Turbo 911s required three feet in any given corner: one for the brake, one for the clutch, another to feed the throttle so...

Bentley coupes, sedans, and, yes, even SUVs could have some refreshed styling on the outside in the coming years thanks to a management shakeup. The high-end British luxury car maker has appointed John Paul Gregory as its new Head of Exterior Design. He's been with the brand for more than eight...

I'm not sure if you're aware, but Jeremy Clarkson was fired from his job with the BBC. He worked for a show you might've heard of called Top Gear. There was a fracas. There was an apology.

What's more than ludicrous speed? Apparently, it's the new Tesla Model S P100D, announced today by company CEO Elon Musk. Capable of sprinting from a complete stop to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, the Model S 100D isn't the fastest accelerating car ever, but it is darn close. It's surpassed only by...

The more the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo talks, the more it sounds like the end. In many ways, it's coarse and gruff—the way a 911 Turbo should sound. Noise from the turbochargers force-feeding a 3.8-liter flat-6 to within an inch of its life howl through the straights, rear tires wail from...

Every August, Monterey, California becomes the mecca for car enthusiasts around the world for what is known as car week— the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and every car collector worth his or her salt was there with a vehicle or five plucked from their garage. Not to be outdone, of...

Just when you thought 8- and 9-speed automatic transmissions were ridiculous, Ford and GM announced a 10-speed. Like a late-night infomercial would say: but wait, there's more! Honda recently patented an 11-speed, triple clutch transmission. Filed with the Japanese patent office, it's unclear what...

A patent filing has revealed that Honda is apparently hard at work on (or at least thinking about) a transmission that would pack an insane level of technology: 11 forward gears and three clutches all packaged together in one gearbox. AutoGuide stumbled across the filing posted to the Japanese...

The head of Lamborghini's research and development says the Lamborghini Centenario, a car developed to celebrate Ferruccio Lamborghini's 100th birthday in April, would have surprised the car company's namesake. “Our jobs, in our imagination, is to develop a car that would surprise Ferruccio...
