  • 2012 Chevrolet Code 130R Concept

    Is the Chevelle nameplate about to become familiar with a whole new generation? General Motors recently applied for a number of trademarks with the United States Patents and Trademarks Office, with all of them centering on the “Chevelle” name. The applications, first discovered by GM Authority, are for trivial items such as clothing, toys and floor mats, but one of them, Serial Number #85794159, is for exterior badges for vehicles. You may recall that General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] also recently applied for the “El Camino” and “Nomad” trademarks, though...

    Making its debut at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show in China this month is the 2014 Porsche Panamera, which represents the first major update to the sporty sedan since its original debut, also in Shanghai, four years ago. On initial glance, it doesn’t look like much has changed, as the 2014...

  • 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

    The most hardcore, track-focused version of the Camaro was just unveiled last week in New York, and we took some time to check it out and bring you our first-hand impressions. So is this the Camaro you'll really want? Maybe. It's going to be surprisingly hardcore. Many people will find it objectionably loud, stiff, and uncompromising. Others will find it just about perfect. We're probably going to be in the latter camp, as our own cars are often harsh, stiff, and loud. But we'll have to put it to the test to find out for sure. If you've forgotten, the key stats of the new Z/28: 7.0-liter LS7...

    Spyker Confirms The B6 Venator Is Production-Bound

    When Spyker showed its B6 Venator concept at this year’s Geneva Auto Show, it was easy to write off the shapely coupe as just another design exercise from a company struggling to find its niche (and even stay afloat in a changing market). The response to the B6 Venator, however, was...

    2013 Subaru WRX Concept: New York Auto Show Live Shots

    We’ll warn you in advance that the 2013 Subaru WRX Concept displayed at this week’s New York Auto Show may or may not be what the final product looks like. Subaru is hedging its bets, saying only that the show-stopping concept represents its “new design language” for the...

    Coinciding with this week’s festivities in New York is the 2013 Seoul Motor Show taking place in Korea, where the stunning new HND-9 coupe concept from Hyundai made its debut. After a brief preview last week, Hyundai has now revealed the full details for the HND-9, which the automaker has confirmed is a preview of a “next-generation luxury sports coupe.” While Hyundai didn’t go so far as to state that the next-generation coupe it’s referring to is in fact a new version of its Genesis Coupe, the styling of the HND-9 is expected to influence numerous models in...

    2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT Live Photos: 2013 New York Auto Show

    One of the meanest looking cars on show at the 2013 New York Auto Show this week is Jaguar’s 2014 XKR-S GT. Built by Jaguar’s special projects division, ETO, the XKR-S GT is essentially a race car that has been made street legal. Starting with an XKR-S, which is already no softy, the...

    Next-Gen Subaru WRX Previewed By New Concept

  • 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT

    Jaguar's ETO division, a little-known but intense group of specialty vehicle creators launched last year, has one-upped the XKR-S with this, the XKR-S GT. Track-tuned, but built for the street, this is likely the hottest version of the XK Coupe we'll see--at least in this generation. The ETO, or Engineered to Order, division has equipped the 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT with more than just some track-looking frippery; the car generates 320 pounds of down force with a carbon fiber front splitter, dive planes, extended wheel arch spats, rear wing, rear diffuser, and aluminum undertray. Power comes from...
