Audi is launching its all-new RS 5 Cabriolet just in time for spring, and we finally have the all-important pricing information. The stunning drop-top will set you back $77,900, which is $8,105 more than the price of the RS 5 coupe. For that money, you get the raw performance of the coupe but with...

We’re glad to report that the deliciously retro Lyonheart K sports car we first told you about in February of last year hasn’t turned out to be vaporware. The people at Lyonheart, a startup based in Coventry, England, have continued to develop their new sports car, whose lines were...

In the early years of the 20th century, electric cars were seen by many buyers as preferable to internal-combustion-engine automobiles. Electric cars were easier to start, more reliable and required far less maintenance than their fossil-fueled cousins, and their limited range was far less of an...

One of the standouts of the recent 2013 Geneva Motor Show was the Pininfarina Sergio speedster based on the running gear of a Ferrari 458 Spider. Unfortunately, the Sergio was built purely as a one-off showpiece honoring the late patriarch of the Italian design firm that shares his name. That may...

For anyone interested in a Corvette shooting brake, Callaway's AeroWagon conversion has a projected cost of less than $15,000.

Regarded by many as the purest of the Porsche 911s, the GT3 is something of a sacred cow to many. Here, we get a glimpse at the reason why. When it comes to race cars you can drive on the street, few come close to matching the overall package of the Porsche 911 GT3. The fifth generation of the car...

Henrik Fisker isn’t the only automotive executive who’s no longer in charge of the company that bears his name. As Autocar reports, Charles Morgan has been ousted as the managing director of the Morgan Motor Company, purveyor of timeless and quintessentially British roadsters and...

In case you’ve been living in a cave since 2002, devoid of all entertainment news, British actor Daniel Craig has replaced Pierce Brosnan as the new James Bond. We say that’s a good thing, especially since Craig manages to deliver a darker and far less politically-correct 007 than...

Finnish tire manufacturer Nokian Tyres has smashed its own ice-driving speed record set in March, 2011. The new record, an astonishing speed of 208.6 mph (335.7 kmh), was once again set by the firm’s test driver, Janne Laitinen, and beats the old record by 2.5 mph. Laitinen also used the same...

As far as road-going roofless track cars go, the KTM X-Bow is in a very exclusive class, kept company primarily by the Ariel Atom and the BAC Mono. While many of these are designed to be street legal, until now owners needed to use a helmet even when driving around town. KTM’s latest version...

Most manufacturer-produced automotive videos feature high-end cars in exotic locations, backed by either a classical, trance or techno music soundtrack. While that may be fine for most consumers, those of us with 5w30 in our veins much prefer to hear the engine’s song instead of canned...

A new company boasting 30 years of motorsport heritage has released the first image of a lightweight sports car it plans to unveil during the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK this July. The new company is Vuhl and its upcoming sports car is simply known as the 05. The car has been...

Alfa Romeo has already released a couple of videos featuring the new 4C sports car with its engine running, though it’s unclear how much of the exhaust note is from the original car versus what has been created inside a studio. This latest video shows the car on the street and features the...

The new B6 Venator sports car that appeared in concept form at this week’s 2013 Geneva Motor Show is just the first of a range of new and updated models from Dutch sports car manufacturer Spyker. With its failed attempt to revitalize Saab now well behind it, Spyker is returning to its roots...

“His job was simple: deliver a car. But in the desert, nothing is simple.” And with those catchy phrases, Jaguar manages (quite nicely, we might add) to suck you into Desire, an upcoming short film by Ridley Scott Associates that makes us want the 2014 Jaguar F-Type more than we already...

Luxury automaker Aston Martin continues to celebrate its centenary year in a grand manner: at the Geneva Motor Show, Aston Martin head Ulrich Bez stated that the brand would debut an ultra-exclusive CC100 roadster at this year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours. As Autocar reports, only two examples...

The first compact car to wear an AMG badge, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG, has finally made its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show this week. These live shots of the car confirm it’s just as good in person as it was when we first saw official photos back in February. The best part is that...

The 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C sports car has finally made its public debut in production trim, stunning audiences at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show where it is currently on display. However, the 4C shown in Geneva isn’t a regular model but a special ‘Launch Edition’ that will be built in a...
