The Dodge Viper died a quick and ignominious death shortly after Fiat partnered with Chrysler, though even then there was talk that the car would be revived for 2012. Now a report from Autoblog says Sergio Marchionne showed the 2012 Viper at a dealer meeting this week. There are essentially no...

We first heard about the Arash AF10 more than three years ago when an early prototype was rolled out at the 2006 London Motor Show. Since then the company behind the original prototype has undergone several management reshuffles and spin-offs, but it has now confirmed the final design for its...

We've been tracking the above-average tendency of the Ferrari 458 Italia to burst into flame or smash into immovable objects since its debut, but finally Ferrari has stepped in to admit there's something wrong with the car. Turns out the flaw is relatively minor, though the results can be...

Love it or loathe it but Aston Martin’s Cygnet luxury minicar based on the Toyota iQ is here to stay. For whatever reasons Aston Martin deemed it necessary to build such a model, be it emissions regulations, demand from brand loyalists for an urban commuter, or a desperate grab for new...

Another supercar project is brewing up north; the De Macross GT1, which is being developed by Canada’s De Macross Motors Corp (DMMC) and is set to go on sale next year. You may recall that we reported on fellow Canadian supercar project, HTT’s Plèthore LC-750 last year, and now...

Bawdy, brawny, occasionally bizarre, Brabus is one of the most famed Mercedes-Benz tuners on earth. The 2011 Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG lives up to the rep. The parts kit reads like the production schedul for a midsize carbon fiber factory, and they're all available in either clear coated or...

Yesterday we brought you news of McLaren's plan to parade the 2012 MP4-12C supercar through its North American dealerships to drum up interest, and today we have the official word on pricing. The newest McLaren supercar will start between $225,000 and $250,000. McLaren hasn't gotten more specific...

We wish someone were making this up. Maybe then we could explain how so many examples of the still new 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia have been damaged in such a short space of time. If you haven’t been counting, the tally already stands at 10 in the past 9 months--not including one car that was...

Warning--this is not a joke. Less than a week after reporting about the ninth wrecked 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia (the first on U.S. soil), comes news of yet another damaged example, this time in the Czech Republic. While the damage on this latest car is not as severe as previous incidents, it is still...

Unadulterated, bombastic carbon-fiber insanity--the current Pagani Zonda and its several variants are the embodiment of what it is to be a supercar. But sadly, the car was never officially sold in the U.S. and only a handful have made their way here under special Show & Display rules. That...

It’s hard to believe that in the past 90 days there have been a total of nine wrecked 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia supercars, or about one every ten days. The latest is the first to take place on U.S. soil and it appears to be because of an engine fire, a fate suffered by two other examples. It...

Swiss watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier has released a new exclusive timepiece in celebration of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, building on a partnership that dates back several years now and is approaching its end. Much like the Veyron Super Sport that it was designed to commemorate, the new watch...

Ancient cars, owners nearly as old, straw hats and pink trousers. While this might be the appearance of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance from the outside, that's not the whole story. It is, to a degree, an accurate stereotype, but nestled in amongst the Delages, Delahayes, Talbots, and Tatras...

Only yesterday we reported that too many 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia supercars have been written off, either due to careless drivers crashing them or the cars themselves spontaneously combusting. We even saw one of the rare beauties suffering a crash just one day after leaving Ferrari’s factory in...

In the short time that the new 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia has been on sale we’ve already managed to see at least one crashed example and hear about two other causalities, as well as see an additional two examples go up in flames. Now, we have a video showing yet another 458 Italia suffering from the...

The Bentley Continental range is starting to get a little long in the tooth, having been on sale in its current form since 2003. Despite this, Bentley is milking the most out of its Continental range for the 2011 model year, releasing two more special editions based on the Continental GTC and GTC...

From the hydrogen-powered LIFEcar concept to the Aero SuperSports to its history of wood-framed cars, Morgan spans an incredible variety of technology and aims with its cars, all wrapped in a classically-styled package. For this month's 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Morgan is turning its...

We’ve seen it in white, we’ve seen in black, heck we’ve even seen it in a bright orange finish, but for some reason every time we see the 2012 Lexus LFA in a new color we just fall in love with it all over again. This time around the car is finished in a bright yellow paint scheme that...

With the current ZR-1 supercar already priced above $100,000, the question remains whether General Motors should push the Corvette into the upper echelon of the performance market or allow it to remain somewhat affordable to the average Joe--at least in base spec. Rumors of the Corvette getting a...

Just last month we reported that Lamborghini was looking at the feasibility of launching not one but two new models, a new entry-level sports car and a high-performance SUV, but apart from some conjecture there were few solid details suggesting the new models would ever see the light of day. Fast...
