  • Ford GT production ends

    Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] is ending the production of its flagship supercar, the GT, after building 4,038 units. The car was shown as a concept in 2002 and made it to production shortly after due to massive public demand. The 550-horsepower supercar had a top speed of over 200 mph and could go from 0-62 mph in 3.3 seconds. Ford always said the GT would be in limited production, and the fact that it's been built until now was unexpected. The factory where the GT was produced is to close soon, while the 40-odd people working on the GT will be moved elsewhere.

  • Details on the BMW Z9, Audi R8, and Mercedes P8

    For years the sports car world has been dominated by the likes of Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini, with a lot of other manufacturers largely left out in the cold. Sure, the BMW M5 and Audi RS4 can go very fast indeed and impress us simply through sheer horsepower numbers, but it has been years since BMW and Audi have had proper high-end sports cars to compete with the F430 or a Gallardo. The three German powerhouses of BMW, Mercedes and Audi have decided to move in to this market with cars that will enhance the overall appeal of the brand by acting as “halo cars.” Germany’s...

However, if you’re considering buying a car that costs more than most people’s homes, then you’re probably not struggling too much when the price of fuel shoots up a couple of cents. Trips down to the local shopping mall could end up costing a small fortune if someone's careless enough...
