Apr 12th, 2013 |
|

Apr 12th, 2013 |
|
We know it’s about a year away from being revealed, but the 2015 Ford Mustang probably is the debut to watch for next year.

| Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse is World’s Fastest Roadster—Is Anyone Surprised? |
Apr 12th, 2013 |
|
Open-top motoring is about taking in the scenery more than about speed, but it’s good to have the capability to do both. This line of thinking has been taken to an extreme at Volkswagen’s ultra-luxury subsidiary Bugatti, which produces the open-top Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. Powered by a 1200-hp, quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16, it is [...]

| Aston Martin Blows Some Steam—Or At Least Vapor—With Hydrogen-Powered Rapide S Race Car |
Apr 12th, 2013 |
|
Aston Martin is known for many things—beautiful styling, sonorous V-12 engines, an “in” with James Bond, to name a few—but advanced alternative powertrain research and development isn’t exactly one of them.

Apr 12th, 2013 |
|
The 2015 Audi A3 will add a four-door sedan body style for the U.S. market and, although it’s new to the U.S., the car reminds us of something we’ve seen before. Not only does the new A3 share styling cues with the outgoing hatchback and current A4, the car brings back fond memories of the [...]

Apr 12th, 2013 |
|
It’s almost inevitable: as driving enthusiasts, we’ll likely all get pinched for speeding at one point or another. Sometimes we deserve it – my (idiot) friend’s 100 mph in a 55 mph zone ticket springs to mind – while other times we simply don’t, like the time I got “caught” doing 35 mph in a [...]
