The third month of 2011 went extremely well for the Germans at BMW in terms of sales but the Spanish at Seat can’t complain either. It seems that VW’s fiery and sporty division from Spain has had one of its best monthly sales ever registered by the company on the UK market.
I don’t really know why, but Audi’s R8 is tuning darling, and the V10 version is clearly in the top ranks. It’s probably because of the same class feel as the Porsche 911, another tuner magnet, but either way, this here Ingolstadt made V10 really shines.
Nearly everywhere you go in the automotive business you’ll get to see downsizing of engines, mostly for economical and ecological concerns. This reaches out even to the business sector and worse still (in their imagination) to the Americans, as Audi will now demonstrate.
We knew it was just around the corner, but this is a bit of a sudden situation as these images come from a private event held in Munich. Since it was in Munich it would almost certainly be a BMW event and the Bavarians unveiled two things there, the first being the M3 Pickup we
Chrysler took some flak for ruining the Dodge Charger name in stamping it onto a sedan but since then people have sort of taken a liking to it. The 2012 version of the Dodge Charger may bring back the hate, especially when General Lee enthusiasts find out what engine will be powering the new one.
We’ve seen it in spyshots, we’ve been told by the Bavarians that they are preparing an April Fools’ Day prank but you can’t help but be interested in a BMW M3 pickup can you now? Based on the BMW M3 we all know and love, the pickup does have quite a few points of appeal
There was a time when hot hatchbacks ruled the world, since then however things have changed. Hot hatches went out of fashion and came back in but not in the same manner. In between the legislation making them impossible to get and safety criteria weighing down the cars, youngsters wanting a fast and very small
Porsche made good on their promise for making an S version of the Porsche Panamera Turbo by the end of the week and here we are with the details on it. While we do know the big stuff, especially the situation about the new power output figures of the twin-turbocharged 4.8 liter V8 but the
Aston Martin isn’t the sort of company that updates is products very often so once they got done working on the Virage, they pretty much took a tea break. Before the British did that they did realize that people needed some news from them so they cropped up a press release of new photos of
Chevrolet’s Cruze is a pretty fascinating vehicle, but since Holden is going to sell it in Australia it does need something specific of a selling point. That’ll be the reason behind Holden currently developing a performance variant of the Cruze as they’ve just announced and showed us a few pictures.
The Mazda MX5-GT is a lighter, faster, track-oriented Miata for those of you who just can’t get enough fun in this popular roadster. If I step off the patronizing plate for a few minutes I’m going to acknowledge that this version of the Mazda MX-5 is a lot more serios than most of us would
Porsche’s 911 GT3 R Hybrid may be interesting but since it’s only a racing car we’re more interested in street going stuff. And on that front the high-performance Germans came forward today with an announcement that’s way more interesting, because it’s regarding the 918.
Safety in cars and Swedish built may often come up in conversation but for several years that wasn’t necessarily the case as Koenigsegg came into the equation. Koenigsegg make some of the fastest and rarest cars in the world and their most recent creation, the Agera R was revealed just a few weeks ago. This
Slightly confusing, I know, if you think of it this way, the Arden AR8 City-Roader is a familiar shape yet a name that’s almost completely new. This is because even though it’s actually been revealed hours ago, the Arden AR8 City-Roader isn’t exactly a new car, it’s a tuning kit offered for the Range Rover
In case you missed the situation on the new Sant’Agata Bolognese flagship, here’s another update from the Italians. Apart from only making 4000 units and the Lamborghini Aventador being sold out for 2011, it’s now gotten worse.
I tend to be annoyed when some tuning company sets up shop and in their enthusiasm end up ruining a perfectly good car. This doesn’t happen with Amari Design, a tuner that’s unheard of yet which came up with such an amazing kit for the Bentley Continental GT.
You know what? I find ridiculous that despite the numerous negative responses BMW got for creating the X6M and making it that fast, some people want it to be that much more powerful. Among these people we find the German tuners at Hamann and they’ve come up with the 2011 BMW X6M’s evil twin, the
Given the nature of people, by the time you manage to get yourself enough money to actually own a Maybach 62, chances are lots of people are going to hate you. This is where the Maybach 62 Guard comes in, it’s an armored version of the car but apparently, that’s not all it promises.
The 2011 Geneva Motor Show showed it to us in the metal and now we’re getting to the point where we’re finding out more about the Alfa Romeo 4C. Not only is this gorgeous and affordable two door coupe actually going to be produced but Alfa Romeo is already working on actually bringing it to
I’m a bit sympathetic for Audi, they are clearly trying to escape the realm of the boring business buyer’s market and yet they have to make cars that do awfully well in this segment. No matter the reason, the Ingolstadt based Germans are coming up with designs that struggle somewhere between the lines of interesting
