Is the Chevy Camaro a sexy car? Certainly! But this sexy? We stumbled across this seemingly legitimate spot titled “Camaro Lust” and couldn’t help but question is this was a racier for-the-internet video, or if perhaps Chevy had nothing to do with it at all. As it turns out, the latter is the case. “We…

The Targa Newfoundland just got a huge boost in popularity, thanks to Zahir Rana and his Ferrari Enzo. Any time a Ferari Enzo rashes it’s big news. It’s even bigger when the car crashes into the Atlantic Ocean during a sanctioned open road race. You can’t buy publicity like this. And you probably couldn’t afford…
Unveiled for the first time in all its widebody glory at the Frankfurt Auto Show this week, the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Coupe is undeniably a car on steroids. Transformed on every level the car is 3-inches wider overall, with flared fenders and a wider track. Plus, it gains an upgraded AMG brake package…
After having showcased numerous new concept cars at the past several auto shows, one might expect that Lotus had dried up its reserve of new car news. Not so. At the Frankfurt Auto Show the British manufacturer had on display six new or newish models. Many won’t make their way to North America, but some…
It comes as little surprise that the reveal of an all-new Porsche 911 at the Frankfurt Auto Show proved to be one of the major highlights of the day, despite literally dozens of world premieres. With a new platform, engines and new technology (though in true Porsche fashion, only a slightly different look), the latest…
There might not be much new about Toyota‘s FT-86 II Concept, but with the hype continuing to build around the production model it’s worth another look.

As the most successful Lamborghini model ever, the Gallardo is getting a solid send-off, with a new limited edition model titled the LP570-4 Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale. Unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show, it takes its styling and light-weight from the Gallardo Super Trofeo racing cars, the engine remains unchanged at 562-hp while the sub-3,000…
Unveiled today at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Ford‘s Evos concept is more than just a hybrid Aston Martin clone. Beautiful, yes, but it’s also a look at the future of where Ford’s SYNC technology could go, as well as some new “smart” methods of maximizing fuel economy. It is, after all, a hybrid. Power the…
Ahead of its Frankfurt Auto Show premiere of six new models, Lotus has released a perplexing video teaser of one of these new sports cars. But wait, the above screen shot, taken from the boxer-on-a-race-track Lotus Films production, hints that perhaps Lotus will reveal an all-new Exige in Frankfurt. Don’t expect a production model, but…
Volvo plans on debuting a new concept car at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show to promote its new four-cylinder engine lineup.

This particular Chevy…
A slap in the face to internet bench racers everywhere, Lexus has confirmed its 7:14.64 Nurburgring lap time.

As though there could be any more hype surrounding Toyota‘s upcoming sports car, a new version of the FT-86 II Concept is being teased ahead of its unveiling at the Frankfurt Auto Show next week. Touted to be “faster, lighter and sportier” than in the past, it’s unclear why Toyota has then decided to refer…
Can a Volvo transport truck beat a Ferrari in a drag race? Not unbelievable enough for you? Then let’s make the Volvo a hybrid too. OK, so this Volvo isn’t exactly capable of hauling any loads down the Motorväg, but it still makes for an exciting comparo… or at least it did until we found…
There was really only one problem with the V10-powered E60 BMW M5. The issue? A heavy sedan powered by a low torque, high-revving engine that required full throttle and 8-10ths driving to be any real fun. Pair that engine with a light weight race car (a Subaru Impreza for instance), however, and you’ve got quite…

Two knucklehead dealership technicians decided to borrow a BMW 1 Series M Coupe and put it through its paces. What makes the video even more painful to watch is that the technicians have no sympathy for the car’s delicate break in period. Interstingly, members of the 1Addicts forum managed to narrow down the location of the…
