You're probably reading this wondering why I'm torturing you with a picture of a pink 500 with crystals on it, right? Well it all started the other day, when I was watching an episode of Mad Men, not (just) because I find Christina Hendricks and January Jones to be ...

If you are a German industrialist with more money than you can spend on motorsport-inspired watches and cufflinks than we might have the perfect car to make you feel special. It’s the SLS AMG GT3 and the racing division has decided to launch a Youtube video detailing the road from road car to track performer. The SLS AMG GT3 is powered by a similar engine to the one used in the production version of the model, an AMG 6.3-liter V8. The difference is that for the GT3 version, the power is sent to the ... >> read more

Remi Gaillard Dresses as Speed Camera, Gets Arrested after Flashing the Police [Video]
French humorist Remi Gaillard has one of the best "jobs" in the world, with the man managing to create some of the top pranks the planet has ever seen. As he likes to share his adventures with everybody on Youtube, we can show you his latest feat, one that sees him dressing up as a... speed camera. Gaillard flashes cars that pass by at ridiculously low speeds, with the drivers probably panicking - some of them come to a halt after being flashed at such low speeds.

Light Blue Ferrari SA APERTA [Video]
The Ferrari 599 SA APERTA is an exclusive convertible version of the famous GT that was launched to celebrate the 80th anniversary of their collaboration with Pininfarina. Production is limited to only 80 cars, and only in the past few months have they really started to roll out, and seeing one is rare. But Shmee150 has captured this baby blue example display in the window of HR Owen Ferrari in London. We looked in the UK configurator, and this color is not available, so it could be an exclusive customer ... >> read more

We know that Shmee150 has an Aston Martin he likes to pose in, but another one of our favorite supercar spotters has the corsa blood racing through his cylinders and pipes. We’re talking about Italy’s Marchettino, who owns this red Fiat 500 Abarth. On a sunny day, he enjoyed some track time in this compact hothatch on the legendary Imola racetrack. According to him, he reached a top speed of 190km/h (115mph) in the main straight of the Italian circuit. The Abarth features some track focused... >> read more

The Porsche 911 is probably the most tuned cars in the world, so it’s only natural that the new 991 generation is being offered more and more aftermarket developments and we’re here to talk about the latest one. German exhaust specialist Brombacher has created an exhaust system for both versions of the 911 (only the Carrera and the Carrera S have been launched so far), with the company recently releasing a video to showcase the goodies.

Fiat CEO Taking a Loot at PSA Peugeot-Citroen Merger
Ever since it’s swallowed Skoda, Audi and SEAT, Volkswagen has started having the run of the European market. Reports out of Italy have suggested for a while now that Fiat and PSA/Peugeot-Citroen are looking into the possibility of merging. With the economic crisis and VW Group’s acting as incentives. They are already sharing vans and tech, so why not combine to create a new automotive giant to fight on relative par with VW. Of course the merger is going to be long and difficult... >> read more

Renault Cuts UK Lineup, Dacia Coming Though

Renault Cuts UK Lineup, Dacia Coming Though
Renault’s core business is Europe and while the UK plays a key role, an almost 30 sales drop there last year has prompted a rethink. So from February 1st on, the company will stop taking orders for some cars we hate and some we enjoy. Probably the most important model cut is the Laguna sedan and Coupe, leaving Renault without a model it’s been associated with in the segment for a long time. Also to be cut are the Espace and Modus MPVs, the Kangoo and Traffic passenger vans, and ... >> read more

Audi's Super Bowl Commercial: S7 Kills Vampires
Engineers are rarely allowed to talk, so their desire to explain the world how the bits and pieces in the car world work is natural. Audi has decided to do just that for this year’s edition of the Super Bowl and the company has launched a commercial for this. The clip shows us how certain design flaws can appear if a car is not used by the... race it was created for. It shows us an Audi S7 being used as blood transport car by a vampire bad boy who’s going to a party in the woods. The S7’... >> read more

BMW to Develop More i Green Cars
BMW has strayed far, far away from its path in the the last few years: the company is heading towards ditching natural aspiration altogether, it has placed M badges on diesel vehicles and also announced a range of electric vehicles. However, the latest rumor about the company’s development brings an idea that sound crazy. BMW could introduce a new model as part of its future i range of eco vehicles, with this being a minivan, as Autobild writes. The source states that the alphanumeric... >> read more

Nissan GT-R Races Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Performante [Video]
We have to start by warning you that what you’re going to see is not a fair fight. Yes, a Nissan GT-R battling a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Performante would be a very reasonable proposition, but only if both supercars were stock. However, for the drag race you see in the adjacent video, a tuned incarnation of the GT-R was brought. Since the Lambo’s 570 hp compete against 851 hp, we can assume that the guys who did this were probably using the Gallardo as a benchmark for the aftermarket goo... >> read more

Tennis Star Bernard Tomic Targeted by Police for Driving His BMW M3
The Australian Police is well known for being very strict when it comes to driving rules, with the country even having rules that clearly state aggressive driving behavior should be punished. However, the list of offenses is extremely wide and you can, for example, draw undesired penalties for just revving your engine. This is exactly what happened to Australian tennis star Bernard Tomic, who was recently pulled over for allegedly revving the V8 engine of his BMW M3 at pedestrians. After... >> read more

Fiat has announced that they will distribute the new Strada small pickup across Italy starting next week. The model has proven a huge success in Brazil, where it’s built, but has never caught on in the old world. Now though, this compact workhorse with regular car proportions and looks is getting refreshed. It will be sold in three trim configurations Working, Trekking and Adventure.

“Why buy a car with stealth-fighter looks if you’re not going to give it a stealth paint finish?!” is what the owner of this particular car must have though to himself as he first saw the brand new Lamborghini Aventador. And so he had his car blacked out. Despite its stealthy looks, this monster did appear on one supercar spotter’s radar, since he CarsandCoffeeIrvine filmed this particular beast outside a Miami luxury hotel. The video does an awesome job at revealing the raw look o... >> read more

We’ve yet to really hear Aston Martin’s business case for the little Toyota iQ twin.

A short film shot by Khurrum M. Sultan, a London Film School student, as part of his final year project answers almost all of our questions. It starts with a young gentlemen who’s as sharply dressed as the ca... >> read more

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo to Use Tri-Turbo Engine
When it comes to turbocharged petrol engines, Porsche is one of the top players on the market, with the twin-turbo flat six on the 911 Turbo being a technical masterpiece. When the outgoing 997 generation debuted, this was the first turbocharged petrol engine in the world to offer variable turbine geometry and now that the German carmaker is preparing to launch a new generation of the vehicle (see the latest spy shots here), it seems that Porsche wants to step up its game.

Hyundai Elantra US Sales Capped by Production Capacity

Hyundai Elantra US Sales Capped by Production Capacity
The Hyundai Elantra has recently been named 2012 North American Car of the Year, but there’s a problem with the sales figures, and it’s not the lack of demand that’s the problem. Hyundai’s US sales unit says the tremendous demand means they can’t keep in the production wars. And as a result, 2012 won’t see the same 41% gain of last year. In 2011, Hyundai sold 186,361 units in the United States alone, helping the company on to a better than average 20 perc... >> read more

Porsche Cayenne Air Suspension Lowering Module from Vogtland
If you ask European tuners about their favorite playground, the “Porsche” name will probably be the answer and one of the most spoiled children of the aftermarket world is the Cayenne. The German SUV has just received a new tuning development, in the form of a lowering module for the air suspension-fitted models, which comes from German company Vogtland Autosport.

Consumer Reports has yet again published its relatively thorough test results on a bunch of new vehicles for the US market.

We really have no way of knowing what the new Dodge Viper will look like, since the only test cars seen on the road these days are mules based on the current generation. So there’s no way of knowing if it’s got six wheels and a Gatling gun on top.

Peugeot’s cars used to be compact little boxes for darting around the city, through tight streets and the hectic Parisian traffic. Bot somewhere along the line, they became bland and bulky, especially the 308, about which the only good thing we can say is that the CC looked decent. Now though, Peugeot is replacing it and we have good news. As you’ve probably heard already, the replacement for the 207 is really small and light, and the latest spy photos f the 308 successor show this might also ... >> read more

German publication Auto Motor und Sport seems to have the scoop on the future Audi lineup. According to them, the Q1 crossover isn’t that likely, though it’s likely still being discussed.

A Lamborghini is a work of art, both from an engineering and from a design point of view. Therefore, intentionally setting fire to it should be punished with jail time.
