There’s something I genuinely love about the Brabus-ified Smart ForTwos. The very idea of a tuning company squeezing the most performance they can out of a tiny city car encapsulates the grand ridiculousness that is exactly what I love about cars. This latest microbeast looks pretty great, too, and is a solid 1/11th…
Good news: Citroën, the French maker of forbidden fruit for us Americans, has revived the C6 nameplate for a new sedan. Bad news: unlike the last C6, which was weird and magical and smooth as hell to drive, this new car approaches Passat levels of boring.
The gas plug-in T-Prime GTE Concept follows the diesel plug-in CrossBlue Concept as Volkswagen is getting ready to launch its full-sized three-row hybrid SUV. This time, we’re looking at a combined output of 375 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque with an electric range of 31 miles. Can it make SUV-crazed Americans…
For reasons I don't entirely understand, there was a GTA WM Saleen Super S7 at the Beijing Auto Show. Is Saleen still selling S7s there or this just a dealer? Photo: Getty Images.
Are you an extremely wealthy Chinese oligarch and/or party official? Is a Ferrari FF too loud and garish for your liking? Do you long for the good old days when Mao was in charge and people knew their place? Have we got a car for you!
What you're looking at is not the newest Mini Cooper derivative. It's the Lifan 330, a car that went onsale in the Chinese home market last year and recently made an appearance on the floor of the Beijing Motor Show. And I think it may be why Chinese buyers aren't buying Chinese cars.
Jeep brought four special SUVs to this year's Beijing Motor Show. Two of them answered our most burning questions about the brand: will LED bars ever make it to the front bumper of a Wrangler and can you fit 20's on a Renegade?
We've heard rumblings lately that BMW is working on a new ultra-luxury 9-Series flagship sedan that could share a platform with the next Rolls-Royce Phantom. But turns out this concept from the Beijing Motor Show is actually a 7, not a 9.
Do you want to be excited this morning? Yes? Yes you do? Well, start peeing your pants: Volkswagen has confirmed that they will build the crazy 400 horsepower Golf R 400 that debuted at the Beijing Show. Holy shitting guacamole, Batman.
Here is a teaser video for the new Lincoln MKX Concept headed to the Beijing Motor Show. If you care. Or not. Whichever.
The Volkswagen Golf has this weird track record of producing insane über-hatch concepts. Remember the R8-esque Design Vision GTI? Or the 650 horsepower Golf with a W12 engine? Add another one to that list: the Golf R 400 Concept.
It's a day that ends in 'y,' so that means it's time for another new special edition Bugatti Veyron. And this one is the 'Black Bess,' a Veyron that is an homage to the Bugatti Type 18 and appears to have eyelashes over the lights.
In this editor's humble opinion, the GTS models are always the best versions of any Porsche. They're the cars the way enthusiasts would option them, sold at a reasonable cost. As part of the massive Porsche leak today we know the 2014 Boxster GTS and 2014 Cayman GTS will continue this tradition.
Lacking a large supply of true military vehicles, rebels in Libya largely used trucks with improvised armaments as "technicals" instead. Some of these were Toyotas and Fords, but most were Chinese-built knockoffs of Toyotas and Fords.
Today at the Beijing Motor Show, Nissan unveiled the Sylphy. But don't be fooled by the name; this is the US-bound 2013 Nissan Sentra in disguise.
This is the Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parcel it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
We already know that Lamborghini is making an SUV, we think it'll be called the Urus, and now Evo Magazine has what looks like the first picture and spec details of the Raging Bull's new cash cow.
This invitation to the unveiling at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show provides definitive proof that the much-discussed Lamborghini SUV — possibly named Lamborghini Urus — is really happening.
We know the now-confirmed Lamborghini SUV will premiere at this year's Beijing Motor Show, but the Chinese media is slapping down a few interesting details including the possible name: Urus. You know, as in the mother of bulls.
Renders of a Lamborghini SUV have left everyone to wonder just what the Italians are up to with regards to their future plans (other than a dozen or so alphanumerically-enhanced Aventadors). The company has responded to the rumors with few details but some intrigue.
