This morning we saw BMW's first preview of the upcoming 2010 American Le Mans Series season with its Rahal Letterman M3 GT race car. Now we have Corvette Racing's first episode of twelve, with the focus being preparation for the 2010 season, and especially the 12 Hours of Sebring. Recapping the 2009 season's dramatic end, and looking over the...
Looking like nothing so much as a Panamera sedan that's had the roof lopped off behind the A-pillars in Photoshop, these patent drawings of the upcoming Porsche Panamera Convertible give us a clear idea of what to expect. Fortunately, the top-down version does away with what many consider the Panamera's least appealing feature: the bulbous rear...
Completely frickin' insane. That's pretty much the only way to describe the Pagani Zonda R and the minds behind its creation. As the purebred racer of the Zonda fold, the sculpted carbon fiber ludicrousity of its street counterparts melts away into pure sound and function on the track. And this video captures its essence. Watch for the green...
The Nissan GT-R is a self-defined paradox: the affordable, every-day supercar that doesn't let you modify it; that costs surprising amounts to maintain; and that isn't available in large quantities. But its impressive all-wheel drive performance and technological barrage nevertheless deliver for fans. For the 2011 model year, things are going to...

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is proving to be one of the more exciting offerings of the next couple of years, and as the spiritual successor to the renowned Gullwing 300SL of the 1950s it makes sense for the car to be offered in a roofless variant as well. There’s no official word yet from the automaker but it’s expected that a ...
This year is Alfa Romeo's centenary and in honor of the occasion the automaker is planning a series of special events, including the unveiling of a brand new model on June 24, 2010--the automaker's actual birthday. This new model is expected to be a high-performance ‘GTA’ version of the 8C Competizione supercar but according to a new...
Remember the Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta? If not, we’re sure you at least remember the multi-million dollar Pininfarina designed P4/5 based on the Ferrari Enzo. Both cars were special one-offs designed and developed exclusively for their respective well-heeled owners, and if you too fancy your very own custom Ferrari the automaker offers a...
When General Motors shut down Saturn late last year, it lost more than a quarter of its sales of hybrid vehicles. Saturn, with no V-8 models, full-size SUVs or pickups, was GM’s most fuel-efficient brand and was second only to Chevrolet for overall hybrid sales with its Vue and Aura mild-hybrid models. Saturn also planned to launch a new...
