A very quick peek under the hood.
As part of their self-made coverage of the new Urus concept, Lamborghini released a quick little video showing off some of the details of the 590 horsepower super-ute. And one of those details happened to be a look at the motor powering this monster—something we didn’t know much about before. (more…)
We hope it's the 543 horsepower one.
Call it the Aston Martin Centenary—for now.
If you missed out on your chance to buy an Aston Martin One-77, first off, we’re sorry. Not that sorry, because now you have about $2 million to spend on cars lying around, but a little sorry. (more…)
And to celebrate, watch six minutes of it racing supercars.
Update: According to Car and Driver, Nissan Europe is pricing the Juke-R at about €450,000, which works out to around $590,000 at today’s exchange rates. Guess you’ll have to decide if a Juke with GT-R running gear is worth as much as a Ferrari 599 GTO and a Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca.

Uh, yes please.
Maserati’s product planners have a lot on their plate these days. A new Quattroporte is coming in the next year or so, followed by a second, 5 Series-sized sedan, the Kubang SUV, and then presumably an update of the six-year-old GranTurismo. But there’s always room for another sports car, right? (more…)
Manual gearbox sales eke up every so slightly. But we'll take it.
It’s one of those sentences we never thought we’d be lucky enough to write: Manual transmission-equipped car sales are on the rise in the United States. (more…)
One tough decision we don't mind having to make.
If you, like us, suffer from an unfortunate combination of automotive enthusiasm and a lack of gratuitous wealth, you’ll be very happy to hear the Ford’s 2013 Focus ST will start at just $23,700. That is, unless you were already this close to laying down a deposit on a $24,200 Scion FR-S. (more…)
