| Report: 2015 Corvette Z06 Gets 13 MPG City, 23 MPG Highway |
Nov 21st, 2014 |
|
GT Spirit claims to have gotten its hands on “leaked” 2015 Corvette Z06 fuel-economy ratings. This is about as unconfirmed as unconfirmed gets, so take it with a grain of salt, but the numbers seem pretty believable: 13 mpg city, 23 highway, and 16 combined, with the eight-speed automatic. Hey, 650 horses were never gonna be […]

Ironically, it’s in Britain—where antisocial-behavior orders are an actual civil offense—where the rear-wheel-drive R will carry on with its smoky, irreverent burnouts. […]

Nov 21st, 2014 |
|
There are two paths to creating a high-performance sedan. First, install a large and powerful engine under the hood. Then, you can either announce its presence to the world by adding spoilers, fender flares, a body kit, stripes, scoops, and assorted whirligigs—or you can avoid all that and keep the power in hiding.

| Johan de Nysschen: Cadillac Diesels in 2019, Possible 911 Fighter in a Decade |
Nov 21st, 2014 |
|
There’s been consternation. There’s been hand-wringing. There’s been the gnashing of teeth. If new president Johan de Nysschen hasn’t turned Cadillac on its ear, he’s certainly stirred the pot with the new CT/XT(X) naming scheme and the GM division’s impending move to the island of Manhattan. At this point, both are done deals. So rather than […]

This week at the L.A. auto show, Audi showed off its latest riff, a plug-in-hybrid fuel-cell A7 named H-tron Quattro that performs like a regular gas-powered sedan, […]

Having spent more than 35 years traveling the globe to work on some of the most exotic Porsches of all time, Jay Lloyds probably never figured he’d come close to meeting his demise in a blizzard outside of Buffalo, New York.
