Nov 18th, 2014 |
|
Maximum Bob’s new Fisker Karma–based Destino is nigh. If there were ever a case to be made for a car to be called a four-door coupé, it was the ill-starred Fisker Karma. Bob Lutz—steward of the Karma’s remains in the form of his once-VL Automotive Destino, now known as the WM Destino—refers to it as a […]

| 2015 Mercedes-Benz C400 4MATIC Tested: An S-class with a Lowercase S |
Nov 18th, 2014 |
|
Oh, Mercedes! Have you already abandoned your efforts to become BMW? This new C400 4MATIC is a beautiful mini-limousine, an S-class ritually shrunken as if by Amazonian tribesmen, but it’s no 335i dog fighter. Maybe Benz is tired of trying to be somebody else and just wants to go back to being Mercedes, the world’s […]

Nov 18th, 2014 |
|
Ford’s choice of venue for unveiling the new Shelby GT350 Mustang couldn’t have been more appropriate: Shelby International, the house that Carroll built. Flanked by six original GT350s—Ol’ Shel’s lightweight, high-revving road racers—the newest Mustang’s debut wasn’t just an unveiling. It was a homecoming.

| Ford Teases Our Ears with This Mustang Shelby GT350 Video |
Nov 17th, 2014 |
|
Today Ford gave us our first look at the all-new Mustang Shelby GT350—and, boy, is it tasty—but pictures and words do nothing to inform us about the sound of the car’s high-revving 5.2-liter V-8. It’s of particular interest here because the V-8 sports Ford’s first-ever flat-plane crankshaft, a layout usually reserved for racing and exotic-car engines. Such motors are known for producing unrivaled aural goodness—and […]

| GT6 Made Flesh: VW’s GTI Roadster Concept Is Insanely Cool |
Nov 17th, 2014 |
|
Six months ago, Volkswagen dropped one of its annual Wörthersee specials, a real-world version of a loopy roadster created specifically for in-game Gran Turismo 6 play. The topless machine obviously referenced last year’s Design Vision GTI concept, which we had a chance to drive in Inglewood after last year’s L.A. auto show. This year, VW is […]
