| We Drive the 2014 Corvette Stingray and Pit it Against the ZR-1, Z06 and a Few Vipers on GT5 Posted: 14 Feb 2013 07:23 PM PST  The new Corvette Stingray is the car everyone and his or her mother wants to get their hands on. As we were discussing our frustration for not seeing the Detroit Motor Show's most anticipated new model driven by someone else aside from the company's people, we had an epiphany. The Corvette Stingray is already available for us to drive whenever we feel like it, for as long as we like and on any track in the world. True, it's not in the metal, but in virtual form via the free DLC (that's downloadable content to the uninitiated) on the Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) Playstation video game. Read more »       |
| 18-Year Old Builds a Toyota Supra Replica from a Celica Coupe Posted: 14 Feb 2013 06:20 PM PST  We don't know about Denmark, but in the States, the fourth generation of the Toyota Supra (1992-2002) is not only a rare commodity nowadays – for example, we found 8 listed for sale on eBay and 91 on Autotrader, and that's for the entire USA- but a very expensive one at that, with unmolested, low mileage cars often exchanging hands for $40,000 or more. The reason why we mention Denmark is that, CarScoop reader Daniel S. brought to our attention a replica of a Supra IV built upon a Toyota Celica coupe from 1994 that he found listed for sale in his country.

| Latest Scoop Photos of the New BMW 2-Series Coupe Posted: 14 Feb 2013 04:54 PM PST  Camouflaged prototypes of BMW's forthcoming 2-Series Coupe and Convertible cars are beginning to make more frequent appearances on public roads, something that suggests we may be edging a little bit closer to their unveiling. After capturing the rag-top model earlier this week, our scoopsters stumbled upon the coupe model of the brand new 2-Series range, which replaces the same body styles of the first generation 1-Series, while using the platform and engines of the second-generation 1-Series hatchback.

| Mercedes Confirms 13 Brand New Models Until 2020, Including an SUV to be Built in the U.S. Posted: 14 Feb 2013 03:05 PM PST  At a recent Daimler Group Annual Press Conference in Stuttgart, the company's CEO Dieter Zetsche, outlined the Mercedes-Benz car brand's plans, in which he confirmed the launch of a total of 13 new vehicles that have no predecessor in the automaker's portfolio.

| Check Out This All-Original 1971 Mercedes-Benz 250 with 35,000 Miles Posted: 14 Feb 2013 02:37 PM PST  There was a time when German premium automakers produced cars that could last for a very, very long time if properly taken care of. Old Mercedes-Benz taxi cabs clocking hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and in some instances, even surpassing a million kilometers on the same powertrain, are a testament to that. Now imagine if such a car was treated as a garage queen for, if not all, most of its life, having been driven only 35,000 miles (a little over 56,000 km) since its birth 42 years ago. What would it look like today? Read more »   |

| Spied: Up, Close and Personal with New Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Posted: 14 Feb 2013 12:56 PM PST  Winter is not the right time to be out in a powerful convertible model, unless, of course, you happen to be an automotive engineer conducting tests on a future model. If you weren't pleased with our first, far-away shots of the upcoming Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, our spies scored another set of photos, this time up close and personal, when the cloth-top sports car was parked at a gas station.

| Maltese Power Company Imagines New Chreos Electric Luxury Sedan that Hits 100km/h in 2.9s Posted: 14 Feb 2013 11:14 AM PST  The resurgence of battery-powered vehicles this past decade or so has inspired many companies outside of the automotive industry to try their luck in creating new types of vehicles. The complexity of designing any car that complies with norms in major international markets such as Europe and North America, however, means that very few have succeeded in building and selling their EV idea. Nevertheless, these difficulties haven't stopped new entrants from seeking time in the limelight, like Malta-based Silex Power, which is a green-energy company that has been involved in a number of projects, including photovoltaic plants, hydroelectric and wind farms, with offices in Italy, France, China and the UK.

| All-Electric Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Inspires Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Powerboat Posted: 14 Feb 2013 07:41 PM PST  The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive is, in itself, quite an achievement: its six electric motors endow it with 704HP (552 kW) and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque so it can boast true supercar performance with zero CO2 emissions.

| Revamped Aston Martin DB9 Faces Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG in Latest Head2Head Posted: 14 Feb 2013 09:53 AM PST  Let's say that you have US$200,000 to spend on a car and, for some reason, you don't want to buy a Ferrari or a Porsche but something more practical to drive every day. Fret not because there are other options out there and they're not bad at all. The Aston Martin DB9 is the oldest model in the British company's line-up, having been around since 2004. For the 2013MY it received a substantial revamp, though, with the 5.9-liter V12 being pumped up to 510HP and the chassis and suspension receiving parts from the new Vanquish and the (now defunct) DBS and Virage.
