| Can You Spot the DMC Aventador in Michael Bay's "Very Sexy 2013" Victoria Secret Video? Posted: 16 Apr 2013 07:18 PM PDT  Do we really need a special reason to watch any Victoria Secret video? Of course not, but the fact that Michael Bay, director of the Transformers franchise and other blockbusters of questionable quality, has used DMC's Lamborghini Aventador Molto Veloce as a backdrop for the lingerie company's new "Very Sexy 2013" video campaign, provides us with a legitimate excuse to share it with you… Read more »        |
| Scoop: BMW Gives 2014 M5 Sedan a Light Nip and Tuck Posted: 16 Apr 2013 06:30 PM PDT  BMW is not known for making shattering updates when it comes to mid-cycle facelifts, and this surely applies to the upcoming 2014 5-Series range, including the sedan, Touring, Gran Turismo, prototypes of which have already been spotted, as well as the M5 performance sedan that our spies captured resting outside the Nürburgring circuit in Germany.

| Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR for a Cool Two Million on eBay Posted: 16 Apr 2013 05:19 PM PDT  If the current crop of hypercars is not interesting enough, there is also the category of older cars that are actually very fast, even by modern standards of performance - like this 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, one of the few real "racing cars for the road." Now, a perfect example has just popped up on eBay, where it can be acquired for precisely $1,995,980 – the $500 deposit shouldn't be a problem for any of the serious buyers looking at this car… Read more »   |
| SRT Shows Us What Goes on In Their "Color Kitchen" Posted: 16 Apr 2013 02:21 PM PDT  The latest offerings from Chrysler's SRT division always seem to "pop" out color-wise, especially when the cars are all polished up on the motor show floor. This is not by accident, as each car in the range gets its own bespoke colors, which is chosen with a number of factors in mind. First off, there is the car's history, then there's its general shape, and finally it's what SRT wants to show with a particular model. Read more »    |
| McLaren Drops New Photos of P1 Hypercar for Your Desktop Posted: 16 Apr 2013 01:47 PM PDT  When it comes to exotic supercars like the McLaren P1, there's no such thing as too many photos, especially since very few people will actually get the chance to see one up close… It is the second time this year that McLaren has shared an admittedly, beautiful gallery of images of the P1 photographed at the Bahrain International Circuit. The British automaker said it did so this time to celebrate the opening of the new McLaren Manama showroom at the Bahrain World Trade Center over the 2013 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix programme.

| Scoop Video: This Ferrari California Prototype is Likely Fitted with a V8 Turbo Posted: 16 Apr 2013 01:08 PM PDT  We are not exactly sure why Ferrari is testing out turbocharged California prototypes, but they are real and undergoing testing at the Fiorano test track. Marchettino spotted one such vehicle about one year ago, and now a new and louder one has made its appearance in Italy. Read more »    |
| Mercedes-Benz Boss Says Next C-Class to Get Convertible and Hybrid, But No 3-Series GT Rival Posted: 16 Apr 2013 12:40 PM PDT  With all the prototypes of the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class we've seen going around lately, it was only a matter of time before the brand with the star started talking about its new compact premium sedan. In an interview with Autonews, Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon laid out the firm's plans and divulged some interesting details about the new W205-codenamed C-Class, which for the first time ever, will be produced at the company's Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant starting next year.

| BMW X5 and Audi Racers Cause Huge Accident in Russian Tunnel Posted: 16 Apr 2013 11:30 AM PDT  Sure, weaving through slower cars while you're traveling at a much higher speed, can be seen as fun by some, but the small dose of pleasure and adrenaline it generates cannot really begin to match the level of risk you're exposing yourself and other drivers when acting in such a manner. Like the woman at the beginning of the Need for Speed games says: "Always wear your seat belt, and always obey the laws of the road!" However, this is exactly what the two drivers in this video don't do. The one behind the wheel of the BMW X5 (M?) was racing the driver of another fast German car, an Audi estate of some sort (possibly an A6/S6 or A4/S4), through a rather crowed tunnel on the Leningrad highway in Russia.

| Spy Shots: Volkswagen Turns the Wick on the New Golf R Mk7 Posted: 16 Apr 2013 10:07 AM PDT  If you were wondering what's next for the new Volkswagen Golf Mk7 family after the launch of the GTI (in Europe, as North America will get it in 2014), you're looking at it in these pictures. VW engineers may have placed red GTI badges on the front fenders of the prototype, but a quick look at the back and the quad exhaust pipe arrangement as well as the visibly larger front and rear brake discs leave no doubt that this is the new Golf R.

| Fresh Details on the New Nissan Qashqai that Debuts in November Posted: 16 Apr 2013 09:34 AM PDT  The ultra-popular (in Europe) Nissan Qashqai crossover, one of the Japanese automaker's most successful mainstream models, is going to be replaced with an all-new generation for 2014. Set to be revealed in November of this year, the completely redesigned Qashqai will make its way to showroom floors next year, and it has been announced that it will be a completely different-looking machine.

| Watch a Nissan GT-R 550PS Race a Fighter Jet with 22,000HP Posted: 16 Apr 2013 01:56 PM PDT  In its current form, the Nissan GT-R has been in the market for six years, but amazingly, it's still the king of performance when you weigh in the cost of acquiring the Japanese model that starts from just under $100,000 in the States. With very few exceptions, that concern select and tremendously more expensive exotic hypercars - think the $2.8 million Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, it has come out as a winner in most speed-related competitions.

| Stirling Moss Says Women Can’t Succeed in Formula One! Posted: 16 Apr 2013 08:20 AM PDT  History has really shown how some points of view change as the human species evolves. There were many problems in the past with the acceptance of women (and races of people) into various establishments, and according to legendary Formula One driver, Sir Stirling Moss, they are still not cut for succeeding in the series, because they "lack the aptitude" needed for motorsport.

| India's DC-Design to Give the Dacia Duster a Conceptual Makeover Posted: 16 Apr 2013 07:36 AM PDT  The Renault Group's Dacia Duster SUV is the latest object of Indian coachbuilder and styling firm DC-Design's affections, as the company has just issued a teaser image of a new concept model it will soon release in the flesh.

| Renault Boss Says Alpine Sports Car Will Get 280Hp and Retro Styling Cues Posted: 16 Apr 2013 10:06 AM PDT  Before Renault brings out their brand new Alpine sports car, sometime in 2016, we can already take a look at one of its direct competitors, the Alfa Romeo 4C, a car which, at least on paper, seems very similar. The Alpine will also cost about the same, and offer similar performance, as British magazine Autocar has learnt from the group boss, Carlos Tavares, that the new mid-engined sports car will have around 280 hp.

| Florida Cop Filmed Hitting a Pedestrian and….Leaving Scene Posted: 16 Apr 2013 06:42 AM PDT  A Florida police officer is in hot water after striking a pedestrian with his squad car and leaving the scene without calling in the incident and asking for an ambulance. The accident occurred in January when Orlando police officer Fiorentino-Tyburski hit Tetris Nunn as he was crossing the road when the pedestrian signal said not to. As you can see in the footage from a surveillance video that was obtained by WFTV news, the officer stopped and came out of the car and asked the man a few questions, but he then took off without reporting the incident. Nunn then called the police. Read more »   |
| 2015 Subaru WRX Scooped: If This Is It, be Prepared for a Styling Letdown… Posted: 16 Apr 2013 05:41 AM PDT  One of the worst things about impressive concept cars such as the new Subaru WRX that was by far, the most talked about (in a very positive way) world premiere at the recent 2013 New York Auto Show, is when carmakers water down the design on their production iterations. Could this be the case with the upcoming Subaru WRX? Well, if the camouflaged Subaru prototype that our scoop photographers just captured in Germany is indeed the WRX, then the answer is yes, as there's no denying that it follows in the footsteps of its predecessors simply wearing a sportier kit over the regular Impreza sedan's body.

| New Renault Clio Estate Imagined in RS 200 EDC Guise Posted: 16 Apr 2013 05:06 AM PDT  If there's one small station wagon we could see wearing a 'hot hatch' badge, it is the new Renault Clio Estate. Whether the French carmaker would ever consider placing its RS logo on it, is a different story. Read more »    |
