Subaru Celeno Sports Sedan Concept by Xuacu Pérez Quesada

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 05:26 PM PDT

Looking at Subaru's relatively boring lineup (barring the STI, and to a lesser extent, the WRX), it's refreshing to find people interested in bringing some new ideas to the brand. In the case of the Celeno, that person is budding car designer Xuacu Pérez Quesada. Mr. Quesada interned for Italdesign and received an M.A. in Transportation Design...

VIDEO: The tale of Murray Fowler and his BMW 2800 CS

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 03:37 PM PDT

Here's hoping that one day we too will be able to tell a tale about our car like Murray Fowler and his beautiful late 1960s / early 1970s BMW 2800 CS. The 81-year-old owner of the BMW coupe is from Costa Mesa California and he has clocked an astonishing 413,575 miles (that's a little over 665,000 km) so far. The video is part of a new series from...


2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor: New SuperCrew Version with Seating for 5

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 02:15 PM PDT

Bowing to demand for a four-door, five-seat high-output dune hopper, Ford has taken the wraps off its upcoming 2011 SVT Raptor SuperCrew. It comes with a 12-inch longer wheelbase, a 36-gallon fuel tank, and even introduces a new color (Ingot Silver Metallic). The Raptor's old 5.4-liter V8 is gone, meaning the 6.2-liter 411-horsepower V8 is...

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 01:32 PM PDT

With the Paris Motor Show just around the corner, you'd think that the interwebs would have something better to do than embrace wild rumors such as the Toyota FT-86 sport sedan - seriously, now.... But that's not the only story making the rounds on the web today. Several sites have posted the above photo claiming its some sort of leaked brochure...


Burnin' gas and kickin' ass: Ford Australia Supercharges 5.0 V8 for FPV Falcon

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 11:58 AM PDT

The Ford vs. GM war continues to rage in a theater of Kangaroo meat and toilets that flush counter-clockwise. In order to give Holden (aka GM) a kick in the Down Under, Ford Australia recently dropped a load of forced induction all over its delectable Falcon GT. Unfortunately there are no cosmetic updates because all the money was spent on the...

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 11:09 AM PDT

Found over on Robo Steel's website (thank God for the internet), here are some Transformers that you can actually own. Before you read any further, you should know that acting fast is key here, because both versions of the 60-cm Optimus Prime are sold out at €280 each. Don't worry, the €5,500 2.5-meter version is still available (whew). Now...


MTM Massages the Audi RS5, Top Speed Increased to 303km/h (188mph)

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 10:07 AM PDT

In one of its more 'lighter' tuning proposals, MTM has released details on its new line of performance upgrades for the Audi RS5 coupe. Instead of fiddling around with the RS5's 450HP V8 engine to increase the car's top speed, the German tuning simply reprograms the factory electronic speed limiter of 250km/h or 280 km/h, allowing the coupe to...


BREAKING: Toyota Working on Four-Door Coupe Sedan of FT-86!

*While realistically done (props to me), the above image is just an MS Paintbrush creation According to the great barrier mill, our friends at Toyota are working it out on a four-door coupe variant of the rear-wheel drive FT-86, which was shown in concept form at last year's Tokyo Motor Engine Salon Show, just outside Japan, south west north of...

A show car version of the new Cruze hatchback will be Chevrolet's star attraction at this year's edition of the Paris motorshow, which kicks off on September 30.
