New Audi TT GT4 Concept with 340HP comes to Life at DTM Race in Shanghai

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 06:37 AM PST

When we saw the Ginetta G55 GT4 class racecar, we were impressed. Packing a potent 370HP engine at an affordable price, it's good looking, too, even though for obvious reasons that matters a lot less in the world of motorsports. Now, Audi also wants a piece of the GT4 action. On the occasion of the DTM race in Shanghai, the German automaker...

Fiat's Split Into Two Groups Results in New Logos

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 06:05 AM PST

In about a month's time, on the 1st of January 2011, Italy's Fiat will have completed the separation of its truck and tractor business from its car making operations. The split will result in the creation of two separate groups; Fiat SpA with a clear focus in the automobile sector, and Fiat Industrial SpA incorporating the firm's truck, commercial...

Check with the mechanic who will give the inspection. I believe that
having only one error code will pass.
Mine did a couple of years ago.

VIDEO: 7.4-liter V8-Powered Polaris ATV from Hell

Posted: 28 Nov 2010 07:46 AM PST

In general, Polaris is regarded as one of the best ATV makers in the world. However, not everyone agrees with their engine choices. For example, these folks had the crazy idea of fitting a GM-sourced 454 cui (7.4 liters) big block V8 on one of the firm's four-wheelers, thus creating the ATV from Hell. The Chevy engine with the dual Holley...

When I scan my altima I get knock sensor circuit
malfunction. That is the only code I read. Car runs
great and no check engine light. Will it pass NY
inspection with this code ?
Thanks,
Joe

Honda CR-Z Roadster Die-cast Begs the Question; Should it Become a Reality?

Posted: 27 Nov 2010 05:01 PM PST

From what we know, Honda has no official plans to build a roadster version of its CR-Z hybrid coupe. But that hasn't stopped others from trying - even if in this case, we're talking about a scaled down die-cast model. Too bad we couldn't find any additional pictures of the toy-sized model, and especially of the rear end. If you happen to have any...

Booth Ladies of the 2010 Essen Motor Show

Posted: 27 Nov 2010 01:50 PM PST

Sharing the spotlight with myriads of modified production and concept cars at this year's edition of the Essen motor show in Germany, are the booth professionals, which are always strategically placed to draw the attention of the male crowd. Below you will find a photo collection of some of the ladies of this year's tuning show, which runs from...

Top Tips for Safe Winter Driving in the Snow and Ice

Posted: 27 Nov 2010 10:57 AM PST

Every year, as snowfall begins, YouTube gets flooded with videos showing cars out of control crashing into everything and people trying to stop their runaway vehicles by pulling them with their hands - not a very a smart idea. While there are moments when Mother Nature is simply unstoppable, a few winter driving tips can make your life much more...

Video: Audi Quattro Concept Meets up with 1984 Quattro Coupe

Posted: 27 Nov 2010 08:54 AM PST

At this year's Paris Auto Show in October, Audi celebrated the original 1980s Quattro's 30th anniversary by unveiling the Quattro Concept. Soon after, rumors started flowing around that Audi plans to develop a production version of the sports car, which is loosely based on the RS5 Coupe's architecture using a modified version of the RS3 Sportback...

Jaguar XJC Coupe Classic Seeks Hip Cat to Pose Alongside

Posted: 27 Nov 2010 07:49 AM PST

Every car enthusiast has their obsessions. For some it's '50s Chevys or '30s Fords; for others it's Chargers or Beamers or just about anything else you can think of. For me, it's Jaguars. I don't know why exactly. Could it be because they're big, affordable British luxury cars with sporting pretensions? You know, Bentleys for the upper middle...

2010 Essen Motor Show: Brabus Mercedes SLS AMG Widestar

Posted: 27 Nov 2010 06:41 AM PST

For most people, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 'Gullwing' looks just fine in factory tune. But not for Brabus. The German tuning house chose this week's Essen Motor Show to present its "wide-body" take on the Gullwing model. The aero package is called Widestar and it encompasses a front spoiler, a rear apron with a new diffuser, blistered rear wheel...
