VIDEO: Top Gear UK has finally bred a New Stig

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 03:16 PM PDT

Top Gear UK can be considered an aristocrat among motoring shows. And, being the true blue-blooded Brits that they are, the cast spends time doing things that befit this privileged status. Real nobles have interesting hobbies like breeding horses. Top Gear UK takes this to a whole new level: it actually breeds its staff... Watch the videos after...


Transformers Film Ford Mustang Decepticon for Sale on eBay

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 02:15 PM PDT

Is US$130,000 a little too much to be paying for a Vin Diesel-driven Dodge Charger R/T? Do you think the home of the American muscle car is Dearborn? Is your DVD collection populated with Bad Boys and Pearl Harbour instead of xXx and Stealth? Carscoop hears you, and so does MotoeXotica of St. Louis. On eBay right now is the second of three...

Definitely take this with a grain of salt, but Autobild has published some allegedly official drawings of the facelifted 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class saloon. There's a possibility they may be sourced from some kind of promotional material, but they could also be faked - we're, just not sure. In any case, the sedan model pictured here appears to...

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 10:41 AM PDT

Made for those that find the GTI underpowered, the Golf R with its 270HP 2.0-liter turbo-four is the most potent and fastest-accelerating Golf ever to be produced by VW. Still, that's not enough for certain buyers that wouldn't mind a few extra ponies. And here's were tuners like MR Car Design come into the picture. Enter the tuning firm's new...


Slavche Tanevski Creates a Mercedes-Benz Electric Taxi For 2025

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 10:07 AM PDT

Outside of London's ubiquitous TX4, the purpose-built taxi is almost dead. Checker is long gone and Ford Crown Victorias now grace New York's congested streets. It's more to do with economics than anything else: why build something new and unique when you can modify an existing vehicle? In a similar vein to Volkswagen's Milano Taxi, independent...

Addio Murciélago: Lamborghini Celebrates End of V12 Supercar's Production

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 06:59 AM PDT

It's hard to believe, but the Murciélago has been around since 2001. Few, if any, will disagree with us when we say that Lamborghini's supercar still looks as fresh and is alluring as the first day it was introduced. But unfortunately, as good as it may be, all things come to an end. For the Raging Bull brand's most prominent member, the end came...

A little over a year after the presentation of the Vision EfficientDynamics [ED] concept study at the 2009 Frankfurt motor show, and following a month-long tease of what turned out to be an early prototype mule with the body of a 6-Series of the plug-in hybrid on the 'Dontblogaboutthis' website (see pictures below), BMW today officially confirmed...
