Posted: 10 Aug 2011 07:39 PM PDT  We've seen official teaser shots and unofficial video footage of the next generation of the 2012 Toyota Camry that give us a rough idea of what the North American market version will look like when it arrives in showrooms later this year,

| SPIED: Ferrari Continues Work on 599's Replacement Posted: 10 Aug 2011 06:27 PM PDT  After the launch of the 458 Italia and more recently, the four-seater FF, Ferrari is now concentrating on the development of its next supercar, which will replace the 599 GTB Fiorano and is currently known by its F152 codename.
Ferrari's four-seat supercar will also lend its new 6.3-liter V12 with direct-injection technology to the F152, but further honed to develop around 700 horsepower. However, we won't see the FF's all-wheel drive system as Ferrari will keep the F152 strictly rear-wheel drive. Read more »

| Bad Ass Ford Transit Powered by a 440HP BMW M5 V8 Posted: 10 Aug 2011 03:43 PM PDT  The European market Ford Transit van isn't exactly the first vehicle that springs to mind when it comes to drifting - at least not in stock form. Then again, the modded Transit you're about to enjoy burning a lot of rubber in the videos after the break is far from stock. This "Made in Poland" monster van packs the almighty 4.9-liter V8 engine from a BMW M5 E39, tuned to deliver around 440-horses, up from the standard model's 400HP. Read more »

| New Saab 9-3 to Debut in Early 2013 with a Different Name, 9-2 Successor Still on the Table Posted: 10 Aug 2011 01:53 PM PDT  Refreshingly enough, this isn't a story about Saab's troubles. Instead, it is a ray of hope as the Swedish carmaker lays out its plans for the future. These include a replacement for the aging 9-3 sedan, which according to Saab's North American president, Tim Colbeck, will debut in the first quarter of 2013. Read more »

| 2012 Toyota Camry Official Teaser Shot No2 Posted: 10 Aug 2011 01:20 PM PDT  Toyota is gearing up for the official reveal of its all-important 2012 Camry with the release of the second teaser photo this month. While the first image showed us the front end of the car, this latest picture gives us a cropped look at the next generation Camry's rear end with a clear view of the sedan model's tail lamps, which kind of remind the ones found on the Chrysler 200 (as always, feel free to agree or disagree in our comments section below).

| World's Longest Scooter Measures 22m – 72ft in Length and Can Carry 25 People Posted: 10 Aug 2011 12:56 PM PDT  A British plumber has built what he claims to be the world's longest scooter measuring an astonishing 22 meters or 72.2 feet in length, and all for the sake of getting into the Guinness Book of World Records. To create the monster scooter, Colin Furze of Lincolnshire, England, connected the front and rear ends of two 125cc mopeds to an extended aluminum frame adding enough seating in between for 25 passengers.

| Ford Green-Lights Next-Generation of Focus RS Posted: 10 Aug 2011 01:34 PM PDT  We've yet to see the next Focus ST in final production trim, but Ford's German vehicle line director for C-Segment models, Gunnar Herrmann, recently told Australian news site Drive that the company has given the green light for a high-performance RS version. Built in limited numbers, the previous Focus RS was a 305HP, front-wheel drive hot hatch that wouldn't look out of place in a WRC rally stage. Despite the fact that all that power was directed only to the front wheels, it handled extremely well partially thanks to Ford's RevoKnuckle suspension Read more »

| Posted: 10 Aug 2011 11:41 AM PDT  Last week, one of Google's Toyota Prius models equipped with the internet search giant's self-driving technology made headlines after it was involved in an accident near the company's Mountain View, California, Headquarters.
Turns out we were wrong about the crash being the first of its kind as Google spokesperson Jay Narrow contacted Carscoop and told us that last year, one of the firm's cars "was once rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light". Read more »

| Mazda’s Rotary Engine: Reports of its Demise Greatly Exaggerated? Posted: 10 Aug 2011 11:02 AM PDT  Much has been said and written about Mazda's rotary engine. The Hiroshima-based company is the last mass manufacturer who insists on using and developing Felix Wankel's internal combustion engine that has done away with pistons for close to five decades.

| SPIED: BMW's More Practical 2012 3-Series Touring Shows Up in Germany Posted: 10 Aug 2011 09:41 AM PDT  Being that not everyone wants a high-riding SUV to justify his or her needs for more space, BMW has been constantly offering a station wagon version of its most famous model series under the Touring nameplate since the E30 from the late 1980s.

| All-New Hyundai i30 Heading to the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show Posted: 10 Aug 2011 06:55 AM PDT  Hyundai plans to unveil a brand-new C-segment model to replace the first-generation of its i30 at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. Like the current model, the 2012 i30 is a product of Hyundai's design and engineering center in Russelsheim, Germany and is designed exclusively for the European market. Hyundai's European design boss Thomas Burkle says the i30's styling represents the next evolution of the firm's form language, 'fluidic sculpture'. What this means is that it shares a lot of common design features with Hyundai's more recent models like the ix20, the ix35, the Veloster and the i40. Read more »

| Subaru Teases Frankfurt-Bound XV Crossover Posted: 10 Aug 2011 06:18 AM PDT  From the moment we saw the XV Concept at the Shanghai Motor Show last April, we knew that it was a thinly disguised study of Subaru's new Impreza-based crossover.
