| 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG Makes its Video Debut Posted: 14 Nov 2011 05:12 PM PST  So you've read the details and seen the pictures of the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG that was unveiled today in advance of its first public outing at this week's 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, if you're curious to see what it looks like on the move and how the new 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 518-ponies (or 550HP if you opt for the AMG Performance Package) sounds in the latest iteration of the ML, you'll be happy to know that Mercedes-Benz has released a five-minute long video, which you can watch below.

| Ford’s 600HP RS200 Evolution Group B Homologation Special up for Sale Posted: 14 Nov 2011 04:44 PM PST  Today's performance cars have engaged in an output war, trying to outdo each other with more and more horsepower. How does a 570HP Ferrari 458 Italia sound to you? Perhaps you would be more content with Lamborghini's 700HP Aventador? You may even prefer something less conspicuous, more luxurious and possibly faster like the Brabus 800 Coupe. Now, if you want something that is not only faster, but even more exclusive than the latest batch of supercars, you can buy one for just a fraction of the price. If you're badge conscious, forget about it. But if you're in it for the performance, you might consider something a little bit older from a company that built the Escort. Read more »

| SCOOP: BMW X6 Crossover to Receive an Injection of Botox-like Styling Upgrades Posted: 14 Nov 2011 03:32 PM PST  It's nip-and-tuck time for BMW's X6 sporty crossover that has been caught once again roaming the roads of Germany in very light camouflage.

| Game Over: Real Life Scooter Accident with a Super Mario Twist Posted: 14 Nov 2011 02:49 PM PST  What may be a painful incident for one person can be something to laugh about all day for another. Case in point, footage of a non-fatal accident between a careless motorcyclist riding a scooter and a barrier of flexible plastic poles, which has been edited to look like a Super Mario video game. Enjoy a quick laugh in the video that follows after the break. Read more »

| Report: Manual-Gearbox Supercars are Going the Way of the Dodo Posted: 14 Nov 2011 02:07 PM PST  Aside from the Prancing Horse emblem, the clearly defined open-gate gearbox with the chromed lever sprouting from within was Ferrari's second best distinguishable characteristic. With the introduction of the 2012 MY California, this tradition comes to an end, at least in the UK. From now on, Ferrari is offering its British customers only one choice in the transmission department: that of an automatic. Read more »

| SPIED: Is Ferrari Working on a Hotter California Model, Possibly a GTO Variant? Posted: 14 Nov 2011 01:04 PM PST  Ferrari's engineers have been working overtime in the past year as the Italian company has several new or updated models in the pipeline, including a replacement for the 599 GTB Fiorano that we scooped last week, a new flagship Enzo model and a mild facelift for the California. And if these fresh spy shots are anything to go by, Ferrari may also be readying a new addition to its California hardtop-roadster family.

| Feds Investigate Transmission Cable Problems in at Least Three GM Models Posted: 14 Nov 2011 12:10 PM PST  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA] said on Monday that it is widening a preliminary investigation that began with 23 complaints about the Saturn Aura sedan from the 2007 and 2008 model years, over a transmission cable issue that may deteriorate over time and fail. If this happens, the shift lever position may not match the car's actual gear. The safety agency said it is also looking to see if the same problem exists in at least two more GM models equipped with similar cable installations used on four-speed automatic transmissions, the 2004-2008MY Chevrolet Malibu and 2005-2008MY Pontiac G6.

| Video: Reckless Nissan Skyline Driver Drifts into Parking Spot Posted: 14 Nov 2011 09:14 AM PST  If we could somehow remove the…unsuspecting pedestrians who had to jump out of harm's way, we'd give the driver of this Nissan Skyline (possibly an R33 GTST Coupe) an A for the effort. But seriously, who in their right mind would do something like this on a public street full of people? Reckless to say the least. Skip over the jump to watch the clip. Read more »

| Subaru BRZ to Enter Japan's Super GT Racing Championship in 2012 Posted: 14 Nov 2011 08:21 AM PST  Even though it's been in the making for the past three years, up until recently and unlike Toyota and its FT-86, Subaru had released very few details about its version of the rear-wheel drive sports coupe, named the BRZ. Then all of a sudden, the Japanese company went from no news to a flood of information surrounding the BRZ. Read more »

| DP Motorsports Redoes a 1973 Porsche 911 in Carbon Fiber Posted: 14 Nov 2011 07:49 AM PST  There are tuning jobs and there are tuning jobs. Whereas some companies sprinkle a few accessories on their cars and call it a day, other tuners like DP Motorsports go the whole nine yards creating truly unique projects. The German firm's newest creation is a very special 1973 Porsche 911 (G-Model) that has been transformed in every possible way.

Ford wanted to create some buzz around the upcoming debut so the company decided to launch a Facebook page/app through which it would slowly reveal four pictures for every 5,000 "Likes" it received. At least that was the initial idea, because the fan boys over at Mustangevolution managed to get their hands on a clear version of the teaser shot providing us with a sneak peek of some of the changes that stand out on the 2013MY Ford Mustang.

| Formula 1: Abu Dhabi Race Results Posted: 14 Nov 2011 04:40 AM PST  Viewers of the penultimate race of the 2011 Formula 1 season were treated to a one-of-a-kind spectacle. And no, it's not that Sebastian Vettel didn't make it to the top spot of the podium, as this has already happened four more times this year. The novelty in Abu Dabhi wasn't even the fact that the world champion, who up to this point had finished no lower than fourth in any race, didn't score a single point. Read more »
