Although the company has been pushing the new Challenger as a muscle car with the images and video of its range-topping SRT8 model, which generates 425hp and 420lb-ft of torque from its 6.1L Hemi V8, it turns out the Challenger will be...

Initial testing showed that even simple mods such as adding new wheels or breathing mods makes the ECU go haywire, but it appears Japan’s tuners have now cracked the code. Some of the big firms such as Mines, HKS and Top Secret are starting to fill their... Full article...

We brought you another shattered GT-R in Hong Kong in early January, and a GT-R fender bender a few days later in Shibuya Tokyo. An Autoblog tipster just sent us a link to yet another bashed-up GT-R in Malaysia. As a purely objective observation, the latest incident does a decent job of demonstrating the integrity of the Nissan GT-R's safety cage. Too bad it's at the expense... Full article...

The new Hyundai hybrid vehicle will be called the ‘Avante’ and it will arrive by the middle of next year. In 2010, Hyundai will follow it up with a second midsize hybrid model and eventually a fuel-cell model in 2012. While hybrids have been around for years, Hyundai is predicting large...

We suspect the diminutive hatch won’t be 007’s primary mode of transport. Instead we envisage it being used in a similar fashion to the Ford Mondeo’s appearance in Casino Royale, a hire car Bond used to travel from an airport. You can catch a glimpse of the 2009 Ka right now in... Full article...

When trying to launch a brand, especially an upscale brand, it's not advisable to rebadge existing models and crank up the price. It doesn't seem to matter how good the car is, or how swanky the new $10-million-a-pop showroom is, once an Altezza, always an Altezza, and paying 20 percent more for the same car with a different logo is rightfully...

It seems that the Korean car company has already sent Universal a bright red Genesis Coupe SE powered by the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This news lends some credence to our opinion that the turbo mill will likely be the tuner's choice, though the big six cylinder is likely to be... Full article...
