The consonant quality of this car, from the moment you turn the key to the moment you gratefully leave it in the chiropractor's parking lot, is a wanton and cheerful disregard for finesse and delicacy. This is exactly right. You have to understand, after four... Full article...

Before I could muster an answer to my 17-year-old daughter's question, she spotted a new Ford Mustang. "That's a cool car, too," she said, as I drove her to school one morning. There followed a brief and poorly received lecture from me on why a powerful rear-wheel-drive sports model is probably not the best choice for a teenager's first car. Further efforts to ascertain what makes the Mustang and Camaro "cool" in a 17-year-old's opinion did not reveal much. But the... Full article...

A very simplified way to look at General Motors Corp.'s HCCI engine is to think of it as the old engine knocking. Remember turning off your car and listening to the engine still running in that clunk, clunk kind of way? Instead of using a sparkplug to ignite the fuel, the heat trapped in the cylinder and pressure created by the piston pushing up would ignite the remaining fuel. It was never a pleasant experience as it sputtered and coughed. For decades, GM has been... Full article...

Still, some people want even more, and John Hennessey hopes to provide it. Hennessey built his reputation as a high-performance car tuner with his version of the Dodge Viper. He's branched out into other makes and models and recently launched his spin on the new Camaro. Tuning cars, said Hennessey, was "a hobby that got out of control" for 15 years. But five...

The ‘Sprit’ is one such vehicle which carries style along with substance and elegant aerodynamic design with emission-free travel making it a wonderful and practical blueprint for all the vehicles which...

The UK publication had the slick blue hot hatch for an exclusive photo shoot, the embargo for which apparently lifted as the clock struck midnight GMT this evening. So, what do our friends across the pond get? Well, the Scirocco R features the Audi S3's 265-horsepower variant of the near-ubiquitous 2.0 TFSI engine, which sends power to the front wheels...

The Saab luxury sedan goes asymmetric in design, pushing the driver a bit ahead of the first seat passenger. Windscreen on the four-seater concept follows the asymmetry and creates a bubble around the driver’s head. Doors on the concept also follow asymmetry; the passenger side has one large door, while the... Full article...

The brand is far from cars, and designers usually build upon the designs of established car corporations and follow the design language. The designer’s interpretationfor the Fiole concept is a luxury sports car with a 2+2 seating arrangement. The design looks good, and is based on the black-white contrast so prevalent with Chanel. She has created quite a car; we’re tempted to make parallels with the Batmobile, but... Full article...

The crossover with a hybrid powertrain has exteriors designed to create an illusion of perpetual motion, much like the way water flows around the hull of a boat. The exterior creates the effect of a tall, premium urban vehicle. Interiors have a blue acrylic theme, the center stack and ambient lighting are blue as well. Fabric on the seats comes from recycled soda bottles. The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.4-l... Full article...

It gets a front mounted electric engine for power, but the most striking part of the design is its use of Neon lights, for not just a flashy body, but even for headlamps and tail lights. The lights run across the length of the body, making it easily recognizable at night, but the job they do as headlights is most likely not very useful. More so... Full article...
