Main > Car Makers News > Bentley > Bentley Boys S3 design study This ominous, retro-inspired design study is the creation of automotive engineer Arturo Alonso from Bentley Boys USA and is tipped to enter production if it receives enough interest. Alonso and his team are planning to build just three cars, each at a cost of $150,000, at a the painstaking slow rate of just one every eight months and plans to promote them to possible buyers in cities like Dubai, New York and Moscow. The car is styled after the original Bentley S3 from the 1960s and includes the same... Full article...

Unfortunately for displacement-heads, that’s not the case. Still, the motor shared with the G35 sedan provides plenty of power for daily duties. Easing 303hp from its 3.5L V6, the FX35 comes up only 87hp short of its 5.0L V8 brother. Both come standard with seven-speed automatic that can optionally be... Full article...

Outlander sounds akin to "Rough Rider," or maybe something closer to Dodge's rugged Durango or Jeep's Wrangler. However, there's nothing rough about the Outlander. The engine is so quiet that I didn't know it was running when I first got behind the wheel. The 2008 model has one of those electronic keys that you don't have to insert in the ignition. Just have it on you or in the car, then... Full article...

What is to like about this situation? Actually, for those of us involved in the auto industry, the short-term pain may bring some long-term gain. For amid all the gloom and doom, there could be a bright side for the U.S. auto industry and for Michigan itself. The steep decline of the dollar against the euro has... Full article...

That range "is looking to be a more reasonable and realistic view," Randy Pflughaupt, vice president for marketing at Toyota Motor Sales USA, said at the auto show. At the start of the year, the Japanese automaker had predicted the market would be flat in 2008, with sales totaling... Full article...

Being a little vehicle it has 218 horsepower which is unbelievable for a tiny one like this. The 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is turbocharged. Being designed as a racing car from the beginning Mini Cooper still has fog lights, but its bumper was remodeled and got deeper providing more aerodynamics to the car. The wheels got some tuning. You can see low-profile run flat tires on 17-inch wheels. These super light weight wheels were... Full article...

We won't spoil the top-of-the-list surprise for you, but of course, as with all of these things, some of the placings could be a little controversial. At least until one realizes that there haven't really been that many F1 drivers in the 62-year history of the sport. Still, Mika Hakkinen at #10 in front of Michael Schumacher at #11 strikes us as somewhat odd. And Barrichello and Button... Full article...

The all-new 2009 FX50 will not share the showroom floor with a rumored "FX37." Instead, Infiniti has chosen to keep the less-powerful sibling designated as the "FX35." That means the engine is the award-winning VQ35HR right out of the Infiniti G35 sedan -- not the sweet 3.7-liter 330-hp gem from the G37 Coupe. Under the hood of the FX, the slightly smaller six-cylinder is rated at 303 hp down just a few horses from the sedan's... Full article...

Crash safety ratings are a big selling point – who's going to buy a car with just two stars? In pursuit of salable collision performance, automakers have turned to stronger metals and better construction, and consumers can reap the benefit by choosing from a panoply of highly rated vehicles. A problem arises, however, if that safety design is ever called upon to perform. Lots of vehicles now sport high strength steel in critical areas like roof pillars, and while it certainly helps protect... Full article...
