However, it appears that Ford will be making more Mustang news before the 2010s even hit the showroom floors. At the live unveiling of the 2010 Ford Mustang last week, we thought we caught Mark Fields hinting at the possibility of more Mustang news coming out of the Detroit Auto Show this January. Sure enough, we watched the unveiling again on Speed TV and listened... Full article...

If you're one of those people, you're no doubt trying to think of what to buy your spouse or friend who has everything. If that person truly does have everything, that means there's a Nissan GT-R sitting in their garage, and the only thing missing is a Limited Edition Nissan GT-R Toolbox from Snap-On. While we don't yet know the price of this collector's storage box, we do... Full article...

Some sacrilegious blend between Heaven and Hell where they get chopped up into little bits, but are then given a chance to give other supercars a new lease on life. One such Nissan GT-R met its demise far too young in its life. With only 4,000km on the odometer, some fool t-boned it and it was a goner. In came Australian motorsport outfit Just Jap Racing, who took the wrecked GT-R and cut it down to use as for spare parts for their racing program. Not quite the first... Full article...

I just don't know. Unlike the Porsche time, we have video evidence of Toshio Suzuki setting a 7:29.03sec lap and he is super-committed. In fact it's a brilliant piece of driving. But I just don't see where another 27 seconds comes from with the car I drove Ten, perhaps -fifteen with a set of those gummy Dunlops fitted, Suzuki-san driving, using his sublime skills and telepathic knowledge of the car's handling traits. I felt I came much closer to extracting... Full article...

In contrast to an earlier report that Nissan means to remove Launch Control from the 2010 GT-R, the blog on Motor Trend’s is saying that no assessment has been made at this point and the same is heard from Nissan itself.The lager point that Motor Trend goes on to demonstrate is that the GT-R is still totally fast even without...

Porsche is calling this a four-door grand touring sports car rather than a coupe or sedan. According to the Stuttgart-based brand, the Panamera combines traditional Porsche dynamic behavior with a spacious interior and GT comfort. Unfortunately, they seem to have left an... Full article...

The Nissan GT-R set the 'Ring on fire back in April with a single lap of 7:29. That news didn't go over well in Germany, where team Porsche insinuated that Nissan cheated by using a non-standard GT-R to achieve the supersonic time. Porsche even took a bone-stock GT-R to the 'Ring and its chief test track driver could only manage a 7:54. Nissan defended its time as legit and has provided solid evidence to support its case, but Porsche established enough doubt for Drivers Republic to bring a GT2 and GT-R... Full article...

Contrary to a previous report that Nissan intends to drop Launch Control from the 2010 GT-R, Motor Trend's blog is reporting that no decision has been made yet and we've heard the same thing from Nissan itself. The bigger point that MT goes on to make is that even without Launch Control, the GT-R is still brutally fast. When the magazine got its first... Full article...
