Created by Jason Castriota, it is built on the ZR1, with Italian influence clearly visible in the design. Unveiled at Shanghai, the car saves 100 kgs in weight by the extensive use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber and magnesium. Improvements in aerodynamics see the car getting 25% less drag and 30% more downforce as compared to a stock Z1. The car tops at 217 mph and 62mph from zero comes in a lightning fast 3.2 seconds.

"We've paid for our show stand," said Bentley engineering chief Ulrich Eichhorn as we sat in the back of a Continental Flying Spur to escape the heat and the noise of the first media day at Auto Shanghai 2009. All four Bentleys on display -- the Flying Spur, a Continental GT Speed and GTC Speed, and an Arnage -- had been sold to eager Chinese buyers by 2pm.A few minutes earlier, Rolls-Royce boss Tom Purves had announced the new "small" Rolls-Royce would be called the Ghost, and...

Most of these cars provide plenty of power to go along with a supple ride, and in many cases, superb handling.Most cars in this class are 4-door sedans, but there are wagons available, as well as a...

For hundreds of thousands of new vehicle buyers, small or midsize simply doesn't cut it. They need maximum everything--from space to haul up to eight people and all their gear to towing a party boat--the only choice is a large SUV.Around the turn of the century, large SUVs enjoyed large amounts of success in the marketplace, selling more than 1 million units annually.

In a recent comparison, we ranked the XF above its BMW, Benz and Lexus competitors. It was a serious contender for the 2009 Car of the Year. Despite the occasional niggle, we're enamored of the Jag sedan.Now, with the 2010 Jaguar XFR, the crew in Coventry has gone and made the XF even better. The hottest XF gets more power, but at no loss in fuel economy. It's... Full article...

Then the most dismal financial crisis since the Great Depression brought down sales of virtually everything else, from pickups to Priuses to iPods.Amid the mayhem, General Motors delayed the production CTS coupe to at least summer 2010, three years into the life cycle of the sedan on which it is based.

And aside from all-wheel drive and direct fuel injection and turbocharging and fine styling, Audi is also good at building lots of luxury and refinement into its compact sedans and wagons.That brings us to the all-new 2009 Audi A4. Indeed, Audi is much better known for the compact, luxurious A4 than its larger offerings like the A8 and Q7, which can explain why this compact represents nearly half of all Audis sold in the U.S.The 2009 A4...

Yet, it was the deft combination of power and utility that made the hatchback irresistible. The 2010 Mazdaspeed3, fortunately, relies on much of the previous generation's hardware -- engine included -- but gains Mazda's smiley-face aesthetics, an updated suspension and driveline, and reworked electronics to improve upon an already stout platform.As with the standard Mazda3, Mazda's "Nagare" design language is apparent...
