New Mercedes CLS Grand Edition
Here we have the new CLS Grand Edition special-edition model from Mercedes-Benz. I guess the boys from Stuttgart are doing special editions now (oh boy). Essentially the CLS Grand Edition is a matte exterior paint job and lots and lots of leather on the inside. Not really stretching there, are they, and yet another reason [...]
Huet Brothers Special
This is surprising to see in the year 2009: A limited production run sport special. In this case, it’s a smart little roadster called the Huet Brothers Special. The Huet Brothers are a pair of Dutch brothers who, in addition to making this special, also run classic rallies and tours across Europe, so it’s pretty [...]
2010 Shelby GT500 Gets Serious
Ford released new information and images of the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 to be debuted at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show.

Hyundai Genesis Superbowl Ad Photos
Our friends from GenesisForums.org got their hands on some still production photos of the upcoming Superbowl ad featuring the long-awaited Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The rear-wheel-drive Genesis Coupe will feature a 2.0-liter Turbo or 3.8-liter V6 engine. The V6 is expected to produce an impressive 310 horsepower, and pays special attention to keeping weight low. Plus, [...]
GM kills the Pontiac G8 ST. Unofficially.
It seems like this recent hope of reviving old brands has a limit. The Challenger, Camaro, and other retro-styled cars have made it through, but the El Camino apparently has not. The new Camino, in the form of the Pontiac G8 ST, caused a lot of eyebrows to be raised when it was first released. [...]
California Changes The Definition Of A Motorcycle
Seems that the golden state has decided to alter the definition of what is a motorcycle. What counts as a motorcycle in California? If it’s got two or three wheels, it’ll be a motorcycle. Period. Simple, no? There used to be a weight limit on three-wheeled vehicles in Cal, anything above a certain weight, and [...]
First Look at Nissan’s GT-R Spec-V
We’ve been waiting for this since the GT-R was first released. Finally, we get a few details on the upcoming Nissan GT-R SpecV – the modified big brother to the already super-fast GT-R. Before we get into specs, you need to realize what this upgrade really means. If the GT-R is called Godzilla, then the [...]
Sit in a Ferrari F430 Spider Scuderia at Home!

Supercharged Lotus Evora On The Way With At least 350hp
This is just too good to pass up and not mention, Lotus makers of all things light and tossable, have already announced a variant for their upcoming, but not-out-to-the-public Evora 2+2. Boasting an output of at least 350 horsepower, the Evora variant will use the same 3.5L Toyota-sourced V6 as the base model, only with [...]
