Here’s all you need to know about the Lamborghini Reventon Roadster. You have a one in five-hundred million chance of being killed by a meteor, and a one in seven-hundred million chance of owning a Reventon Roadster. Any questions? And yeah, it costs around $1.6 million dollars and Lambo’s... 

There are a few things Maserati could do to make the GranTurismo look better than it does, but not many. One option is to surround it with unspeakably beautiful women. Another is to remove the roof. Thankfully, they opted for both here in Frankfurt, where the Trident marque took the wraps off the... 

Perhaps with conspicuous consumption falling out of favor, you’re looking to downsize from your Phantom. Perhaps you’re Kanye West and you feel the need to lower your public profile, but you don’t want to give up your Roller’s famously coddling ride. Well, B-list celebrities... 

While today might be the middle of September, 2009, Volkswagen is looking to the future. 2013 to be exact. That’s when Chairman Martin Winterkorn says they’ll be launching the E-Up!, an all-electric city specialist. The E-Up!’s killer app is the lightweight lithium-ion battery that... 

While everybody and their brother likes the R8, there is a small, but vocal minority that’s always thought coupe looked a little funny. Not “fugly” mind you, just a tad… off. We’ve heard the term “porpoise skull” bandied about. Well, that group of naysayers... 

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is intended to redress the awkwardness – and low volumes – of the McLaren Mercedes SLR. Based on a first look at it, the supercoupe’s chances are very good. That door handle is down by one’s shins, but overcome that low hurdle and the reward is a cozy trip to... 

Aston Martin doesn’t have a great track record with four-doors. After acquiring Lagonda in 1948, the legendary David Brown took the DB4 – which bore his initials – and turned it into the Lagonda Rapide. Only 55 examples were ever made. A decade and a half later, the first name came back as... 

Here in the velvet-roped-off Autoblog section of the Frankfurt Motor Show press room, opinions are split over the styling of the new Ferrari 458 Italia. While some of us are enamored of the supercar’s svelte shape, others….well let’s just say they’re more fond of Ferraris... 

Those with a passion for torque were disappointed when it became clear that Audi was unlikely to ever build a production version of the R8 V12 TDI that was shown at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. Now the automaker has come back with a new R8-based concept that puts the diesel to shame. The new e-tron packs... 

The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo took a whirl on the plinth and we have to admit it doesn’t look the least bit absurd standing in person. We completely forgot to be offended at the fact we’re being handed this instead of the perfectly fantastic 5 Series Sport Wagon. At least, until we played... 

We warned you the specs would be “staggering.” And really that’s all you need to know. Fine, we’ll tell you a little more. First of all, despite the gumption, it’s not a diesel. The Mulsanne generates all that thrust barely off-idle from a gasoline-powered 6.75-liter twin-turbo... 

Some automakers celebrate their birthdays with special editions. Some celebrate with big parties. Mini has celebrated its 50th anniversary at the Frankfurt Motor Show with not one, but two new performance-oriented models. Now that’s more like it. Okay, so they also unveiled a couple of special...
