The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo differs from the Six Million Dollar Man in one crucial way; while it’s better, faster, stronger, it can also be much, much yellower if you prefer. However, the last thing you want to be is yellow if you plan to explore the Turbo’s capabilities. These 500 hp... 

BMW isn’t taking any chances with its reputation for dynamics with the 7 Series Active Hybrid. To its 449-hp and 479-lb-ft 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 heart it adds a 60-pound, 35-cell lithium-ion battery in the boot. The battery doesn’t take too much away from the trunk since it replaces... 

Mercedes is working to complete the circle, combining the frugality of its smallest A- and B-Class offerings with the luxury of its S-Class offerings. For the U.S. the S400 Hybrid began the earnest trek down that road, followed by the announcement of the four-cylinder S-Class, and at Frankfurt, Mercedes... 

Another show, another pair of special editions from Lotus. This time around it’s the Elise Club Racer and the Exige Cup 260, two lightweight specials based on the company’s core product range. We brought you details and photos of both a few weeks ago in the ramp-up to the show, but... 

The battle has been raging since time immemorial. From Point A to Point B, which is faster: a big exotic supercar or a nimble li;’ hatch? Fiat’s two performance divisions, Abarth and Ferrari, ask why you can’t have the best of both worlds with the new Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari. The... 

The Volkswagen R20 returns some brawn to the styling of the body Golf after a lengthy flirtation with smaller, svelter lines. And we, for one, are happy about it. Things get started right up front with the lower grille and it’s Audi-RS-and-R8-reminiscent openings and strakes. From there it’s... 

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... 

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... 

BMW hosted a lengthy press conference during which cars zoomed all around its raised track, and at the end the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept silently took the stage. It’s a glass-topped Hot Wheels with two engines, a deep dish seventies-looking steering wheel and matching contoured wheels.... 

Among the more intricate of Brabus’ creations is this, the E V12 “Black Baron.” Based on the latest E-Class, the dark lord is refitted with a twin turbo, 6.3-liter V12 with 800 hp and an electronically-limited 811 lb-ft (even though the engine actually produces 1,047 lb-ft), a ram-air... 

We’ve already seen a mini-preview of the Hyundai ix35 that will be on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a few weeks, but we’re arguably even more interested in the concept vehicles that the company is teasing today. The ix Metro and the i10 Electric will be in Germany to show off the...
