Ford Motor Co. maps to put on the market Focus compact car (a high-performance version of the redesigned in the U.S), the company said today. The automaker will make known the three production-ready body styles of the 2012 Ford Focus compact at the Paris motor show (going to be later this month). It... 

The Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo long wheelbase revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show today doesn’t add anything to the less well-endowed Alpina B7 we saw at Geneva except length, but isn’t that enough? The double-turbo’d 4.4-liter V8 brings 507 romping horsepower and 516 lb-ft. of torque –... 

Most people we talked with don’t seem to understand the point of the Subaru WRX STi Carbon unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show – but it’s a JDM-only car, and frankly, there are a lot of things that outsiders don’t understand about the Japanese market. The carbon-roofed A-Line will... 

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has taken so long to get to here we wouldn’t be surprised if Caravaggio did the original sketches. We wanted the car when we first saw it back in 6 B.C. We drove prototypes sometime around the Norman Conquest. And now it’s finally on the streets. It seems like... 

When Mansory wants to give it to us good, they know how. This is the Mansory Cyrus (Khouresh Mansory told us that Cyrus was the first king of Iran), and – even though every other colleague here disagrees with us – we feel it the best use of carbon fiber we’ve seen since we’ve been... 

Three years ago Melkus, the historic, East German race car builder, released renderings of a gullwing sports car they wanted to have ready in 2009. It always makes us happy to see the passionate guy make big plans and then get them achieved – on time even – and the Melkus RS2000 is the culmination... 

The seriously limited edition Porsche 911 Sport Classic — for Porsche, at least — makes our nostalgic tails wag, even though the gray exterior color is difficult to pin down and we couldn’t get over the feeling when we checked out the Espresso-hued internals that we were looking... 

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... 

As a testament to its range, the same company that brought you the evil blackness of the Vincero would like you to focus your attention here, on the Bentley Vitesse Rose. The full-on Mansory kit itself is fine. The pink-a-licious color its draped in, matched with the carbon fiber hood, is best digested... 

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... 

First, there was the Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition, soon followed by the Gemballa Mirage GT Gold Edition. And now, there’s a third version that’s just slightly different on the outside, but it’s the one we’d buy if we had a spare Porsche Carrera GT, an extra $300k in an...
