VIDEO: That's a Wrap! Ferrari F430 Spider gets the vinyl treatment
It can't really be that simple, can it? Well, it seldom is. But experts in any given field tend to have a knack for making complex procedures look deceptively simple. Take this video, for example, from Creative FX. The British firm specializes in vinyl wraps, and they make it look all too easy. Wraps are growing into a popular choice for exotic car owners looking to give their rides a new look. Rather than repainting the entire car, specialist shops like Creative FX apply what essentially amounts to giant decals. That's how most of the ... Read more →
VIDEO: Old Dirty Bastards - The glory of Group B Alex Nunez
You know, there's a reason people talk about Group B racing – and the drivers who participated in it – in practically hushed tones. After all, we're currently in an era where ...
Rendered Speculation: Ferrari 458XX developmental track-car Noah Joseph
Ferrari has stumbled upon one heck of a formula with its XX development programs. They've found that their most wealthy clients aren't just willing to help Maranello develop new components for ...
VIDEO: Helicopter chases two Lamborghini Gallardos around Los Angeles Jonny Lieberman
While not quite as in your groin face as Samuel L. Jackson's Snakes on a Plane, the following video is as honest in its title to content ratio. Yes, a camera crew in a helicopter follows two ...
VIDEO: Jay Leno drives the Allard J2X MkII Jonny Lieberman
It's not like we need another reason to be sickeningly jealous of Jay Leno, but along comes this video. In it Jay drives perhaps our favorite car from the 2009 LA Auto Show, the hugely lovely and ...
Breaking news:
GM responds to more Camaro transmission failure talk on enthusiast forum 2 days ago on Autoblog
Back in July, we first told you about a serious driveline issue that was cropping up in Chevrolet's new-for-2010 Camaro. In specific, output shafts were failing on V8 manual transmission SS models, a malady that was generally tied to hard launches or use of the car's launch control system. The ...
Aston Martin Rapide priced from £139,950 in the UK 2 days ago on Autoblog
Aston Martin has finally hung a price tag on its long-awaited four door, the Rapide, in its U.K. home market. As you might reasonably expect, it won't come cheap, starting at £139,950 or about $233,000 USD. Given pricing disparities between international markets, that's not necessarily an ...
LA 2009: Allard J2X MkII drops our jaw 2 days ago on Autoblog
Tucked away into the nookiest cranny of the LA Auto Show and literally parked behind a Morgan sits the Allard J2X MkII, perhaps the most breathtaking car in the joint. You nerds out there might be saying, "They dragged an admittedly concours-condition J2X out to Los Angeles? Big deal." Which is ...
LA 2009: Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder proves the devil is in the details 2 days ago on Autoblog
Where to even start? Oh right – that interior! With the possible exception of a couple of British-ish cars (BMW-owned Rolls-Royce Phantom, Volkswagen-owned Bentley Mulsanne, Tata-owned Jaguar XJ), no interior even comes close. And frankly, being honest, those luxo-barges just pale in ...
Lexus LFA to be sold in Europe through one dealership 2 days ago on Autoblog
We're not the vindictive types here at Autoblog, but we can appreciate some measure of poetic justice. After all, how many lustworthy European supercars were made available over the decades to any European buyer with enough cash on hand, but those same cars were scarcely available on this side ...
LA 2009: Custom "Mazdaspeed2" tops the fun-per-pound charts in LA 2 days ago on Autoblog
As cool as some of those custom Ford Fiestas are at the LA Auto Show, these even tidier Mazda2 customs really jumped out at us. Okay, maybe not all of the concepts so much as the "Mazdaspeed2" you see above. The Active2 Surf and Active2 Snow barely registered when we saw this green and grey fun ...
LA 2009: Galpin Motors makes up for Aston Martin no-show, brings the whole lineup 3 days ago on Autoblog
It's been a meager LA Auto Show this year for exotic cars. Many didn't even show up, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bentley. Aston Martin wasn't on the list as well, but to our surprise their full line of cars was on display. Apparently Galpin Motors decided to pick up the slack and ...
LA 2009: BMW ActiveHybrids get North American debut; 7 Series model priced from $103,125 3 days ago on Autoblog
BMW took advantage of California's proclivity for greenwashing to give its ActiveHybrid models their North American debuts at the LA Auto Show. Just for good measure they also brought along the incredible Vision Efficient Dynamics sustainable supercar concept. While we know a great deal about ...
LA 2009: Land Rover brings Autobiography package to 2010 Range Rover Sport 3 days ago on Autoblog
We can't figure out exactly what the name Autobiography is supposed to convey, but Land Rover seems to think it's a fitting name to put on its top-of-the-line Range Rover models. Last year, they pulled the wraps off the Range Rover Autobiography at the British Motor Show, and this week at the ...
LA 2009: Lexus LFA wireframe cutaway wows us 3 days ago on Autoblog
Wow. Lexus brought their new LFA supercar to the LA Auto Show this year. That might not seem particularly wow-worthy, but it definitely becomes more surprising when you hear that they actually brought an LFA and a half. While a white LFA was happily humming along, spinning slowly on a rotating ...
LA 2009: Subaru Impreza WRX STI Special Edition is sportier, less expensive 3 days ago on Autoblog
So often, the tag of "Special Edition" comes with a not-so-special price increase. Fortunately for Subaru fans, the newly-introduced Impreza WRX STI Special Edition is actually less costly. At $32,995 it's actually $2,000 cheaper than the base price of the standard STI. Of course, buyers of ...
LA 2009: Mini owns its inner Bulldog 3 days ago on Autoblog
Mini may be many things, but stuffy they're not. When your business consists of selling tiny hatchbacks with sports car handling at a near luxury price, you really can't take yourself too seriously all the time. Mini ad campaigns have capitalized on that cheeky spirit to great effect. While at ...
Mercedes and McLaren bid farewell to SLR, each other 3 days ago on Autoblog
When the end of one's life approaches, individuals are prone to reflect and wonder how they'll be remembered. A car, on the other hand, can't think for itself, so we'll have to take up the task in its stead. A joint effort between Mercedes-Benz and its erstwhile Formula One racing partner ...
LA 2009: Audi R8 Spyder is shown again, this time in red 3 days ago on Autoblog
This isn't the first time we've seen the drop-top Audi R8 Spyder. Images were leaked in early September, and we were there in Frankfurt for its official debut. That said, its unveiling at the LA Auto Show was less than climactic... other than the fact the Spyder was sporting a flashy bright-red ...
REPORT: Chevrolet Cruze SS being pushed for hard by company insiders 4 days ago on Autoblog
Still mourning the death of Chevrolet's pint-sized pocket rocket, the Cobalt SS? According to a report from Motor Authority, you're not alone, and a number of those fellow fans come from right inside Chevrolet's own hallways. This begs the question: With the Cruze set to replace the aging Cobalt ...
LA 2009: MINI Coupe & Roadster Concepts are so LA 4 days ago on Autoblog
Mini brought its birthday presents to itself out to the LA Auto Show for their North American debut today. The Cambden and Mayfair were there, but we spent a lot more time ogling the Coupe and Roadster. As you may recall, Mini created these two sports cars to celebrate its 50th anniversary and ...
LA 2009: 2011 Ford Mustang V6 on show floor with little fanfare 4 days ago on Autoblog
You would think that with all of the new powertrain improvements to the 2011 Mustang V6 that Ford would be making a big deal about the car here at the LA Auto Show. Not so. While the Fiesta display took up nearly a third of the West hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, a sole V6-powered ...
LA 2009: Porsche debuts lightweight 2011 Boxster Spyder 4 days ago on Autoblog
Porsche rolled out the 2010 Boxster Spyder, the third model in the Boxster lineup, for its world debut at the LA Auto Show, with an entirely new look and – we are led to believe – a driving personality nearly on par with the 911 GT3 RS. Hidden deep and low in the belly of the ...
LA 2009: Dodge Viper enters final year with tweaks and first two limited-edition models 4 days ago on Autoblog
The 2010 model year marks the last run of the 600-hp Dodge Viper. To keep performance (and consumer interest) high for the next 12 months, the automaker is adding new colors, enhancing performance and releasing several limited-edition models. Standard Viper SRT10 models receive two new ...
VIDEO: Lexus LFA illicitly investigated by fanboy in secret warehouse 4 days ago on Autoblog
If Motor Mavens legitimately got a call from a well-placed friend and truly snuck in to fiddle with a $400,000 car that's ostensibly in trustworthy care, we apologize, but it smells really staged from here. It doesn't matter, though, the LFA looks fantastic in this video, and the LCD gauges are ...
What Price One-Upmanship? 2011 Bentley Mulsanne available from $285,000 4 days ago on Autoblog
With a starting price of $285,000, Bentley's newest flagship model won't come cheap. Nor should it, with its 505-horsepower, 725 lb-ft, gasoline-fed 6.75-liter V8 engine sitting behind the automaker's trademark mesh grille and four round lights. Also included in that price will be an eight-speed ...
LA 2009: Cadillac CTS Coupe vogues, dazzles 5 days ago on Autoblog
Cadillac invited us down to a dance hall south of downtown Los Angeles and the convention center for a little lunch and a lot of talk concerning their new CTS Coupe. In fact, they brought a CTS Coupe along with 'em. A production CTS Coupe we should point out. The exact same car you'll be able to ...
Maserati rolls out limited edition GranTurismo for Middle East 5 days ago on Autoblog
If you thought Rolls-Royce had cornered the market on special editions for the Middle East, Maserati would like you to think again. But only if you've got a big wad of cash and actually, you know... live in the Middle East. The Italian automaker just took the wraps off a limited edition of ...
Spy Shots: BMW M3 caught with new LED taillamps 5 days ago on Autoblog
Just a couple of years into its run, this is your slightly revised BMW M3, free of camo save for the taillights. The photog on the scene said there is nothing we should expect from the next Munich mauler save for new LED lamps in back and an updated interior. We speculate that cabin changes will ...
VIDEO: The Mustang skates in latest episode of Unleashed 6 days ago on Autoblog
Though we all owned skateboards in our younger years, we can admit that we were never really any good at riding them. That doesn't mean we didn't fantasize about all the great stunts we wished we could perform. And were there any among us who don't remember sitting in the back seat of a car ...
REPORT: Tata Motors back in the black as Jaguar/Land Rover fortunes improve 6 days ago on Autoblog
While many confusing car-related things have happened in the upper strata of the Autoverse over the last few years (Aston Martin and Ferrari both being impart owned by Middle Eastern concerns, Aston Martin not being bankrupt) perhaps the most shocking and disconcerting was Ford's sale of Jaguar ...
Flight of the Alcador: Franco Sbarro unveils Ferrari Testarossa-based Lista Office in Essen 6 days ago on Autoblog
If you thought that last remaining piece of lasagna at the food court looked iffy, remember that's not even the most suspicious concoction to bear the Sbarro banner. Franco Sbarro rivals even his fellow Swiss coachbuilder Rinspeed for his, um... "originality." Recent examples have included a ...
Back to the Future: 1969 Danz Camaro concept goes the wrong direction 6 days ago on Autoblog
There's really nothing wrong with the first-generation Chevy Camaro, except perhaps for the fact that rows upon rows of them can be seen at every single car show in America. In fact, so ubiquitous is the 1969 model that there are a couple of aftermarket companies willing to build you a brand ...
Classic Recreations reveals specs of Shelby GT500CR Mustang 6 days ago on Autoblog
Earlier this month during SEMA, Oklahoma-based Classic Recreations announced that it had scored a licensing deal with Carroll Shelby to build a continuation version of the legendary Shelby Mustang GT500. At the time of the announcement, we didn't know much about the car, aptly named the ...
Gah!x2: Kicherer Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG rendered 7 days ago on Autoblog
To put it kindly, we'll call the attempts to tune the appearance of the Mercedes SLS AMG gilding the lily. Although the folks at Kircherer were obviously not doing the same amount or potency of drugs procured by the gents at MEC Design, they have still managed to disturb the lines of a car that ...
VIDEO: BMW M1 in mule-style camo? 7 days ago on Autoblog
For the life of us, we can't figure this. BMWblog has posted a video of what surely looks like an O.G. BMW M1, dressed up in that ubiquitous swirlydelic camouflage du jour and parked on a Munich street. It's either a very clever gag being put on by someone, or something potentially awesome is ...
