Remember that carbon fibery goodness from Mansory we talked about a while back? Well, this... is not related at all. It is as matte black as charcoal so that's something. Oh, and it's a Lamborghini Murcielago – a bit outdated, a bit crude and essentially, a timeless icon.
For this one, SR Auto apparently needed some

It's common knowledge that muscle cars excel in power and grunt where they lack in suspension and control. And that, can ruin the whole car for some enthusiasts. Luckily, there these guys known as aftermarket tuners. Some of them are official, like the ones that are behind the SRT8 brand. So take this Dodge Challenger SRT8 for example. It has 431 PS and an adaptive damper system – powerful and sophisticated. But at KW Automotive think they can do

Lexus IS F CCS-R has finished second in its class at its first attempt at Pikes Peak hill climb. The Lexus team had run over a 20-kilometre course consisting of 156 turns - concluding at 14,110 feet above sea level.
In fact, it is interesting to assume that the thin air at the summit of Pikes Peak robs vehicles of almost 30 per cent of engine power. However, the pilot behind the wheel - US racer Ken Gushi, has completed the feat in 11 minutes, 35.17 seconds. This made him second in class behind a lightweight V12

So that's what the big Audi surprise is. A tag team on the Pikes Peak climb that consists of an RS5 and a Ducati Multistrada 1200 – a celebration of the two franchises' coming together (Audi buying Ducati). A union then, between the sensible Germans and the passionate Italians – always a recepie for a success.
Here's an energetic clip that showcases the representatives. To an everyday normal person, the Ducati is essentially a bike. To us however, it is some sort of a strange car that's been

More pictures of the Overfinch Range Rover GTS-X have been relased so we can safely say that it's now official.
If we manage to neglect the fact that the GTS-X is orange, we might have the chance to appreciate it's other, more prominent features. Take the wheels for example – 22'' forged “Titan” alloys, beefed up Brembo vented and drilled 380 mm disks, a lowering module and an integrated roof spoiler.
Inside, the seats are all black leather with carbon fiber patches and a contrast oran

Starting off with a redesigned grille, Honda accent on the sporty DNA of the family. That way the hood with its many lines and curves is also being complemented. Further back to the sides, a sense of emotion comes largely from the distinc

Great news! The Jaguar F-Type – the first sportish car Jaguar have made in a long time – is coming at us this fall. We already saw it camouflaged at the 2012 Goodwood festival of speed but now, the aluminum 2-seater will be completely revealed at the Paris Motor Show on the 27th of September.
Curiously enough, the F-Type will be available as an open top only and there will be a choice in power – 340 PS or 380 PS. Both figures are coming from Jaguar's all-new 3.0-liter supercharged V6. The

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 is probably the best GT car in the world. It is powered by an enormous naturally aspirated V12 in the front, rear wheel drive and perfect weight distribution. All this combined with the unmatched style and beauty of Ferrari.
However, Afzal Kahn reworked a lot of elements of this “perfect” vehicle.
The exterior boasts nice Nero Daytona paint and a complete aerodynamics package including new front and rear bumpers, wing shields and yellow brake calipers. There are also other upgrades
