Gemballa has created some pretty over-the-top Porsche models in the last few years, but the Tornado 750 GTS takes the cake for overall visual impact and completely unnecessary amounts of horsepower. Using the Cayenne Turbo as a base, ...

European tuner Irmscher is branching out from Opels and Cadillacs if its latest project is any indication.

A few months ago, Hamann Motorsport previewed its tuning program for the Bentley Continental GT and GT Speed, and now they have released full details and photos. Dubbed "Imperator" (sorry, Isdera) Hamann's version of Bentley's coupe features an ...

As cool as owning an Audi R8 may be, the German supercar is becoming common enough that in tonier markets, you may just pass another one on your daily commute. Chances are you'll even pass one in the same color, which might ...

In a move sure to make shoulders slump and people ask "Why is this happening?", Mercedes will not produce a CLK63 AMG -- which would actually be an E Class Coupe AMG. The axing is due to the CLK moving from the C Class platform to the E Class, and Mercedes' view that a hotted up E Coupe with the ...
