Alpina teases with sketch of next B7 sedan

This is a sketch of the coming Alpina B7, to be based on the new BMW 750i. Outside, there won't be much happening -- nor necessary -- beyond Alpina's new front lip, rear wing and trademark wheels. Inside, Alpina might have some minor cluster mods in store, but we wouldn't expect too much change there, either. As with the 2007 B7 and its 500 hp and 4.8-second 0-60 time, we figure the engine and suspension will be heavily redressed on this next version. Alpina could opt for the centrifugal supercharger routine again, but whatever they do will ... Read more →

Hyundai develops high-performance diesel R-Engine 1 year ago on Autoblog

Not too long ago, Hyundai didn't compete directly with anything coming out of Germany (or perhaps that's the other way around). Now Hyundai is determined not to let up on its recently-made foes. Today it unveiled the R-Engine, a new diesel in two capacities that the company says "can comfortably ...

Porsche Panamera key looks like... Porsche Panamera 1 year ago on Autoblog

What you're looking at is a Porsche Panamera key. Arguably, it's better looking than the Panamera prototypes currently racking up more frequent flier miles than the Travelocity gnome. But we think it will take up all kinds of awkward space in your pocket and won't play nice with other keys. Perhaps ...

Spy Shots: Panamera mule close-ups... still looks... hmmm... 1 year ago on Autoblog

At last count, there were 13 Porsche Panameras winding their way up and down San Francisco streets. We don't know what could be so challenging in the city by the bay that Porsche would take a huge mule fleet to a crowded city center, but needless to say there have been a lot of pictures taken. This ...

Camo-less Panamera has Seoul, caught in Korea 1 year ago on Autoblog

The Panamera is doing development time in Seoul, South Korea. In a city where it seems everyone has a cell phone camera, it's no wonder that someone caught it on film. This time it appears to be wearing nothing more than a blue paint job and some pre-production panel gaps while filling up at a ...

An Aston spokesperson has laid out the plan, and this time neglected to mention the ...

Rumormill: Bugatti and Bentley join forces to battle Rolls-Royce 1 year ago on Autoblog

The whisperers have it that Bugatti may be borrowing from Bentley for a new sedan. What they can't seem to pinpoint is exactly what kind of sharing the two marques will be doing, and whether or not the resulting super Bug will be a supremely high-powered four-door to compete with the Rolls-Royce ...

Maserati could add a small sedan, wagon is a no-go 1 year ago on Autoblog

Maserati is on a bit of a tear, and if things keep going its way, the Trident will turn that into a full-on ripper. The Gran Turismo S and Quattroporte S have secured the right kind of buzz, a Gran Turismo convertible – said to feature a cloth top, not a folding steel unit – is on ...

Paris 2008: Previous Gen Audi A4 Seat Exeo 1 year ago on Autoblog

Our Spanish colleagues tell us that the Iberians are none too happy about SEAT grabbing a previous generation A4 out of the garbage bin to make a new sedan. Never mind the opportunity to make an easy(-ier) profit – something that would have any automaker quaking with giddyness right now ...

Paris 2008: Chevrolet Cruze meets an eager Europe 1 year ago on Autoblog

The Chevrolet Cruze is three kinds of car: small, American and important. And with the state of General Motors, it isn't even the individual words that mean the most: it's whether The General can combine them into a reliable, fuel efficient and cost effective package. True, we don't get to ...

Paris 2008: Lamborghini Estoque LIVE 1 year ago on Autoblog

You've seen the whole Estoque shebang in Lamborghini's words, pictures, and videos. Let us add our own word to it: hmmm. It's a Lamborghini, so it's hard not to like it. And we hate to tread out the refrain, but it's much nicer in person. It feels, though, like they wanted to get this thing ...

Spy Shots: Porsche Panamera suddenly not so bad 1 year ago on Autoblog

We know when it happened, we just don't know why it happened. Autoblog reader Joshua Silverman sent in some cellphone pictures of a Panamera he drove by in Denver, Colorado. And all of a sudden -- like the Grinch's heart growing three sizes -- we liked it. Or at least, we got it. Just to make ...

Spy Shots: Updated Bentley Arnage in Spain 1 year ago on Autoblog

The latest Bentley Arnage is doing the rounds in Spain, but it isn't the sedan's appearance that's news, it's how it might be powered.

Spy Photos: Mazda3 sedan wearing skin-tight camo 1 year ago on Autoblog

When is camo not really camo? When it's black and white tape stuck to the body of the 2010 Mazda3 sedan. The new 3 was recently caught in the U.S. and the new front end is essentially a reworked version of the Mazda6's, with a grinning, two-piece grille split by an angular bumper. Notice the bulges ...

Rendered Speculation: Kia's big VG 1 year ago on Autoblog

So the Kia VG mule that has kept spy photographers busy the last few weeks has now been given a computer animated face and body.

Spy Shots: Porsche Panamera still ugly 1 year ago on Autoblog

New BMW 7 series teased on the back nine 1 year ago on Autoblog

Behind the man finishing his follow through (he didn't keep his head down) is a glimpse of the new BMW 7-Series front end.

Rendered Speculation: Will this be the new Audi A7? 1 year ago on Autoblog

We recently gave you details and showed you spy shots of Audi's forthcoming A7 four-door "coupe".

A Ferrari with four doors? Todt says "Non!" 2 years ago on Autoblog

In the pit lane, Jean Todt is known for saying little and saying it curtly when he does. It seems nearly every time Speed TV attempts to interview him before a race, he waves the camera off and returns to his charges. In his role as CEO of Ferrari, however, he appears to be quite a bit more ...
