Ferrari’s Long Awaited SUV – The Purosangue

Naturally aspirated V12, 715hp, four seats - an SUV is not what you would think of when hearing these things.  Ferrari has revealed the Purosangue; it's first SUV, and we love it.

It’s Official: Oscar Piastri Signs with Mclaren

Oscar Piastri is officially a McLaren F1 driver.  After all the contract drama with Alpine heading into the summer break, a four-person Contract Recognition Board unanimously ruled in McLaren and Oscar Piastri's favor.  Soon after, McLaren confirmed Piastri on a multi-year deal.

Spy Shots: Volkswagen Polo Sedan

From some wintry part of the world, we have received these spy shots of a four-door version of the Volkswagen Polo. Because of its size and fuel economy, we expect the Polo sedan to appear in the US as part of the 2011 lineup.

First Look: 2010 BMW M3 GTS

At long last, a hardcore, track-ready version of the latest BMW M3 Coupe has been released, set to go on sale in the Spring of 2010. But unlike the M3 CSLs of the E46 generation, this new M3 GTS is significantly lighter, more powerful, and has a long list of track-friendly upgrades.

First Look: 2010 Porsche Boxster Spyder

Oh, the Porsche Boxster. As we recently reaffirmed in our latest comparison test, the little two-seat roadster from Porsche is one of our favorite topless road cars, and now there’s more to love. The much-anticipated Boxster Spyder won’t make its official debut until December 2nd at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but the details and images have already leaked out ahead of time.

First Look: 2011 Lexus LFA

After many, many rounds of spy shots, the final details and production images have been released of the much-anticipated Lexus LFA supercar, which will have a limited production run of 500 units and will be sold for — get ready — $375,000. (Start saving your pennies.)

First Look: 2011 Nissan GT-R

The Nissan GT-R isn’t an old car, and we don’t have many complaints about Godzilla’s mannerisms, but nonetheless, some small, yet crucial, tweaks have been made to the GT-R for the 2010 model year.

First Look: 2011 Chevrolet Caprice Police Car

When General Motors announced the imminent demise of Pontiac, rumors sprung up about the much-loved G8 sedan being rebadged as a Chevy and potentially used for different North American police forces. Now, GM has officially taken the wraps off of its 2011 Chevrolet Caprice Police Interceptor, but take special note — it’s not actually a G8 (read: Holden Commodore) — instead, this car is a left-hand-drive iteration of the long-wheelbase Holden Caprice/Statesman.

First Look: 2010 Toyota 4Runner

Though the market for mid-size sport-utility vehicles is shrinking in favor of more crossovers and funky wagon-ish things, Toyota’s 4Runner sallies forth into 2010 with a host of visual changes, along with an all-new four-cylinder engine. The new car is both wider and longer than the last-generation 4Runner, meaning that a third-row seat is now available. (Fold-down jump seats were available on previous-gen 4Runners, but we wouldn’t dare refer to that as an actual third row.)

First Look: 2010 Saab 9-5

For a while, the future of Saab looked glum. Thankfully, the fine folks at Koenigsegg have scooped up the Scandinavian automaker and now the future doesn’t look so bad. The current 9-5 was a mess of General Motors influence on an aging platform and the end result was really quite bad, but from the details and images that we have on the new 9-5, it looks like Saab might be back in the game again.

First Look: 2010 Audi R8 Spyder

What’s not to love about the Audi R8? Well, besides the R-tronic transmission. This is one of the sexiest supercars that we’ve been able to get our hands on, and Audi has now upped the ante on its R8 hotness by removing the roof. The R8 Spyder will be hitting our shores next year in 5.2 V-10 guise, and we’re already planning our summer drive routes for this exotic droptop.

First Look: 2010 Aston Martin Rapide

It’s been talked about for years now, but here it is – the absolutely, 100 percent, production-ready version of Aston Martin’s new Rapide four-door. Naturally, this car comes to market at a very interesting time, what with the Porsche Panamera just having hit the pavement. Even so, the Rapide takes all of the traditional Aston Martin values of sportiness, luxury, and style, and offers it in more of a traditional Grand Touring package. It’s Aston’s family car.

First Look: 2011 McLaren MP4-12C

We’ve been waiting for this one for quite some time. McLaren’s last official entry into the supercar world was the too-hot F1 which ended production in the late 1990s. But now Lamborghini and Ferrari have a new kid to do battle with — the MP4-12C, which has been developed entirely in-house and derived from Formula 1 technologies.

First Look: 2011 Bentley Mulsanne

When it comes to Bentleys, new models are a big deal, simply because the automaker’s portfolio is so exclusive. The aging Arnage has been with us for quite some time now, and now the new Grand Bentley, the 2011 Mulsanne, has been revealed. The official debut took place at this past weekend’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but the full details of the Mulsanne will not be released until next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.
