First, the chocolate-colored car seen here is the 5.2 FSI model, powered by the same 525-horsepower V10 that motivates the R8 5.2 FSI coupe. The "V10" badge is clearly visible on the front fender. Other trim details are carried over from the V10 coupe as well, such as the twin oval tail pipes, chrome-trimmed front grille, shiny black trim and -- wait, are those chrome wheels?! They might be polished cast-aluminum wheels instead. It's hard to tell. Either way, they're flashy for an Audi.

By now you've probably already read our first drive of the 2011 Lexus LFA. It's the Lexus supercar that has finally appeared in the flesh after years of forced hibernation by one Toyota executive after another. It's quite the impressive piece, and most of those in attendance at today's official unveiling at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show seemed impressed. Good thing, too, as the new head of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, said during the Toyota press conference that he feels sad about the fact that the company n...

The face-lifted 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo will debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show in September, the German automaker confirmed on Friday. Porsche, uncharacteristically, is putting the emphasis on the 911 Turbo's fuel economy, saying in a statement that it "continues to create more from less." However, the car's actual fuel economy remains a mystery, since neither Porsche nor the EPA have released any official numbers. The EPA says the 2009 Porsche 911 Turbo with a five-speed automatic transmissi...

Its chrome grille is the same as the one on the Mini Cooper S, but includes body-color bars on the inner section. Mini Roadster Concept @ 2009 Frankfurt Auto Sho...

It's amazing what happens when the psychodelic camouflage comes off a long-awaited Mercedes-Benz production car. Here's the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the reborn Gullwing, the modern-day successor to the 300 SL. We've driven it, savored the uncommonly sharp throttle response from the 6.2-liter V8 (563 hp, 479 lb-ft of torque) and marveled over the handling -- which is more direct and communicative than any other Benz in recent memory. 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Unveiled at 2009 Frankfurt Motor ...
