A few years ago, Toyota introduced their Star Safety System – a combination of five systems designed to work together...
Hey, look, it’s the new BMW 7 series. The top of the line, flagship of the fleet. You’ll notice that the overall exterior design is MUCH more improved and integrated than in 7s past. The “Dame Edna” front end is way toned down (although still sort of present), and that...
A set of custom wheels is often one of the first changes a tuner makes to their vehicle. Achieving a...
While there are numerous ways to enhance engine performance, perhaps the most comprehensive is through chip tuning. Chip tuning allows...
In the early ’90s, Nissan released a SE-R version of their popular compact car – the Sentra. Boasting 2 doors, a more powerful, highly tunable engine, and other sporty upgrades, the SE-R quickly became a cult classic and still is today. But that’s when the Sentra was still a compact...
Automakers are restrained from creating enormously aerodynamic vehicles with sport-tuned suspensions and powerhouse motors because they must cater to the...
The Ford Focus has always been a strong seller for Ford. Covering a segment usually overrun with imports such as...
If the staring, pointing, and compliments from onlookers don’t give it away, then the fact that the designer of the 2009 Audi S5, Walter de’Silva, said it was “the most beautiful car I have ever designed” should tell you that this car is an official head-turner. We even had someone...
Alright, I admit it, the Lamborghini Gallardo is growing on me. But very slowly! Due to the recent release of...
Looks like Saleen was serious about the supercar business. First came the awesome S7 and S7 TT, which is still...
There’s been a lot of talks lately as to whether or not your car needs premium fuel or if it’s just a waste of money. Most sources say that standard or mid-grade gas should be fine unless you have a high-compression engine, even if your car says it wants premium....
Back when I first started Automoblog.net, I wrote a post about the elderly and what restrictions should be placed on...
Scion announced that they’ll be debuting their most recent variation of the tC at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show. Called...
Sometime in 2007, Lexus will launch it’s recently revealed “F” high-performance line. The series is said to compete with the Mercedes AMG line and BMW’s M Series cars. The first model in line to be transformed is the IS-F, wielding 425 horsepower from a 5.0 liter V8. Previously called the...
The Ferrari FXX is basically a “Super-Enzo.” With only around 20 of these made, only the best customers of Ferrari...
Ever since Toyota discontinued production of the Supra in 1998 (2002 in Japan), they’ve lacked a real sports car. I...
Back when I originally reported on the 350Z GT-S, it wasn’t for sure whether or not the car would be produced. Nissan has confirmed that the GT-S will be produced in limited numbers. The output will be increased from 300 hp to 382 using a supercharger and will reduce the...
Did James Glickenhaus re-bodied Enzo (the Ferrari P4/5) not do it for you? It seems the Sultan of Brunei and...
Do you like Aston Martins but don’t have the cash? Thinking about getting a Nissan 350Z? Well, we may have...
If you remember, about a month ago, I wrote a preview about Rev It Up Racing, an entry-level racing school with events across the country. My fiancee and I had a chance to attend the Chicago event on Saturday, August 12th. The drive there was fun but familiar; we visit...
A while back, I found some shots of the new 2007/2008 Hyundai Tiburon (Coupe,) and the concept looked great. Check...
Weird, this is the first Ferrari 360 Modena replica I’ve ever seen that actually looks good! Now that I think...
Holy crap, this is hot. Check out what Hamann did to the doors on this Gallardo Spider. The Gallardo, being the “Baby Brother” Lamborghini, has been lacking in the “bad-ass” factor the other Lambo’s have. It’s been more of a tuner car than anything else. To be honest, I’ve been considering it a...
I was recently going through my computer and deleting much stuff I don’t need, and I stumbled upon these pictures...
Autoblog posted spy shots of the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon a couple weeks ago, but I decided not to post about...
I’m trying to make this get me upset, but I can’t; it’s just too cute. Michael Lebedev created this Aston Martin body kit made for the Mazda Miata in Australia and is selling it for about $5,600 through his company Custom Automotive Restyling. Inspired by the James Bond flick Die...
