Spy Shots: Scion FR-S Convertible Uncovered!

Looks like the cat is out of the bag. I mean, really anyone paying attention to the news coming out of Toyota probably should’ve seen this coming, but I don’t think Toyota intended us to get a look at the FR-S convertible this early. Too bad Toyota. From these cell phone shots it looks… Pretty [...]

C63 AMG Gets the 660hp McChip Treatment

Looking like an art car reminiscent of the ones popularized by BMW, German tuner mcchip-dkr has managed to turn the already great C63 AMG into a car that packs both a visual and a performance wallop. Upon first sight of this tuner car, what grabs your eye are the decidedly eye-catching graphics, courtesy of CoverEFX. While the graphics package will definitely be loathed by some, it does give the beastly C63 AMG a whimsical look that will make you think that it’s a cute designer car with fancy 20-inch wheels.

Blacked Out Raptor Camera Car Chases Ford Fusion

In my experience, I’ve found camera cars to be surprisingly cool. They’re almost always flat black (to reduce glare) and they are almost always fast. Trucks like the Ford Raptor tick all the requirements pretty well. In addition ...

Rumormill: Toyota Resurrecting Supra on FR-S Platform?

I should know better than to bring up rumors concerning the Supra, but at least this one sounds like it holds some water. Toyota and BMW have confirmed that they’re working together on a new sports car platform. BMW will use the layout for their next generation Z4 Coupe. Toyota, on the other hand, would presumably use it [...]

Car Throttle Pits E60 M5 Against Lexus IS-F

In a weird kind of way, this comparison makes sense. On paper it doesn’t. The E60 M5 is a V10 with a 8000 rpm redline and 500 horsepower. Lexus’ IS-F makes about a hundred horsepower less than that with it’s 5 liter V8. The character of these car’s power delivery couldn’t be any different. And [...]

A Closer Look: The 2013 Scion iQ

Let’s not beat around the bush: the Scion iQ is weird. Don’t take that as a bad thing; it isn’t. Scion’s pudgy micro car is surprisingly comfortable, handles like a fwd go-kart and looks pretty good on some aftermarket 16 wheels. The reason it’s weird is in part because you’d have to consider buying 16″ rims [...]
