2015 Lexus RC F is here! Since it has been kept in secret for a month already, it is now clear that the “F” model is based on the RC coupe. The latter was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show last November and now it is time for its more athletic sibling to stand under the lights.
The RC F coupe is styled to support the most powerful V8 performance car ever developed by Lexus. It has wider wheels and tires, an active rear wing, air scoops, cooling ducts and available carbon fiber components.

A timeless commercial formula: women plus cars make the world go round. Or is that just us being dizzy?
It's not all unapologetic marketing though. You have the ridiculously gorgeous British actress/model/fashion designer Sienna Miller next to an American icon (which, apparently, has an American accent): the 2015 Fo

Volvo are fairly certain that their target audience for the Concept XC Coupe – which, by the way, is now sort of official - comprises of individuals with an active lifestyle. So about six or seven people?
That, apparently, explains the “orange details and exterior graphics” inspired by the POC, a Swedish company which develops high-tech protective gear for gravity sports athletes. Hard to lose it in a snow storm then.
The second-out-of-three concepts based on Volvo's Scalable Product Archi

The Vauxhall Astra GTC line will now be available with a 1.6 Ecotec power plant. This engine might just be the biggest cause of headaches at Volkswagen.
That's right, the GTC now pulls off 200 PS and 300 Nm. Yikes! That's 30 percent more power than the previous equivalent. If we translate that to 0-to-60-time, it me

It's not easy making a break in the aftermarket niche. It takes time and determination to build a good image. Only then will the majority of people will feel secure in handing in the keys to their prised stock-mobiles.
All that being said, we would like to wish good luck to the young, up-and-coming tuner house from

Here it is in the flesh: the world's most powerful “series-produced four-cylinder engine”. It's the Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG and it's fast. Like, 4.8-seconds-to-sixty-miles-an-hour kind of fast.
So, despite the tiny engine (2.0-liters), the GLA – AKA, the latest of the “Compact-SUVs” – offers 360 hp and 450 Nm of torque. How have they done that? Well, a twin-scroll turbocharger with a maximum charge pressure of 1.8 bar, and an air-to-water intercooler might be partly to blame. AMG engineers have fiddled with a h
