Ancient gods need accessories as well. That's why we've got news from Prior Design for they have given the iconic Range Rover (2002-2005) a makeover. We are talking about nothing more drastic than a simple body kit but that's what Prior do and they do it best.
It really is simple – a front bumper, side skirts and a rear bumper. The overall kit does make the Range Rover loose its off-road appeal but since when SUV's have been for dirt roads? Today, it's all about the urban look – a sense of se

For more than a decade, BMW M5 is the official Ring Taxi. It takes passengers around the famous Nurburgring race track driven by a professional pilot. Now, there is a new taxi and it comes from Jaguar. It is based on the latest all-aluminium long wheelbase XJ Supersport with Sport and Speed Pack options.
The XJ Supersport Ring Taxi is powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 with 510HP (375 kW) and 625Nm (461 lb-ft) of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission sending all that power to the rear wheel

The Porsche Boxster hits the showrooms in the UK. Prices will start at £37,589 which means that it still will be the cheapest Porsche around and, because of it's new profile, it will be more accessible as well. By accessible, I mean more appealing to men as well. Let's be frank. Up until now, women have been the most common sight behind the wheel of a Boxster roadster.
Some highlights: two flat-six engines with direct injection and a recalibrated chassis. It's 35 kg lighter than the old one a

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has joined the exclusive "11-second" club for stock vehicles. This means that the car is capable of doing less than 12 seconds at a ¼ mile drag race.
Only a few other production vehicles can run the quarter-mile as quickly as the ZL1. Fewer yet can also run 0-60 in 4 seconds, reach a top speed of 184 mph and lap the famous Nürburgring in 7:41.27 - all with the street-legal, factory-issued components and no time-consuming equipment adjustments at the racetrack.
"The ZL1 is great at everyth

O.CT-Tuning do not like to beat around the bush. That's what evident by this example – it's a Chevrolet Camaro (The Yellow Steam Hummer, they've called it) that has no obvious signs of modifications. That doesn't come as a big surprise, since O.CT-Tuning are apparently renown for their expertise on compressor modificat

Chevrolet Bel Air was firstly introduced in 1950 and it was produced until 1975. In the middle of the 20th century, the manufacturer offered a revolutionary style that would set a pattern for decades.
The Bel Air Hardtop was styled as a convertible with a non-detachable solid roof. There were a lot of early models like this, but they weren’t appreciated. However, the customers liked the new style a lot and Bel Air had quite huge success.
1950 Chevrolet Bel Air came out with independent front suspension. The

Nowadays one of the very substantial problems in the world is pollution. Air pollution is caused mainly because of the released fumes from different vehicle and airplanes. In addition to that, the exhaust of toxic gases from factories adds much to air contamination.

This is something new. Kahn Design releasing a teaser? Must be something big. In all honesty, it is big. A Range-Rover Evoque kind of big. It's will be called the RS250 and all we have for now is this sketch. The release date is set for sometime in July this year.
As we have established, the base product is an Evoque. And that's a hard piece of motoring to ruin. The sketch looks good but those LEDs on the side of the bumper simply seem too much. But hey, it's a fashion statement so why not.

You remember the Juke-R, don't you? The one that puts to shame some of the most established brands out there on a track. Well, now you can have one...presumably. Nissan are putting it on a very limited run. In fact, they will set their production policies for it, on an on-demand manner.
The first time we saw the Nissan Juke-R was on a track in Dubai, trashing Lmaborghinis, Ferarris and alike. Nissan say, that the ensued interest was “enormous”. So enormous in fact that they now have...ahem...three orders for it.
