Various Camaros have gone under the 1LE label since 1988. It's an upgrade package inspired by the car's involvement in Pro-Am road racing. Now it is on the horizon again for the 2013 SS coupe versions – the 1SS and 2SS that carry a V8 under their bonnets and a manual transmission as standard. Actually, the whole makeover is intentionally reminiscent of the ZL1 spec.
“The Camaro 1LE combines the best elements of the SS and ZL1 to take road-racing performance to a whole new level,” said Al Oppenh

The New York International Auto Show will be the venue where Shelby American Inc. will debut their most powerful project yet – the GT Ford Shelby 1000 which started life as a more “standard” 2012 GT 500. And no, the 1000 does not consist of two GT 500s. It's only one of them, with handling, power and breaking performance all beefed up.
Although it's called the Shelby 1000, both of the versions in which it will be offered do not develop 1000 bhp. A street legal one has the “mere” 950 ponies whil

Nissan won't be the only company that shows back ends as teasers for the New York International Auto Show. Here's something from Toyota as well. Supposedly it will be a “stunning” sedan that has been U.S.-designed. The global premiere will take place in the Galleria room within the Jacob Javits Center at 10:30 a.m. EDT on April 5, 2012.
Toyota are being quite quiet about it so we'll just have to guess. “Elegant yet athletic” they say. Well, this sketch here does suggest the latter. Obviously, t

I have a beef with today's hybrids and electric vehicles. Its their batteries that get me. One does not even have to own a hybrid. Instead, simply observe how your cell phone acts throughout the years – the charge capacity is getting lower and lower, cold weather doesn't help at all and neither do the summer days. Now, imagine that in a car – driving along with 2 or more “bars” on the dials, no worry in the world, and then it all suddenly goes bust. Nerve wrecking.
Happily however, Volvo are aw

In a bid to attract even more buyers, Toyota have turned up, in Australia, with a bag of updates for the 2012 Prius. It now has a new face, some extra equipment, its suspension has been tweaked and is cheaper than ever.
Visually, the front lower end sees a new bumper and a larger, trapezoidal lower grille. LED daytime running lights find their place right beneath the indicators within the bumper while the fog lights have moved on the sides of the lower grille. Elsewhere, one would find that the

Here are several starts of a brutal Jeep Cherokee SRT-8 Supercharged with 700HP against some powerful, tuned vehicles - BMW X6M Hamann Stage 2 670HP, Porsche Cayenne Turbo Gemballa GT600 with 600HP, Ford Mustang GT500 612hp and Porsche 911 Turbo Stage 2 580HP.
As you can see, all these SAVs and cars are underpowered, but as we know – power is nothing without control. Although the BMW starts first with reaction time of only 0.310 seconds, it is quickly overtaken by the Jeep. The X6 M crosses the finish line with

Falken is one of the biggest tyre manufacturers in the world. Until now, tyre engineers have struggled to offer lower rolling resistance and the highest levels of wet weather grip, finding attributes to be usually mutually exclusive. However, the Japanese tyre maker has achieved this challenging balance by taking alternative ways to reduce the heat and therefore the energy required to deliver the desired grip performance required for a European premium tyre.
By using silica in combination wit

Usually, we don’t report anything related to manufacturers, but this is very important and potentially dangerous. BMW AG is the world’s largest premium car manufacturer and one of the most expensive brands in the world. It is reccaling around 1.3 million cars for repair due to a possible problem with a battery cable cover in the trunk. Because of this, the car can catch fire, which is extremely dangerous and hard to cope with.
This can happen with all models from 5- and 6-Series BMWs built be

Jeep brand has just introduced the launch of the new limited-edition series of 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude, 2012 Jeep Compass Altitude and 2012 Jeep Patriot Altitude.
In January, Jeep introduced a distinctive, "blacked-out" production-intent concept Grand Cherokee. With this introduction, the brand decided to leave an important part to the customers themselves. They had to give a name to the model. With more than 100,000 entries from enthusiasts, what emerged as a name was “Altitude”.
