According to this information, this funky looking, well-built, and extremely desirable vehicle starts at just $22,000. 2018 Toyota C-HR launches in America with just two trim levels: XLE and XLE Premium.

Jaguar’s new SUV is slowly but surely finding its place in the aftermarket scene with more and more tuners nicer and nicer kits for it. This is the Hama Jaguar F-Pace, unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show with a thorough upgrade program that covers pretty much everything you would wan to alter on this car. First off, Hama Jaguar F-Pace offers a body kit which is true style of the German tuner is both visually impressive and aerodynamically beneficial. The package consists of front spoiler complete with fender flares, side skirts, rear fender flares and diffuser insert. The latter also houses four new tailpipes coected to a sports exhaust system which is part of the performance kit Hama ha put together for the F-Pace.[embedded content]Speaking of performance, Hama Jaguar F-Pace program has power kits for both the F-Pace S petrol and F-Pace 30d diesel. With the upgrade measures – which includes free-flow exhausts and chip tuning – in place, the petrol unit jumps from 279 kW (

Given the fact that Mercedes-Benz is following an expansionist approach to production these days it wasn’t really a surprise that they aounced they want to add yet another variant to the AMG GT range. The successful sports car has now spawned a four-door sports saloon in the format of Porsche Panamera. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the new boy is called Mercedes AMG GT Four-Door Concept for now. The production version will get its own AMG GT designation. Although the idea of stretching the AMG GT and adding two more doors may not seem like that much of a hassle for Benz, we are going to have to wait a fair bit of time before Mercedes AMG GT Four-Door hits the streets as a production model. For one thing, the concept looks too, well, concept-y which means it is more an experiment for now than a pre-production preview. You got those fancy design details and you got the EQ Power+ drivetrain system – all too futuristic for 2018.The powertrain in Mercedes AMG GT Four-Door is quite an

There are always a few changes in rules and regulations at the start of a new Formula One season, but 2017 sees many more changes than usual. Many of the new rules have been introduced to try and decrease lap times and improve speeds around coers. Overtaking will also be more difficult. Some of the most crucial regulation changes are explained below.Cars and Tires are Wider The size of the car will increase by 20cms and this also allows wider tires to be used on the cars. Cars this season will be 20% wider than they were previously. The change regarding the tires has been introduces solely to increase the grip on the track when coering. This will allow the coers to be taken at greater speeds. When drivers take coers at great speed it can be exciting to watch as there is also that element of danger. This is similar to the feeling that players get when they are waiting for the slots to settle at 7 Sultans online casino.Nose Will Be Lengthened The nose of the cars this season will

So what we have been following for the past year or so as the P14 Super Series has now officially been unveiled and it is christened the McLaren 720S. As the name reveals, the new British supercar has precisely 720 PS courtesy of a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine, and it looks rather weird but in a good way. Many, of course, are going to compare the 2018 McLaren 720S with its predecessor, the 650S, and complain that it has become a whole lot uglier. McLaren would fire back that the new design is more classy and sophisticated, integrating into it many active and passive aero features. The car needs those features because it is rather fast.Below you can see the car in action and check out some photos at the end of the footage:[embedded content]With 720 PS and 770 Nm of torque from the new engine, McLaren 720S is capable of sprinting from 0 to 60mph in 2.8 seconds (0-100km/h 2.9 seconds), from 0 to 200km/h (124mph) in 7.8 seconds, and eventually to a maximum speed of 212mph (341

The fast pace with which the automotive industry and market are storming forward means that you don’t really have much time to get used to a particular make and model before it gets replaced with a new one that offers ‘more’ of the same. That is the case with Renault Captur. It seems like only yesterday that the brand-new model was introduced. Now they have come up with a new and improved one.Set for official debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the second version of Renault Captur is not a whole lot different from the original, but it comes with subtle improvements and new features to keep it competitive in the unforgiving B-segment crossover segment in which it has done well so far, selling 215,670 units in 2016 in Europe alone.As for the highlights of the new Renault Captur, it retains the previous model’s part piece which is the two-tone paint job but extends the catalog with fancy new colors including Desert Orange and Ocean Blue, and a new roof color, Mercury Silver. The interior

Major auto shows always mean a new special edition or one-ff Koenigsegg, and here’s the offering for this year’s Geneva Motor Show. This handsome beast you see here is called Koenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon, and it is the kind of car, one would imagine, Ragnar Lothbrok would drive… if he weren’t an ancient fictional viking. At any rate, Koenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon gets its name from mythical beast with the body and rear legs of a lion and the head, wings and front talons of an eagle. That is a pretty accurate picture of the kind of creature that would be able to handle this machine. It is based on the One:1 Agera, which means the 1,360 kg hyper car has 1,360 horsepower. So as it tus out the One:1 wasn’t limited to six units – at least its powertrain wasn’t – and Koenigsegg is more than happy to build you one provided you come up with a big enough check.The engine aside, Koenigsegg Agera RS Gryphon is remarkable thing because of its trim and gaish. It boasts a carbon fiber body highligh

So following the early preview they gave us a few weeks ago, Hyundai has now revealed the first official image of the new Hyundai i30 Wagon ahead of the car’s premiere at the Geneva Motor Show. This is still very much a teaser, but it does gives a great look at the proportions of the family-oriented car. And it’s looking good.The 2018 Hyundai i30 Wagon is quite possibly the most European car the Korean car maker has ever produced. It looks sleek, it is the right size, it is a hatchback-tued-wagon which is exactly what a lot European families want when it comes to transport solutions, and it’ll come with efficient engines and impeccable quality… at least for the first five years of ownership. But then no one keeps a Korean car for more than that.[embedded content]What will give the Hyundai i30 Wagon an edge over its real European rivals, most of them have nicer badges than it, will be the value for money. The Hyundai will offer more kit in the base model compared with equivalent Volks

Even though the design of the new McLaren P14, set for debut at the Geneva Auto Show, has already been leaked, the company is still managing to keep the public’s interest in it at a very high level. That is because with the Super Series Macs the looks are about 30 percent of the package. The rest is the performance, and the P14 still has a lot of surprises to reveal in that aspect. So they keep revealing the car’s performance figures and technical goodness little by little in the run up to the Geneva show, this time giving us some delicious numbers about how McLaren P14’s performs under pressure. The new 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 they told us about last time is apparently capable of catapulting the P14 from 0 to 200 km/h in 7.8 seconds, which is mighty impressive, and then there’s the braking system which can bring you back to 0 in just 4.6 seconds. As McLaren says, these are P1 sorts of numbers in a car that will cost one fifth. The awesome brakes feature stiffer brake calipers, carbon-

Porsche is all set to expand its ‘green’ lineup with the debut of a new and more powerful hybrid Panamera at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The new 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is conclusive proof that you no longer have to sacrifice performance for fuel efficient. It is a 680 horsepower hyper saloon that averages 2.9 liter er 100 km and can drive on fully electric power for up to 50 kilometers. INSANE!The beating heart of the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is a 4.0-liter V8 engine from the Panamera Turbo with an electric motor. The numbers it produces beggars belief. It chus out 680 hp and 626 lb.-ft. of torque which performance-wise means the huge luxury saloon accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds (3.3 seconds for the Executive model) and has a top track speed of 192 mph. If this is too rich for your taste you can still order the non-S variant with a V6.For the car geeks among you, the hybrid system in the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid features a 136 hp ele

While the whole world is waiting to see the new Ford GT out on the street, the company – wanting to make use of the momentum – went ahead and aounced a new variant of the super car. To be showcased in Daytona for first time weeks after wiing Rolex 24, the Ford GT Competition Series is a lighter, more hard-core, performance-oriented, limited edition version of the car for more serious drivers. The biggest highlights of the Ford GT Competition Series, which will certainly be more expensive and even more difficult to get than the regular model, include lightweight, race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch cover with manual latch and carbon fiber prop rod, lighter bulkhead Gorilla Glass, lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars, and side mirrors, and new integrated air vents. These not only save a lot of weight, they also lower the car’s center of gravity, making the 650 hp performance machine even sweeter around coers.True to its name and character, Ford GT Competition

Czech car maker Skoda keeps expanding the range their new Kodiaq SUV is effective within by introducing new variants almost every other week now. Following the aouncement about the Scout version they have now unveiled the Skoda Kodiaq Sportline which, as the name suggests, is supposed to be the dynamic variant. As such, Skoda Kodiaq Sportline features a slightly different exterior than other models with radiator grille, roof rails, wing mirror housings and side window in black, tinted rear and tailgate windows, silver trim undeeath the rear bumper, custom badges, body-colored protective parts, and 19-inch alloy wheels in a special new design (20 inch available). Skoda hasn’t lowered the ride height and refrained from using low-slung body kit so the car still retains its above average off-road capabilities. Speaking of off-road abilities, Skoda Kodiaq Sportline comes with all-wheel-drive as standard on all trim levels which is good for a car in this price range. You get a choic

These days GTB Ferraris are better investments than gold and bonds and property. And that is why we reckon this awesome 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB Scaglietti will go for more than its estimate of €1,800,000 to €2,200,000 when RM Sotheby’s auctioneers drop the hammer on it at their February 8 event. The soberly restored and maintained apple green 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB Scaglietti, one of only 250 examples ever built, boasts its original 3.3 liter SOHC triple Weber carb V12 engine with the original five-speed manual transaxle. It is Ferrari Classiche certified which means you can be sure fully independent coil-spring suspension with upper and lower wishbones, Koni tubular shock absorbers, and four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes and every other bit is in tiptop condition and as it was when the car first rolled off the production line. But as always with these cars, it is the history that counts more than the features and even health of the item. Here’s the story of this Ferrari 275 GTB Scagliett

Not sure why Aston chose the very depth of this icy winter to aounce the launch of a new drop-top model, but anyway, the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante is now available for those who are not satisfied with the ordinary version of the car. As the open-top version of the Vanquish S, revealed late last year, the Volante comes with all the options and bespoke packages the Q department has to offer for this car. But before we get to those let’s first see what makes the ‘S’ different than normal VanQs. First and foremost, the car gets an uprated 6.0 V12 engine producing 603 PS, probably the last application of Aston’s super old engine, which gives the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante a top speed of 201mph and a 0-62mph (0-100km/h) time of 3.5 seconds, there and thereabout. The car also gets 8-speed Touchtronic III Transmission, quad-exhaust tailpipes, and revised inlet manifolds for increased engine airflow, as well as retuned Adaptive Damping System (ADS) with normal, sport and track

The great state of Florida is home to some pretty weird and wonderful animals. You will find there alligators that feed on smaller alligators, insects the size of a freaking bird, and chameleons that can disguise themselves as a McLaren 570S. Or is it the other around?

This unique McLaren 570S with its chameleon-style paint work was the highlight of Celebration Exotic Car Festival event held in Kissimmee, Florida. Inspired to some extent by the famous Cerberus Pearl P1, the baby Mac features a special color that consists of many different shades and they all look different depending on the light and the angle you’re looking at them. Honestly, we don’t know how this is legal, because the damn thing must be distracting for other drivers on the road. Looks pretty cool, though. There was also an Alfa Romeo 4C in the bunch with the same wrap:

We see so many over the top, ostentatious tuner cars these days that when we come across something effortlessly cool and undeniably classy, we find it pretty refreshing. This silver Audi RS3, equipped by Cartech with a set of high-end HRE wheels, is a case in point.

On the face of it, this Audi RS3 is a boring four-door German hatchback. And it’s silver, which is the least exciting car color ever. But when you park this thing next to, say, a Geiger Mustang, you start to realize there is something about the Audi that the big and flashy Ford can never achieve. We call it prestige.

The classy RS3 features blacked-out grilles and emblems as well as smoked lights which add to the dignified drama of its looks, and of course it has those HRE P104 rims supported by a set of H&R springs up top. These bits are supporting acts for the main event in the RS3, which is a 367 hp turbocharged five-cylinder engine.

Performance-wise, peak torque of 465 Nm (343.0 lb-ft) available from 1,625 rpm enables a sprint to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) from a standing start in 4.3 seconds while 60 to 100 km/h (37.3 to 62.1 mph) in fourth gear takes just 4.1 seconds; it takes just 5.8 seconds to go from 80 to 120 km/h (49.7 to 74.6 mph) in fifth gear, on route to a top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Top speed can be optionally raised to 280 km/h (174.0 mph).

I’m pretty sure you are fed up to the back teeth with all the colorful GT3 RS’s we features here. But come on, this one’s too special to be taken for granted. The one-off Ruby Star Porsche 991 GT3 RS is currently the hottest RS in America.

Mind you, opinions are divided between this and the mint green example, and that’s before we count in the lover of the blue GT3 RS who themselves are to between Gulf and Miami blue. At any rate, the Ruby Star Porsche 991 GT3 RS is probably the most eye-catching among them all. It certainly was the highlight of the 15th Aual Califoia Festival of Speed Event Coverage where it was featured by BBi Autosport:

And in case you are wondering what’s all this hoopla about the 991 GT3 RS, well, the car has become a bit of a superstar in the auto world, owing mainly to the limited production and the huge demand. The demand itself has to do with the new looks of the RS as well as its 500 horsepower engine, new PDK transmission, and the rear-wheel steering system that makes it a totally different beast than the 997. Everybody wants one of these, which is why prices have become ridiculous.

Russian tuner TopCar has released photos of a new Mercedes GLE Coupe Infeo they have just finished putting together, presumably to let you know your GLE does not have to be the range-topping AMG version to qualify for the treatment. They do the Infeo thing even for the entry-level model.

So there is no tuning discrimination here, even though TopCar is one of the most prestigious tuning houses in the world, building cars for Russian oligarch and oily Arab Sheikhs. The juicy red Mercedes GLE Coupe Infeo you see here is based on the 450 model, but you wouldn’t know that because the kit is so substantial and does such a good job of altering the car’s looks. Although, the color helps a lot in this case.

Each TopCar Mercedes GLE Coupe Infeo features a long list of modifications, the most important of which include front bumper replacement, new boet, modified grille, front and rear fender extensions, side sills and skirt, rear diffuser insert, roof and tailgate spoilers, integrated tailpipes, and a host of TopCar logos. The kit costs € 17,080 EUR without carbon inserts and 20,205 with it. You also get new wheels which you can choose from Lumma or ADV1 designs in sizes 22 or 23 inches.

Prior Design’s PD8000GT wide body kit Mercedes AMG GT continues to makes headlines, this time inadvertently. This time the unique Prior Design AMG GT was caught out in the wild, refueling on its way to France for an important event.

This unique red and black Prior Design AMG GT with gold ADV1 wheels was apparently on its way from Germany to Top Marques Monaco show in Monte Carlo, hence the special wrap and those flashy wheels. What we like most is that despite its Samurai styling, wide fenders, and massive fins, the car is still pretty usable and fairly practical.

That is not something you can say about most other wide body cars. That doesn’t mean Prior Design AMG GT fails at being an impressive wide body eye candy though. In fact, it is one of the nicest examples we’ve ever seen – one that doesn’t seem wrong from any angle. The package consists of a set of wide fenders, custom skirts and sills, and carbon fiber spoiler and flaps, plus a large ducktail spoiler.
