Hyundai’s eco-friendly proposition for this year’s Frankfurt Show is a 2+2 Crosssover that goes by the name i-Blue Fuel Cell Ellectric Vehicle –yes, that’s the full name of the prototype. Developed at Hyundai’s Design and Technical Center in Chiba, Japan, the i-Blue is the Korean firm’s first-ever model designed from the ground up to incorporate fuel cell technology. Hyundai hasn’t disclosed any
We have no idea what the hell the commenter is talking about but that’s beside the point; we felt completely heartbroken after viewing this video that shows with spine-tingling details, a brand new Porsche 911 being destroyed and turned into a soulless pile of scrap metal.

Two Greek guys, one with a Lotus Elise listening to… “Funky Town” –we’ll surpass that, the other with a BMW Z4 3.0si, are going over 220 km/h – 137 mph on a highway in Athens. The Elise is in the middle lane pursuing the Z4 which is on the right lane. While everything seems ok, the moment they exit the tunnel –remember they were going over 220 km/h, the driver of the Z4 suddenly steps on the
Better not leave your car parked in the wrong place in Lithuania cause we seriously doubt that you’ll appreciate the way that the official authorities will handle it. Forget about tow and start thinking more of toss, as the unfortunate owner of the pictured Russian Zaporozhets found out. And the worse part is that the guy that operates the crane is either drunk or he seriously needs to get his
Not that most owners will ever put an Audi Q7 into a dirt track, but we honestly don’t get the logic behind pimping an SUV by lowering its suspension, adding spoilers and inserting 22-inch rims – just go buy an Audi A6 Quattro Avant for God’s sake, it looks and handles much better anyway.

As of July 31, 2007, Toyota Motor Europe’s (TME) cumulative European sales of Toyota and Lexus hybrid vehicles have topped the 100,000 mark. To be exact, since hybrids were first launched in Europe in 2000, a total of 101,235 vehicles have been sold to the European market.

Not so sure about the eye-catching rear wing, but overall, Novitec Rosso’s sport package for the Ferrari 599 GTB that consists of a styling kit along with engine and suspension upgrades, receives a thumb up from us. The subtle exterior kit includes a front lower spoiler, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, rear wing and rear diffuser, LED tail-lamps and black side indicator.
We received an invitation from Volvo earlier this morning to take part in a preview event in the Frankfurt Show and check out two concepts tuned and designed by HEICO Sportiv prior to their SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association) debut in Las Vegas this fall. According to Volvo, the cars destined for Las Vegas are a high performance S80 wearing a heavily tuned bioethanol powered
In a week’s time, on Friday Sep. 7, Jaguar will proceed to the auction of the first customer-owned production XF for charity reasons with all earnings being donated to The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC). The auction of the XF 2.7 Diesel will take place at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, UK with help from new opera singing trio Elysium. The lucky chap will not
