We might disagree with the whole concept of transforming a Corvette into a limo for high-school kids or the newly rich, but we have to admit that the 220’’ C5 with the gullwing doors in the middle has not match when it comes to impressing the crowds. The Corvette Limo’s passengers will be equally impressed once inside with the electric fireplace, the four flat screen TVs and the disco floor among

That’s AS4 and S4 – just to avoid any misunderstandings… The AS4 is ABT’s tuning proposition for the all-new A4 that will go on sale in the States in early 2008. Our first reaction upon seeing the ABT prepped A4 was quite positive if you take out the fender gills that look totally out of place. The bodykit consists of front, side and rear skirts, a rear spoiler and a 4-pipe rear muffler while the

The current sport version of the Mazda6, called Mazdaspeed6 in the U.S. and Mazda6 MPS in Europe, Australia and other markets, hasn’t been what you’d call a sales success. Don’t get us wrong; it’s a nice car all around, but it lacks that something special to draw buyers. Unfortunately, while Mazda could have got it right this time, the Japanese carmaker seems convinced that the market is too

In a few days and specifically on Monday, December 2007, Dodge dealers will start taking orders for the limited-edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 models. Featuring a numbered dash plaque and a 6.1-liter HEMI V8 engine, the 2008 Challenger SRT8 models will be available in Black, Silver and HEMI Orange.

There’s no doubt that the Audi R8 is one hell of a looking car, which makes you wonder why someone would mess around with its appearance trying to mod it as if it were a Civic. Personally, I’d might think of changing the alloy wheels, but nothing more. Anyway, ABT believes that there are many current and potential R8 buyers out there who’d disagree with us as the German tuner presented a new

Chevrolet Europe has enriched the Captiva’s line-up with a brand new sport version that will be available with a common-rail 150 HP 2.0L turbo diesel engine or, alternatively, the 169 HP 3.2-liter V6 engine.

Opel today announced that their next-generation mid-size car which will succeed the current Vectra will bear the name “Insignia” after the concept that broke cover at the 2003 Frankfurt Show in Germany. Furthermore, GM’s European subsidiary revealed that the Insignia will make its public debut at the at 2008 British Motor Show next July. The new Insignia family, which will be built at Opel’s home

We could easily see these VW Bus / Transporter replicas based on the Subaru Sambar, a JDM microvan equipped with a 0,6-litre turbocharged engine, becoming a one-night craze. The transformation looks quite simple as it only involves a new front-end, a cool paintjob and a set of rims. We discovered a couple of these miniscule replicas for sale on eBay UK, but if any of you guys have more

In the U.S., buyers know it as the Saturn Vue while in Europe, as the Opel Antara.
