Italian company Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera will celebrate its 90th birthday by introducing a new model during the Geneva Auto Show. It’s an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione underneath the skin, and only seven will be built—they did something similar a few years back with the Disco Volante coupe, and now it loses a roof.Design-wise, it looks similar to the coupe version we saw in 2013. The inspiration comes from the legendary 1952 Alfa Romeo C52, and it keeps the "flying saucer" look alive. The two-piece removable hardtop was made with the help of Alfa Romeo, who learned a...
Lotus is known for being the ultimate in lightweight chassis construction, chassis dynamics, and steering feel. We all love its special edition of Evora Sport 410 and now they promised to cross the pond for sale in North America.The “410” refers to the power output of the Toyota-sourced, 3.5-liter supercharged V-6, an increase of 10 horsepower over the Evora 400. The number also denotes the engine’s torque figure—at least in newton-meters—which translates to 302 lb-ft in freedom units, the same as in the 400. Once again, a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic...

Daimler makes its managers drive hybrid and electric cars. Plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles will become actually its company cars. The German automaker established a new policy this week that will require top managers to drive electrified company cars—as opposed to gas-powered vehicles—to set an example and provide a clear role model.The company believes that electric cars have much more responses than usual models. Daimler, which owns Mercedes-Benz, announced it would invest another 30 million euros ($33 million) to expand its own charging infrastructure across its o...
Chevrolet Performance wants to prove that the 2016 model, which uses on the sixth-gen body, is just as adept launching down the strip as previous COPOs. This example may still be testing, but its 427-cubic-inch V8 performs like a champ. The engine's raw muscle, at least when coupled with suitably wide and sticky tires, is enough to lift the front wheels when the driver puts the hammer down off the line. This video from Chevy Performance shows off all the drag-strip action from several unexpected angles. You can watch the rear axle at work and even see the engine under the hood during ...
