  • Heynsdyk 2500SF puts that old Porsche 944 to good use
    Another day, another kit car for your toupee-tousling amusement. This is the Heynsdyk 2500SF from Holland: a bespoke body placed over the engine, electronics, and drivetrain of a Porsche 944. The substantially lighter body, in galvanized steel, takes weight down to 900 kilograms (1,980 pounds) while maintaining 50/50 weight distribution. There are six engine choices,...

  • 2011 Shelby GT350 live at Barrett-Jackson
    The 2011 Shelby GT350 seemed to have a polarizing effect when it debuted at Barrett-Jackson’s opening gala event on Monday night. Some of you loved it and others instantly objected to everything from the looks of the car to the $33,995 price tag that doesn’t include the base car.

  • Clio S: Renault offers the hot-hatch look… sans the “hot”
    Every so often, Renault impresses and teases us with the launch of a new hot hatch. Impresses because they’re widely rated as some of the most dynamically competent micro-machines on the road today. Teases because, well…they don’t offer them in North America. So all we can do is admire from abroad such offerings as the Twingo 133 Cup, Clio 200 and Megane...

  • Chevrolet debuts Synergy Green Camaro
    The history of the Chevrolet Camaro is littered with bold styling options and even bolder colors. “Bold” doesn’t always equal “good,” but there have been a lot of both since the 1967 introduction of Chevrolet’s original pony car. At SEMA this year, we saw more custom Camaros than we thought possible, a few of them done up by General...

  • Autodelta takes on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
    As far as Alfa Romeos go, the 8C Competizione is as exotic as they come. Still, some are looking for more. Originally, rumors surfaced that Alfa was working on a lightweight GTA version, but while we wait for that to pan out, Alfa tuner par excellence Autodelta is working on tuning the svelte supercar themselves. Few details are known at this point, but a remapped ECU...

  • Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Veloce rendered ahead of Geneva debut
    Let’s make one thing very clear from the onset. The images you see above are not official shots of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Veloce. They’re renderings. Good renderings, mind you, but nothing more than photoshopped speculation. So with that out of the way… It’s been assumed for months that Lamborghini would unveil a final special edition...
