Lust-Worthy Cars In The Canyons Of Southern California

Why yes, that is a big-block Corvette... Image: RNickeymouse

Southern California is the center of the collector / exotic car universe, and nowhere is that more evident than the canyons of Mulholland Highway, near Malibu, California. YouTube poster RNickeymouse makes a living by filming motorcycle riders in some of the better corners, then selling them the footage and stills. Occasionally, he captures a few cars worth noting, too, like the ones in the video below.

If you’ve got a keen eye, you’ll spot Jay Leno (twice, in fact), and the list of cars captured is pretty impressive. There’s a Ferrari 599 GTO, a McLaren MP4-12C, a prototype Audi eTron Spyder, a few Ariel Atoms, a Caterham 7, a Bugatti Type 57 SC and even what looks to be an original Shelby Cobra. If idiots crossing double-yellow lines mid-corner raise your blood pressure, there’s some sweet justice in the middle of the video, too. Read more…

If you ask us, the front end of the new Jaguar XKR-S is just a bit overdone. Sure, the flares before the front wheel arches are probably functional, reducing air pressure buildup (and lift) in the front wheel wells, but the overall effect is that someone threw a cheap body kit on a Jaguar. The drooping snout doesn’t help, either, and makes the front of the XKR-S Convertible look like a cross between a grasshopper and a channel catfish. Read more…

Premiering at next week’s L.A. Auto Show is the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S Convertible, which will be the fastest drop-top to ever carry the “Growler” emblem. Read more…

Jaguar Land Rover To Skip Detroit Auto Show

Filed under Auto Show, Automotive, Jaguar

The Detroit Auto Show, also known as the North American International Auto Show, has a reputation for being the premier U.S. auto show event. Even with our sagging economy, the U.S. represents the second-largest auto market in the world (behind China, of course), so you’d think that major manufacturers would want a presence at the largest U.S. auto show. In the case of Jaguar Land Rover, you’d be wrong. Read more…
