Aston Martin Rapide interior leaked

My question is why did the super car makers suddenly decide that it would be a good idea to produce 4 door cars? Every 4 door Ferrari’s resale value is far lower than any other Ferrari, which would tell people that there isn’t a huge market for 4 door super cars. Read more

Some automotive enthusiasts truly think that the Porsche Panamera is not a tuners car or a good-looking sedan. Maybe Jon Sibal had the same thoughts, that could be the reason for him rendering such a masterpiece out of the Porsche Panamera. The guys at speedmotiv.com tipped us off on this artwork via Jon Sibal’s deviantART profile.

2010 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG Puts The Smack Down

The new 2010 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG is sure to put the smack down on other sports sedans while giving its driver and passengers the serene plushness of a true Mercedes Benz. That’s what 518hp on tap via a 6.3-liter V8 engine will do for ya. How would you like to take all of your friends with you on the next autocross or just blast down the highway (enclosed raceway – so we don’t get sued for telling you to do this) at 186 mph.

The BMW M5 V10 has some serious competition. Remember the old days when the BMW M5 had to take it to the twisties to beat up on the Benz E55 AMG but in a straight line it was a slightly different story? That just may be the case once again if you put those two 4-door beasts against each other again for the model year 2010.

Look for more official photos as the U.S. version of the 2010 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG makes its way to American shore lines.

Below (after the jump) is the press release on the new 2010 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG with specifications.

The guys at Autopia have a great imagination just as other gear-heads who post off-the-wall automotive stuff online. A new rendering of the Tesla S has taken it to a new level. They have rendered what the Tesla S may actually look like found in their post, “Behold the Tesla Model S“.

They basically took a combination of a few teaser images that have already been circulating over the internet on various automotive sites and automotive blogs. If you ask me, it looks pretty convincing and I am willing to bet the actual Tesla Model S to look very similar to the photoshop job below. Can we call it a photoshop job? Is that still the correct lingo?

We are not going to bore you with a long write-up discussing what we think about the BMW M3 Sedan going face-to-face with the Japanese blue-blooded-Godzilla, Lexus IS-F. We are sure you really don’t care that we are biased to the point that we believe a Lexus can’t show up a BMW… or can it? The video below pretty much explains it all including a test run by the infamous Stig.

Enjoy the video after the jump…
