2012 Fiat 500C Review
In the auto world, the letters F.I.A.T. stand for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, or Fiat, a company founded in 1899. But Fiat hasn’t sold cars in the United States since the mid-1980s, when spotty reliability issues had many owners thinking F.I.A.T. stood for “Fix It Again, Tony”. Now Fiats are making their way back into special boutique U.S. showrooms with the Fiat 500, a moniker that began just after World War II in Europe. It was a small, inexpensive, high mileage car that put Italians back on four wheels. If you couldn’t afford a Fiat 500, your next option was a Vespa motor scooter. FAST FACTS1. Like the standard 500, the Cabrio is powered by a 101 hp 1.4L 4-cylinder. 2. Rather than a conventional convertible roof, the 500C retains...

Ferrari SP12 EPC leaked
Ferrari SP12 EPC live photos - low res - 22.3.2012 / MPSPhotographyReportedly built for Eric ClaptonThe first pictures of the Ferrari SP12 EPC have hit the web, ahead of its official unveiling later this year.Reportedly built for singer Eric Clapton, the model is based on the 458 Italia and features unique bodywork that draws inspiration from the 512 BB. As such, there's new bumpers, a wide grille and a retro rear end.Clapton apparently wanted the car to be equipped with a V12 engine, but Ferrari reportedly told him it wasn't feasible. However, we wouldn't be surprised if the 4.5-liter V8 has been upgraded to produce more than 570 PS (419 kW / 562 hp) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque.Little else is known about the model, but it was apparently...

Jaguar XJ: Black gloss limo spy shots
Jaguar has already surprised enthusiasts with two-tone black gloss D-pillars on the XJ and, more recently, on the new XF Sportbrake estate. Now Car Magazine has snapped some spy shots of Jaguar’s XJ two-tone black gloss limo prototype in Coventry, England.It’s a metallic grey regular-wheelbase XJ, but with black gloss front bumper assembly and rear valance. The look is quite shocking for a Jaguar and looks almost as if Ian Callum’s designers went overboard with a black gloss spray gun.Does this mean that Jaguar will now be selling two-tone XJs? Well not exactly since this is in fact a prototype and as of now there are no plans to offer a factory-approved accessories kit with more gloss scattered around the bodywork.This...

Did Ferrari Build Eric Clapton his own 458 Italia?
Italian Supercar Manafacturer Ferrari have been known to create custom vehicles for some very exclusive clients in the past including the F430-based SP1 created for a wealthy Japanese collector in 2008 as well as the P540 Superfast Aperta created on the 599 FTB Fiorano platform in 2009.Now, if the Ferrari afficianados over on FerrariChat.com are correct, Ferrari Special Projects program has built a third one-off vehicle for legendary musician Eric Clapton who is known as a passionate Ferrari collector.The car looks to be based on the 458 Italia and has distinct styling references to the 12-cylinder Ferrari 512 BB built in the late 1970s and early 1980s with a large lower grille, hood slats and flying buttresses...

Beckham’s Back In Business With A New Rolls Royce
We weren’t really sure what David Beckham’s plan was when he decided to kick his Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe to the curb but from the looks of it he’s decided to stick with Rolls Royce.We’ve spotted Beckham with the car a couple times — first the whole family was out for lunch and you can see the car parked across the street and just recently David was spotted at the gas station having an attendant wash the windshield. Some families go from three to four kids and breakdown for the minivan but when you’re David and Victoria Beckham you go from a Rolls Royce Coupe to a four door more practical Rolls Royce Ghost inste...
New Porsche CUV called Macan, not Cajun after all, Porsche Announces Macan Crossover for 2013,
.jpg)
The drawing above depicts the 2014 Porsche Macan, the compact crossover formerly known as Cajun. We’ve extensively covered this long-anticipated baby Porsche SUV, but here’s a recap: The Macan will share its architecture with the Audi Q5 and slot into the Porsche SUV lineup—yes, the company now has a lineup of SUVs—below the Cayenne. It likely will use engines pulled from Audi’s parts bin, but as you can see from the design sketch Porsche released today, won’t share its look with any four-ringer.The styling is hardly shocking—it strongly resembles the Cayenne—and it looks very similar to a rendering we published some months ago. So why the name change? Apparently “Macan” sounds good in many languages—it means “tiger” in Indonesian—and, at least...
Porsche Announces Macan Crossover for 2013
.jpg)
Like when Mercedes Benz stepped foot the SUV market with their ML model, many scratched their heads when sports car maker Porsche entered the fray with the Cayenne. Well a decade later the Cayenne is one of Porsche’s better selling vehicles in the US anyway.With that experience under their belt and the increasingly tight CAFE standards to come, Porsche has plans for a smaller crossover that will share its architecture with the Audi Q5. To be called the Porsche Macan, the company has released a sketch of what the vehicle will look like.Porsche says the the name Macan is derived from the Indonesian word for tiger. They hope the moniker will translate characteristics of “suppleness, power, fascination and dynamic” to the new crossover that has...

GMC reveals 2013 Terrain Denali
While GMC’s Denali trim is a hit, for some reason the brand’s most popular crossover still doesn’t display GMC‘s signature grille. This is all about to change with the introduction of the 2013 Terrain Denali.In the official press release, Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president of GMC Marketing said that ”Denali is growing fast. With seven different models, sales for this brand within a brand increased 79 percent from 2010 to 2011.
