Toyota has revealed an aggressive racing version of the S-FR concept and will be shown in the upcoming 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon. Based on the original concept shown earlier this year, the new concept gets a new front grill, bigger front bumper with an apron, a vented hood, wider fenders and new side skirts. At the rear, the car gets a huge swan neck GT wing and a large diffuser.
Eagle-eyed readers might notice the racing concept looks longer and wider too. They are right because Toyota says th
Formula One's head, Bernie Ecclestone, has been forced to relinquish his leadership role in the series. His successor expects changes soon.
As reported by Carscoops, F1 has been officially bought over by Liberty Media Corporation and Delta Topco in a deal worth S$11.35 million. As part of the deal, Chase Carey has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer and chairman of F1 while Ecclestone has been appointed as Chairman emeritus, an honorary position given to the former F1 head.

To mark the 30th anniversary of the BMW M5, the German marque has come up with a 300-unit limited version of the current F10 model. The BMW M5 '30 Jahre M5' (30 Years of the M5) develops 600bhp and peak torque of 700Nm from a 4.4-litre V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology.
This makes it not only the most powerful M5 model, but also the most powerful BMW automobile ever.
The foundation for these upgrades was provided by the Competition Package which can be optionally ordered for
The way investors are falling over themselves to put hundreds of millions into taxi apps, you would think they had found a cure for cancer.
In just a little over three years, more than a dozen of these companies promising to find you a ride when you need one have sprouted across the globe, sucking billions in venture capital and grabbing headlines everywhere.
But will they deliver the change they promise or will they fizzle out like the tech start-ups that mushroomed in the late 1990s?
Land Rover has confirmed plans to build a production version of its Range Rover Evoque Convertible concept. The idea of a topless Evoque was presented at the 2012 edition of the Geneva Motor Show.
Set to be based on the Evoque Coupe, Land Rover will bill the Evoque convertible as an alternative to premium German drop-tops like the Audi TT. However, the Evoque convertible is expected to remain a low-volume niche model designed primarily to boost Land Rover's image.

A facelifted version of the Volkswagen Golf will be internationally revealed in November and is expected to go on sale in 2017.
The Golf – a mass-market rival for other family hatchbacks including the Seat Leon, Ford Focus, Opel Astra and Renault Megane – is regularly one of the best-selling cars in the UK. It's also one of the best cars outright, offering a comfortable ride and smart interior while being easy to drive and relatively practical.
As well as mild styling changes and interio
When the COE system was just four years old in 1994, well-respected transport and behavioural economist Anthony Chin predicted that, in time, only top earners in Singapore would be able to afford cars.
The Government dismissed his assertion and, in the two decades since, it would seem that Professor Chin - who died last year at the age of 57 after a short illness - got it wrong.
Car ownership has been rising, not falling. By 2012, 45 per cent of households owned cars - up from less than
For the 2016 model year, Infiniti has unveiled a new engine to top the range for the Q50 sedan. Soon to be available with a brand new 3.0-litre twin turbocharged V6 engine, the rest of the range gets a revamp for their turbo engines too.
With an output of 400bhp and 475Nm of torque being churned out, the Q50 cannot be accused of being slow. According to Infiniti, it claims that its engine has the best power-to-efficiency ratio in its class. However, no fuel consumption figures have been rel
HERE’S a note of caution about highspeed rail (HSR) projects.
The one planned for Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and estimated to cost $14.9 billion, has been hailed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and his Singapore counterpart Lee Hsien Loong as a “game-changer”. The two prime ministers gave the green light to South-east Asia’s first HSR project two years ago. Once operational, the 300kmh train service will significantly reduce travelling time between the two capitals to 90 minutes, sh

It seems that Toyota is keen to inject more athleticism in its model lineup, after the recipe worked well for the GT86, as well as for its sister company Lexus with the new RC Coupe.
It has been more than a decade since its last halo sports car, the Supra, saw daylight. Better late than never, there is now a beam of light at the end of the tunnel. The FT-1, no doubt, will be the spiritual successor to the Supra, and may even bear the same moniker when it goes for production.

TL;DR – VW Passat P-plate driver gets mad when he gets honked at for not stopping at the stop sign. Goes all aggro on cam car in front (with high beam and unnecessary lane cutting).

We are sure not many people are aware of how easy it is for hackers to access the functions of modern cars and this video will is a good reminder of how dangerous a connected car can get if automakers don't improve the security of their increasingly connected vehicles.
With the help of hackers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, Wired Magazine used Jeep's Cherokee to demonstrate what they meant.
Making use of software that lets them send commands through Jeep’s Uconnect, its internet-conn
Reuters has just published a report saying automakers will be reversing the recent downsizing trends for both petrol and diesels engines as the small engines have trouble passing real-world emissions test.
While the turbocharged small engine capacity provided decent power for everyday driving, it is said that small petrol engines 'spew fine particles and carbon monoxide' and that the heat generated by small turbodiesels result in NOx readings over 15 times the legal limit. Renault's 0.9-li
According to the Las Vegas Sun, as well as several other local outlets, two men died in a Lamborghini crash on track at a facility called SpeedVegas. The car reportedly hit a concrete wall with a tire barrier and burst into flames. Tragically, the driver and the instructor were both killed instantly. We confirmed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that the organization is investigating the crash.

Its been three years since the Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG came into the hot hatch market and rewrote the hot hatch performance rule book. But according to Autocar, Mercedes has already started work on the second generation of the model and it will be even faster.
Likely to go on sale in 2019, it is rumored to use the car's existing 2.0-litre turbocharged four and will be tuned to deliver more than 400bhp. The current car has an output of 381bhp.
While the engine might not be all new, the ge
Koenigsegg is keen to apply the lessons it learned from developing its supercars to more practical forms. Like for example, building a 400bhp 1.6-litre engine. Details about the upcoming engine are as good as none but if the rumors are true, it will have four cylinders like most engines of this size.
In an interview with CarBuzz, the man behind the company, Christian von Koenigsegg was quoted, “By reducing the bore and elongating the stroke of the piston, we are able to lessen the heat loss
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced that it will be investigating a second Tesla Autopilot related crash. The crash which happened during the first week of July, comes just after the another Autopilot related crash that happened in May.
The driver who was in the Model X that crashed, was hospitalised with light injuries. It is reported by Carscoops that the car was on its self-driving Autopilot mode when it hit a guardrail, flipped and landed on its roof

The Bugatti Chiron is here and here's everything you need to know about it's debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
One of 2016’s most eagerly anticipated cars is finally here: the Bugatti Chiron has been unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The successor to the Veyron boasts an astonishing set of figures, and will come with a £1.9million(SGD3.7Mil) price tag when it goes on sale in autumn this year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JVJJjZjYREAt least 26 people were injured on Sunday Oct 4, 2015, after a car smashed into a group of spectators at a motor show in Luqa, Malta.
The Porsche 918 Spyder, driven by a British businessman, appeared to spin out of control as he was driving at high speed along an airport runway used for the event.
Paul Bailey has been named as the driver of the car and is still in hospital along with others. Five of the injured, including a six-year-old girl, ar
Here's a cool video showing the evolution of Formula 1's steering wheel as the years go by. Starting from the 1960's which is basically just a wheel and nothing more, the video shows us how the wheel changes as technology creeps into the sport.
Starting from the 80's, buttons and dials started appearing on the wheel and by the 90's, advanced electronics allowed the changing of engine maps and other systems via the wheel in the form of knobs.
Today, the wheel is hardly recognisable as a
Liberty Media, which have officially taken over Formula 1, has put Ross Brawn in charge and as the Managing Director, he promises some new changes.
In an interview with the BBC, the man who has worked with Ferrari and Mercedes knows what the fans want.
“We know what fans want. They want entertainment, they want close racing, they want to be able to understand what’s going on,” Brawn said. “And I think everyone agrees on that, I think simplicity is a key objective for the future. I’ve wa
