It seems like a lifetime since the end of last year’s F1 season but here we are finally with the season opener from Bahrain. There’s been a major shuffling of seats–notably 2009 Champ, Jensen Button going to Maclaren and multi-champion, Michael Schumacher coming out of retirement to fill his place at the now named Mercedes [...]

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again – the Ford Mustang is one of the most varied and versatile sports cars on the planet. Find me another car that’s just as sharp on a road course as it is sitting in your sister’s parking space in high school. Or tearing up a handful of [...]

It’s been way too long since we featured a little open-wheel glory here on Autofiends. To rectify that situation, I give you the Caterham CSR 175. Designed to be the most accessible – and sane – of the company’s CSR line, there’s a 175 horsepower, 2.3-liter Duratec four-cylinder. What, you aren’t bowled over by the [...]

Well, fiends, it’s finally here. Lexus yanked the sheets off of its much spy-shot LFA for the first time in Tokyo and it’s better than we could have imagined. First, there’s a 4.8-liter V10 with 552 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque that revs to a cloud-licking 9,000 rpm. Just sit for a second and [...]

Remember awhile back when we showed you all the vintage metal from Stuttgart parading around for a new commercial? Well, it looks like the spot has landed. In it, Porsche officially welcomes the four-door Panamera to the clan. With 917’s 356’s and plenty of 911’s on hand to show the newest addition the ropes, there’s [...]

It’s hard not to admire Lotus. While the rest of the motoring world’s waistline just keeps swelling, the manufacturer Chapman built does a pretty smart job of staying close to its featherweight roots. The company has just rolled out specs for the new Exige S240, and while the mechanical bits stay pretty close to last [...]

Singer Vehicle Design has taken the classic Porsche 911 and given it the bleeding guts out of a newer Stuttgart creation. The team keeps the car’s roof line and everything from the windshield forward, but the engine bay goes through a little surgery to accommodate a few modifications. Singer says the company provides reinforcements all [...]

Bust out the horseshoes, Fiends – Porsche’s throwing a family reunion. Stuttgart gathered 50 legends from the company’s motoring history to welcome the newest addition to the stable – the 2010 Panamera. Our boy Tanner Foust was among the lucky Fiends to be part of the making of Porsche’s celebration and got some seat time [...]

The hairy-chested wrenches at Ferrari rolled out the 2010 458 Italia at Frankfurt – an event I note on the same level of significance as asteroid impacts on Jupiter. Cool, sure, but the effects on my day-to-day existence are negligible at best. Yes, there’s a 570 horsepower V8 mounted mid-ship and a scalpel-precise DSG. And [...]
