Huh. Didn’t see this one coming. There’s a pesky little rumor swirling around the Web saying Jaguar’s hard at work on a new creation. A creation with three doors and an oil-burner under the hood. Now, we tend to put about as much faith in web-born rumors as we do promises of more horsepower from [...]

File this one under the just-not-fair file. Way across the pond, Subie fans can opt for a thrifty 2.0-liter diesel engine with 150 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers aren’t exactly disappointing, especially when you throw in the lofty 47.9 mpg figure. We’re guessing that’s mpg UK, which tallies out to around 40 [...]

Now here’s a juicy tid bit for you Bimmerphiles amongst us. Word ‘round the Web is ze Germans are thinking about plopping an oil burner behind the headlights of the next M3. Before you go and get your lederhosen in a twist, just think of the possibility. Die hard fans of the mighty M cried [...]

With Audi campaigning an all-new generation R15 diesel at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, the company seems to be comfortable enough to let a round of auto journos behind the wheel. One of the lucky SOB’s was EVO’s James Mills, and the write up is absolutely worth the read. From Mills’ impressions, [...]

Audi just announced plans to roll out a  new diesel engine for the A3 and A3 Sportback. The 1.6-liter turbo four-pot dishes out 105 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque in its most meaty form and returns a little over 57 mpg US. Holy hell. Part of that fantastic fuel economy is thanks to a [...]

Volvo’s been strangely silent during the new surge of green cars and trucks. Aside from a plug-in hybrid concept of its C30 hatch, we haven’t seen too much in the way of eco-fighting goodness from the land of Ikea. Now the company is boasting it should have a plug-in diesel electric hybrid by 2012. To [...]

Think Ford’s the only domestic carmaker out there hammering away on new engines? Think again. Just because GM knocking on Chapter 11’s door doesn’t mean it can’t roll out some seriously cool tech. According to the Fiends over at Daily Tech, the General has just unveiled a new gasoline engine called the HCCI (Homogeneous Charge [...]

As if news Porsche’s 914 successor isn’t meant to be wans’t bad enough, it looks like VW is wavering on whether or not to build the diesel roadster. The company cites the economy (you think?) as the big factor on whether or not the drop-top ever sees the light of day again. Of course we’ve [...]

Sigh. Audi just let loose word we can all give up hoping to see any version of the company’s monolithic V12 TDI behind the seats of the R8. Is it so much for a man to ask for 740 lb-ft of torque in a mid-ship oil burner? I don’t think so. The causes are just [...]

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is right around the corner, and Audi’s making no qualms about gunning for yet another first-place finish. We don’t need to tell you about Audi’s long-standing dynasty when it comes to Le Mans, but with an all-new platform and increased pressure from rival Peugeot, this year should prove to [...]
