Aston Martin has rolled out a slew of new photos of the V12 Vantage in all of its hood-louvered glory. The new Vantage gets slathered in weight-saving goodies like a carbon-fiber driveshaft to offset the poundage from four extra cylinders, helping to keep its curb weight within 100 pounds of the V8 Vantage. Powered by [...]

I. Despite bankruptcy, Steve Saleen released a new monster creation based on the Dodge Challenger. Called the SMS 570X, it’s packing a Mopar 6.0-liter with forged rods and slick new aluminum heads. With 700 stallions beneath your foot, you shouldn’t have a problem galloping all over whatever gets in your way. [Source: Autoblog]

By now you’ve probably heard all about Aston Martin’s Lagonda ute. Feel free to take my stony silence on the rig as an indictment. Four passenger? Sure. V12? Absolutely. Sport Utility? I’m sorry, the correct answer was low-slung Grand Tourer. Thanks for playing. I’m done, promise.

It’s no secret I’ve got a barge-sized soft spot for anything with a Lincoln badge, so why not spread the joy of genuine American luxury? Lincoln’s weren’t always rebadged Ford Crown Vics. Oh no. Once upon a long, long time ago, the company was its own entity braving untested aesthetic waters and rolling out potent [...]

You’ve gotta love Aston Martin. While the rest of the world is pairing down their power plants and ditching heavy-breathing muscle, the company that’s supplied Bond with his wheels for the past few millennia just announced it will show off a V12-powered Vantage at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Rock. The motor is the [...]

They are claiming the above images were “released” early by Astin Martin. Of course, why would Aston Martin release these two computerized drawings to only Autocar? Right, they wouldn’t. [...]

Step 1: Turn your iTunes offs. Step 2: Turn the volume up. Step 3: Listen to that beast of twin-turbo AMG v12 sing its song. Step 4: Pick jaw up out of your lap. Yo, seriously, this is amazing. Especially around the 1:30 mark where the Zonda sounds like someone’s playing a theramin with a [...]

We can’t show you the pictures here, but if you were to say click on over to World Car Fans, you’d get a look at a silver Rapide dashing through the snow. The silver (re: lighter) color is an important spy shot milestone because not only can you more clearly make out exactly the size [...]

The shit talkin’ is reaching new heights of cattiness here on Autofiends. In this edition of “You Be the Judge” I’ll be taking off my sexy, figure-flattering judicial robes and letting y’all decide. In this corner we have the amazingly named Pendejo Racing and their epic, triple cool Shaguar XJS. With twelve — count ‘em, [...]

As I mentioned this morning in the Mega Cheaters article, when it comes to the 24 Hours of LeMons, winning isn’t everything. In fact, winning is kind of lame. I mean serious — big deal. You have a reliable car, you didn’t drive fast or aggressive enough to crash and get penalized, your team is [...]
