So what does the 'M' in a BMW stand for? Marketing. Yes, marketing and not motorsport. The reason is that BMW has stated in a recent report by TheDetroitBureau.com that the BMW 1 series M coupe will only have a one year run. One measly year? One year for a car that enthusiasts deem to be the spiritual replacement to the BMW E30 M3. And it was only launched and previewed in Singapore at the end of January.
Of course BMW said that they will only make 2,500units of the car and we all know a ma
If you have enough money to splash, you could pretty much enter any exotic car headquarters and ask for a completely custom car to be built specifically to your liking. Back in 2008, British collector Roland Hall commissioned a custom Rolls Royce, and the company created a one-off Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe dubbed the Hyperion.
Rolls Royce got legendary designer Jason Castriota to head the design team and constructed a Rolls Royce solely out of carbon fiber (with the exception of t

Just a couple of months ago, leaked brochure images of the Honda N-One car began to appear all over the world wide web. And recently, Honda dealers all over Japan have begun selling the car.
Now, the guys at Mugen Motorsports have unveiled exterior and interior parts for Honda
As we draw closer to the launch of the Alfa Romeo 4C at the Geneva Motor Show, the Italian car maker has released more images of the coupe as well as an interior photo for the first time. The side view of the interior photo shows a simple dashboard layout.
The sexy Italian two-door model measures less than 4 metres long and features a carbon fibre monocoque. The car weighs at approximately 960kg.
The 4C will be powered by a new four-cylinder 1,750cc engine capable of 240bhp. Powe
One of PlayStation’s popular titles, Gran Turismo, will launch a sixth version on the eve of its 15th anniversary next month with a smattering of spectacular new rides. Mercedes-Benz is one of the manufacturers to have fully engaged its marketing engine for the launch and is helping to kick-off the virtual exercise with a spectacular 585bhp virtual concept named the AMG Vision Gran Turismo.
The project reportedly started because of a challenge put forward by Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yam
PREVENTION is considered the best approach to modern healthcare. Instead of treating a health issue when it occurs, it is more effective to prevent it from occurring in the first place. The same goes for our rail network. To maintain the health of this vital service, it is important for the operators, Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) and SBS Transit, to take on the role of doctor by checking the network's pulse and reacting swiftly if it misses a beat.
Singapore has grappled with disrupti
As the CEO of Volkswagen AG, Martin Winkerkorn has a fairly vast purview, and as if to demonstrate just how vast it is, the VW boss confirmed two new developments on complete opposite ends of the Volkswagen family spectrum. First, the upcoming Bugatti Veyron replacement will get a new hybrid powertrain and second, Volkswagen is developing a new $10,000 budget car aimed at the Asian market.
Speaking with German outlet Bild, Winterkorn says the Bugatti Veyron replacement, tentatively called Ch
Drivetribe's Jethro Bovingdon bids a fond farewell to the Vauxhall VXR8 – and to the Australian super-saloon breed as production will soon come to an end…
Also known as the HSV GTS in Australia, the large performance sedan is fitted with a big 6.2-litre supercharged V8 unit that's a throwback to another era. Despite only having a six-speed autobox, its 576bhp and 740 Nm output masks the lack of gear ratios easily, allowing the car to display an unstressed character.

Geely - the Chinese car giant and owner of Volvo – has acquired Terrafugia, an American flying car company that intends to bring a model to the market by 2019.
Rumours of the acquisition first surfaced this summer, and Geely confirmed this week it was buying Terrafugia for an undisclosed sum.
Announcing the move, Geely’s chairman Li Shufu, said: “The team at Terrafugia have been at the forefront of believing in and realizing the vision for a flying car and creating the ultimate mobility
This news is slightly late but these are ex-Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson's five best cars of 2018.
As seen on Carscoops and published first in The Sunday Times, Clarkson has listed his top five cars of the year.
Bringing up the rear of the five is Aston Martin's Vantage and the Bentley's Continental GT. Clarkson didn't like the previous Continental GTs as they more of a 'footballer's car' but grew to like the new one now. As a fan of previous Vantages, the new one did not need to try h
It looks pretty good eh? Honda tuning arm Mugen has previewed their tuning kit for the upcoming Honda CR-Z hybrid sports coupe. However, it looks pretty good literally as not much tuning is done mechanically. The mods that would technically increase horsepower is limited to an exhaust system (most probably a cat-back only system) and air filter replacement which at the most would add about 5bhp to the total 122bhp it makes from both 1.5 liter engine and electric motor. The handling has also been
The United Kingdom Health Protection Agency has come out with a report stating that vehicle windscreen wiper water may be the cause of many of the cases of Legionaires' Disease in England and Wales. This startling discovery was made after some research was made from medical case records. The research was conducted after a questionnaire taken from people infected revealed that most of those that caught the disease spent a lot of time in cars and vans in industrial areas with the window open. So
Automakers who thought that the Chinese market is a gold mine would have to think twice. Demand in the country has slowed down towards the end of 2011 such that its sales increase is now less than what was achieved by the US market, a first for the last 14 years according to Bloomberg. Other emerging markets such as India and Brazil are slowing down as well.
Combined sales of cars, busses and trucks only rose 2.5% to 18.5 million vehicles in China in 2011, according to data released
Earlier this year in January, MINI announced its plans to revive the MINI Van and showcased the vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show. The car will be based on the MINI Clubman and the company called it the MINI Cargo. At that time, there were no photos or rendered images on how the car would look like.
Just before the above mentioned auto show began, MINI showed images of the car and they also changed the name to the MINI Clubvan. Initially, the company stated that the MINI Clubvan will o

The guys here at MyCarForum love our videos quite a bit. And when one as good as this comes up, we are more than happy to share it with everyone. Watch how GTChannel and Luke Huxham of Maiham Media come together to give you an artistic rendition of Japan's Super GT Round 2 at Fuji Speedway. We especially love the way Luke slowed down parts of it so that we can revel in the beauty of the cars. A good choice of soundtrack also helps.

While most of us love our cars a lot, I am sure your love won't be as deep or as crazy as this guy's love. According to Magazin ProDriver CZ, this owner loves his Ferrari LaFerrari so much that he parks it in his living room. We have no idea why he would want to do that because, if we had one, we would surely want to drive it around and not park it there where it could be hassle to move out if you long to drive it.
But then again, if you could afford one of Ferrari's most expensive car, you
Those in the their 50s or older will remember a time when hailing a cab involved fixing a price with the cabby before getting on board.
Even though taxi meters were made mandatory here in the mid-1950s, drivers - especially those driving illegal or "pirate" taxis - continued the practice of providing non-metered services.
In the 1970s, a policy change forced many of these drivers to become cabbies for NTUC Comfort, one of the predecessors of ComfortDelGro.

Who says performance cars need to come with a sporty ride? Last week we tested the BMW Alpina B5 to see if Alpina's take on the performance saloon is a viable alternative to the BMW M5.
So what sets this Alpina apart?
Firstly, the interior has received a host of luxurious touches to set it apart from the regular 5 Series: The digital dashboard in the B5 has its own Alpina-specific design and colour scheme, for example, while the handcrafted Alpina steering wheel is made of Lavali
