The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is due for a major overhaul and the next generation 2+2 is expected to grow in size, be available with all-wheel drive and come packing Ferrari's new HY-KERS system. Caught cold weather testing near the Arctic Circle, the 2012 model is sporting a longer wheelbase and redesigned front and rear fascias, along with a massive hood bulge. Power is expected to be provided by an Enzo-derived V12 putting out around 530 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, and delivering grunt to a modified seven-speed dual-clutch ... Read more →

Next-generation Toyota Camry revealed in patent filings? (Updated) 9 days ago on Autoblog

Spy Shots: Are you the next Audi S8? 9 days ago on Autoblog

Check out what a very cold spy photographer snapped some pictures of. This car could very well be the upcoming Audi S8. Of course, as the car in the photos is totally unmarked, this could just be another variant of the big Audi. We've suspected for some time that a new S8 is coming, and we hear that ...

Alleged patent images for Porsche Panamera convertible turn up 10 days ago on Autoblog

See, apparently we aren't crazy, though we may have been a little smidge off the mark. Back in October, we reported that Porsche had begun work on an open top version of their then new Panamera super sedan. Only we said it would be a two-door 'cause, you know, drop top and all that. Whoops! If ...

Spy Shots: Opel Astra ST spotted braving the elements 11 days ago on Autoblog

Spy Shots: Next-gen Dodge Charger interior gets outed 11 days ago on Autoblog

There've been no shortage of spy shots to be had showing the upcoming next-gen Dodge Charger, but to date we've yet to see the interior fully revealed. Our spy photogs have remedied this by finally capturing the big rear-wheel-drive sedan's inner domicile. What's plainly obvious is that Dodge ...

Spy Shots: Noblesse takes tuned Honda CR-Z to Suzuka for testing [w/video] 11 days ago on Autoblog

A couple of days ago, we wrote about the specs for the 2011 Honda CR-Z, and most commenters weren't all that impressed. Spoon then let a little bit slip about what it was doing to make the hybrid coupe a little more engaging, but those were merely words. Now we have what is said to be track ...

Peekaboo: Cadillac CTS-V Wagon spied in L.A.? 15 days ago on Autoblog

Well, it sure looks like it. All credit for this one goes to one Aaron P., who emailed the following to us: So I was walking down Grand Avenue in Downtown LA, and they were shooting a Caddy commercial. There was a covered car, which I thought was the CTS Coupe, but the wind blew off the cover ...

Spy Shots: 2011 BMW M5 shows off more of its new skin 16 days ago on Autoblog

It seems that the 2011 BMW M5 is nearing production-ready status, and while the new supersedan may still be wearing a bit of swirly camouflage, it's easy to see what the more aggressive M5 will look like in its new F10 5 Series body. As we've mentioned earlier, the 2011 M5 is expected to ...

Spy Shots: Will Rhys Millen drive a Hyundai Equus at Pikes Peak this year? 16 days ago on Autoblog

Judging by these spy shots of a Hyundai Equus we just received from an alert reader, the Korean brand may be considering giving Rhys Millen a new ride to try and break the class record he set last year at Pikes Peak. Recall that in 2009, Millen ran up the 14,110-foot Colorado mountan-side in 12 ...

Spy Shots: 2012 Hyundai Accent 23 days ago on Autoblog

Spy Shots: Next-gen Ford Ranger global quad-cab spotted 26 days ago on Autoblog

Ford has done a lot of work over the past few years to really improve its F-Series line of pickups, in both standard F-150 and Super Duty forms.

More Spy Shots: 2012 Hyundai Veloster... or is that Tiburon? 27 days ago on Autoblog

Earlier this year we learned that the Veloster was given the green-light by Hyundai's top brass and with an on-sale date sometime in 2011 as a 2012 model, work on Hyundai's new hatch is well underway. Caught weathering the wintery climes, the camo-clad Veloster – or maybe more ...

Spy Shots: Ferrari 599 GTO, is that you again? 28 days ago on Autoblog

Spy Shots: Aston Martin Cygnet tours the streets of London 1 month ago on Autoblog

Plenty has been written about the Aston Martin Cygnet, and much of it has been less than enthusiastic. After all, how does one connect the dots between a tiny, efficient, low-performance city car and the British sporting brand's super high-performance models? Apparently, that would be with Aston's ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Porsche 911 Convertible 1 month ago on Autoblog

The latest round of Porsche 911 spy shots showed the coupe undergoing cold weather testing, and now our frost-bitten shooters have caught the convertible ahead of its reveal later this year. Being a 911, the stylistic changes won't be revolutionary, but we've gotten word from insiders that ...

2011 Porsche Cayenne leaks ahead of Geneva debut 1 month ago on Autoblog

While we've seen several spy shots of 2011 Porsche Cayenne prototypes and mules, plus a few renderings that purport to show the real deal, Porsche apparently let the cat out of the bag by mistake... again. On the Porsche website, an image that shows the 2011 Cayenne right in the middle of a ...

Spy Shots: Volvo V60 spotted doing the cold weather thing 1 month ago on Autoblog

We've just seen the 2011 Volvo S60 in all its production glory, and hot on the heels of that, we've got some snaps of the wagon version undergoing winter testing. Volvo's array of offerings have always included wagons. Safe, stolid Swedish Estates are a big part of what built the brand, and ...

Spy Shots: Get Shorty - VW Amarok goes single-cab 1 month ago on Autoblog

Is the two-door, single-cab pickup truck a thing of the past? Sometimes it seems that way, and judging by the distinct lack of bench seats and long beds we see roaming the parking lots at the local Home Depot, most of us prefer an extra set of doors and a couple more seat belts in lieu of a ...

Reader Spy: Next Pagani C9 supercar caught truckin' in South Africa 1 month ago on Autoblog

Looks like the dyke's about to burst on the new Pagani C9, Horacio Pagani's cat-out-of-the-bag replacement for the legendary Zonda. Long story short, the Zonda is over ten years-old. The new C9 will be lighter, faster and sport better dynamics. Powering the new hypercar is a special, developed ...

Reader Spy: Are you a new tuner Pontiac Firebird homage, the Chevy Camaro Z28, or something else? 1 month ago on Autoblog

Autoblog tipster Mark has sent in these images of what appears to be some sort of Chevrolet Camaro body restyling kit that turns the Bowtie musclecar a latter-day Pontiac Firebird tribute. As posted on GMInsideNews forums, there is speculation that the mule could actually be a Camaro Z28, what ...

With Aston Martin busy releasing the Rapide, preparing the Cygnet city car, running the One-77 flat out, gearing up for a fresh assault on Le Mans and toying again with the whole Lagonda project, it's been a while since we've heard anything about the Vantage. The entry-level model in Aston's ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS 1 month ago on Autoblog

Underneath that sparse camouflage is the all-new 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS, but you'd be forgiven for thinking that the update is only skin deep. As the current CLS is based off the older E-Class platform (W211), the 2011 model is set to swap to the updated architecture (W212) and gain a few new ...

The Emperor's New Clothes: Pagani C9 prototypes snapped in South Africa with fresh sheet metal 1 month ago on Autoblog

There's only so much testing that an automaker can undertake behind closed gates before the prototypes need to hit the open road.

Spy Shots: That would be the 2011 Kia Optima frolicking in the snow 1 month ago on Autoblog

According to a very well placed source deep within the South Korean manufacturing giant Hyundai Kia Automotive Group, the sedan above is not the 2012 Hyundai Azera as reported yesterday. Not only is the car not an Azera, it's not even a Hyundai. You are in fact looking at the 2011 Kia Optima. ...
