Intel GT Series Battles the World ?Round

The Intel GT Series featured some great battles on two continents last week, with both the European Finals and the South American regionals taking place at Spa-Francorchamps. First came the European Finals which produced a race full of drama and not a little controversy. Lap 7 saw second place Jesse Nieminen (Finland) get a run on leader Atze Kerkhof (Netherlands) going into a corner. There was contact (first place claiming ?ghost? contact) which took the European Regional Series winner and race leader out of contention, while Nieminen went on to finish 7th. Raymond Mooney (Scotland) had a clean, incident-free race which found him in the lead with nine laps to go.  He never looked back en route to the victory, the spoils of which include an Intel Core i5 processor [...]

McLaren MP4-12Cs arrive in Baltimore

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. But most of all, give us your supercars.

There have been far too many that were never homologated for the American market, but thankfully the new McLaren MP4-12C isn’t one of them. McLaren Automotive has set up an entire network of dealers across these United States – and even one in Canada! Which is all well and fine, but ain’t worth jack if they don’t have stock.

Fortunately that’s exactly what has arrived at the Port of Baltimore and proliferated across the country. It’s enough to have us looking at what our extraneous organs would be worth on the black market, and you can see it for yourself in the video after the jump. (Pay close attention and you just might notice one passing something rather unique on Rodeo Drive.)

Ford’s clever Sports Illustrated Swimsuit ad features phantom model

0

Filed under: , , , ,

Dalena Henriques and Ford Mustang

Capitalizing on the allure of attractive models for automotive advertising is anything but a recent phenomenon. Inventing a supermodel, on the other hand, is one of the more inspired tactics we’ve stumbled across in recent memory.

According to the marketing gurus at Adweek, Ford has placed a full-page advertisement in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition that includes a beautiful blue Mustang posing alongside what appears to be an equally beautiful and scantily clad model named Dalena Henriques. A quick Google search on her name, not surprisingly, brings up dalenahenriques.com as the top result.

Here’s where things get a bit tricky. It seems Dalena Henriques may not be a real person at all. A visit to her website shows the stunning brunette in pose after pose with the 2013 Mustang, and her face is never fully in the frame. The Mustang, though, is front and center in every single image. Clever, Ford. Very clever.

Review: 2012 Buick Regal GS

0

Filed under: , , , ,

A Great Sport Sedan With One Big “But”

Of the remaining General Motors nameplates, Buick is the one that’s most difficult to wrap your mind around. On the one hand, it’s supposed to be a premium brand, but on the other, it’s selling vehicles with sticker prices that tend to start in the $20,000 price range, seemingly encroaching on Chevrolet territory. To wit: The Buick Verano is a bit over $23,000 and the Buick Regal starts just under $28,000, while Chevy sells its Cruze, Malibu and Impala in that same range. Even the Buick LaCrosse, whose price shot up nearly $4,000 this year, starts at $31,045. Indeed, GM must be using a mandoline to price the different versions of its sedans clustered around the $25,000-$30,000 price range.

But it’s over that threshold where things get really perplexing. Because whether we understand GM’s strategy or not, a twenty-some-thousand dollar Buick makes sense. You look at all the boxes you have to tick on a mainstream brand product to get the amenities that Buick offers and you dump that and all the data about the premium competition in a spreadsheet, and you can probably justify a Buick as a wise purchase. If you’re an actuary or an accountant, all the better.

A Regal GS with a $35,310 base price (or an as-tested cost of $38,155 like ours), however, has stepped onto an entirely different playing field, like a junior varsity kid getting bumped up to play on Friday night. This isn’t the sort of car you research over the Internet and lease after a five-minute test drive. It’s purportedly a driver’s car, something to seek out and manhandle. We thus find it rather disingenuous to compare it with cars from Acura and Volvo – the Regal GS is really scrapping with vetted sports sedans like the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series, and even its kissing-GM-cousin, the larger Cadillac CTS.

Jensen FF and Ferrari FF in St. Moritz

The Jensen Interceptor FF and the Ferrari FF share two letters, but the commonality extends far beyond a nameplate. Both cars are exotic GTs, both have rather unusual roof profiles and 2+2 seating, both are pioneers in all-wheel drive… and both would be fantastic for a trip through the Swiss alps.

To put that last bit to the test, Classic Driver took the pair up to St. Moritz, and brought along a video crew to document the encounter. Follow the jump to see what they captured.

Exclusive: Kia Track’ster unlikely for production, but hints at next-generation Soul “family”

0

Filed under: , , , ,

Expect the next Soul to look something like the Track’ster, with Kia deploying more than one variant.

Kia’s Track’ster Concept is one of the big hits of the Chicago Auto Show, one of the rare concepts that just screams, “Build me!” But after a thorough interrogation of Kia’s PR team and an interview with design chief Peter Schreyer, we realize that’s just wishful thinking. We do, however, expect the next Soul to look something like the Track’ster, with Kia deploying more than one variant when the second generation appears in a few years.

“If the Soul were to evolve into a family, it would be nice,” Schreyer told us.

Kia spokesman Scott McKee repeatedly said the Track’ster was just a concept and not intended to be production feasible, all the while issuing the standard auto company disclaimer, “Every concept car we do is about gathering information from consumers and media.”

One of the big pieces of information Kia is likely looking for is whether performance cars from Kia would play with the notoriously cliquish enthusiast community. Even more importantly, however, Kia will be gauging interest in additional body styles for the Soul. Schreyer said he thinks the Soul would be “more substantial” if it were also offered in a two-door version, or in a more performance-oriented flavor. All-wheel drive is a feature Schreyer also specifically mentioned as being on his wish list.

Confirmed: GM confirms discontinued Saturn Outlook parts used in refreshed GMC Acadia

Filed under: , , , ,

2013 GMC Acadia

Yesterday, Car and Driver called out GM in a snarky blog post for repurposing parts from the discontinued Saturn Outlook to refresh the GMC Acadia. GM didn’t confirm C/D‘s suspicions at the time, but after we called and asked politely, GMC PR did answer our request.

According to spokesman Joe LaMuraglia, the 2013 Acadia liftgate glass, spoiler, rear quarter panel and rear side glass are all sourced from the Outlook. The hatch is also the same as the Saturn, but that’s always been the case, as the old Acadia used the same part.

Now before you rush to judgment here, we suggest you take a good hard look at the new Acadia and tell us you don’t think it looks better than the old model. We’ve always thought the Saturn Outlook was the more attractive of the siblings, so we don’t have any issues with GM’s parts-sharing tactic, especially considering all these parts are in the rear of the vehicle rather than up front in the all-important “face.”

Considering that GM is likely to still be producing service parts for the thousands of Outlooks on the road, this is actually a really good move. Needless spending to refresh the Acadia when this suitable alternative already exists is the kind of smart decision that we hope GM continues to make.

Official: Aston Martin debuts production V12 Zagato

Filed under: , , , , , , , ,

Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Aston Martin has pulled back the sheets on the first images of its production V12 Zagato. The road car is headed for an official debut at this year’s Geneva Motor Show in March.

Following in the tradition of the automaker’s ultra exclusive One-77, the V12 Zagato will take more than 2,000 man-hours to manufacture thanks to hand-hewn body panels, including the hood, roof and doors. Not surprisingly, Aston Martin has committed to building just 150 examples. The V12 Zagato will also make extensive use of carbon fiber, with the front and rear fenders, trunk lid and door sills all constructed from the composite.

Aston Martin created four new colors especially for the V12 Zagato, and paint alone takes 100 hours to complete. Indoors, it takes a full seven hides to cover the cabin in hand-stitched, quilted leather.

The V12 Zagato effectively rides on the same underpinnings as the V12 Vantage, which means buyers can look forward to a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, while a six-speed manual transmission puts the power to the ground. Hit the jump for the full press release.

Boullier bullish over future of FOTA

Lotus team principal Eric Boullier is confident that the Formula One Teams’ Association (FOTA) has a strong future, despite the departure of several members. Ferrari, Red Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso and Sauber all decided to quit FOTA at the end of 2011 as a legacy of the ongoing row over the Resource Restriction Agreement (RRA). The move prompted doubts over the future of FOTA, but Boullier, who remains as vice-chairman for 2012, is confident that the body can not only survive but also thrive because co-operation with the non-member teams is still ongoing.
