As though having automotive installations in the MoMA wasn’t enough, Infiniti decided to revive an old tradition to celebrate their 20th anniversary. More information and a gallery after [...]

When CAR Magazine Editor LJK Setright claimed to coin the term “supercar” in the mid-1960′s, he was referring to the Lamborghini Miura. At the time, a supercar was defined as a car that was mid-engined, outlandishly expensive, rare, and supremely quick. Today, cars like the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and the Nissan GT-R blur the [...]

Get it? Boosted? Because Hamilton’s McLaren uses KERS? Knee-slapping, I know. Winning from the pole position by a triumphant 9.634 second margin over Toyota’s Timo Glock and 16.624 seconds over Renault’s Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton won for the second time this season and is now in 6th place in this season’s Driver Standings.

While it has been confirmed that the 169 is to be built in North America, Inside line expects the production to happen in Brampton, Ontario along side the Chinese Rolls-Royce knock-off Chrysler 300.
