What combines pink parts with a twin-turbo setup? We know, there’s no standard answer for this, as we are talking about a custom ride that comes with one important particularity: it is destined for a girl. It all starts with a 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo, which belonged to the owner’s dad. Her boyfriend wanted to surprise her and decided to bring the car, which had been sitting in the garage, having parted ways w... [...]

It used to be the case that when you had a custom car build, you had to take all the plastics off, sand it, re-prime it, apply a coat of paint, buff, apply another and so on.

The name Carroll Shelby spans across three makes ? Ford, Chrysler, and Dodge ? and is arguably the most recognized name by any true automotive buff. Unfortunately, we lost this remarkable man just weeks ago following a fight with pneumonia, but he is far from forgotten.

This past Wednesday, Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles decided that it was time to give Mr. Shelby a proper send off. Unlike many folks, a moment of silence just wouldn?t be a good fit for a man notorious for filling the streets with cars boasting awesome-sounding exhaust systems and cams that lobe so hard it feels like the earth is moving.

In lieu of the typical moment of silence, PAM chose to honor Mr. Shelby with a ?Moment of Noise? at precisely 6:55 p.m. PST on May 30th. Over 1,200 cars bearing the ?Shelby? name showed up at PAM to let their pistons and dual exhaust give this legend a proper send off. But it was not all about the noise, as there was a series of speakers that followed the roaring of these Shelby-designed machines in an event named ?Carroll Shelby a Life Remembered,? which Jay Leno hosted.[...]

Why are matte colors such a rare sight? Why do only a few carmakers include this in their offer and make you pay an incredible amount of money just because you don't want a metallic, a pearlescent or a glossy finish on your car?

The Lamborghini Gallardo hasn’t become the Raging Bull’s best-selling model for nothing: the V10-powered supercar is basically a package of assets, being able to please you in an infinite number of ways. However, it does also come with certain flaws and one of the most annoying is the set of paddles used by the models that come with the e-gear transmissions: the paddles are just to small, which means that we're ta...

And to no one’s surprise, British tuner extraordinaire Azfal Kahn and his peeps over at Kahn Design have decided to unveil their latest creation: the Range Rover Westminster Black Label Edition.

Of course most of you remember the Super GT Carlsson C25 Royale unveiled last year at the Geneva Motor Show. At the launch Carlsson announced that only 25 units will be built.
