Rolls Royce: la 102EX non ha convinto i potenziali acquirenti. Nel futuro le Ghost Coupè e Drophead
Fin dal primo giorno i vertici Rolls Royce hanno considerato la 102EX come una vettura laboratorio, un 'semplice' prototipo destinato a catturare le impressioni e valutare l'accoglienza di quei clienti interessati ad un'ammiraglia elettrica. Car and Driver ha infatti definito la Phantom a zero emissioni una "market-research project", il cui effettivo potenziale è stato valutato negli ultimi mesi da 500 automobilisti....

Chevrolet to replace Impala in NASCAR for 2013, new production model hinted
Filed under: Motorsports, Chevrolet, GM, Racing According to Chevrolet, the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will kick off without an Impala on the starting grid. That's news itself, considering how intertwined the Impala is with Chevy's NASCAR presence, earning 70 wins since 2007. Even more intriguing, though, is that Chevy says it "will be racing a vehicle based on a new nameplate to the brand's lineup." That means the 2013 racer won't be...

Speaking at the White House but with the support of both Japan (no surprise there) and the European...

Report: Mini changing Paceman name to Countryman Coupe for production
Filed under: Etc., Europe, Crossover, Hatchback, Mini It's pretty obvious that automakers' definition of the word 'coupe' these days is a far cry from the traditional meaning. (We do live in the world of the "four-door coupe," after all.) That said, Car and Driver reports that Mini will call the company's two-door Paceman Concept the Countryman Coupe once it hits production. While it's true that both the Paceman Concept and most coupes have...
