FRANKFURT AUTO SHOW
2008 Lamborghini Reventon
Only 20 examples of the Lamborghini Reventon will be built, and it will cost almost $1.4 million. But with mechanicals from the Murcielago LP640 and looks that could kill, it’s a small price to pay.
2007 Mercedes F700 DiesOtto Concept
Like all Mercedes F-series research vehicles, the F700 showcases technology that may seem outlandish, but will likely make it to production. How about 0-60 in 7.5 seconds and 44 mpg?
2007 BMW X6 Concept
If BMW's X6, a four-door monstrosity, looks like a cross between a 5-series, an X5, and a 6-series, then that's perfectly logical, because that's exactly what it is.
WALLPAPER PHOTO GALLERIES
2007 Kia Kee Concept
Take a closer look at the Kia Kee Concept -- it's a surprisingly sexy concept from Kia. And the photography looks like magazine work, not a show concept!
2008 Lamborghini Reventon Photo Gallery
The name is that of a famous Mexican bull that fought in the 1940s. The car, though, looks more like something from the year 2040. See the Reventon up close in our high-resolution wallpaper gallery.
2007 Mercedes F700 DIesOtto Concept Photo Gallery
Like all Mercedes F-series research vehicles, the F700 showcases technology that may seem outlandish, but will likely make it to production. How about 0-60 in 7.5 seconds and 44 mpg?
2008 Audi RS6 Avant Photo Gallery
Inspired by the Ur-Quattro, the 2008 Audi RS6 has squared-off fender flares. Take a closer look with our high-resolution, wallpaper-quality photos.
2008 Ford Kuga Photo Gallery
Have a long, hard look at the new Ford Focus-based Kuga crossover here in our wallpaper-quality photo gallery. It's a lot cheaper than flying to Frankfurt.
FUTURE CAR PREVIEWS
Future Tuner: 2009 Hyundai Tiburon
The yet-unnamed Genesis Coupe (we've heard that Hyundai is leaning towards Tiburon or Tuscani) has a muscular build and turbocharged two-liter engine. Sounds like a tuner car to us!
2007 Mini Cooper S – John Cooper Works Tuning Kit
Mini has released a factory tuning kit for the Cooper S that squeezes 17 extra horses out of the little 1.6-liter. But it costs a whopping $2000.
2008 Audi A4
The new A4 takes aim at BMW's 3-series, beating it in size and electronic gadgetry. Whether it'll beat it in driving dynamics is a question we'll have to wait to answer.
NEW CAR REVIEWS
Driven! Volkswagen GTI W12-650
European bureau chief Georg Kacher gets a run behind the wheel of the mid-engine, 650-hp, twin-turbo W-12 GTI. And it kicks him in the ass.
2007 Fiat 500
Mini had better watch out, because its first serious rival in the cute-and-cuddly compact sweepstakes is here. The prime challenger has been launched by Fiat; it’s the new 500.
2008 Honda Accord Coupe and Sedan
The traditional knock on Hondas - especially Accords - is that they're characterless appliances. But this family car has gotten a dramatic redesign, larger engines, and a lot of attitude.
VIDEOS
Video: 2008 BMW M3 V-8 In-Car Acceleration
First look! See this video of the not-yet-released 2008 BMW M3 accelerate through the gears, using all of its 414 horsepower.
Video - 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series Burnout
Listen to the Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series' 6.2-liter V-8 obliterate the rear tires and scream past the camera.
