Ford replaced the long-serving Focus RS last season, and will carry on with the new Fiesta RS for another crack at the WRC title it narrowly lost once again to Citroën last season. Expect to see fewer than twelve examples be on the stages of WRC this season, while only two machines will be factory-backed. The Ford World Rally Team just revealed their new livery for the upcoming season at the Autosport International show in Birmingham, England.

Castrol returns once again as the title sponsor, its logo dominates the new color scheme which will be sported by returning five-time rally winner Jari-Matti Latvala (with co-driver Miika Anttila) and former champion Petter Solberg (with Chris Patterson). The latter replaces perennial runner-up Mikko Hirvonen, who left for Citroën this season. Check out the new livery below and we can’t wait to see these on the circuit! …click here to read more

The talk of the week is that Porsche just unveiled its new 2012 911 Carrera Cabriolet at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this week, but the German automaker isn’t wasting any time before showing off the 2013 Boxster. The mid-engine roadster won’t make its official debut until the Geneva Motor Show in March, but we’ve been given some preliminary details ahead of the new Box’s primetime unveiling.

In classic Porsche fashion, the new Boxster’s design is more evolution than revolution. We think it’s the best-looking Boxster yet. With the revised headlamps and more agressive running lamp & air intake, and the wider stance and longer wheelbase are nicely masked in the new design. The 2013 Boxster’s shed a few pounds compared to its predecessor, which will not only make it that much more engaging out on the road, but also improve fuel economy by using an all-aluminum skin. …click here to read more

Many of us would say that a revival of the iconic NSX is long overdue. Honda decided that if it was going to go to the trouble of producing a legitimate sportscar, it was going to take on the very best in the industry. From the looks of it, the NSX delivered the goods.

Like its predecessor, this latest take on the NSX promises to shed excess weight through the use of a new platform made from the latest lightweight materials. Power, as with the original, will come from a V6 mounted in the rear, except this time, it will be augmented by an electric motor. …click here to read more

The Car Show on SPEED channel has not been picked up for a second season, and as a result has been cancelled. The show first debuted back on July 13th and was supposed to be SPEED TV’s alternative to Top Gear – which has been picked up for a second season.

The panel of hosts on The Car Show included Adam Carolla, Dan Neil, former NBA star John Sally and Matt Farah.

It appears that several of the cast members doesn’t have a whole lot of great things to say about working with SPEED TV, with Matt Farah stating on his Facebook “R.I.P The Car Show. On to bigger and hopefully much better things (that I have actual control over to make sure they are good).” But the better of the quotes is what Dan Neil had to say: “great news everybody! The Car Show didn’t get picked up for a second season. That means I can move forward with the TV show I really want to do, about green energy, electric cars and socially appropriate transportation solutions. It’s call ‘Titties.’ Ratings, you know.”
