Geiger, the German tuner with a fascination with American performance cars, generally produces modified vehicles in not-so-subtle and "look at me!" variations. This Ford GT encompasses both varietys, with plenty of performance upgrades to boot. Geiger has previously modified the Blue Oval's retro supercar and ended up with impressive results - 701 horsepower, 617 lb-ft torque, and 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

Loma Performance unveils Corvette C6.BlackforceOne 2 days ago on Autoblog

Loma Performance seems to think that its new BlackforceOne Corvette is somehow evocative of POTUS' personal airplane. "Clearly reminiscent," they go so far as to say in their press release. (We think the moniker sounds as if could have been the title of a 1970s action film starring Fred ...

Pull Over: Broward County Sheriff gets a full-dress Challenger R/T 7 days ago on Autoblog

We like police cars. Seriously. Just not when they're filling our rearview mirrors, blue-and-reds ablaze. Then, our fanboy status diminishes markedly. In the meantime, however, we get pretty jazzed when a department does something a little different and cool. This week's example comes from the ...

Range-topping Lamborghini Urus rumored anew 8 days ago on Autoblog

So you like the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV, but you're struggling to justify the price. After all, it may be just as fast as the Reventón, but it only costs a third of that range-topping bull. You like that it's the latest limited-edition hypercar from Sant'Agata Bolognese, but ...

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad: Most Chevy Camaros reportedly being sold with V8 power 8 days ago on Autoblog

It's a sign of the times that most buyers of the new Camaro would go for the V6 and not the V8. At $31,595, the eight-cylinder SS model naturally sells for more than the $23,530 base V6 model. To compound the issue the V6 model costs the auto giant nearly as much to build as the V8 version. ...

Rumormill: 2011 Ford Mustang details leak out 9 days ago on Autoblog

We have to wait a couple more weeks before we're officially "in the know" about the 2011 Ford Mustang, but it appears FoMoCo's secret information dam has a few cracks in it.

Cayman Sand: Nor'Ida claims its latest victim 9 days ago on Autoblog

It's bad enough when natural disasters lay waste to homes and coastline, but we're not sure we can bear the sight of this sort of car-carnage.

The backstory behind HPP's showstopping Daytona conversion... is a Chevy Camaro next? 10 days ago on Autoblog

When we saw the HPP Daytona at this year's SEMA show, two things became very apparent. One, we'd really like to drive it. Two, we need better pictures of it. See, the poor thing got itself shoved into a tight booth at SEMA and we just couldn't get too many decent shots. So, being the ...

The 2009 Tokyo Motor Show has come and gone, and despite rumors leading up to the event, Nissan never unveiled a SpecM version of the GT-R.

VIDEO: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG crash-test video shows off exploding door hinges 10 days ago on Autoblog

Bufori drops the retro and goes for the contemporary with new Malaysian-built CS 11 days ago on Autoblog

First things first – these are renderings. In other words, an artist's conception of what the finished product will (probably) look like. Are these the best renderings ever produced? In a word, no. They actually leave quite a bit to be desired. But, they are just renderings. Got it? Good. ...

eBay Find of the Day: George Barris Olds Toronado 70-X is wraparound luxury 11 days ago on Autoblog

If you've never seen Vincent Gallo's Buffalo 66, stop reading and watch it. Why? Because otherwise the next part of this post isn't going to make any sense to you. Anyhow, remember the scene when his Billy Brown character kidnaps/carjacks Christina Ricci's Layla and forces her to drive because ...
